Abstract

Photovoltaic (PV) systems are one of the next generation’s renewable energy sources for our world energy demand. PV modules are highly reliable. However, in polluted environments, over time, they will collect grime and dust. There are also limited field data studies about soiling losses on PV modules. The study showed how important it is to investigate the effect of tilt angle on soiling.

The study includes two sets of mini-modules. Each set has 9 PV modules tilted at 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 23, 30, 33 and 40o. The first set called "Cleaned" was cleaned every other day. ...

Business Torts & Ethics

Standing alone, the intruder is liable for his or her actions. The intruder is liable for a number of crimes independent of the landowner’s liability. While the landowner may be held liable as well, the intruder is most definitely liable for his intentional torts committed against Darryl and Sharon. Simply because the intruder committed the torts on the landowner’s property does not excuse the intruder from personal liability. The intruder is potentially liable for a number of different torts.
The intruder can be charged with burglary. While burglary is a tort, not a crime, the intruder has ...

On Her Own Ground by Madam C. J. Walker, is not just a form of entertainment, it is an accurate record of the life and times of one of America’s most inspirational figures. As an African American, Walker had to work ten times as hard to make her name in spite of the adversity she faced as a black woman, living in the late 19^th Century. Overcoming tremendous odds, C. J. Walker’s story is the definitive ‘rags to riches’ tale, much loved by the American public: born to enslaved parents, orphaned at a young age; married and ...

Abstract

In “The Death of the Author,” structuralist thinker Roland Barthes suggested the notion of the author as a distinct identity in the creation and interpretation of a text was a thing of the past. Instead, he preferred the use of the word “scriptor” to refer to the person writing or typing a work for the first time. The ideas in the scriptor's mind would have to travel through his or her semiotic filters to make it to the paper – those filters take the ideas and shape them – for ...
