Comparison and/or Contrast

Compare or contrast means to determine the similarities or differences between two or more elements, people, ideas. This is a common technique by the author of a text in order to present alternatives when choosing something.

Example:  

Electronic Engineering vs Electrical Engineering

Normally engineers of electrical and electronic argue about which of his specialties is better or more complete on the one hand we have the electronic engineering is a branch of engineering that uses electricity, in particular the electronics to solve problems such as control industrial processes, processing power for the operation of various devices and has application in various industries, in turn the electrical engineer is the field of engineering that deals with the study and application of electricity, electronics and electromagnetism. Apply knowledge of sciences such as physics and mathematics to generate, transport, distribute and use electrical energy.  

Eng. electronic was born as a need to manage devices and small circuits that were needed in electrical engineering, for this reason between the computer and electrical engineer born ing. electronics.  

Have the management and study similarities of the laws of electricity and electric circuits: Ohm's law, Kirchoff, electromagnetism and electromagnetic fields, to mention just some of the areas that share the electrical and electronic equipment.
These are some of the materials listed in the curriculum of the Eng. and Electrical Eng. Electronics: 


*Calculus and physics  

*Electric Circuits  
*Fields and Electromagnetic Theory 
 *Electronic digital analog power  

Moreover a ing. specializes in electrical generation, transmission, distribution and marketing of electricity. Make and build devices and machines that use electricity or processed. They specialize in handling large power systems, electrical substations, power plants, among others.
A ing. Electronic design, build and manipulate electronic devices in different areas, handle integrated circuits, but handle playing with the ing. Power established.

Cause & Effect

Cause and Effect refers to a relationship of dependence that keep certain events. The reason why an event occurs is called "cause" while the return results of this action is called "effect ". Sometimes a cause can have several effects or an effect may have several causes.

Some indicators of cause and effect are: Due to, as result of, Causing, so, Malthus, among others.

Example: 

 Adrenaline Excretion
Adrenaline also called epinephrine is a monoamine catecholamine, sympathomimetic derived from the amino acids phenylalanine and tyrosine and is considered a hormone. In May 1886, William Bates reported the discovery of the substance produced by the adrenal gland in the New York Medical Journal. However, it was identified in 1895 by Napoleon Cybulski, a Polish physiologist. The finding was repeated in 1897 by John Jacob Abel. Jokichi Takamine, a Japanese chemist, discovered the same hormone in 1900, without knowledge of previous discoveries. It was first artificially synthesized in 1904 by Friedrich Stolz.

This hormone is secreted by the medulla of the adrenal glands found at the top of the kidneys, its action is mediated by adrenergic receptors, both type α and β, in addition to acetylcholine released from preganglionic neurons innervating cells secretory release of this important hormone is the response or effect of stress, anxiety, nervousness or alert situations, in turn causing increased blood glucose concentration, increased blood pressure and heart rate, dilation pupil and brain activity; a
ctivities that are relevant to the autonomic nervous system.

Process

The process refers to an order in the steps of an activity, experiment, among others, rather than a chronological order the hosts to process the sequence should be that activity to obtain a desired result.Usually the process is accompanied by images that guide the reader in the early stages.

Example:  

  How doget the oil ?

Oil is formed by deposition of organic material over millions of years hence is under ground to reach the following stages are crossed that follow:

* Exploratory Phase: through surface geology and subsurface study determines whether an area is possessing or not possessing hydrocarbon reserves. The only way to really know if there is no oil or drilling a well, which can have up to 16000 feet deep. The first exploratory well made ​​are called. This phase is the biggest investment involved, it is not known for sure will have a return on investment.

Stage Production: once determined that the area is economically attractive, it starts a massive drilling to drain all recoverable reserves of the deposit.

* Transportation: the oil must be transported from wells to collection and storage centers for processing (removal of water and contaminants). This requires large investments in infrastructure area.

* Marketing and Refining: A portion of the oil is sold to consumer countries unprocessed (raw) or refined. The refining process involves subjecting the crude to certain processes to obtain products such as gasoline, kerosene, naphtha, ect

Classification

Sort is dividing or order by classes or categories based on one criterion or multiple criteria for classifying and going from general to specific or vice versa.

Example: 
Blood Groups
 
Blood groups are defined by the presence of antigenic components in the cell membrane of red blood cell antigens or agglutinogen the term refers to the determination is carried out with specific antibodies.

ABO System

The most important of the various systems of classification of blood based classification system ABO blood group. The four blood types covered in this classification are the A, B, AB and O. The blood cells of group A have the A antigen on the membrane, type B contains antigen B on their red blood cells, red blood cells contain antigens AB group A and group O BY lacks these antigens in erythrocytes.
Blood plasma may or may not contain antibodies or agglutinins which react with antigens A or B erythrocytes can never have antibodies against antigens in their red blood cells, as this would cause the destruction of these, however, the plasma contains antibodies against antigen A or B if they are present in the membrane of red blood cells and plasma in group A there are no anti-A antibodies, but anti-B blood group B contains antibodies to the antigen present in the red blood cells of group A, group O contains anti-A and anti-O, while the AB blood group does NOT contain any antibody.
 RH System 
 
Consists in the existence of various agglutinogens (Rh) in red blood cells.
The term means that Rh positive Rh antigen is present in erythrocytes, however if none of this is said to be Rh negative, there are 6 types of Rh C, D, E, c, d, e, but only types C, D and E antigens are strong enough, to cause a reaction of Rh antibody, thus a person that contains these antigens to the combination of these will be Rh positive and you only have the antigens c, d and e are Rh negative.

Definition

One definition deals to expose with clarity and accurately the characteristics of something specific.

We can identify a definition by words or signs such as: (,) (:), "that is" or ie. A definition also answers questions like "What is_? "What does_mean?" among others.

We can find three types of definition:
  • Short Definition 
  • Half Definition (Concept,class,characteristics)
  • Long Definition (Detailed) Includes examples, negation, analogy, etc. 
 Example:

Hydroelectric Plants

A hydroelectric plant is one that which converts potential energy (related to height) and kinetic (associated with motion) into electrical energy. They result in the evolution of the old mills that took advantage of the rivers current to move a wheel.

These take advantage of the falling water from a dam to carry turbines found on the basis of this and act as mills, are connected to a generator, thereby receiving power of water they start to spin and produce electricity. Electricity travels from generators to transformers where the voltage rises to transport electricity to consumption centers.

The main parts of a hydroelectric plant are: dam, turbines and generators. Other parties also important are the pipes that carry water from the dam to the turbines.

Hydroelectric plants do not tend to be concentrated in any specific area of the world, because they are widely dispersed all over the place.
