Railways in Colonial India: An Economic Achievement? Dan Bogart* Latika Chaudhary† May 2012 1 Introduction Railways were the most important infrastructure development in India from 1850 to 1947. They were inter-connected with all aspects of Indian society. In terms of the economy‚ railways played a major role in integrating markets and increasing trade. Domestic and international economic trends shaped the pace of railway construction and the demand

Problems 1) In a strain gauge bridge‚ what does (a) a negative reading on the zero centered meters imply? (b) a positive reading on the zero centered meters imply? - A negative reading on the zero centered meter implies that the strain gauge is under compression. Whereas‚ a positive reading implies that the strain gauge is under tensile / tension. 2) Beside strain gauge transducers‚ what other transducers can be used in a bridge circuit? - Besides strain gauge transducers‚ many materials

Will Light Rail be Enough? August 25‚ 2009 Will Light Rail Be Enough? With traffic congestion what it is today‚ many cities are looking for solutions to remove single-occupancy vehicles from the roadways and still get people where they need to go. Seattle‚ Washington is no different. According to Sound Transit’s website‚ Light Rail was approved via voters and meant to provide transportation to a minimum of 75‚000 passengers daily in King County‚ run 24 hours a day‚ and remove traffic congestion

The smallest rail in North America‚ the Black Rail is perhaps the most secretive too "Kick-ee-doo" call is heard primarily at night.The black rail may be the most endangered bird species along the Atlantic and Gulf Coasts of North America.Today I am going to tell you about an animal called the Black Rail the scientific name is Laterallus jamaicensis. Over the past 10-20 years‚ some reports indicate that populations have declined 75% or greater and have become dangerously low.The bird also lays
