Sonar

versa (Hildebrand, 2004). Anthropologic noise pollution can come from many different sources, some of the more common ones are commercial shipping, acoustic deterrent devices, military sonar, and explosives (used in some seismic surveys for oil and gas as well as military exercises). The main focus will be on military sonar use, seismic surveys, and acoustic deterrent

Once I found him I got into the boat and we were headed to the area were the creature was last sighted. Which was a cove with a heavily wooded shore line. When we arrived we checked the sonar to see if it was here. The sonar showed something very large about about a hundred yards away from our boat. We decided to use one of the remote controlled devices that had a video camera so we could see under the water. While we were controlling the little device

In Thomas Nagel’s What is it Like to Be a Bat paper, the author attempts to refute reductionist theories addressing the mind-body problem. Nagel states that consciousness is what makes the mind-body problem unique, but most reductionist discussions do not even try to explain it. Nagel starts his argument by saying that conscious experience occurs in many forms of life, and “an organism has a conscious mental state if and only if there is something that is like to be that organism – something it

we rarely see how important this nifty invention is until we are without it. 1941, while working for the Raytheon Company, Percy Spencer discovered a more efficient way to manufacture magnetrons. This discovery led to significant advances in radar sonar, navigation, communication and undoubtedly his most popular invention, the microwave oven. Experiments showed that microwave heating could raise the internal temperature of many foods far more rapidly than a conventional oven. In 1954 the first Raytheon

Five different ways organisms make sounds would be by sonar (echolocation), drumming, clicking, beating, and singing. First, bats use sonar, also known as echolocation, to help them navigate through their surroundings and catch food. A sound wave is produced from the bat and returns as an echo. A bat’s sonar helps them comprehend the size, location, and the direction the object is moving in by listening to the echoes that return. Second, termites, as well as many other animals and insects, use drumming

underwater explosions caused by sonar, seismic testing caused by oil and gas industries, or underwater sea quakes through natural events. The anthropogenic noises can cause deep-diving populations like beaked whales to be threatened and abandon their habitat and surface rapidly. Exposure to anthropogenic sounds negatively affect deep-diving cetaceans (Cox et al. 2006). There are a number of hypotheses for the injuries in the cetaceans that stranded in areas of sonar exercises like decompression sickness

although it was not created to specifically detect U-boats, it became a technological weapon that the allies could use for their benefit. Additionally, Sonar (Sound Navigation and Ranging) was built specifically to counteract the threat of underwater enemies such as the U-boats. Sonar uses sound waves to detect distant objects. Similar to radar, the use of sonar allowed the British surface fleet to detect the direction and depth of these submarines and destroy many of them. What makes these two technologies

Most people know that shrimp are a popular food, but they are so much more than that (Gazzalo S-Sn, 439). Shrimp have a unique diversity and anatomy that is not often appreciated. Shrimp are found in most places where there is water. They are able to live in both fresh and salt water (Gazzalo S-Sn, 439). Even though shrimp can survive in both types of water, when most people hear ‘shrimp’ they think ‘ocean’. Shrimp are capable of many different behaviors as well. For instance, some shrimp are cannibalistic

sound waves. A mechanical engineer named Rolf Mueller, professor at Virginia Tech University in Blacksburg, Virginia. “Bats emit chirps--some through their mouths and others through their noses-- as many as 200 times per second. A device called a sonar, which submarines use, operates on the same principles

("Hackers" Internet). One of the most important uses a computer can have is for air navigation, be it airplanes. Some of the other uses consisted of, "weather studies, trajectories, night time maneuvers, navigation of ships and planes, radar, and sonar" ("History" Internet). They were used in mission control tower so as the planes knew where to land, they told the exact path that would be nessicary to take for a safe and fast flight. They told how many planes were in the air so as there would not
