people, and business isn’t only about figures, but also about personalities; it is thus important that communication between the people is clear because it’s difficult to sign a contract when people can’t work with each other for some reasons. “Effective communication is a key to successful business and personal relations”. In other words, effective communication is one of the main reasons why a business and personal relations can be successful. To what extend does this statement is relevant? How do

considered as the best solution to the problem of upgrading current congested access networks to ones capable of delivering future broadband integrated services such as triple-play and HDTV. These types of services require bandwidths and QoS that are currently not available with traditional xDSL copper-based systems. Optical conversion of networks has already been performed in backbone networks, WANs, MANs, and even some LANs successfully. Thus, revamping access networks would be the last step to the future

Horace Mann, From Report of the Massachusetts Board of Education 1. Horace Mann begins with this description to draw a parallel with the functioning of what was at the time the current economic system. Indeed, the reader will automatically see feudalism as an unfair and extreme system. By making this analogy, Horace Mann forces the reader to also view the major flaws of their own economic system. 2. Leon Botstein, Let Teenagers Try Adulthood 1. Botstein believes the current American high school

radiations of specific frequencies are absorbed depending on the type of bonds vibrations, which are characteristic of the chemical functions. This technique can therefore allow us to identify compounds by comparison of spectra with a data base. Theoretical part The energy of a radiation is given by: E = hν = hc/λ = hc , with the wavenumber defined by: =1/ λ [cm-1]. The infrared area goes from 4000 to 400 cm-1 and this corresponds approximately to the energy of vibrations in molecules. Vibrational modes
