While windmill technology is appropriate for generating clean and renewable energy, its practicability is limited by seasonal nature of the power generating because of fluctuations in wind (Kumar & John, 2012). Windmills are installed in specific places. The output of the turbine in the windmill is dependent on the availability of wind to turn the turbine (Kumar & John, 2012). In addition, there is need for more renewable sources of energy to avoid the depletion of the fossil fuels. In another viewpoint, cleaner sources of energy are in keeping with the resolve to reverse the effects of global warming. Generating electricity ...

Binomial distribution

When do we use the binomial distribution? The binomial distribution is very useful when there are very many trials conducted in an experiment, say n, and we want to get the probability of finding success where each number of successes has a given probability of occurrence. The probability of success is denoted by p while that of failure is the complement, i.e. (1-p) (Collani & Dräger, 2011). The binomial distribution gives some of the probabilities that are associated with repeated Bernoulli independent trials.

Characteristics of binomial distribution

For a binomial experiment, an action is repeated several definite number of times The condition for ...

Introduction

Saudi Arabia as a country bases its law on the Quran. The constitution of the country stands as the Quran. Sharia is the official criminal law, and the government derives its power from the Holy Koran. The religion does not allow political parties; therefore, the country has a monarchy as the final political institution of Saudi Arabia. The issue of legal rights remains with the monarch in power as stated in the fundamental law. The king remains limited by the sharia law with absolute powers (Ranko 19). Therefore, religion and politics remain entwined in an equal manner. However, the ...

The city of Jerusalem’s history traces back to 5,000 years back, which its relevant across the religions; Christianity, Judaism and Muslim.

One is called a manager because of the responsibilities and duties he/she carries out. It may be supervisory or implementation duties. (Shapiro, J. 2001). Regardless of the amount of resources the managers will require to accomplish set goals, they should be able to produce a document or statement that reflects how the future operations of the organization will be carried out. Future expenditure and income of the organization should also be noted in the budget. (Shapiro, J. 2001).

In general terms, a budget is a financial document whose key purpose is to translate ideas into financial gains. (Curristine, T. 2007). A budget ...

At first glance, the yo-yo – is a simple toy that looks like a spool tied to the end of the rope. However in skillful hands it becomes something extraordinary! Let me try to explore the principles of acting of the yo-yo and find what makes it “behave” in such an unexpected way.

The simplest yo-yo resembles a flattened spool of thread – two disks (yo-yo halves) connected at the center with an axis of a sufficiently large diameter. To an axis there is a rope attached, which wounds around an axis. In the initial position, the rope is wound on the axle ...

Dance is about trying to achieve rhythm with one’s body or parts of the body. This implies that even disabled people can dance for the same reasons that able-bodied people dance and more. Several researches imply that when dance is used in therapy, ...

- Why does the tilt of the Earth’s axis relative to its orbit cause the seasons as the Earth revolves around the Sun? Draw a diagram to illustrate your answer.

Earth's seasons are the result of the tilt of the Earth's axis. Since the axis is tilted, different parts of the globe are oriented towards the Sun at different times of the year. Summer in the Northern Hemisphere is warmer than winter as the Sun's rays hit the Earth at a comparatively more direct angle for larger portions of the day, producing more heat and vice versa. Due to this very same tilt, when the Sun crosses the Equator it causes the equinoxes.

- Where do you have to be on the Earth to see the Sun at your zenith? If you stay at one such location for a full year, on how many days will the Sun pass through the zenith?

1) Explain how the outward flow of energy from the Earth’s interior drives the process of plate tectonics?

The outermost layer of earth, or lithosphere, is broken up into tectonic plates. The boundaries of the plates and their movement leads to the formation of earthquakes, volcanic activity, creation of mountains, and the formation of oceanic trenches. Tectonic plates are formed from either oceanic crust or continental crust, with many containing both. The movement of the plates varies from 0-100mm in a given year. The movement of these plates comes from the outward energy of flow that comes from earth’s central core. Radioactivity produced from elements within earth’s core, such as uranium, decay and release energy. The ...

1) Explain how the outward flow of energy from the Earth’s interior drives the process of plate tectonics?

The earth’s composition consists of a crust, mantle and core. The earth’s core consists of elements like uranium which are radioactive. Due to the phenomenon of radioactivity, these elements decay and trigger a reaction. Because of this a large amount of energy is produced in the core and inner core of the earth. Because of this energy, the core of the earth is very hot and in a molten state. This heat is transferred from the core to the crust by the process convection currents formed in the molten core, creating a cycle of rising and falling of the molten material. This ...

Fingerprint patterns are categorized into three main groups. These main patterns include loop pattern; whorl pattern; and arch pattern. Fingerprint patterns are used in forensic investigations of crimes. The fingerprint patterns are known to be unique to each individual; therefore, they help criminal investigators to identify criminals who are responsible for particular crimes (CSF, 2015). All individuals are required to submit their fingerprints to government authorities so that they can be used to identify them in future when need arises. Loop patterns have ridges that flow to one side, then loop around, and exit the fingerprint pattern from ...

Cortisol is a steroid hormone synthesized in adrenal glands with a myriad of functions mainly in the endocrine and immune systems, and produced during stress circumstances. Under normal conditions, stimuli such as a pathogen release immune proteins called interleukins, which further activate T-lymphocyte cells. T-cells multiply to amplify the immune response and ultimately attack the pathogen (Abbas, 2014). Other immune responses are simultaneously activated, e.g. the complement system. The complement system exerts its functions through three pathways: classical, alternative or lectin pathways. The main activators of the classical pathway are antigen-antibody complexes, which trigger a series of events mainly mediated by complement proteins ...

Chronic Stress and the Brain: Response

Stress can occur in varying levels of severity and lengths of time and result in physiological responses that proportionate to the level and duration (Greenberg, Carr & Summers 2002). The functioning of the amygdala, hippocampus and prefrontal cortex are negatively affected by chronic stress in humans. The amygdala is the control center in the brain for emotions, emotional behavior and motivation (Wright). The hippocampus works closely with the amygdala; its primary functions are long term memories and declarative memory (Wright). The prefrontal cortex is responsible for goal oriented behaviors and executive functions such as short term memory, motor functions and ...
