Epic war films are genres focusing on battles either on land, water, or air. Their themes may be military operations, undercover operations, prisoner rescues, or even personal revenges. Hence, the genre may be based on a true story, fictional, historical, or a docudrama.

They are: focus on collective goals, as opposed to individual ones, absence of human morality during war times, recuperation of veterans shown, and either rivalry between groups of men or objectification of women. Also, Caldwell (123) Continue reading...

The findings of the study indicated that “social security spending only depresses saving in countries with high savings rates.” However, Rochelle also concluded that social security does not essentially reduce savings in every country. Consequently, these results imply that it is not necessary to have social security programs in all countries. In countries with low saving rates, a compulsory saving plan will make sure that people save for their Continue reading...

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Ethernet has been termed as the most ubiquitous networking interface in the world. Almost all traffic passes through multiple Ethernet links. The point is that majority of the Ethernet links spend time while idle waiting between packets of data transfer, but consuming power at a near constant rate. In fact, on average, 10% of all IT power is consumed by network devices and network interfaces translating to tens of TeraWatts hour per year. A solution lies in the design of green networks which consume minimal power while idle without losing their functionality. In this research paper, Energy Efficient Ethernet Continue reading...
