Indeed, one school superintendent in a large city objects to the use of the term comprehensive high school for the senior high schools in his city, because these schools do not offer strictly vocational programs.

In any case, anyone who fails to make significant distinction between primary and secondary applications of economic pressure would in principle already have justified that use of economic boycott as a means which broke out a few years ago or was skillfully organized by White Citizens' Councils in the entire state of Mississippi against every local Philco dealer in that state, in protest against a Philco-sponsored program over a national TV network on which was presented a drama showing, it seemed, a `` high yellow gal '' smooching with a white man.

Assistive Technology for Cognition ( ATC ) is the use of technology ( usually high tech ) to augment and assistive cognitive processes such as attention, memory, self-regulation, navigation, emotion recognition and management, planning, and sequencing activity.

Owing to its scarcity, high price and radioactivity, actinium has no significant industrial use.

Most often, the term describes those who create within a context of the fine arts or ' high culture ', activities such as drawing, painting, sculpture, acting, dancing, writing, filmmaking, photography, and music — people who use imagination, talent, or skill to create works that may be judged to have an aesthetic value.

Because of the tortuous terrain in places, villages and towns in the mountains — to which travel via motorized vehicles are of little use — are still located in the high Andes of Argentina, Bolivia, Peru, and Ecuador.

As more people begin to use planes as their primary method of transportation, more elaborate methods of controlling aircraft safely in these high restrictive airspaces have been invented.

While comparatively inefficient for low speed use, they are very lightweight and powerful, capable of generating large accelerations and of attaining extremely high speeds with reasonable efficiency.

This video card would also support fast scrolling of high resolution color screens for games, because it had the indirection of the character pointers, so it was possible to quickly scroll the high resolution display, ( or use other effects ) by simply manipulating the 1920 / 1024 bytes of text video instead of the 24. 576 bytes of high resolution video memory.

The standard tuning for an acoustic guitar is E-A-D-G-B-E ( low to high ), although many players, particularly fingerpickers, use alternate tunings ( scordatura ), such as " open G " ( D-G-D-G-B-D ), " open D " ( D-A-D-F-A-D ), or " drop D " ( D-A-D-G-B-E ).

A parody of Metastasian opera-seria it featured dazzling parodies of the high flown and emotive aria's found in that genre, as well as bold and innovative orchestrations, including the first known use of three tympani.

Broadcasters using analog television systems encode their signal using NTSC, PAL or SECAM analog encoding and then use RF modulation to modulate this signal onto a Very high frequency ( VHF ) or Ultra high frequency ( UHF ) carrier.

These spectrometers use a compact double monochromator with a prism pre-monochromator and an echelle grating monochromator for high resolution.

Similarly, the use of excessively high doses ( often the result of polypharmacy ) continues despite clinical guidelines and evidence indicating that it is usually no more effective but is usually more harmful.

These types of display screens use lower voltages than older CRT displays.

The cell potential can be predicted through the use of electrode potentials ( the voltages of each half-cell ).

While Germany and most of contiguous Europe use standard gauge ( 1435 mm ), differences in signalling, rules and regulations, electrification voltages, etc.

The advantage of this design is that insulator strings with different breakdown voltages, for use with different line voltages, can be constructed by using different numbers of the basic units.

Compared with RS-232, USB is faster, uses lower voltages, and has connectors that are simpler to connect and use.

Suitable electronic circuits can switch such large voltages within a few nanoseconds, allowing the use of EOMs as fast optical switches.

High voltage DC ( 380 V ) is finding use in some data center applications, and allows for small power conductors, but is subject to the more complex electrical code rules for safe containment of high voltages.

Through the use of a DC-DC converter, high DC voltages such as 48V to 72V DC can be stepped down to 36V, 24V, 18V, 12V or 5V to supply different loads.

More recently, wider beam versions are available designed for direct use on supply voltages of 120 or.

Whereas Nixies typically require 180 volts to illuminate, VFDs only require relatively low voltages to operate, making them easier and cheaper to use.

ESD prevention within an EPA may include using appropriate ESD-safe packing material, the use of conductive filaments on garments worn by assembly workers, conducting wrist straps and foot-straps to prevent high voltages from accumulating on workers ' bodies, anti-static mats or conductive flooring materials to conduct harmful electric charges away from the work area, and humidity control.

Some city and suburban distribution systems continue to use this range of voltages, but most have been converted to 7200 / 12470Y, 7620 / 13200Y, 14400 / 24940Y, and 19920 / 34500Y.

Rural electrification systems, in contrast to urban systems, tend to use higher voltages because of the longer distances covered by those distribution lines ( see Rural Electrification Administration ).

It uses high voltages, which in turn permit use of galvanized steel wire.

* There are also fanless DC to DC power supplies that operate like those in laptops, using an external power brick to supply DC power, which is then converted to appropriate voltages and regulated for use by the computer.

The markers frequently are strings of light-emitting diodes ( LEDs ) because LEDs are durable, have low power consumption and use low voltages that are not subject to electrical codes.

This enables the laser lighting designer to create patterns such as Lissajous figures ( such as are often displayed on oscilloscopes ); other methods of creating images through the use of galvanometer scanners and X-Y control voltages can generate letters, shapes, and even complicated and intricate images.

* Situations where high voltages are in use, but ozone production is to be minimised

High voltages ( tens of thousands of volts ) are used because this allows the use of low currents ; transmission losses are proportional to the square of the current ( e. g. twice the current means four times the loss ).

The use of high voltages in electric power transmission systems is specifically designed to reduce such losses in cabling by operating with commensurately lower currents.

The ExpressCard standard specifies voltages of either 1. 5 V or 3. 3 V ; CardBus slots can use 3. 3 V or 5. 0 V. The ExpressCard FAQ claims lower cost, better scalability, and better integration with motherboard chipset technology than Cardbus.

Electronics is the study and use of electrical devices that operate at relatively low voltages by controlling the flow of electrons or other electrically charged particles in devices such as thermionic valves and semiconductors.

Data is stored by use of floating gate transistors which require special operating voltages to be applied to trap or release electric charge on an insulated control gate for storage sites.
