Lance Armstrong is an American former professional cyclist who won the Tour de France seven consecutive times from 1999-2005. However, he was later stripped of all his titles after being found guilty of doping. The document provides details about Armstrong's personal information and cycling career highlights. It also describes how in 1996 at age 25, Armstrong was diagnosed with advanced testicular cancer that had spread to his lungs, abdomen, and brain. He underwent surgery and chemotherapy to successfully fight the cancer, though he had a less than 40% chance of survival initially.

Lance Edward Armstrong (born Lance Edward
Gunderson, September 18, 1971) is an
American former professional
road racing cyclist.
Before being stripped of the titles, he was
best known for winning the Tour de France
seven consecutive times, from 1999 to 2005,
after having testicular cancer.
He had notable success between 1993 and
1996, including the 1993 World Championship,
Clásica de San Sebastián in 1995, an overall
victory in the penultimate Tour DuPont and a
handful of stage victories in Europe, including
the stage to Limoges in the Tour de France.

On October 2, 1996, then aged 25,
Armstrong was diagnosed as having
stage three (advanced) testicular cancer (
embryonal carcinoma).[10] The cancer
spread to his lungs, abdomen and brain.
On his first visit to a urologist in Austin,
Texas, for his cancer symptoms he was
coughing up blood and had a large, painful
testicular tumor. Immediate surgery and
chemotherapy saved his life. Armstrong
had an orchiectomy to remove his diseased
testicle. After his surgery, his doctor said
that he had less than a 40% survival
chance.[11]

Lance Armstrong is an American former professional cyclist who won the Tour de France seven consecutive times from 1999 to 2005. Before being stripped of his titles, he was best known for this unprecedented Tour de France success after overcoming testicular cancer. In 1996, at age 25, Armstrong was diagnosed with advanced testicular cancer that had spread to his lungs, abdomen, and brain. He underwent surgery and chemotherapy to remove a diseased testicle, and was given less than a 40% chance of survival by his doctor.

This document provides a biography of Lance Armstrong, focusing on his cycling career and battle with cancer. It discusses how at age 25 he was diagnosed with advanced testicular cancer that had spread to his brain and lungs. After aggressive chemotherapy treatment, his cancer went into remission. It then describes his comeback to professional cycling, where he went on to win the Tour de France a record 7 consecutive times between 1999-2005, making him one of the greatest cyclists of all time. His victories inspired many in their own battles with cancer.

Vensoft Technologies can protocol implementation for industrial process control

Vensoft Technologies

ABSTRACT: The main aim of this project is to implementation of industrial parameter control through CAN protocol by using 8051 and AVR microcontrollers. CAN is a multi-master broadcast serial bus standard for connecting electronic control units (ECUs).Each node is able to send and receive messages, but not simultaneously: a message (consisting primarily of an ID usually chosen to identify the message-type/sender and up to eight message bytes) is transmitted serially onto the bus, one bit after another this signal pattern codes the message (in NRZ) and is sensed by all nodes. The devices that are connected by a CAN network are typically sensors, actuators and control devices. A CAN message never reaches these devices directly, but instead a host processor and a CAN controller are needed between these devices and the bus. Bit rates up to 1 Mbit/s are possible at network lengths below 40 m. Decreasing the bit rate allows longer network distances (e.g. 125 kbit/s at 500 m). The programming language used for developing the software to the microcontroller is Embedded/Assembly. The KEIL cross compiler is used to edit, compile and debug this program. Micro Flash programmer is used for burning the developed code on Keil in to the microcontroller Chip. Here in our application we are using AT89C51 microcontroller which is Flash Programmable IC.AT represents the Atmel Corporation represents CMOS technology is used for designing the IC. This IC is one of the versions of 8051.

World Wide Narrative

Rayon is a synthetic fiber produced from wood pulp that can be woven like silk. It is cheaper than silk and can be dyed in many colors. Rayon can be mixed with cotton or wool for various applications like dresses, carpets, bandages, and conveyor belts. Nylon was the first fully synthetic fiber produced without using any natural raw materials. It is strong, elastic, light, and easy to wash. Nylon is used to make items like socks, ropes, tents, toothbrushes, and parachutes. Polyester fabric does not wrinkle easily and remains crisp when washed, making it suitable for dress materials and shirts. Terylene is a popular type of polyester that

Air pollution

Sonal Jappy

This document discusses different types of air pollution including smog, acid rain, the greenhouse effect, and damage to the ozone layer. It describes how smog forms from chemical reactions between pollutants from different sources. Acid rain occurs when pollutants combine with water droplets, and can damage trees, soils, and buildings. The greenhouse effect is caused by a buildup of carbon dioxide trapping heat, raising temperatures. Ozone layer depletion is caused by chemicals like CFCs. Causes of air pollution include vehicle emissions, industrial activities, and indoor sources like smoking and building materials. Prevention methods include public transportation, alternative energy sources, and energy conservation.

Revolt of 1857

Sonal Jappy

The document summarizes the key events and causes of the 1857 Indian rebellion against the British East India Company. It describes how the rebellion began with Indian soldiers refusing to use new cartridges due to religious reasons. This led to their arrest and sparked further unrest. The rebellion then spread to several major cities, with leaders like Nana Sahib and the Mughal emperor Bahadur Shah II supporting the rebels. However, the rebellion ultimately failed due to lack of coordination, inferior resources compared to the British, and other native princes not joining. The British regained control of major cities by July 1858, crushing the rebellion.

Badminton

Sonal Jappy

Badminton is a racquet sport that can be played singles or doubles. Players score points by hitting a shuttlecock over the net and into their opponent's side of the court using their racquet. The rally ends when the shuttlecock hits the ground and it can only be hit once by each side before going over the net. Badminton originated from ancient Greece and was brought to England from India in the 1860s where it became a popular upper-class pastime. The equipment used includes lightweight racquets, feathered shuttlecocks, and lightweight shoes with grippy soles.

Sulphuric acid

Sonal Jappy

Sulfuric acid is a colorless to slightly yellow, highly corrosive liquid. It is widely used in industry, especially in manufacturing fertilizers, chemicals, detergents, dyes, pharmaceuticals, and car batteries. Some key uses include making other acids like nitric and hydrochloric acids, sulfate salts, synthetic detergents, dyes, pigments, explosives, and drugs. It is also used for cleaning metals prior to plating and in processing petroleum products. Sulfuric acid was first produced commercially in the 18th century and its production and uses have expanded significantly since then.
