IndoorAtlas' location technology is partly inspired by evidence that animals use the Earth’s magnetic field

not only for orientation detection but also for true navigation (Boles et al. 2003, Wlitschko et al. 1972,

Maugh et al. 1982, Mouritsen et al. 2004, Mora et al. 2004). Some animals, such as spiny lobsters, are not

only able to detect the direction of the Earth's magnetic field they can even sense their true position relative to

their destination. This means these particular animals are able to derive positional information from local cues

that arise from the local anomalies of the Earth's magnetic field.

Modern buildings with reinforced concrete and steel structures have unique, spatially-varying ambient

magnetic fields that can be used for positioning, in much the same way (albeit on a much smaller spatial

scale) as animals use the Earth's magnetic field. In principle, a non-uniform ambient magnetic field

produces different magnetic observations, depending on the path taken through it.

In IndoorAtlas' location technology, anomalies

(fluctuations) of ambient magnetic fields are

utilized in indoor positioning. This has been

facilitated by modern smartphones and the rapid

development of sensor technology. The image

on the right shows an example of indoor

magnetic fields present in modern buildings

Answer from: Quest

absorption lines are where light has been absorbed by the atom thus you see a dip in the spectrum whereas.

emission spectra have spikes in the spectra due to atoms releasing photons at those wavelengths.

Answer from: Quest

"i have always loved contemporary art and made it a general goal to work within the field. after a few nonprofit internships at museums and galleries, i decided to try the for-profit art world and was offered a job as the ad assistant at the magazine. i much prefer the pace of the for-profit art community and have stayed with the company for three years, with a promotion to an account manager last spring."

i just did this and got a 100.

Let v1, v2, w be three linearly independent vectors in r 3 . that is, they do not all lie on the same plane. for each of the following (infinite) set of vectors, carefully sketch it in r 3 , and determine whether or not it is a vector space (i.e., a subspace of r 3 ). explain your reasoning

Clothing made of several thin layers of fabric with trapped air in between, often called ski clothing, is commonly used in cold climates because it is light, fashionable, and a very effective thermal insulator. so it is no surprise that such clothing has largely replaced thickand heavy old-fashioned coats. (a) consider a jacket made of five layers of 0.1-mm-thick synthetic fabric (k = 0.13 w/m·°c) with 1.5-mm-thick air space (k = 0.026 w/m·°c) between the layers. assuming the inner surface temperature of the jacket to be 28°c and the surface area to be 1.25 m2, determine the rate of heat loss through the jacket when the temperature of the outdoors is 0°c and the heat transfer coefficient at the outer surface is 25 w/m2·°c. (b) what would your response be if the jacket is made of a single layer of 0.5-mm-thick synthetic fabric? what should be the thickness of a wool fabric (k = 0.035 w/m·°c) if the person is to achieve the same level of thermal comfort wearing a thick wool coat instead of a five-layer ski jacket?
