1.0 Introduction

When the concept of green building emerges, environmentalists and researchers automatically assume the solutions lie on materials and their constituencies in buildings they are part of and the lifetime of the building. Exterior material directly in contact with the environment and natural elements may enhance the sustainability of the building, but may greatly impact the functions of nearby ecosystems. Hence building sustainability and environmental maintenance are not exactly interchangeable, and yet these terms are often utilized mistakenly. The pioneers of environmental constructs are not confirmed, although architectural historians suggest they date back prior to Ancient Roman times. Architects took ...

Abstract

Censorship has been a debatable issue for decades with critics viewing it as an infringement on the rights that have been enshrined in many constitutions of many countries; this is the main reason why the notion of censorship in any sector is met with extreme resistance; however, it is a part of history that those holding positions of power often use this idea to suppress what they feel are ideas that might lead to opposition or other fundamental ideas that might threaten their hold over the people; when it comes to literature it is important to consider the effect that this ...

Improving the processing of polymer manufacture to get the maximum mechanical properties

There are various characteristics and properties of Polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) that are essential in the improvement of the processing of polymer manufacture. PMMA have been widely used in place of the glass. Consequently, its unique features have been the contributing factors in its applications. The properties of PMMA include:

Weight: The material is always lightweight and even durable.

Density: The material has a density of between 1.15-1.19 g/cm3. This weight is estimated as half the density of a glass material.
Strength: PMMA has a good impact strength which is significantly lower than the strength of the polycarbonate as well as other engineered polymers. In addition, the strength of the PMMA ...

Humanism is stated as a philosophy. The focus of this philosophy has been on human means to understand human reality. This philosophy is of science and reason in the knowledge pursuit. Followers of this philosophy reject arbitrary revelation, authority, faith and modified state of consciousness. It is also referred as a philosophy of concern and imagination. It is based on realistic beliefs and associated with those humans who love the life. People following this theory take the blame of the lives of other humans. Mulk Raj Anand provides a clear view of the philosophy. He defines it as a system of thinking in ...

Chapter 3- Experimental

3.1 Methodology

In order to produce PMMA, some steps need to be followed.

PMMA is generally made by mixing 20 cm3 of Methyl Methacrylate monomer with 0.1-0.3 g of Lauroyl peroxide initiator. It needs to be poured into a steel or glass mould and heated up by submerging the mould into a water or oil bath at 100 °C. Once the glycerine stage has been shaped, the mould is put into a cold water bath.
3.2 Source of the material
The types of material that would be used for this project is Methyl Methacrylate [monomer] and 1, 1’-AZOBIS (CYCLOHEXANECARBONITRILE) [Initiator] and Lauroyl peroxide (Luperox) [Initiator]. The materials are not ...

Pitrik, 2013). On the other hand, in socio-cognitive teaching, teachers offer scenarios whereby the students enter into the kinds of social discourse situations and societies that they (students) would encounter outside the traditional classroom. For example, students connect to various contexts for social interaction through the internet. In these contexts, they (students) meet and interact with native English speakers (Strambi & Bouvet, 2003), which allow them (students) to learn the English culture, and therefore, learning the language becomes easier. Therefore, socio-cognitive teaching explains the role of social interaction in the creation of an environment to learn a language, learn about the ...

Free will is the ability of agents to make choices free from certain kinds of constraints. According to the historical views, the constraint of dominant concern is the metaphysical constraint of determinism. The opposing positions within various debates are metaphysical libertarianism, the claim that determinism is not true and thus free will exists and hard determinism, the claim that determinism is true and thus that free will does not be there. These positions, which agree that causal determination is the relevant factor in the question of free will, are classed as incompatibility. Those who do not believe that determinism ...

Introduction

It is generally noted that the development of dosimeters to measure neutron exposures has been slow for many years in comparison to the development of gamma and x-ray dosimeters. Exposures to x-rays and gamma rays have been determined from glass dosimeters and film badges. By applying these dosimeters, personnel exposure to radiations caused by radioactive substances can be measured to standard accuracy. However, the uncertainty may arise due to variation in readings as a result of orientation of the wearer of the dosimeter to the source during exposure. On the other hand, NTA film has been the only neutron dosimeter ...

The role of packaging has actually changed due to the increasing changes in the preferences and wants of the consumers. It has also changed due to the increasing self-service and changing consumers’ lifestyle in a very global and intensely competitive environment (Deliya & Parmar, p. 2). Historically, the main purpose of packaging is to defend the product. At present, it is also being utilized as an instrument for increasing sales, attracting customers and communicating the brand to its consumers. More and more businesses are turning to packaging as a means of increasing sales. It has, indeed, become a tool of promotions. Packaging has ...

According to Lexus.us, Dosimetry is defined as “Measurement of radiation exposure, especially X-rays or gamma rays; calculation of radiation dose from internally administered radionuclides”. (2010). Neutron dosimetry is neither as precise nor as complex as gamma dosimetry. In the United States today, neutron dosimetry is among the vital requirements used to carry out comparison of the clinical results gotten from radiotherapy trials done at the fast neutron therapy facilities.
The neutron dosimetry radiation uses specialized devices which includes superheated drop detectors. Gamma rays originating from the surroundings, the phantom or biological object experiencing the radiation, the collimating or ...

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 ...

1. Introduction
Government agencies are in most cases mandated with essential service-delivery and thus are often non-profit in nature. Hence, they are riddled with a culture of inefficiencies and underperformance. This paper will evaluate organizational culture, particularly in government agencies, thus the term organization will strictly be used to refer to government agencies (the civil service and the public sector in general).
In this ever dynamic business environment, management strategies are formulated every once in a while. The broad purpose of the so-called strategies is to enhance performance at the organizational level. For this to be possible the work ...

1.0 Introduction
Generally motivation is a psychological process that refers to issues that drive an individual into action. Motivation can also be defined as the process of triggering, sustaining and guiding behavior to a specific purpose. All human behavior is usually as a result of either an external (the environment) or internal (physiological) causal agent (commonly referred to as stimulus) (Stajkovic and Luthans 34). In a business environment, the terminology “motivation” is very complex because different employees are motivated differently and by wide range factors. While some employees are easily motivated by monetary means others are motivated by recognition of their efforts ...

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. ...

Philosophy of consciousness, undoubtedly, takes a leading position in Anglo-American philosophical thought of 20th and the beginning of 21st century. Numerous publications, devoted to the problems of consciousness are an indicator of that. Philosophy of mind is a branch of analytical philosophy, which studies philosophical aspects of consciousness problem. The central theme of philosophy of consciousness is relationship between consciousness and brain. In this context brain poses a problem of mind-body, while consciousness is understood as either the aggregate mental states, accessible only to the living being experiencing them, or as a state of monitoring internal processes by this subject.
