Introduction

Biomass is a biological material obtained from a living organism or a recently living organism. The word biomass is derived from two Greek words; bio meaning life, and maza meaning mass (Demirbas, “Fuels from Biomass” 43). Biomass means non-fossil and bio-decomposable organic matter (originating from plants, animals and microorganisms). The products, byproducts, residues and waste from agricultural processing, all constitute biomass. Bio-waste simply means non-fossil and biodegradable waste that is composed of organic matter. Bio-wastes include food and kitchen wastes, garden and park wastes, and wastes from food processing plants. Bio-waste is therefore an element of biomass. Non-fossil wastes that are ...

Introduction

Waste biomass is usually in the form of manure, agricultural residues, municipal sewage sludge, municipal solid waste, and industrial bio-sludge which can be converted to animal feeds, alcohol fuels or industrial chemicals. There are various processes which are employed to convert this waste into the respective useful end products rather than being dumped away. The complexity of these processes depends on the kind of technologies being used. Conversions of waste biomass into renewable energy forms play a major role in reducing the dependence on crude oil and thus promote economic growth. The process of waste biomass conversion to useful products ...

Question 1

The definition of religion is often different across different groups depending on the values and beliefs that they hold. Noticeably, most people define religion based on what history holds as true for them. Typically, the catholic Spain defines religion as a matter of doctrines, rituals, creeds and traditions. Seemingly, the catholic Spain seems to attest to the fact that religion is more of a way of life. However, this is not true according to the historical chronology of religious beliefs. Looking closely, history explains the evolution of religion through ages. Thus, religion is never a set of compact doctrines and traditions.

Metric units verses customary units

One finds metric units easier to convert because they only contain seven basic quantities. These include length, mass, time, temperature, electric current, amount of substance, and light intensity. This means that all other units are derived from the basic units. Conversions of metric units are quite easy because the other smaller or larger units of metrics are expressed using prefixes that are powers of ten (Customary & Metric Systems of Measurement, n.d). For example, one gram = 103 kilogram. Therefore, converting 15 kilograms to grams ; 15 kg x 1000 = 15000g On the other hand, customary units are not easily ...

Plant and Solar cell

The sun plays an extremely vital role in sustaining the life on earth, exhibited through the emission of solar energy that aids in the cycling of matter, and maintenance of gravity (Miller & Spoolman, 2007). The solar energy reaches the earth through radiation. It flows through the biosphere, warms the atmosphere, evaporates, recycles water, generates winds and support plant growth (Miller & Spoolman, 2007). Further, the energy from the sun also supports photosynthesis, the process by which green plants use natural light to make compound such as carbohydrates that maintain their lives also feed other organisms (Miller & Spoolman, 2007). On the ...

Introduction There is no other dramatic turn in the Christian literature and history far greater than when the Roman Emperor, Constantine, converted to Christianity. Cohen (p. 1) described Constantine as a successful general. His father was a successful general as well and he was trained for military leadership. He led the army at the West. He inched his way to the Roman Empire by his leadership and military might. Constantine claimed to have had a vision of a Chi Ro (p. 1). This is a symbol of Christ, shining above the sun. Recognizing it as a divine sign, Constantine made his soldiers paint ...

Energy is the ability to produce change in a system. It can easily be converted from one form to another. The process of changing one form of energy to another is called energy conversion (Sorensen, 2007). This paper is therefore devoted to the analysis of how energy can be converted from one form to another. Also, it presents a clear elaboration on what fossil fuels are and why they are becoming attractive energy sources.

Three different ways can be used to explain energy conversion. Energy can be converted through action of forces, when atoms emit or absorb photons of light, and ...

Christianity was not a popular religion than it is today. In fact, historians and theology scholars debate regarding the true nature of the Christian religion. Originally, they concluded it as a sect of Judaism1 since Jesus Christ was born a Jew. As a religious leader, He was charismatic, performed many miracles, and defended the poor as well as the oppressed. Through cultural diffusion2, the new religion gained a small but loyal group of followers such as the twelve apostles who would eventually travel the Roman Empire to preach His teachings and spread the awareness of the public to the Christian religion. History proves that ...

Introduction

Most advancement in sciences and technology would not be possible without the use and conversion of energy from one form to another. Thus, thermodynamic principles are considered fundamental laws of energy and relevant to the development of the society at large. This study considers thermodynamics as it concerns different forms of energy, their conversion, and usage.

