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

Radio frequency Identification also known as RFID uses electromagnetic fields for the wireless transfer of data to automatically identify and track objects that have tags, containing electronic stored information, attached to them. In using RFID, the tag does not have to use a line of sight action as seen in some other such identification systems and can either be a passive or active transponder. An active transponder has its own power supply source while a passive transponder depends on the radio waves it receives for energy source.

Some common frequencies of operation and the read distance of RFID are shown in table 1.

What seems to be the cause of the conflict?

The core of the conflict is a toxic organizational culture, which has been allowed to emerge over overtime. An organizational culture comprises numerous aspects, key among them being communication, leadership, collective values, mission/vision, practices, diversity management, regulations/policies, place, and organizational narrative. The leadership failure created by the past operational manager, particularly his appointment of supervisors without a moral authority over the employees, resulted in a complete breakdown in leadership, which when coupled with the lack of formal policies (and best practices) in issues such as the use of radio and stringent recruitment checks, resulted into conflict, ill motivation, belligerency, ...

Cognitive radio means an intelligent and adaptive radio that knows its environment. Cognitive radio technology is a solution used to enhance utilization of spectrum enabling the users that are not licensed to exploit in an opportunistic way. Unlicensed users are considered as temporary on the spectrum that is licensed, and once a licensed user reclaims it they are expected to vacate. As a result of licensed users reclaiming the spectrum, there are disruptions in both unlicensed and licensed communications that are always difficult to prevent. To address these problems, a spectrum handoff structure is proposed for cognitive technology to ...
