Trans-Atlantic

In 1919, he made history with yet another of his inventions when his multiple-tuned antenna, antistatic receiver, and magnetic amplifier were used to transmit the first two-way radio conversation. This great event took place 900 miles out to sea, between the Trans-Atlantic Marconi Company station at New Brunswick and the steamship George Washington, with President Woodrow Wilson on board as a witness. 

Polymers containing each of these configurations are known, the most common being the cis- A and the 1,4-isomers. The first of these, poly(c/ -l,4-isoprene), is the macromolecular constituent of natural rubber the second is the material known as gutta percha. The latter, unlike natural rubber, has no elastomeric properties, but has a leathery texture. It has been used for diverse applications such as golf-ball covers and as an insulating material for the trans-Atlantic cables of the late nineteenth century. 

Trans-Atlantic Consumer Dialogue. This is a forum of U.S. and EU consumer organizations that jointly develops policy recommendations to promote the consumer interest in EU and U.S. policy making. 

Trans-Atlantic Business Dialogue. The aim of the Trans-Atlantic Business Dialogue is to boost transatlantic trade and investment opportunities between the United States, and the EU by removing excessive regulation, duplication, and differences in the EU and U.S. regulatory systems and procedures. 

Like a sailboat, an experimental design has many characteristics whose relative importance differs in different circumstances. In choosing a sailboat, the relative importance of the characteristics such as size, speed, sea-worthiness, and comfort will depend greatly on whether we plan to sail on the local pond, undertake a trans-Atlantic voyage, or complete America s Cup contest [1],... 

Her doctors were opposed to another trans-Atlantic trip. She was anemic and weak Her heroic sacrifices for science had played havoc with her strength. Yet she insisted on undertaking this journey, and risked her life once more Her visit, however, was made as confidential as possible. On October 15, 1929, she arrived in New York. All red tape was cut. She was given the freedom of the port. A distinguished delegation quietly met her at the pier She was spared the American ordeal of handshaking which had so distressed her on her previous visit.

Also significant was the trans-Atlantic coalition that began to form between Canada and the Scandinavian countries. Canada was a victim of acid rain, some of it of its own making, but also considerable portions of which came from the United States. Much like Scandinavia was having troubles convincing the UK and the European continent to take decisive measures to reduce the pollutants causing acid rain, Canada could do little more than convince the United States to agree to conduct research on the causes and consequences of acid rain.

The submarine trans-Atlantic telegraph cables of 1857, 1858, and 1865 were insulated with gutta percha, which was the prime material for submarine cable insulation for over 80 years, until it was replaced by the new polyethylene. One of the key drivers of the growth of the polymer industry— material substitution — had been initiated.

The complex interplay of deregulation, globalization, and technological change increased the international transmission capacities and traffic volumes for fiber optics carriers explosively. Between 1988 and 2003, for example, trans-Atlantic fiber optic cable capacity increased from 43,750 voice paths to 45.1 billion (103,000%), while across the Pacific Ocean, cable carriers capacity rose from 1,800 voice paths to 1.87 billion (an astonishing 1.6 billion percent).
