I. Introduction
There is no doubt that poor, developing countries are at a disadvantage on the global stage. Whether they suffer from internal difficulties or from suppression by external forces, there is a definite imbalance of power within the global community.

Introduction.

A combustion engine can be defined as any engine that operates through fuel burning. The difference between a combustion engine and steam engine is that the latter uses steam for operation while the former uses gasoline. Combustion engines also use fueled gases such as hydrogen, propane, methane etc which are components of diesel. Combustion engines run on one type of fuel, and may require a series of adaptation to adjust to fuel/air ratio to use other forms of energy (Agrawal, 2006).

In TESOL class, I have learned that listening is a very important aspect of study of any language.  One way through which a second language learner learns a new language is by listening.  When they listen to the language above they use their “present linguistic competence”, to figure out the meaning of what they hear real time (Nunan 26).  Immediately, they connect the input information to their experience or something that they already know.  Using the cues in the situation, they then process the information to create “the meaning behind the words” (Nunan 24).  From this process, the language learners acquire language beyond their current level.

Abstract

The seawater forms 97% of water of the world, and the icecaps account for 2%. The portion of water available for human consumption is barely 0.5% and that also in aquifers. The widening gap between availability and requirement of potable water especially in the Gulf countries has necessitated newer methods and technologies for production of water suitable for human consumption. This situation in the Gulf region has developed due to non- availability of surface water, high growth of population and urbanization, and water depletion. The present paper takes account of the desalinization of seawater plant established in Abu Dhabi Continue reading...

Features of a Bureaucratic organization.

Max Weber (1864-1920), a German sociologist proposed different elements found in a bureaucratic organization, which assist in resource control, aid decision making process, accomplish organizational objectives, and protect employees. Weber conceived bureaucracy as an abstract for rational decision making procedures with minimal frictions from human emotions and errors. According to Weber, bureaucratic institutions are most rational in carrying out impartial control over workers (FISCHER and SIRIANNI, 1994).
The theory of bureaucracy is founded upon the nature of power and authority relationships. It is concerned with how organizations operate rather than how they function. According to Weber, there are three Continue reading...

Each worldview frames the issue of poverty and a lack of social development in Continue reading...

Bottom-Up Approach

Bottom-up approach can be defined as a paradigm that approaches a problem by starting with details and working up to the highest conceptual level. Plainly, it is the progression from small units toward a large and more significant unit. In this approach, which differs from the top-down approach, models are created from small components. An example is the development of nano-electronics from the bottom up. According to Lieber and Lu (842) from the University of Michigan, electronics created using the bottom-up approach of molecular-level control of the composition and structure of materials lead to the building of robust and Continue reading...
