Abstract

Recently, attention has been diverted to clean, alternative and renewable technologies due to the depletion of petroleum resources and increase of the green house gases from the combustion of fuel resources. Fuel cell is the fore-runner of these technologies and has received immense impetus due to its relatively clean source of energy. Fuel-cells are devices that produce electrical energy from chemical transformation reactions. Electrodes are placed within an electrolyte medium that facilitates oxidation of fuel. In these electrochemical reactions, ions are generated that generate electricity. This electrical energy can be effectively harnessed to carry out a myriad of functions. Since ...

Swahili is one of the best documented and most studied African languages and much work has been done in analyzing various aspects of the language. However, one area which has thus far been left unexplored is that of the syntactic elements of Relative Clause. To this end the paper will focus on by providing a detailed (though not exhaustive) analysis of relative clauses without attempting to grapple with morphology. This is done deliberately so that time is not wasted on restating too much previous research as morphology in Swahili is already a ...

Abstract

Communication plays a central role in any relationship whether personal or professional and effective communication strategies become more so important in a culturally diverse setup. Every culture is unique and people from different cultural backgrounds bring their own belief systems, work ethics, attitudes, values and biases to the workplace. An effective communication strategy would ensure that all these conflicting ideas and value systems are merged for the good of the employees as well as the company. Effective communication strategy in a culturally diverse group becomes more so important in an era of globalization and integration where interacting with different cultural groups has ...

The rediscovery of Mendel's works on heredity in 1900 became the foundation to investigate more on genetics. However, the acceleration of the study of genetics was slow, taking more than half a century later for Watson and Crick to crack the chemical basis of heredity. In fact, their proposal, the double helical structure of DNA, became the beginning of modern biology. Over the next 30 years, the advent of recombinant DNA technology allowed us to sequence specific DNA segments (Collins & McKusick, 2001). Note that mapping specific regions of a particular DNA offers explanations to many traits, including behaviors, disorders, ...

Within Plastec Company, there was registered a high rate of turnover in the production line, especially among women and minorities, which indicated an informal organizational behavior that influenced the former employees to resign. The informal organizational behavior was based on gendered or racist jokes and biased remarks upon these vulnerable groups. In addition to this reason for the high turnover at Plastec, employees also left the company because they felt that the benefits that they received inside this organization were lower than in other companies activating in the same area. These problems require a strategic compensation intervention, needed for addressing the ...

Following the American Psychology Association’s Guidelines

I first began to notice that the concept of learning is not an arbitrary thing to most people as I observed the education system. We begin school, we are taught, we learn, we graduate, and then that is the end. We are expected to find jobs and begin contributing to society; the learning has ended. This was a troubling concept. Why should we stop learning just because we have left school? In addition, why should school be the only place that we are learning? Are not there other ways to learn? We can learn through observing, philosophizing, and thinking for ...

Africa has traditionally been a continent of mixed fortunes, where real-life stories of hope and despair abound. African traditions, values and customs have been slowly influenced by colonization and eventual globalization that has turned the world into a global village. The novel, Things fall apart, is a reflection of the extent to which Africans were tied to their beliefs and customs, as a violation of those customs was regarded as being disrespectful to the gods. Resistance to the new values and beliefs as brought by the missionaries are resisted since the communities regard them as inclined on disrupting the ...
