...THE PERCEPTION OF THE HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS OF PALAWAN HOPE CHRISTIAN SCHOOL SY 2012-2013 REGARDING THE USAGE OF EBOOK A Thesis Presented to the English Department of Palawan Hope Christian School In Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements in Grammar and Composition III By: Adrian Angelo A. Fernandez March 2012 Chapter 1 THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND Our study is about “The Perception of the High School Students of Palawan Hope Christian School SY 2012-2013 regarding the usage of ebook”. An electronic book (variously, e-book, ebook, digital book) is a book-length publication in digital form, consisting of text, images, or both, and produced on, published through, and readable on computers or other electronic devices. Sometimes the equivalent of a conventional printed book, e-books can also be born digital. The Oxford Dictionary of English defines the e-book as “an electronic version of a printed book, but e-books can and do exist without any printed equivalent. E-books are usually read on dedicated e-book readers. Personal computers and some mobile phones can also be used to read e-books. Students now experiencing difficulty in bringing many books in school, e-book becomes very useful now days because it’s a digital device that contains various books in this device. We will know how this device will affect the students when they start to use and know this device. This device is too expensive to buy, but this will affect students of bringing their heavy books...

...uk Abstract — The service-oriented computing paradigm and its application to support e-Infrastructures offers, at least in principle, the opportunity to realise platforms for multi- and inter-disciplinary research. Augmenting the service-oriented model for e-Research are mechanisms for services to be coupled and enacted in a coordinated manner through workflow environments. Typically workflows capture a research process that can be shared and repeated by others. However, existing models of workflow definition and enactment assume that services are directly available and can be accessed and invoked by arbitrary users or enactment engines. In more security-oriented domains, such assumptions rarely hold true. Rather in many domains, service providers demand to be autonomous and define and enforce their own service / resource access control using locally defined policy enforcement points (PEP) and policy decision points (PDP) which allow access and usage of resources to be strictly monitored and enforced. In this paper, we outline how it is possible to support security-oriented workflow definition and enactment through chaining of PDPs to support “workfloworiented” access control. To demonstrate this, we focus on a case study taken from the Economic and Social Science Research Council (ESRC) funded Data Management through e-Social Science (DAMES – www.dames.org.uk) project in the area of depression, self-harm and suicide. Keywords: Workflows, social sciences, security I. INTRODUCTION...

Air pollution? Do not worry. Already a car powered by electricity or eco-gasoline or even grass. Water pollution? Do not worry. Already advanced wastewater treatment technologies. So what if the pollution is caused by the consumption of plastic bags? Not easy to answer. Let’s stand in the shoes of a public economist. The consumption of plastic bags brings a lot of benefits for everyone. If you are a manufacturer of plastic bags, you will get a lot of money as your profit. If you are a consumer of plastic bags, you will be satisfied with the benefits that they bring you. They are cheap, very light and of course, very easy to throw away after used. Now the problem has arisen. Have you ever wondered where plastic bags will be after discarded? We can say for sure that they do not disappear. They stay and pollute the environment. Environment Commissioner Janez Potocnik used to say: "The impact of this plastic waste can be seen...

(HOD, Chemistry Department, Unilag) Date DEDICATION AKNOWLEDGEMENT ABSTRACT ABSTRACT This study examines the overview and the concepts of household waste sorting – waste prevention, collection, recycling and reuse, followed by household analysis using empirical data. The analysis shows the average mean weight composition of household waste sortingat source ranges from 0.50kg to 0.63kg paper, 2.21kg to 3.29kg putrescibles, 0.85kg to 1.41kg glass, 0.52kg to 0.68 plastic and 0.89kg to 1.20kg cans. The average percentage composition of wastes ranges from 10% paper to 45% putrescibles. From the analysis, there is a low level of household awareness about the preparedness of household waste sorting at source, and hence low level of participation in household waste sorting, disposal and recycling. The study also concludes the need for strengthening the relationship...

...confidentiality and system security, organizations must adopt an approach that is both holistic and proactive. This decision traditionally involves an evaluation of the business processes involved, assessment of compliance with regulations and standards, and the identification of information systems and technology capability. Cloud Computing has become one of the most discussed and sought after solutions for dealing with such challenges. According to IDC Cloud, research suggests that IT Cloud Services spending will reach $47.4 billion in 2013 and is expected to be more than $107 billion in 2017 with an annual growth rate of 23.5 percent, five times that of the industry (IDC, 2013). Cloud Computing is a resourceful model that allows enterprises to accelerate innovation, decrease infrastructure costs, improve resource utilization, and greater ability to manage information technology security (PwC, 2010). The “Cloud” refers to the Internet, a collection of interconnected networks that communicate with each other, and it can be accessed globally. Cloud Computing employs network resources to deliver services entirely online. The National Institute of Standards and Technology defines Cloud Computing as: “A model for enabling ubiquitous, convenient, on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources (e.g., networks, servers, storage, applications, and services) that can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort or service provider...

...IMPLEMENTATION OF ENERGY EFFICIENCT AND RENEWABLE ENERGY TECHNOLOGIES TOWARDS ACHIEVING ZERO ENERGY BUILDINGS ABSTRACT As the energy consumption, industrial production and automobile usage around the world increases gradually, the efforts to meet the steadily increasing energy demand would leave the environment devastated. Traditional buildings consume as much as 40% of the primary energy consumed worldwide and are major contributors for greenhouse gases. Hence, with the intention of reducing the energy usage which reduces the environmental pollution energy efficient measures have been introduced. The goal of these measures is to decrease the energy use of the building substantially and provide the building's energy needs with on-site renewable energy supply like Photovoltaics. This results in a concept called Net zero energy buildings or Zero Energy Buildings. Zero energy building (ZEB) is a building with zero energy consumption i.e., it consumes only the amount of energy generated by the renewable power on the building site. NZEBs produce zero carbon emissions annually as various renewable energy technologies are deployed on the building site. This paper addresses the energy efficient measures that can be implemented to cut down the power consumption. The energy efficient features implemented in ZEBs for energy savings is justified with a case study. I. INTRODUCTION The environmental effects that Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions across countries at different levels...
