They possess the ability to de-clutter their lives as they are able to systematically make better decisions, and in doing so reducing the time taken by them to do every day mundane tasks. The famous quote by Sir Francis Bacon “knowledge is power” (Meditationes Sacræ. De Hæresibus) is not as superficial as people may give it credit for. Power in this context refers to our ability to carry out our will and desire. Knowledgeable people give precedence to rationality as opposed to emotions while…

1. Introduction It is becoming increasingly difficult to ignore the importance of zeolites, especially aluminum rich ones including A, X and Y types [1]. Y zeolite is widely used as catalyst or catalyst support but a proper post treatment process such as dealumination should be carried out [2, 3] to increase Si to Al molar ratio to values over 3, which is not achievable through direct synthesis [4]. Zeolite dealumination was introduced regarding instability of the framework in acidic and aqueous…

UNICEF (United Nations International Children Emergency Fund) is available world-wide to provide aid or response to developing countries during natural disasters such as tsunamis, floods, earthquakes or tornadoes. The main objective of the United Nation’s program is to provide relief for women and children in need. Natural disasters are unpredictable and can happen at any given time.

In institutions, the quality of care has been far from acceptable over the years and has caused traumatic…

stable one, while tritium has a half-life of roughly twelve years, making it slightly radioactive (Unterweger et al.; Wanjek). However, tritium has a higher binding energy than deuterium making it a more efficient fuel (Watkins). The deuterium-tritium reaction has a yield of roughly 17.6 MeV whereas the deuterium-deuterium reaction only has a yield of about 3.65 MeV. Still, the DT reaction has its disadvantages. For one, in the DT reaction about 80% of the energy is stored in a high-energy…
