Introduction There is no doubt that the web is a good source of information. However, it is still debatable whether the web facilitates the creation of new frontiers of knowledge or not. On one side of the debate, there are those who argue that the web acts as a catalogue of the existing information while, on the other hand, experts argue that the web helps in detecting the areas where there is insufficient information thus creating an avenue for development of knowledge. Nonetheless, the web is complex, and it serves multiple purposes. Therefore, it is difficult to narrow down the ...

It is widely accepted that a sufficient food and water consumption is an integral part of living and health promotion. Food safety and quality are therefore considered to be a major concern for food manufacturers, policy makers and general public. Although there is a significant progress in advisory labelling practice, undeclared allergens can sometimes be added into food as a result of a manufacturing process. Allergens can be defined as a substance capable of triggering immediate hypersensitivity (AAAAI, 2014). Food Standards Agency (FSA) (2014) has calculated that each year approximately 10 people die from food-induced anaphylaxis. Poorly controlled production of food also damages socioeconomic status ...

The wiring that is performed between the elevated voltage substations and the clients is described as electric power distribution. The transmitting lines that are connected are transformed into the electrical energy transmission networks. The combination of the electrical energy distribution and the electrical energy transmission is acknowledged as the power grid. The term is similar in the United States and the United ...

Introduction

Many are often amazed at the term hydraulic Fracturing. Hydraulic fracturing is a technique that involves typical mixing of water with chemicals and sand, under high pressure. The mixture is injected into wellbore to create small fractures where fluids such as petroleum, gas, brine water and uranium-bearing solution might migrate to the well. It is at this point that some have voiced their concern on the possible pollution of ground water due to the injection of these chemicals to the ground (Spellman 45). However, others have also supported the process so strongly citing that the amount of chemicals released in ...

The term ‘human factor’ and ‘ergonomics’ are, in most cases, used interchangeable because they deal with more or less the same thing (Cohen & Woodson, 2005). However, it is essential to note that even though human factors and ergonomics mean the same thing, one term may be favored more than the other in different countries may or industries may. Ergonomics essentially deals with designing for the people especially when they interact with systems, processes or products. The application of ...

Hydraulic fracturing or fracking is a technique that involves typical mixing of water with chemicals and sand, under high pressure. The mixture is injected into wellbore to create small fractures where fluids such as petroleum, gas, brine water and uranium-bearing solution might migrate to the well. The hydraulic pressure is removed from such well and small proppant grains are used in holding the fractures open when the rock achieves equilibrium. This technique is common in wells for tight gas, shale gas, coal seam gas and tight oil. Such well stimulation is carried out once in the well’s life time ...

Background of Research:

How quickly is society moving towards the depletion of oil? The particular question, with huge political and financial, communal and cultural implications, is one of those causing intense controversy.
