Applications and Impacts in Mobile Technology.
Some of the significant applications are −
• It will make unified global standard for all.
• Network availability will be everywhere and will facilitate people to use their computer and such kind of mobile devices anywhere anytime.
• Because of the IPv6 technology, visiting care of mobile IP address will be assigned as per the connected network and geographical position.
• Its application will make world real Wi-Fi zone.
• Its cognitive radio technology will facilitate different version of radio technologies to share the same spectrum efficiently.
• Its application will facilitate people to avail radio signal at higher altitude as well.
The impact of mobile technology is became as, One of the priority tasks of the Literary High Street project is to allow users access the website primarily with mobile devices such as tablets and smart-phones. According to the International Telecommunication Union (ITU)’s “The World in 2010” report, 90% of the world population has access to
The increased demand for radio spectrum has resulted from the evolution of feature-rich and high-data-rate wireless applications. The spectrum is limited, and the current radio spectrum regulations make its use less productive. This has necessitated the development of dynamic spectrum allocation policies to make the utilization of the existing spectrum in a better way. As per the current spectrum allocation regulations, specific bands are assigned to particular services and only licensed users are granted access to licensed bands. Cognitive radio (CR) is expected to modernize the way spectrum is allocated. In a CR network, the cognitive radio part allows the unlicensed users (secondary users) to access spectrum bands allocated to the licensed
The use of mobile devices has become so commonplace today that you can hardly step out your front door without them. We have become tethered to technology. Our dependence upon this technology is not the problem, how and where we choose to use it is.

The efficient delivery of drugs and energy to tumors faces several difficulties and obstacles that need to be overcome for effective cancer treatment. Nanoparticles administrated through intravenous injections accumulate at a tumor site due to the enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect, but only a small quantity of the injected particles can actually “reach the tumor” (Su et al, 2016). The majority of the nanoparticles interact with “cancer cells at the periphery of a tumor” which presents a “physiological barrier” that prevents most of the injected particles from reaching the tumor (Su et al, 2016). In addition to this barrier, there is also another significant obstacle, “cancer-associated fibroblasts”, which can also
Today, nanotechnology research and development is quite wide spread, although not high profile yet. Numerous universities, such as Univ. of Washington and Northwestern Univ., have established centers and institutes to study nanotechnology, and the U.S. government has created an organization, the National Nanotechnology Initiative (NNI), to monitor and guide research and development in this field. In fact, as noted in an April 2001 Computerworld article, the Bush administration increased funding to nanoscale science research by 16% through its National Science Foundation (NSF) budget increase. DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) and the NSF are currently the two largest sources of funding for nanotechnology research and have an enormous influence on the direction of scientific research done in the United States. With so many resources dedicated to its development, nanotechnology will surely have an impact within our lifetime, so it is
Abstract—According to Moore’s Law, the number of transistors per square inch on integrated circuit will double every year. So far it is possible, but due to difficulties like power consumption its pace get slow down. To let the Moore’s law, we need a new logical step: that is, to use microelectronics in nanotechnology or Nano Computers. Currently, Nanotechnology is a huge area for study and research. Its wide scope makes it a good topic for research. It is included in several fields like physics, engineering, chemistry, biology and computer science. The main moto of this paper is to give brief about Nano Computer and its architecture.
Being a librarian and one who has always “had a fascination with gadgets” (Hanson, 2011), and a passion for both information and technology, Hanson states he has been working for five years to find a better way to join technology and information. He notes “libraries and librarians have perceived themselves as subject to near-constant technological upheaval and information revolution, largely due to the rise of microcomputing, desktop computing and Internet connectivity.” (Hanson, 2011) He believes libraries are situated in a place to encourage libraries to provide mobile library services. With nearly all Americans owning cell phones, accessing the internet via their cell phones and tablets and major service providers focusing on mobile applications instead of applications for the PC, Hanson suggests it is time for libraries to also focus their efforts on providing mobile services.
Did you know that about 1,688,780 new types of cancer have been found in the United States, killing more than 600,920 people? Cancer has been known as the second leading cause of death in the United States just after Chronic Heart Disease. Fortunately, researchers have found a way to prevent and cure cancer and that is by using Nanotechnology. Nanotechnology is a branch in the science field that deals with dimensions less than 100 nanometers, which is about a billionth of a meter. Furthermore, scientists predict that Nanotechnology can lead to a breakthrough in the medical field of Oncology. Not only that, but researchers have now found a way to “tune” the nanoparticles so that the
According to Moore Law, the number of transistors on electric devices doubles every two years. Transistors need to be designed smaller and smaller to keep the devices in the same size. However, the size of traditional silicon transistors cannot be reduced infinitely. Today, nanotechnology has become a hopeful way to overcome this problem, which is to build nano-scale transistors to satisfy Moore Law. [1]
Said physicist Richard P. Feynman in his visionary talk to the American Physical Society, when he envisioned the fabrication of micro- and nano devices and declared that one day the entire Encyclopaedia Britannica could be written on the head of a pin. Feynman’s vision has finally begun to manifest, thanks to ever more sophisticated microelectronics. Micro and nano scale machines are ushering a multibillion-dollar market as they are being incorporated in virtually every electronic devices.

Nanotechnology is the development of atoms in a certain object. Nanotechnology has become very popular in the past few years. It is a way to rebuild the systems of life. To make systems move faster than ever before. Nanometer is about 10 times the size of an atom. Each of these has a huge effect on a system. Still there are questions out there that keep people wondering how important nanotechnology is to us. Many wonder how will it affect them and if we should continue this research. I myself wondered about nanotechnology. After researching this topic I have learned new and interesting facts to help me understand the entire concept.
Research from the University of Delaware have demonstrated an increase in energy density for capacitors with the use of carbon Nano tubing. Also researchers from North Carolina University have demonstrated that silicon coated carbon Nano tubing in anodes for Li-ion batteries. They are predicting that the use of silicon can increases the capacity of Li-ion batteries by up to ten times.
The decline is a symptom of a cultural decay. Less and less college graduates are leaving with engineering degrees, and in 2006 more people have received sports- exercise degrees than electrical- engineering degrees; because of the decrease of students with engineering degrees, America is losing it’s place as the world’s science leader, according to the National Academy of Sciences report. The report also stated China has graduated 600,000 engineers, India 350,000, and America only 70,000. The United States has no hope if for every 1 qualified engineer there are 11 Chinese or
Another of the technical setbacks which current nanotechnology is facing is the low efficiency of the energy storage of current devices, and its main causes are technical inconveniences and the relatively high cost of new technology. For example, Huang, X., Han, S., Huang, W., and Liu, X. (2013) indicate that the reason why current solar cells are not highly efficient is a mismatch in wavelengths of the peak of high energy emission of sunlight and the peak of high efficiency of these devices. Therefore, energy efficiency has become a new source of nanotechnology (Gauthier & Genet, 2014, p. 576). Supercapacitors and many of the electrodes are made of carbon-based materials (Liu et
