Plastic is used in many man-made items, which are used in people’s everyday lives. Since only 9% of plastic is properly recycled, the majority of plastic waste either “accumulates in landfills” or gets dumped into the ocean and other natural environments (Parker, L., 2017). There are multiple reasons why plastic ends up in the ocean. Some examples include, people do not properly recycle plastic, small plastic particles go down sink drains, and it is cheaper for companies to dump all of their…
The main trunk railway of North Island was completed in 1908, during that time to be able to provide housing to workers, a factory was established in Hamilton in 1922 to build relocatable houses. For this reason, this type of houses is called Railways Cottage. ("Bungalow | BRANZ Renovate", 2017) To be able to get the best result of refurbishment of this house, study towards the plan and features to construct the house must be done thoroughly to identify and rectify the mistakes that had been…
With the recent advances in the economic and industrial sectors in India, the energy demand has been reaching its peak. The conventional methods of power generation using fossil fuels are not only adequate, but also leading to environmental pollution. The predominance of fossil fuels in Indian electric power generation leads to 40 percent contribution to the total carbon emissions cite{Ghosh02}. So in order to suffice the growing energy demand with minimal emission of the greenhouse gas (GHG),…
Anchor institutes are enterprises which are firmly rooted in their communities and typically non-profit organizations such as universities and hospitals (Taylor & Luter, 2013). They have a deep seeded interest in their community, to ensure the safety and health of its members, and perseverance of success of their community. As shown by Taylor and Luter, anchor institutes contain four aspects: “spatial immobility, corporate status, size and the anchor mission: social purpose, democracy and…
Acid rain is a precipitation which falls from the atmosphere to Earth. It contains a high level of nitrous oxide and sulphur dioxide. When they ge tin contact with water they transform to acid in the atmosphere, and then this acid is carried away by the wind thousaands of miles away from where they were created. The acidity is measured with the potential hydrogen (pH) on a scale from 0-14. The pH scale is a logarythmic measure which means that every change in pH is counted in the amount times…
Our enterprise began seven years to the date beyond the treacherous malfeasance, of a madman called, “Ripper.” His haunt extended from Whitechapel to Pall Mall, preying on the working-class woman. By comparison, this brutal display of carnage progressed unrivalled, since Scotland Yard expunged the Fleet Street tonsorial and his bawdy innkeeper. Yet, Never a man nor beast more dreadful walk the prestigious Isle of Great Britain, than the monster we'd come to extirpate. The killings had…
America’s “fear of crime” has led to today’s warehouse prisons, entrusted to enclose underclass minority groups, systematically caught in a symbiosis of the ghetto and prison; both, institutions of forced confinement designed to neutralize the threat outcasts pose to society (Wacquant, 2010). This, then, has developed a state, whereas the symbiotic relationship between the ghetto and the criminal justice system are the instruments by which the elite control the poor. Largely, due to…
Chapter-III OPERATING PRINIPLE AND LOSSES IN PEM FUEL CELL The polymer membrane is the heart of the PEM fuel cell which has some unique features. It allows protons but it is impermeable to gases, and hence it is known as a Proton Exchange Membrane. The membrane, which is squeezed between two electrodes (electrically conductive carbon cloths or carbon fiber papers) acts as electrolyte. A layer of catalyst particles (platinum) is placed at the interface between the porous electrode and polymer…
In the next 35 years, global electricity demand is estimated to have increased by a factor of 2.5, and at the same time the world faces environmental threats caused by polluting emissions. Nuclear energy presents the opportunity to meet a great deal of the predicted increase in electricity demand, in combination with a reduction of the polluting emissions (Salvatores 1). The use of these nuclear plants rests with the people if we look back at why production of these plants stopped the people had…
