Demand Side Management in Microgrids For some time now, there has been growing concern about the continuous consumption of fossil fuels, coupled with issues of environmental depletion and low energy efficiency for electricity power generation and use. This has increased the use of alternative energy resources (wind, biomass, solar and hydro systems) in forms of distributed energy resources (DERs) or distributed generators (DGs) [1]. However, these distributed generators come with safe and…
whole serves as a public service announcement in order to raise awareness to the government and business to ensure the economic problem is addressed. All in all, the political cartoon expresses the pressing economic issues regarding the unequal distribution of wealth leading to the disappearance of the middle class. The cartoonist provides a wide range of symbols, historical backgrounds, and stereotypes to illustrate the struggle of poverty citizens of the United States must…
structure of inequality has changed since the nineteenth century regarding labor and wealth. The central theme of part three is that wealth is unevenly distributed compared to income. On page 267, [Piketty] makes a powerful statement regarding the distribution of wealth. [Piketty] states, “… the growth of a true “patrimonial middle class” was the principal structural transformation of the allocation of wealth in the developed countries in the twentieth century. The upper 10 percent of the labor…
The top 30 wealthiest Americans own so much, they own more than half the population of the U.S. (Paul Buchheit/Alternet). That is proof that there is inequality still in today's society. The western world has made a great effort since the middle ages, but we still have things like gender inequality, income inequality, and political inequality. You might not think about it, but there is a lot of gender inequality in today’s society. Believe it or not, but in some places, women can't even drive.…
Inequality is increasingly at the forefront of public debate. After seven years, global economies today continue to struggle for recovery from the 2007-2009 Great Recession. Rising inequality is not a new issue, yet the subject and its distribution has been continuously marginalized in the field of mainstream economics. Perhaps it is due to inconsistent views of what economic inequality is, its level of economic consequences, and when inequality becomes unjustified. As a famous economic…
The inequality in income distribution leads to disagreement between people within a society. Krugman explains that income inequality has damaged the social and economic growth. He claims that “Income inequality inevitably brings vast social inequality” (Krugman 563), in which low income families cannot afford health care: “they are more likely to have health problems that derail their life chances” (567). Health outcomes seem to be related to the income distribution, in which people with high…
Growing up in the suburbs of Washington DC where communities are lined with beautiful colonial homes, manicured yards, new neighborhoods and shopping malls springing up everywhere, I could never argue with the fact that we are in fact living in the best of times in terms of prosperity and our access to means and resources for a comfortable life. It supported my belief that hard work is the truest path to American Dream, which I have personally witnessed in my own family. However, a recent visit…
We can easily convert this into Cartesian form by replacing z by x+iy |(x+iy)-(-3 +2i)|=5 |(x+3) + i(y-2)|=5 √(〖(x+3)〗^2+〖(y-2)〗^2 ) =5 or 〖(x+3)〗^2+〖(y-2)〗^2=25 Which is the exact form of a Cartesian equation of a circle with a center of (-3, 2) and a radius of 5 We could check if a particular point lies on the circle Ex. z2=1-3i Substituting into the equation of the circle, with z replaced by z2=1-3i |(1-3i) - (-3 + 2i)|=5 |4-5i|=5 √(4^2+〖(-5)〗^2 ) =5 41=5, which is not true, thus z2 does not…
The height of an NBA basketball hoop is 10 feet above the ground. The backboards are 72 inches wide and 42inches in height. Another thing is the inner rectangle on the inside of the backboard that you are told to aim for when shooting which is 24 inches wide and 18 inches tall. Also all basketball rims are 18 inches in diameter. The actual basketballs used are about 9.55 inches in diameter. This leaves around 8.5 inches for the ball the go into the net. I would have 8 different spots around…
“God Damnit Kendrick you did it again” Noah said with my headphones on listening to “To Pimp a Butterfly” for the first time with Alexis and I in our third period rotation class. The moment that had the most impact on me was meeting Alexis and Noah. This happened when I was in seventh grade and we all had the same third period which was rotation. I had sat next to Noah as we have last names that all close alphabetically. While the first few days we did not talk as we did not know each other but…
