    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmetology

    Cosmetology (from Greek κοσμητικός, kosmētikos, "beautifying"; [1] and -λογία, -logia) is the study and application of beauty treatment.Branches of specialty include hairstyling, skin care, cosmetics, manicures/pedicures, non-permanent hair removal such as waxing and sugaring, and permanent hair removal processes such as electrology and intense pulsed light (IPL).

  3. Shannon–Weaver model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shannon–Weaver_model

    In the case of a landline phone call, the source is the person calling, the transmitter is their telephone, the channel is the wire, the receiver is another telephone and the destination is the person using the second telephone. [10] [2] [5] To apply this model accurately to real-life cases, some of the components may have to be repeated. For ...

  4. Models of communication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Models_of_communication

    The Shannon–Weaver model was initially formulated in analogy to how telephone calls work but is intended as a general model of all forms of communication. In the case of a landline phone call, the person calling is the source and their telephone is the transmitter translating the message into an electric signal. The wire acts as the channel.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telephony

    The earliest end-to-end analog telephone networks to be modified and upgraded to transmission networks with Digital Signal 1 (DS1/T1) carrier systems date back to the early 1960s. They were designed to support the basic 3 kHz voice channel by sampling the bandwidth-limited analog voice signal and encoding using pulse-code modulation (PCM).

  6. Queueing theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queueing_theory

    Queueing theory is the mathematical study of waiting lines, or queues. [1] A queueing model is constructed so that queue lengths and waiting time can be predicted. [ 1 ] Queueing theory is generally considered a branch of operations research because the results are often used when making business decisions about the resources needed to provide ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erlang_(unit)

    The CCITT named the international unit of telephone traffic the erlang in 1946 in honor of Agner Krarup Erlang. [3] [4] In Erlang's analysis of efficient telephone line usage he derived the formulae for two important cases, Erlang-B and Erlang-C, which became foundational results in teletraffic engineering and queueing theory. His results ...

  8. Teletraffic engineering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teletraffic_engineering

    Teletraffic engineering, or telecommunications traffic engineering is the application of transportation traffic engineering theory to telecommunications.Teletraffic engineers use their knowledge of statistics including queuing theory, the nature of traffic, their practical models, their measurements and simulations to make predictions and to plan telecommunication networks such as a telephone ...
