In military affairs, the war effort refers to the harnessing of economic and human resources towards support of a military force. Depending on the militarization of the culture, the relative size of the armed forces and the society supporting them, the style of government, and the popular support for the military objectives, the war effort can range from a small industry to complete command of society. Although many societies were retroactively perceived to be engaged in a war effort, the concept was not generally used until th ...

CMOS Inverter The logical effort of an inverter is defined to be g = 1 by noting that the input capacitance of a minimum size inverter has an NMOS input capacitance of 1, while the PMOS input capacitance is two. Thus g = 3/3, and g = 1. Remember: electron mobility is greater than hole mobility. The parasitic of an inverter is p = 1. If γ = 2, and the inverter drives an equivalent inverter, then: d = ...

Advocates of peace all over the world continue with their avowed mission. They are working towards creating greater awareness of the need for promoting universal feelings of amity and compassion.

The annual Maramon Convention held recently in Kerala - which was first organised in 1896 by the Mar Thoma Syrian Church of Malabar, an ancient Christian community of India - is one such collective effort to bring out the spiritual essence of the Word of God.

The most important change was the creation of an elite new infantry unit the nizam-i jedid was set up with western uniforms, weapons, and training. This group offended the Janissaries, however. Once the elite forces the Janissaries had become a conservative elite using their military power to advance themselves commercially and politically. In 1806 the Janissaries, with support of the ulema and the provincial governors revolted against the Sultan and his new force and replaced him with Mustafa IV. In 1808 he was replaced ...

Delay is expressed in terms of a basic delay unit, τ = RC, the delay of an inverter driving an identical inverter with no parasitic capacitance. The absolute delay is then simply defined as the product of the delay of the gate, d, and τ: dabs = dτ The unit of delay is therefore measured relative to τ. In a typical 0.6 micrometre process τ is ...

During World War I, Eastman founded the Woman's Peace party and was president of the New York branch. Renamed the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom in 1921, it remains the oldest extant women's peace organization. Eastman also became executive director of the American Union against Militarism, which lobbied against America's entrance into the European war and more successfully against war with Mexico in 1916, sought to remove profiteering from arms manufacturing, and campaigned against conscription and imperial adventures.

The bushmeat trade is considered by some anti-globalization activists to be one of many ways in which globalization affects life on the planet. There is no way (other than by researching the corporations involved, or their countries of origin) to tell which lumber has been produced by reliance on ape meat, and which has not. The only path to eliminating the bushmeat trade might be industry-specific protocols like the Cocoa Protocol. Although some argue against Western interference with African culture, claiming that the West should take a va ...

Since 2004 the United States has moved against North Korea in an attempt to end the distribution of supernotes. It has investigated the Bank of China, Banco Delta Asia, and Seng Heng Bank.[8][9] The US eventually prohibited Americans from banking with Banco Delta Asia.[10][11]. It is threatening Noth Korea with sanctions, though it says those sanctions will be a separate issue from the nuclear one. Two sting operations, dubbed "Operation Smoking Dragon" and "Operation Royal Charm", United States agents arrested at least 87 peop ...

Starting on February 6, 1958, the Air Force 2700th Explosive Ordnance Disposal Squadron and 100 Navy personnel equipped with hand held sonar and galvanic drag and cable sweeps mounted a search. On April 16, 1958 the announcement was made that the search efforts had been unsuccessful. Based upon a hydrologic survey, the bomb is thought to lay buried under 5 to 15 feet (2 to 5 m) of silt at the bottom of Wassaw Sound. Recent recovery efforts have been spearheaded by retired Air Force Colonel Derek Duke. In 2004, Duke claimed to have fou ...

The lack of literate persons in 8th century western Europe caused problems for the Carolingian rulers by severely limiting the number of people capable of serving as court scribes. Of even greater concern to the very pious rulers was the fact that not all parish priests possessed the skill to read the Vulgate Bible. An additional problem was that the vulgar Latin of the later Western Roman Empire had begun to diverge into the regional dialects, the precursors to today's Romance languages, that were becoming mut ...

In late 2004, Southwest Airlines announced its opposition to the Wright Amendment. Shortly thereafter, the company began trying to garner public support for the repeal of the Wright Amendment by launching a massive public relations campaign. Print media, the internet, billboards, and TV spots were all used, directing the viewer or reader to visit the Set Love Free website, created by Southwest Airlines. In response, a group opposed to the repeal of the amendment, spearheaded by the DFW Airport Board and American Airlines, launched their own ...
