A voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) produces an oscillation frequency based on an input voltage, which can be fixed or variable. VCOs can produce sine or triangular waveforms and use different methods to control frequency. Harmonic VCOs have better frequency stability, while relaxation VCOs can be tuned to a wider range of frequencies and are suitable […]
The Controlled Substances Act regulates drugs with potential for abuse and addiction, grouping them into five schedules based on their addictive potential. The act covers narcotics, depressants, stimulants, anabolic steroids, and hallucinogens. The DEA monitors the growth, sale, and use of marijuana.

Controlled vocabulary involves using pre-approved terms to classify information, contrasting with natural language. It improves search relevance and usability, but requires human intervention and may result in large volumes of information. Examples include search engines and business filing systems. Controlled vocabulary is a concept in computing and computer programming that involves using only previously agreed […]
The Controlled Substances Act classifies regulated substances into five schedules, with Schedule I being the most harmful and in need of regulation. Schedule II substances have a high potential for abuse and severe dependence, but also have an accepted medical use. The remaining schedules have progressively lower risk and potential severity of abuse. Violating anti-trafficking […]
Controlled foreign corporations are used by investors to reduce tax burdens in their home country, but many countries view them as tax havens and establish rules to limit deferred taxes. Companies create tax havens by creating subsidiaries in low-tax foreign countries and investing dividends there. The US and UK have laws requiring shareholders to declare […]
Controlled experiments involve manipulating one variable while keeping all others constant to test a hypothesis. To ensure accurate results, researchers must eliminate as many variables as possible. For example, to test the effect of sound on plants, researchers must use the same plant species, size, and location, and expose them to the same sound at […]
Controlled foreign companies are used by investors to reduce tax burdens in their home country, but are viewed as tax havens and can contribute to tax evasion. Countries have put in place rules to limit deferred taxation and many controlled foreign companies are established in low-tax areas. The US, UK, and Germany have laws regarding […]