Laws of Thermodynamics

The scientific method involves making an observation, making an explanation of the observation, testing the explanation in order to see whether it is valid and either accepting or rejecting the explanation. Once an explanation is rejected, a better explanation is developed and then tested. The exact steps that are followed in a scientific method depend on the number of times the method is broken down. However, there are five major steps that are followed in a scientific method. These steps are making observations, proposing a hypothesis, designing an experiment and performing it to test the hypothesis, analyzing the data in order to determine ...

Introduction

Before the declaration of Christianity as the official religion in England in 312 A.D., there were prior contacts between Christianity and Insular Celtic paganism. The Georgian Mission of Christianity in 596 A.D., which declared the conversion of all pagans to Christianity as well as the Christianity take-over of Ireland by 600 A.D., accelerated the rise of Christianity and the fall of paganism (Lunn-Rockliffe, p. 12). By 1100 A.D., Christianity had gained sufficient control over the Celtic region, thereby replacing the former religion, paganism (p. 17). However, since most of the people that drafted literature about the interaction between Paganism ...

Energy Conversion is Critical to the Study of Energy

Energy is an integral component of a society. Energy is used in homes, industries and various sectors of the economy. Though energy is derived from many sources and is usually in many forms, it is the conversion of energy from one form to another that makes it usable. For example, energy from coal cannot be useful if it is not converted to electricity. Much of the energy that is used is usually converted from fossil fuels. According to key figures by the European Commission (2011), fossil fuels account for about three quarters of the EU’s energy mix. For example, ...

- Describe two features that make all enzymes catalysts.

Enzymes are catalysts that increase the rate of reaction between substances and remain unchanged in the reaction. Enzymes are vital to several bodily functions and make possible such processes like metabolism and catabolism. Two features that make enzymes catalysts is their ability to lower the activation energy and their inherent tendency to combine with coenzymes and cofactors. Activation energy is the minimum energy required to activate the molecules of reactants in order to initiate a chemical reaction. Some substrates have high activation energies that would need very high temperatures to activate ...

Scenario One

Sebastian commits this offense when he dishonestly buys business class tickets with the intention to sell them. Evidence of further dishonesty is illustrated by his travelling in economy class while the company records indicate that he travelled in the business class. Even though no harm results to the company from his actions, the case of Attorney General’s Reference (No. 3 of 2003) held that the key determinant in the offense is the conduct, not the results. Accordingly, Sebastian has committed the offense regardless of the outcome of his conduct. It is however imperative to note that it ...

Any firm should pay attention to its inflows and outflows of the cash in order not to become a bankrupt. Thus, focusing on operating cycle and cash conversion cycle, which include all cash flows in and out of the firm, its financial situation can be easily estimated. Regarding operating cycle, it is the period of time from the moment the firm spends money to buy raw materials till it receives money from sales of products (Baker, p. 163). Also, it includes the duration of work-in-process and finished goods and time needed to sale these products. As for the cash ...

Cash Conversion Cycle – Home Depot Inc. versus Lowe’s Companies Inc. In the section, the cash conversion cycle of two companies is compared which reflects the financial performance of these publicly traded businesses to collect cash, generate sales and pay their creditors. In the below mentioned table, the cash conversion cycle is computed by the addition of Days Sales Outstanding (DSO) ratio to Days in Inventory (DI) and exclusion of the Payable Period (PP) ratio from that sum. It is also clear that liquidity management and cash generation, “Lowe's Companies” tends to outperform “Home Depot” because it ...

Although Cash and Operating Cycle are both the measure as in what time period, money flows back into business, but they both differs marginally in terms of aspects of cash flow they measure:

Operating Cycle:

This metric indicates the amount of time it takes for the company to get the money invested in inventories back into cash. The metric is purposely called operating cycle as the process of purchasing raw material, processing it, selling the items and using the cash recovered from customers and then again using the cash generated to purchase the raw material will go on until the company ...

Oliver states that identifying that identifying quality over quantity is a step towards identifying the real and root cost of increase in email frequency. I completely disagree with this. This is because it is not only that the client will unsubscribe from such emails; he may also block them or filter them. This only shows that the cause of a failed emailing process is based on the emailing frequency. Oliver argues that this goes to prove that there is a lot to weigh in before deciding what determines poor results from the increase in emailing frequency. Here, I support you Oliver in ...
