...The Holocaust The holocaust was the mass murder of six million Jewish Europeans during World War Two. The Nazi Party in Germany, led by Adolf Hitler, exterminated about two thirds of the Jewish population residing in Europe. The Nazis placed the blame of all of Germany’s problems on the Jewish people. The Nazis referred to the holocaust as the “Final Solution to the Jewish Question.” This paper will discuss the terrible things that happened throughout the holocaust by the Nazi party to the Jewish population. The holocaust was not the first plan by the Nazis to get rid of the Jewish race in Europe. Their first plan was to deport all of the Jews to German colonies such as Tanganyika and South West Africa (90 facts). Hitler was against these places because he argued that no place where “so much blood of heroic Germans hath spilled” should be made available as a residence for the worst enemies of the Germans. Madagascar became the most seriously discussed location for a Jewish relocation. Madagascar was perfect because it was a remote location that had unfavorable conditions so it would hasten deaths. This plan was approved by Hitler in 1938 and was carried out until the mass murder began in 1941(Facts about the holocaust). This first step was an important psychological step on the path to the mass murders of the Holocaust. Concentration camps were where the Nazis kept Jews, political prisoners, criminals, homosexuals, gypsies, and the mentally disabled. These camps were founded...

SUBMITTED BY B.SIVASUBRAMANIAN, K.VIGNESHWARAN, PRE FINAL YEAR, PRE FINAL YEAR, MECHANICAL ENGINEERING PRODUCTION ENGINEERING CONTACT ADDRESS: ROOM NO:45, VAGAI ILLAM, GCT, COIMBATORE-13 CONTACT NO: 9994978256 E-MAIL ID: vickydegr8@gmail.com ADVANCES IN AUTOMOBILES Abstract In this manuscript, research on hydrogen internal combustion engines is discussed. The objective of this paper is to provide a means of renewable hydrogen based fuel utilization. The development of a high efficiency, low emissions electrical generator will lead to establishing a path for renewable hydrogen based fuel utilization. A full-scale prototype will be produced in collaboration with commercial manufacturers. The electrical generator is based on developed internal combustion engine technology. It is able to operate on many hydrogen-containing fuels. The efficiency and emissions are comparable to fuel cells (50% fuel to electricity, ~ 0 NOx). This electrical generator is applicable to both stationary power and hybrid vehicles. It also allows specific markets to utilize hydrogen economically and painlessly. Introduction Two motivators for the use of hydrogen as an energy carrier...

...Its objectives and effects have long been under careful examination and subject to many analyses. Prognoses varied, from potentially significant benefits to anticipated losses, particularly for US economy. The paper is an attempt at presenting the twenty years of NAFTA operation, predominantly from the viewpoint of its impact on the trilateral trade exchange, unemployment, inflation, and the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of its member states. The analyses suggest that NAFTA has proved its effectiveness in generating trade revenues for all its members, most notably for Mexico. However, its effects on individual income and employment were found to be marginal or, at best, moderate. Keywords: NAFTA, economic integration, trade effects, cross-country comparative studies.

...A Review of Literature Related to Oil Spill Dispersants 1997-2008 for Prince William Sound Regional Citizens’ Advisory Council (PWSRCAC) Anchorage, Alaska by Merv Fingas Spill Science Edmonton, Alberta PWSRCAC Contract Number - 955.08.03 Disclaimer: The opinions expressed in this PWSRCAC-commissioned report are not necessarily those of PWSRCAC September, 2008 ii Abstract This report is a review of the literature on oil spill dispersants published from 1997 to August, 2008. The report identifies and focusses on recent advances in dispersant effectiveness, toxicity, and biodegradation. Other topics such as application, use, behaviour and fate are also covered. The prime motivation for using dispersants is to reduce the impact of oil on shorelines, thus the application must be successful and effectiveness high. As some oil would come ashore, discussion remains on what effectiveness is required to significantly reduce the shoreline impact. A major issue is the actual effectiveness during spills so that these values can be used in estimates for the future. The second motivation for using dispersants is to reduce the impact on birds and mammals on the water surface. The benefits of using dispersants to reduce impacts on wildlife still remain unknown. The third motivation for using dispersants is to promote the biodegradation of oil in the water column. The effect of dispersants on biodegradation is still a matter of dispute. Some papers state that dispersants inhibit...
