What is the UPS's package tracking systmem?
Take (as an example) a package being sent from america to the UK. Every package has a unique bar-code and tracking number. This information is held on the company's computer system. The package is scanned when... 1. The parcel is handed from the sender to the courier.. (Bar-code scanned to record receipt and now is in the tracking and delivery system). 2. It's delivered to the depot...(Scanned for its sector delivery destination i.e UK) 3. It's transferred to a truck destined fro the airport... 4. It's loaded onto the aircraft. bound for the UK (scanned on to make sure it marries with set to airport received at airport check).. 5. It's unloaded in the UK... (scanned again for its Unique destination - UK Postcode) 6. It's taken to a local distribution centre...scanned to record receipt) 7. It's taken to a local delivery office..(scanned for receipt and final destination out load) 8. It's taken to and accepted by the recipient (bar code scanned in as arrived/received). Each vehicle the parcel travels on is tracked by the GPS satellite system - that way, the company knows exactly where the vehicle (and thus the parcel) is.
What is the different between integrated information system and distributed information system?
Integrated:from its name it means one.this means the main system and its resources are centralized.Distributed:the main systmem is centralized while its resources are distributed.this saves bandwidth.
What is the relationship between increased blood carbon dioxide respiratory rate and depth?
CO2 is the primary cvontrol for rate of breathing (not oxygen as many would expect). High levels of CO2 are very toxid to the tissues of the body and os it was allowed to remain in the blood most of these tissues would die off. And so sensors within the blood systmem detect the CO2 levels and stimulate faster deeper breathing if thesae elvels are to high for safety.
