The Institute of Science & Management ( ISM ), formerly known as Indian Institute of Science & Management had, came into being in the year 1985 with an idea of catering to the long felt need of management education to the upcoming youth of the developing region of Chgotanagpur.

802. 11a uses the 5 GHz U-NII band, which, for much of the world, offers at least 23 non-overlapping channels rather than the 2. 4 GHz ISM frequency band, where adjacent channels overlap-see list of WLAN channels.

Mira's bow-shock will eventually evolve into a planetary nebula, the form of which will be considerably affected by the motion through the interstellar medium ( ISM ).

LPD433 ( Low Power Device 433 MHz ) is a part of ITU region 1 ISM band which allows for licence free communication devices, using frequencies in the UHF band from 433. 075 MHz to 434. 775 MHz.

The ISM does not support or condone any acts of terrorism – which is not legitimate armed struggle.

This is not really a ' strategy ' as such, but is a prerequisite for ISM being able to conduct many of the above activities as areas in which the ISM is active are often summarily designated as " closed military zones " by the IDF.

According to the ISM's account, he had been going door to door looking for a place to go, arrived at the building ( which is also used by the Red Cross and Medecins Sans Frontieres ) cold and wet, and was offered a chance to dry and warm up by an ISM volunteer.

The Local Bubble is a cavity in the interstellar medium ( ISM ) in the Orion Arm of the Milky Way which contains the Local Interstellar Cloud and G-cloud ( as well as others ).

Legal broadcast methods may include ISM bands, used legally at low power to broadcast for personal use, a video sender, used to distribute video ( sometimes wireless security cameras ) within a home or small business, or FM Transmitters, used to transmit satellite radio or digital media players to stereo systems which have no wired input ( i. e. car radios ).

Additionally, turbulence in the interstellar gas causes density inhomogeneities in the ISM which cause scattering of the radio waves from the pulsar.

Due to the high velocity ( up to several hundred km / s ) of many pulsars, a single pulsar scans the ISM rapidly, which results in changing scintillation patterns over timescales of a few minutes.

The form of the standard extinction curve depends on the composition of the ISM, which varies from galaxy to galaxy.

However, H I has not been seen and the interstellar medium ( ISM ) mass upper limit is much lower than expected had the material which is emitted from evolving stars been kept in the galaxy.
