Postes, Télégraphes, Téléphones (Switzerland)
PTT (german: Post, Telefon und Telegraph, french: Postes, téléphones et télégraphes, it, Poste, telefoni e telegrafi) was the Swiss Postal Telegraph and Telephone agency, formed in 1928. In the course of the international trend towards liberalisation of the telecommunications market, it was transformed into two public service companies on January 1, 1998, Swiss Post and Swisscom. While Swiss Post remained a government agency with a partial service monopoly, Swisscom became a competitor on a liberalised telecommunications market and is an ''Aktiengesellschaft'' of which the Confederation holds a majority of shares. The historical documents concerning the organization and the management of the Directorate General of Posts, the District Postal Services as well as the individual post offices are accessible at the PTT Archive.

Partial Thromboplastin Time
The partial thromboplastin time (PTT), also known as the activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT or APTT), is a blood test that characterizes coagulation of the blood. A historical name for this measure is the kaolin-cephalin clotting time (KCCT), reflecting kaolinite, kaolin and phosphatidylethanolamine, cephalin as materials historically used in the test. Apart from detecting abnormalities in blood clotting, partial thromboplastin time is also used to monitor the treatment effect of heparin, a widely prescribed Anticoagulant, drug that reduces blood's tendency to clot. The PTT measures the overall speed at which blood clots form by means of two consecutive series of biochemical reactions known as the Coagulation#Intrinsic pathway, ''intrinsic'' pathway and Coagulation#Common pathway, common pathway of coagulation. The PTT indirectly measures action of the following coagulation factors: fibrinogen, I (fibrinogen), thrombin, II (prothrombin), Factor V, V (proaccelerin), Facto ...

Intel Management Engine
The Intel Management Engine (ME), also known as the Intel Manageability Engine, is an autonomous subsystem that has been incorporated in virtually all of Intel's processor chipsets since 2008. It is located in the Platform Controller Hub of modern Intel motherboards. The Intel Management Engine always runs as long as the motherboard is receiving power, even when the computer is turned off. This issue can be mitigated with deployment of a hardware device, which is able to disconnect mains power. Intel's main competitor AMD has incorporated the equivalent AMD Secure Technology (formally called Platform Security Processor) in virtually all of its post-2013 CPUs. Difference from Intel AMT The Management Engine is often confused with Intel AMT (Intel Active Management Technology). AMT runs on the ME, but is only available on processors with vPro. AMT gives device owners remote administration of their computer, such as powering it on or off, and reinstalling the operating system. ...

Power Transition Theory
Power transition theory is a theory about the nature of war, in relation to the power in international relations. The theory was first published in 1958 by its creator, A.F.K. Organski, in his textbook, ''World Politics'' (1958). Overview According to Organski: An even distribution of political, economic, and military capabilities between contending groups of states is likely to increase the probability of war; peace is preserved best when there is an imbalance of national capabilities between disadvantaged and advantaged nations; the aggressor will come from a small group of dissatisfied strong countries; and it is the weaker, rather than the stronger power that is most likely to be the aggressor. Hierarchy While Organski's hierarchy initially referred only to the entire international system, Douglas Lemke later expanded the hierarchy model to include regional hierarchies, arguing that each region contains its own dominant, great, and small powers. Thus regional hierarchies exis ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Port Talbot Town F
A port is a maritime facility comprising one or more wharves or loading areas, where ships load and discharge cargo and passengers. Although usually situated on a sea coast or estuary, ports can also be found far inland, such as Hamburg, Manchester and Duluth; these access the sea via rivers or canals. Because of their roles as ports of entry for immigrants as well as soldiers in wartime, many port cities have experienced dramatic multi-ethnic and multicultural changes throughout their histories. Ports are extremely important to the global economy; 70% of global merchandise trade by value passes through a port. For this reason, ports are also often densely populated settlements that provide the labor for processing and handling goods and related services for the ports. Today by far the greatest growth in port development is in Asia, the continent with some of the world's largest and busiest ports, such as Singapore and the Chinese ports of Shanghai and Ningbo-Zhou ...

Prince's Trust Team
The Prince's Trust ( cy, Ymddiriedolaeth y Tywysog) is a charity in the United Kingdom founded in 1976 by King Charles III (then Prince of Wales) to help vulnerable young people get their lives on track. It supports 11-to-30-year-olds who are unemployed or struggling at school and at risk of exclusion. Many of the young people helped by the trust face issues such as homelessness, mental health problems, or trouble with the law. It runs a range of training programmes, providing practical and financial support to build young people's confidence and motivation. Each year they work with about 60,000 young people, with three in four moving on to employment, education, volunteering, or training. In 1999, the numerous trust charities were brought together as the Prince's Trust and acknowledged by Queen Elizabeth II at a ceremony in Buckingham Palace where she granted it a royal charter. The following year it devolved in Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland, and other English regions but ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Police Tactical Team
The Special Tactics and Rescue (STAR) is an elite tactical unit of the Singapore Police Force responsible for conducting counter-terrorism and hostage rescue operations in Singapore. History Founded in March 1978 as the Police Tactical Team, it was a part-time outfit mainly used to contain civil disorder. During its infant days, the Police Tactical Team was a motley crew of volunteer officers from the Police Task Force, who served even on their days off for a monthly allowance of S$50. The Police Tactical Team, although drawing expertise from the Police Task Force, were still limited in their operational readiness, skills, and capability. The hijacking of Singapore Airlines Flight 117 and the subsequent successful recovery by the Commandos from the Singapore Armed Forces' Special Operations Force in 1991 highlighted the need to provide the Singapore Police Force with a dedicated armed response team. With expertise assistance of the Hong Kong Police Force's Special Duties Unit ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Pennsylvania Tunnel And Terminal Railroad
The New York Tunnel Extension (also New York Improvement and Tunnel Extension) is a combination of railroad tunnels and approaches from New Jersey and Long Island to Pennsylvania Station in Midtown Manhattan. It was built by Pennsylvania Railroad (PRR) at the beginning of the 20th century to improve railroad access throughout the greater New York City area, and lead to the line’s then new passenger facility, Pennsylvania Station (1910–1963). Planning The PRR had consolidated its control of railroads in New Jersey with the lease of United New Jersey Railroad and Canal Company in 1871, thereby extending its rail network from Philadelphia northward to Jersey City. Crossing the Hudson River, however, remained a major obstacle. To the east, the Long Island Rail Road (LIRR) ended at the East River. In both situations, passengers had to transfer to ferries to Manhattan. This put the PRR at a disadvantage relative to its closest competitor, the New York Central Railroad, which ...
