Improving Global System Development and Collaboration across Functions: Experiences from Industry

Observing the latest trends of a rise in interest in the development of power distribution in a world-system created and dominated by states but increasingly challenged as such, this paper takes a deeper look at the historical evolution of this system, its current transformation, and likely future development. After a brief discussion of prevalent concepts of world(-)system development and its socio-political control, this work offers an evolutionary perspective to place current changes of power and its distribution in the dynamic long-term development of global system formation. It then presents alternative visions of the future development of political and economic hegemony. It concludes that a further rise in instability of global political power distribution accompanied by a likely challenge to existing distributional patterns has a high probability of occurrence.

Remote Monitoring System

Using the broad coverage of Global System for Mobile communications GSM (Global System for Mobile Communication) wireless network, monitoring remote target is one of research hot spots of remote control. The fact of applying the wireless communication technology, embedded processing techniques to remote monitoring system to realize the complete solution of the wireless remote monitoring system has strong industry value and research significance.This article offers a kind of monitoring system based on GSM. With wheeled mobile robots as an experimental platform, once robot detect water, fire, gas leakage or illegal invasion through the sensor, it will report to the householder through the short message in order to take emergency measures. Take GSM network as the communication channels , because it has a series of advantages such as fastness, reliability, low cost, less maintenance costs ,etc

Thick Medium

TEM characterization and microanalysis of the recording media is crucial and complementary to new material system development as well as quality control applications. Due to the type of material generally used for supporting the medium, i.e., a polymer, conventional macro- and microthinning procedures for thin foil preparation are not applicable. Ultramicrotorny (UM) is a viable option and has been employed in previous similar studies. In this work UM has been used for preparation of XTEM samples from a magneto-optical (MO) recording medium in its original production format.The as-received material system consisted of a 4-layer, 2100 Å thick medium including a 300 Å TbFeCo layer enveloped by silicon nitride protective layers supported on a 1.2 mm thick × 135 mm (5.25 in.) diameter polycarbonate disk. Recording tracks had an approximate pitch of 1.6 μm separated by 800 Å deep peripheral grooves. Using a Buehler Isomet low-speed diamond saw, 1 mm wide and 20 mm long strips were cut out of the disk along the recording tracks.
