Thirdly, the mines might face chemical leakage, an act that may cause decomposition of rocks and depletion of the important resources in mines. Moreover, mines are prone to dust, that will lead to blocking of the extraction process, by occupying the region, or causing ...

Background

Successful modern business marketing lays emphasis on meeting the needs of the customers. This focus is a departure in the opposite direction from the traditional business whose major concern was selling its products or services. Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is one way of meeting not only the direct customers’ desires but also the needs and expectations of all the stakeholders of a business (Ortenblad 2016). Unethical profiteering practices of large companies and customer awareness due to free flow of information have forced many companies to make CSR a key strategic focus in their conduct of business. Besides enabling a ...

Payment methods and technologies have shifted a great deal over the years. Gone are the days where cash and check transactions make up the bulk of the give and take that occurs when people engage in commerce, travel and otherwise spend their money.

The first major alternative to the conventional credit cards and other more traditional methods was PayPal (PayPal, 2017). However, smartphone-enabled technologies such as Apple Pay, Samsung Pay and Android Pay are starting to dominate the commerce and ...

Population dynamics is a central area of study in most humanities. Demographic trends seem to indicate that the global population would increase in the future.

The first major reason why the population would decrease is the birth rate. Since the industrial revolution, the world population has been growing steadily. However, according to Friedman (2015), the population explosion ...

The Culture of Fashion

With special attention to decadism, Breward overviews the changes in fashion trends in the beginning of the twentieth century (184-185).

The author highlights the importance of fashion’s temporality in organizing the chronology of the history of fashion. Particularly with this art, time frames may be easily outlined by months, years, or decades with high degree of accuracy. Therefore, fashion is described as a “cultural clock”, which is unconnected ...

Solar energy harnessing through the use of solar panels installed in small homes presents better alternative to the hydroelectric provided through the national grid. While the use of solar panels may provide several advantages over the use of hydroelectricity, its usage presents several pitfalls to the user. It is imperative to investigate and outline the possible costs and advantages associated with the use of solar panels as a source of harnessing solar energy before installation is started. In most cases, the decisions concerning the installation of solar panels as the primary source of electricity are normally based on the ...

“Governments should paly active roles in managing short run instability caused by

Unemployment and inflation problems” Introduction The reverse of the above statement is true, whereby if governments do not play an active role in fighting inflation and unemployment, the adverse effects associated with these two economic eventualities do sometimes dissipate on their own. Therefore, this paper agrees with the above statement, but will also attempt to show that various economic solutions to the short run instability which is associated with unemployment and inflation can sometimes lead to a worsening of the situation at hand, rather than its subsequent improvements (Quiggin, 2012, pg.13).

Introduction

A refrigerator is an electrical device used in temperature maintenance below ambient temperatures. To achieve this function, the refrigerator should be able to create a heat sink at cold room temperatures a temperature that should be lower than the ambient temperature while at the same time also rejecting heats having higher temperatures than the ambient temperatures. To achieve this refrigerant is forced to undergo evaporation at temperatures lower than the ambient temperature(Griffiths, 1937). When the refrigerant is compressed at high pressure and condensing temperatures above the ambient temperature results in the loss of heat and condensation back to ...

Disruptive technology disrupts the status quo of the market, changes the way people live and work, and rearranges the pool of values. This inevitably forces other companies to either change the way that they approach their businesses or risk losing market ...

INTRODUCTION This experiment aims to verify Bernoulli’s equation that relates the pressure and the velocity of a fluid. The aims of the experiment are: A venturi meter is a device used in fluid measurements. It uses a converging section of a pipe in order to change fluid velocity or pressure. The venturi meter in this experiment is used several times to estimate flow rates and measure piezometric head values at different points along the venturi meter. The fluid used in this experiment is water. Bernoulli’s equation is a mathematical model for ideal fluids. Because of this, the ...

Some of the non-native speakers tend to learn new language faster, the others retain the traces of native language in their patterns of pronunciation through the years. This may root in different factors, such as the duration of practice in new language, ...
