The development of solar energy is based on a use of solar radiation for generation energy. Solar energy is the kinetic energy of the radiation (mainly light) formed by reactions in the solar interior. As its stocks are almost inexhaustible (astronomers counted that the Sun will “burn” some more millions of years), solar energy belongs to a renewable source of energy. In natural ecosystems, only a small part of the solar energy is absorbed by chlorophyll that contains in the leaves of plants and is used for photosynthesis, namely for the formation of organic matter from carbon dioxide and ...

Introduction

Knowledge of how rapidly reaction proceeds is among the most important for practice in chemistry and chemical engineering. We often use casual descriptions of reaction rate such as “slow” or “fast” in our lives, however, such information can be scarcely enough for practical and industrial applications, such as running a chemical plant, for example. While there is a huge spectrum of the reaction rates that are present in nature – from the extremely slow steel oxidation to extremely rapid gas combustion, the quantitative measure is needed to compare them practically. For a general reaction in solution:

the kinetic rate expression ...

The institutional operations continue to be sophisticated and bound in complex ways that are a bit difficult to understand. In many corporate societies, the idea of collaboration among employees has been spearheaded by the management as a way to consolidate the support and unite the employees within the organization. Several companies have applied the concept of employee engagement as a tool to understand quickly the nature of employee activities and get the best of them regarding service delivery to the company. It is appalling that for many years employers did not regard the concept of employee engagement as a ...

There are different approaches to define small economies. Besides usual quantitative ways to measure country’s smallness by its population, territory, GDP and other criteria, there some qualitative factors that are used to define the economy’s scale. Some economists state that small economies are those that adopt “price taking” policies as they cannot dictate their rules in the market, neither significantly influence trade rules. This peculiarity of small economies mainly lies in the fact that such countries have limited resources. Hereby, small countries are more dependent on imports and are forced to accept trade agreements offered by large ...

Introduction:

When designing a course, it important to understand the target audience of the course content. This is critical since it will help ensure that the content developed meets the learning needs of the target audience. Many teachers assume that learners understand a subject the same way they do.

Numerous factors influence the different understanding of different people and it is important to consider these factors when designing a course. This enables delivery of the course content in ...

In today’s economic and technological climate, the world’s consumption of oil and gas far outstrips our ability to replenish our supply. At the current rate of our oil usage, I do not believe it is possible to maintain our consumption for very long, as it would require the discovery of new fields on par with Saudi Arabia’s current supplies every decade. Even if we were able to find these new supplies and deposits, there is only a finite amount of oil remaining in the world, thus necessitating the consideration of alternative fuel sources. If the developed ...

Introduction

Globalization can be defined as the intensified way the people and governments of different people interact and the acceleration of these interactions (Ritzer, 2010). Normally, the focus is on the changes occurring in the political and economic spheres. However, it is now being recognized at large that globalization does have a significant impact on local culture. Culture can be understood broadly as the overall ways in which a society preserves, identifies, organizes, sustains, and expresses itself. The gist of this literature is to describe the consequences and benefits of globalization within the Sudan context. Additionally, it covers policies proposed ...

Culture is something that transfers, conveys and generates value patterns and related content, notions, concepts and other symbolic systems that are highly meaningful in nature. These together serve as factors in shaping human behavior as well as the products that are generated or created through such behavior, which further get transferred through various generations since many ages. Thus, culture essentially acts as a pivotal element in shaping the penchant and behavioral patterns of individuals belonging to various cultures globally.

The Issue

The Children and Young Persons Act of 1963 provides ten years as the minimum age of criminal responsibility (MACR) for England and Wales (Goldson, 2013, p.113).

Children as young as ten years are being convicted of crimes and subjected to a police investigation. In this regard, they may end up having a criminal record for life. England and Wales' MACR is the lowest in Europe. It also fails to consider developmental psychology ...

Introduction: In the words of Mankiw (2011), “Producer surplus is the amount a seller is paid minus the cost of the production. Producer surplus measures the benefit sellers receive from participating in a market” (p. 141). Contrary the consumer surplus which closely associates with the demand curve, producer surplus significantly depends upon the supply curve. Both consumer surplus and producer surplus serve as vital yardsticks of measuring the market efficiency which in turn defines the benefit of the buyers and sellers participating in the market. The following graph depicts the producer surplus.

Having understood the concept of producer surplus, an ...

With an ever changing technological know-how, the structure of management and leadership is bound to change (Wallace, Tolley-Stokes&Estep, 2011, pg 52).
