Baker ), " Colonizing the Outer Solar System ", " Terraforming Mars " ( co-authored with Christopher McKay ), and " The Magnetic Sail ".

* International: Direct microwave radio relay link with Martinique and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines ; tropospheric scatter to Barbados ; international calls beyond these countries are carried by Intelsat from Martinique.

Direct gap semiconductors are particularly important in optoelectronics because they are much more efficient as light emitters than indirect gap materials ; an electron movnig between two bands need not exchange momentum with phonons in the crystal lattice.

The IWW founded the Anti-Conscription League ( ACL ) in which IWW members worked with the broader labour and peace movement, and also carried on an aggressive propaganda campaign in its own name ; leading to the imprisonment of Tom Barker ( 1887 – 1970 ) the editor of the IWW paper Direct Action, sentenced to twelve months in March 1916.

In the 1966 Direct Cinema film Chelsea Girls, Andy Warhol filmed various acquaintances with no direction given ; the Radio Times Guide to Film 2007 stated that the film was " to blame for reality television.

Studies show that under ideal propagation conditions ( simulations ), Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum ( DSSS ) provides the highest throughput for all nodes on a network when used in conjunction with CSMA / CA and the IEEE 802. 11 RTS / CTS exchange under light network load conditions.

The disk, tape or card deck must contain a special program to load the actual operating system into main storage, and for this specific purpose " IPL Text " is placed on the disk by the stand-alone DASDI ( Direct Access Storage Device Initialization ) program or an equivalent program running under an operating system, e. g., ICKDSF, but IPL-able tapes and card decks are usually distributed with this " IPL Text " already present.

In the 1960s, with the domestic conversion still underway, plans were laid to extend Direct Dialing beyond North America and its nearby islands.

Direct current ( DC ) is the unidirectional flow of electric charge.

Direct current is produced by sources such as batteries, thermocouples, solar cells, and commutator-type electric machines of the dynamo type.

Direct current may flow in a conductor such as a wire, but can also flow through semiconductors, insulators, or even through a vacuum as in electron or ion beams.

* Direct current

Direct current, as produced by example from a battery and required by most electronic devices, is a unidirectional flow from the positive part of a circuit to the negative.

* Direct current

Direct current ( DC ) is the unidirectional flow of electric charge.

Direct current is produced by sources such as batteries, thermocouples, solar cells, and commutator-type electric machines of the dynamo type.

Direct current may flow in a conductor such as a wire, but can also flow through semiconductors, insulators, or even through a vacuum as in electron or ion beams.

Direct current may be obtained from an alternating current supply by use of a current-switching arrangement called a rectifier, which contains electronic elements ( usually ) or electromechanical elements ( historically ) that allow current to flow only in one direction.

Direct current may be made into alternating current with an inverter or a motor-generator set.

Direct current is used to charge batteries, and in nearly all electronic systems, as the power supply.

Direct current is used for some railway propulsion, especially in urban areas.
