GPS tracking systems?

State of the art GPS collars for wildlife tracking, wildlife monitoring systems

GPS collars for large birds, elephants or dogs? You are looking for remote data download while the GPS collars are still on the animals? We offer you GPS location data transmission directly from the GPS GSM collars to your office/laptop via mobile phone system, satellite phone system or via two-way communication in the field. Smart GPS tracking wildlife!

GPS tracking means to trace something or someone with the Global Positioning System . The following sites show general information on GPS tracking, mobile/cell phone and satellite communication systems. Nowadays the combination of the three systems enables real time GPS tracking of objects like cars, vessels, or even wildlife and persons.

Radioactivity - a brief insight. Definition & Introduction term Radioactivity

Radioactivity is the commonly used expression referring to the scientifically more correct term of radioactive decay.

It describes ionising particles or radiation emitted from instable nuclei, whether it is a naturally emitting radioactive element like uranium or a radioactive isotope of a commonly stabile element. In fact there are found radioactive isotypes for every element: For instance contains water of a 10 to the power of minus 15 percent part of the radioactive hydrogen isotope tritium. Still, due to this very little percentage, water is not dangerous at all:

Radioactivity is actually used for medical purposes, following the principle of the right dosis for the right purpose. In fact, radioactivity is found everywhere as a form of natural background radiation, which actually plays a role in evolution: Due to a slight background radiation, there is cellular reformation occuring everywhere, all the time, leading to new forms of individuals – only a high overdosis will lead to harmful cellular overreaction like e. g. cancer.

The most common types of radiation are alpha, beta, and gamma decay, but there are several other varieties of radioactivity. The so-called alpha ray emission is in fact big helium particles emitted in hydrogen fusion. The most popular example is sun, a constant and massive hydrogen fusion, emitting a massive energy output. Alpha decay is about 7000 times bigger than beta decay, which occurs in form of negative or positive ionised radiation: Beta radiation is the result of either a neutron changing to a proton, which leads to the emission of a beta particle with the same mass and charge as an electron, and a number of neutrinos (negative ionised beta radiation), or the change of a proton to a neutron, leading to emission of a positron and a neutrino (positive ionised beta radiation).

During this process, the third commonly known radiation type, gamma ray, is emitted: The positron interacts with an electron, causing the neutralization of both, and two gamma ray photons with the energy equal to the mass of the positron and electron are emitted.
