The short-term relationship between inflation crises, poverty, and income distribution has been studied extensively in previous literature. Measuring 33 countries worldwide, Powers (1995), found that on average poverty had a negative correlation with inflation in the short-term. Her study concluded that, first, the poor tend to hold a majority of their financial assets in the form of cash rather interest-bearing assets; and second, the poor have less opportunity than the middle or upper classes…

Nuclear commercial applications would be glowing watches, exit signs, glowing key chains, glowing compasses, rifle sights, and runway markers. Many of these are here today from Tritium illumination. Tritium was predicted in the 1920s by a very smart man named, Walter Russell. Later on, in 1934, Tritium was produced by Ernest Rutherford, who had companions in the production named Mark Oliphant and Paul Harteck. He also needed some help with being able to isolate Tritium, so he also needed help…

The Iran nuclear agreement has been debated in recent months as both good and bad. The good that is suppose to come from it, I believe, is minor and the derogatory results are immense. First of all, it puts some limits on Iran’s Nuclear Programs but allows them to continue to enrich uranium. The Iran agreement claims that it is a great victory that Iran would have to reduce their stockpile of uranium by 98 percent but they can sell this enriched uranium to their neighbors and receive natural…

Energy sustainability has posed a great threat to most of the nations in the world today. Policy makers have researched and suggested on various methods that nations can utilize in order to sustain their energy resources without creating detrimental environmental setbacks or incurring huge costs. One of the various policies debated and researched about is the sustainabile energy policy. It advocates for a better approach towards renewable sources of energy, the diversification of energy…

Is Biomass a better source of energy than Geothermal for meeting Canada’s energy needs in the 21st century? Biomass is biological material obtained from living or recently living (dead) plant or animal matter such as trees or waste that can be processed into fuel and heat. While geothermal energy is produced by obtaining the heat from the earth’s core but currently has no developed sites in Canada. We believe that biomass is a better energy source than geothermal power for meeting Canada’s…

adolescence. There are many stages within each area of development that include social, cognitive, physical and psychological. Social development refers to how people develop social and emotional skills across their lifespan and as we mature, we can have a better understanding about our feeling and the way we choose to deal with certain matters. Cognitive development is our thought processes and how we solve problems in situations. Physical development refers to the person’s growth from infancy…

No, nuclear power should not be considered as a source of energy but, what is done is done. Nuclear power will be considered as a source of energy and nothing can turn back time. One of the reasons nuclear power absolutely should not be an option is because all things need to be experimented with, modified, changed, redone for something to work properly. At times those things you thought would work do not and those things fail horribly. After all the math done, you still don’t know what will…

Oil is usually found deep under ground, but the greater Los Angeles area up through the Santa Barbara area is one of a few places in the world where oil is not just close to the surface, it is on the surface, bubbling in cold pits of bitumen, also known as asphalt and tar. This asphaltum has been important to humans for as long as they have lived in the region. In the past it was primarily used to waterproof boats, water carriers, and cooking vessels or as an adhesive. Now, of course we use…

In 2014, the US alone used 98.324 quadrillion BTUs of energy. Roughly 82% of that was fossil fuels. Renewable resources accounted for 10%, including solar, wind, hydroelectric, and more, and the remaining 8% was nuclear power. This energy was used to do everything from power our televisions to turn on our lightbulbs. Unfortunately, our reliance on fossil fuels brings with it serious side effects, including global warming. Because of these issues, a variety of alternative energy sources has been…
