The television field uses around four kinds of microphones as basic equipment; the hand-held omnidirectional, the tiny lavalier mic, which is used by clipping on clothing, a wireless microphone called the transmitter mic, and the shotgun mic.
The Omnidirectional Microphone comes in many different shapes and sizes. They are used when the background sound is normally low.

Nuclear Weapons
Words: 913 - Pages: 4.... to test nuclear weapons in
the atmosphere, in outer space, or underwater. The only testing that was
allowed was underground testing.
Attempts to control the number of nuclear weapons in the world began
about 1970. The Strategic Arms Limitation Talks(SALT) was a convention held by
the United States and the Soviet Union to limit the numbers in nuclear weapons.
In 1982, the United States and the Soviet Union began the Strategic Arms
Reduction Talks(START). Unlike the SALT talks, these were aimed at the number
of nuclear weapons each country could obtain. Then there was another treaty
signed in 1987 which was called the Intermediate Range .....

Collisions Of Two Objects
Words: 217 - Pages: 1.... of an
isolated system is the table and the balls, and the law then implies that the
total momentum of the balls just before they collide is the total momentum just
after the collision.
Therefore if the masses of two colliding objects are known, the velocity
and the velocity of the other before the collision, you can calculate the final
velocity of this second object after it has collided. To obtain an exact answer
however, we must find out what type of collision takes place, whether it is
elastic or not elastic.
The type of collision is characterized by what is called the coefficient
of restitution. This quantity is approx .....

Plan And Purpose (Creation) Or Time And Chance (Evolution)?
Words: 16538 - Pages: 61.... that are biased
in their approach. However, the question is: βWhich bias is the best bias
to be biased with?β
1. Why can you say that both Creation and Evolution are biased in their
approach?
You can say that both creation and evolution are biased in their
approach because those that believe in creation (creationists) posses a
strong, firm, uncompromising sense of their beliefs and doctrines, and
those that believe in evolution (evolutionists) posses an incompressible
view of their beliefs. Creationists firmly believe that their tentative
assumptions and ideology on how the universe was formed and how life began
is le .....

Antibiotic Resistance In Bacteria
Words: 704 - Pages: 3.... patients feel that the symptoms of their disease have improved, they often stop taking the drug. Just because the symptoms have disappeared it does not mean the disease has gone away. Prescribed drugs should be taken until all the medicine is gone so the disease is completely finished. If it is not, then this will just give the bacteria some time to find a way to avoid the effects of the drug.
One antibiotic that will always have a long lasting effect in history is penicillin. This was the first antibiotic ever to be discovered. Alexander Fleming was the person responsible for the discovery in 1928. In his laboratory, he noticed that .....

Dna And Forensics
Words: 666 - Pages: 3.... can be found in such things as blood and semen. It can also be found in such things as tissue found beneath the fingernails of a victim after a struggle, it can even be found in saliva cells left on a mouthpiece of a telephone after a conversation. DNA is everywhere in a persons body, and can not be replicated. It is unique to every person, but all blood relatives have similar qualities that make them identifiable. (Joe Mickel and John F. Fischer, 1998)
DNA stands for deoxyribonucleic acid, and it basically looks like a twisted ladder, or a double helix with rungs or base pairs. Guanine (G), Adenine (A), Thymine (T), and Cytosine (C) a .....

Bulemia
Words: 651 - Pages: 3.... found several medical journals, psychiatric
journals, and books on the topic of eating disorders that could affirm my
feelings.
As I tried to rationalize my friend's behavior, I decided that social
acceptability had to have played a large part in her illness. I also took into
account that her mother had passed away about 7 years before she broke
her news to me, and she had also given up her crown as Miss Iowa, so
depression could have been a factor as well. Another aspect of eating
disorders that I discovered is a lack of self-esteem, something I never
imagined.
The first source I found to dispute the sexual repre .....
