conventional gas reservoir, as the methane
is stored within the coal by a process 20. (a)
called adsorption.
The methane is in a near-liquid state, lining
the inside of pores within the coal (called
the matrix). The open fractures in the coal

GPS device receives information from any
four of the 32 satellites that orbit the earth.
It then calculates the distances from the
M
satellites and derives its location by
trilateration. Assisted GPS or AGPS is
another type of GPS that relies on an
assistance server, aside from the satellites.
The assistance server provides additional

information to the device that can aid it in
the calculation of the location. This can
be very helpful when the signal from the

satellite is pretty weak.
1. GPS relies on the satellites alone to
calculate its position while AGPS relies
on both the satellites and an assistance
server

Biometrics (or biometric authentication)
refers to the identification of humans by
their characteristics or traits. Biometrics
is used in computer science as a form of
identification and access control.
It is also used to identify individuals in
groups that are under surveillance.
Biometric identifiers are often categorized
as physiological versus behavioral
characteristics.

Green computing, green IT or ICT
Sustainability, is the study and practice of
environmentally sustainable computing or
IT. It includes designing, manufacturing,
using, and disposing of computers, servers,
and associated subsystemssuch as
monitors, printers, storage devices, and
networking and communications systems
efficiently and effectively with minimal
or no impact on the environment.
The goals of green computing are similar
togreen chemistry: reduce the use of
hazardous materials, maximize energy
efficiencyduringtheproductslifetime,and
promote the recyclability or biodegrad-
abilityof defunct products and factory
waste.
Green ICT and its services present
opportunities to deliver low carbon footprints
and mitigate carbon emissions because
of the unique ability to make energy
consumption and green house gas
emissions visible through its products and
services.
