Hybrid Literature Reviews Samples For Students

Literature Review

Abstract
Innovations and modifications that produce cost reductions and enhance performance have driven the evolution of the classic solid rocket and the liquid bipropellant rocket into hybrid models that integrate the predominant solid and liquid model features into more sensical, more economical fabrications of design. The commercial spacecraft demands for aerospace propulsion have also evolved to include a market for environmentally sustainable hybrid rocket engines that has yet to fully mature to the Technology Readiness Level (TRL). Numerical modeling has been used as a tool to test the feasibility of new solid fuel types. ABS has been considered as ...

Introduction

Globally, the automotive industry is possibly the most complex and largest undertaking in industrial history. The complexity of its production has resulted to cars whose main concern was the right price, performance, reliability, safety, market attraction and emission hence ignoring other major concerns like energy security and climate protection (Lovins & Cramer, 2004). Regular (conventional) cars use petroleum products (petrol and diesel) as fuel. (50by50 campaign) research showed that light duty vehicles are expected to triple by 2050. This translates to increased prices, environmental pollution, energy crises, reductions of oil reserves and eventually global warming. These has necessitated the need ...

There is an increasing number of electric cars in the world, with the US expecting to have 1 million electric cars by the end of 2015. Arguably, it is easy to increase the number of electric cars but difficult to increase electricity generating capacity at the same rate. Generating capacity to cater for the number of electric cars. The basic problem with electric vehicles require an overnight charging to ensure the car is fully charged when owners need it to commute in the morning. Any given grid can provide a certain amount of excess electric supply which it can devote ...

Abstract

Cloud computing acceptance and popularity remains in its simplicity of use, ease of access and robust infrastructure. Cloud computing finds application across the industry at all the stages of application development, support and data warehouse management. Cloud computing reduces the cost of operation and provides enhanced flexibility. Cloud computing is a technology that has a promising future. Virtualization which is a base underlying technology that facilitates cloud computing provides numerous benefits for an organization. Virtualization is replacing the hardware inventory for organizations with smart ...

Analysis of Oil Palm Shell Concrete-A Review

Many researches have been conducted on to use oil palm shell (OPS) as the light weight material in last three decades. It is an agricultural waste normally generated from palm oil industry. This industry is normally situated in Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, and some other countries. There are many products being made from OPS. The use of OPS as lightweight aggregate in making concrete mix is the main project of many companies in different countries including Malaysia that was first introduced by Abdullah in 1984. Malaysia playing an important role in manufacturing of different oil palm products as it gives ...

Introduction

Dental implants are increasingly becoming popular because a large section of clinicians believe that natural tooth restoration techniques are inferior to dental implants as implants have a longer life than natural tooth and are less susceptible to biological changes. There are various types of dental implants that support crown, bridges, and dentures, and act as orthodontic anchors and facial prosthesis. The basis of the modern dental implant is a biological process in which titanium forms a bond with bone. Dental fixture is first implanted and then a prosthetic is added.
Over the years, various implant impression techniques, such as ...

Self-Organized Network (May 2016)

Abstract—In the form of a literature review, this outline is a brief outline of the intricate, yet fundamental elements of Self Organized Network (SON). The author takes an in-depth account of research studies and basic writings of this telecommunications platform and weighs in on the writings of subject matter experts. In doing so, findings indicate that the technological demands that are placed on telecommunication networks is directly related to the economic chain of supply and demand. Indirectly, there is are environmental concerns that are ignored in meeting such demands that address waste and emissions. While SON may fix ...

Vehicles come with various specifications often for purposes of marketing. In technical terms, these specifications are simply configurations of how a vehicle driving system is designed to run. For instance, vehicles might be referred to as four-wheel or two wheels to explain how the engine connects to the wheels to produce traction. The technical differences depend on the purpose of each type of vehicle which includes where it is to be driven. To understand the differences between this driving mechanisms one needs to study the mechanical aspect of their design.
A two wheel driving system is where the drive ...

Abstract

Microscopic analysis of materials is generally complex; hence engineers always look for alternative methods of analysis, by appropriate modelling. In specific, studying the damage of materials is important in almost every discipline of science/engineering/technology. Material damage includes the beginning, advancement and fracture of materials. The most important tool so far, used to analyze this damage, is called damage mechanics which relies heavily on continuum mechanics. It encompasses useful theories for the representation, modelling, and analysis of material damage. Broadly speaking, damage mechanics utilizes state variables to show the effects of damage. For instance, the variations in stiffness, and the ...

Introduction

Reality TV shows such as American Idol and the Bachelorette are amongst the top rated shows which attract the youth. The reason of appeal maybe accredited to the satisfaction consumers achieve by watching these shows as they relate and identify with these depictions. Marketers often use advertisements during these shows (such as the Coke can in the American Idol show) to promote their brands on a channel being highly viewed by the consumers. People engage in different behaviors when they are about to purchase a product and their consumption behavior is often affected by the advertisements, promotional deals, price, the packaging ...

Development Reading Course is a study area at college level that is designed to improve the reading skills of students, to the standard required by the college, for course work (Valeri-Gold & Deming, 2008). It is designed to assist students achieve academic success by improving their skills in three high education level course work (Smittle, 1995). Students in colleges’ nation wide must demonstrate or show case, college readiness skills in three areas; Development Reading I, Development Reading II and composition and Basic Writing. The institution of higher learning measures the ability of a student, by their performance in the placement tests in ...
