Compact Disc Technology: Digital Audio Recording
The Compact Disc: Digital Sound
Introduction
The development of the compact disc, with audio recording in digital form, has solved problems such as wear on disks and tapes, *wow* and *flutter*. It has improved the signal-to-noise ratio and offers the advantages of a digital system, such as precision in storage, transmission, and any other information processing that is characteristically digital.
An analog signal can take any value and varies progressively and continuously. To record digitally on a

Factors Influencing Resistance in a Conductor
The resistance (R) of a conductor, measured in ohms (Ω), is influenced by the following factors:
- Resistivity (ρ): An inherent property of the material, indicating its opposition to current flow.
- Length (L): Resistance is directly proportional to the conductor’s length. Longer conductors offer more resistance.
- Cross-sectional Area (A): Resistance is inversely proportional to the cross-sectional area. A larger area allows for easier current flow, resulting
Digital TV & Video Broadcasting: Key Concepts & Technologies
1. Define an LDA: Duration and Content
An LDA (Line Double Alternate) is digitizing only the signal bits containing information. It lasts 53.33 microseconds, contains 720 samples, and 360 luminance and color difference signals.
2. What Types of Images Can Be Transmitted in the MPEG System?
The MPEG system can transmit in VCD format and can store 78 minutes of video with two channels of sound on a 700 MB CD-ROM.
3. Explain the Interface Characteristics of a Firewire Connection

Tasks vs. Activities in Language Learning
Tasks vs. Activities: Key Differences
- The term “task” means “a piece of work to be undertaken or done” or simply “work,” and “activity” means “some event or some happening.”
- A task can also be called an assignment that someone has been assigned to do.
- A task can be said to be any activity that is done with a particular purpose. On the other hand, an activity can be said to be a work that is done with no particular purpose in mind or with some purpose in mind.
- Unlike a “task,”
Intranet in Education: Applications, Word Processors, Multimedia, and TV
What is an Intranet?
Intranets are private networks based on Internet technology. Many schools develop this type of network.
Six Major Educational Applications of the Internet
Interpersonal Communication
The Internet facilitates communication by bridging the gap between students, between students and groups, and between learner and teacher. It raises motivation in learning and is a project of rapprochement between different cultures.
Gathering Information
It means looking for information in a directory,
Understanding Needs Assessment in Curriculum Development
The assessment of needs is a critical and complex issue, which comprises the most significant component of the curriculum development process. Teachers should play a pivotal role in this process if effective learning is ever going to take place.
These assessments of needs should be done with reference to the four P’s: Problem, People, Place, and Performance.
Roger Kaufman is known as the “Father of Needs Assessment”.
