Advantages and Disadvantages of Magnetic, Optical, and Solid State Storage Devices

Magnetic storage is the oldest storage technology and is used in hard disks that are the primary storage device in most computers. The storage devices store data by assigning a magnetic charge to metal that is then processed and converted into ones and zeros by a read head (Burd, 2010). Magnetic storage devices have the advantages of having very large storage capacities, and very fast access to data because they allow direct random access to any part of the device. However, the devices have slow transfer rates, especially when writing. Durability is also an issue with the devices as ...

Abstract

In this paper, we will discuss and describe the application of mathematics in architecture. Starting from the explanation of the meaning of architecture, we will consider the relationship between architecture and mathematics since ancient times. One of the most significant contribution of mathematics in architecture is strengthening the building constructions. This property can be traced in many ancient structures (for example, the Parthenon, the Colosseum, Stonehenge). The evolution of the types of construction design was tightly related to mathematics. In our research, we will discuss various designs, such as pyramidal, post-and-lintel and carcass construction systems. Special attention will be ...

Abstract

Permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSM) are a type of motors that have permanent magnets mounted on the rotors instead of the rotor windings. This particular design gives the motor a few advantages over ordinary induction synchronous motors. The magnets attached to the rotor do not require excitation, which reduces the power consumption in PMSM. This gives the motor high operational efficiency and reduces the motor active diameter. PMSM are therefore associated with applications that require high torque but have limited operation space. The permanent magnets suffer from flux leakage and are therefore aligned in a pattern that minimizes flux ...
