In the ancient times, there were many civilizations around the world, but all of them managed to develop independently. In spite of the fact that the world is so diverse and the West seems to be too far from the East, different parts of the world have a lot in common. However, it is extremely hard to trace the common themes between the West and the East when it comes to religions without concentrating on their differences first. This paper is going to focus on the differences in the role of the prophets between the biggest religions of the ...

1.0 Introduction Citi Group (Citi) has taken a bad hit during the financial crisis in 2008, which it continues to shoulder today, almost a decade later.

The succeeding sections explored this journey of challenges and promises as clearly as possible. 2.0 Mission and Vision: Impact to Primary Stakeholders Citi’s vision and mission focuses on the customer as a financial services ...

Solar Energy

Solar Energy Background What can be more useful for humanity if not an unlimited power source, which we can use without any harm to the environment? Probably nothing, but solar power. Humanity has always tried to conquer the unlimited power of the sun – the history of solar technology dates back to the 7th Century B.C. and continues to this day. In the beginning, we tried to concentrate the sun’s heat by using glass, mirrors or other devices to light fires. From those times, we greatly progressed, but still we did not conquer this magnificent source of power. Why ...

Abstract This research project aims to establish how the organization can increase its competitive advantage by requiring supply chain vendors to meet ENOC’s standards. A qualitative research methodology was used, and the research design is to carry out semi-structured interviews over the telephone. The semi-structured interview allowed interviewees to expand on their thoughts and experiences while the researcher guides the conversation to say on the topic. Interviews were performed over the telephone with employees at ENOC and employs with ENOC’s supply chain vendors to collect data. The data analysis was carried out by evaluating the results of ...

Use of Fossil Fuels for Power Generation and the Need for Renewable Energy

According to Nelson (2011), more than 85% of the world’s energy consumption, which is estimated at 520 exajoules, is generated through the burning of fossil fuels such as petroleum, natural gas and coal (p.19). Electric power generation from non-renewable sources will, unequivocally, result in their exhaustion and creation of a major energy crisis. For this reason, it appears primordial to shift in a greater scale to alternate power generation, such as solar, wind, hydroelectric, etc. Amongst these, Sorensen (2011) explains that though hydroelectric power does represent one of the major forms of power generation, its growth is stagnant ...

Solar Power Generation

Sustainable Technology – Solar Power Generation Power Generation from Fossil Fuels and Global Warming Global warming, as defined by Lineman, Do, Kim and Joo (2015), is the long-term trend of increasing average temperature of the lower atmosphere. It is widely known that this phenomenon is related to the concentration of greenhouse gases that trap heat in the atmosphere, such as carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, among others. Activities related to human development such as industrial processes, agriculture, cattle raising for meat consumption, transportation, deforestation and power generation are the major causes of greenhouse gases emissions. Specifically, power generation based on ...

            The generation of electric power through the exploitation of fossil fuels, such as coal, oil and natural gas, is one of the main factors influencing climate change due to the greenhouse gases emissions resulting from the process. In consideration, there is an increasing need to shift towards systems of power generation derived from renewable sources, which have a significantly lower environmental impact; among these are solar, wind, geothermal, hydraulic and ocean power generation. This essay will focus on solar power generation. The energy contained in sunlight can be converted into electricity through the use of Concentrated Solar Power systems ( ...
