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…

Many emerging markets are littered with corruption, unfair labor standards, and further issues that, if left unchecked, can stop a country from ever having an established…

major and a 3.51 overall. I began my undergraduate studies at Radford University with a major in art education. This seemed like the most logical path that I could choose in order to share my passion for art. At the end of my junior year, I took an oil painting class in order to fulfill the general requirements for graduation. This class changed the entire direction of my college career and sparked a passion with a medium that I had never experienced…

carbon sink, protects the endangered animals within it, and contains bodies of water that are unspoiled by pollution. Unfortunately, beneath the flourish of life was the dark discovery of tar sands. Tar, or oil sands are composed of sand, water, clay, and bitumen- a thick, dark, and heavy oil. Because of its viscosity, bitumen needs to be lightened with a mixture of hydrocarbons to transport it through pipes. The mining of bitumen began in 1719 when it was first discovered, and small extractions…

The Wedding Dance Pieter Bruegel has “the Elder” attached to his name because, he is the eldest of the Flemish Renaissance painting Brueghel Dynasty. Pieter is at the top of that dynasty, and following in his footsteps to become painters are, his two sons, two grandsons, and one great grandson. There is one difference between them Pieter is the only one who left out the “h” in the family name Brueghel. Pieter Bruegel was a Netherlandish painter and much of his works provide a profound elemental…

The economy of Colombia is based on natural resources, primarily coal and crude oil. Colombia has a gross domestic product (GDP) at the official exchange rate of roughly $274.2 billion US dollars. As a commodity-based economy, there is a direct correlation between Colombia’s GDP and fluctuating coal and oil prices worldwide. Although this connection may seem to negatively impact their GDP, Colombia is an economically stable country when compared…

the painting passing by!) which is what forced me to pay closer attention to the Baroque styled painting of the seventeenth century. As I leaned in closer, (and began to really take notice of the paintings attributes), I realized that the deep rich oil shading wasn’t the only thing giving me the creeps – but the skeleton hanging above the two subjects of the painting. This painting seems to epitomize the popular baroque era Vanitas still life theme, incorporated in portraiture. Although painted…

He made railroad much better than it was by making it cheaper and efficient. He mastered…

During the years 1907-1908, “The Kiss” by Gustav Klimt was painted on canvas using oil and gold leaf. The current locate of the painting is Österreichische Galerie Belvedere in Vienna, Austria. In the painting a man and woman are embracing one another in an amorous way. The man seems to be initiating a kiss with the woman on the flowery cliff-like hill setting. My impression of the painting is romantic and intimate feeling when looking at the couple, and how they are exact opposite from one…
