Introduction

There are environmental chemical processes which require light to react. These processes are called photochemical reactions. Photochemical reaction is commonly initiated due to the absorption of solar energy or light. When molecules absorb energy in the form of light, the atoms are converted in a transient excited state (Larson & Weber, 1994). This transition state or excited has completely different physical and chemical properties with the initial state of the molecule. The excited states also have more tendencies to react since they are considered stronger acids and stronger reductants that the initial state of the molecule. The excited state of ...

Introduction
A hybrid car is a car used to drive the drive wheels more than one source of energy.
Modern car manufacturers often resort to sharing of the internal combustion engine and an electric motor, which avoids the mode of the internal combustion engine in low loads, and also to realize the recovery of kinetic energy, increasing the fuel efficiency of the power plant. Another common type of hybrids is vehicles, in which ICE is combined with engines running on compressed air.

It should be distinguished from hybrids vehicles with electro-mechanical transmission, such as locomotives, some tractors and tanks.

Intrusion detection and prevention systems are the most reliable form of securing APT incidences and the overall security of the information infrastructure. This is because, unlike susceptibility and management systems and IT infrastructure support, they have the capacity to detect occurrences of APT and subsequently prevent damage to the computer systems. Firewalls are supposed to block illicit impound traffic, but in most instances, they do not succeed. Intrusion detection and prevention systems have the capability to detect and catch threats missed by the firewalls. Susceptibility management systems are used to identify, remediate and mitigate vulnerabilities in computer networks but ...
