...The Oil, Gas, and Consumable Fuels Industry is one of the world’s leading profit making industries. The industry is very vertically integrated with many multinational companies present in the industry. The oil, gas, and consumable fuels industry is not very tough to enter as it is fragmented with many distributors around the globe, although there are a few top distributors including Exxon Mobile, Shell, and BP. Most of the distributor’s fuels are supplied by very large top competitors who make up over a 50% share of the industry. Suppliers include Halliburton, Schlumberger, and Smith International which all have corporate headquarters based out of Texas, although they extract oil from locations around the world (EBR_EBdaily,2010). Potential entrant for the Oil industry include, new innovative forms of fuels which, aim to protect the environment and decrease costs. New technological advances in wind energy, also prove to be a threat as consumers are looking for a more earth friendly way of living. Extensive research by top competitors also poses a threat to the industry. Increased use of bio fuels is becoming extensively popular in many agricultural parts of the world. It is low in cost and emits less pollution in our economy. Substitutes in the energy industry include Wind, Water, Solar, geo-thermal, and bio fuels. Wind energy has become increasingly popular in the recent years and has gained a large share of the market, it is a source of energy that is free, but as other...

...or invent some new as-of-yet undiscovered method. Until that time, energy conservation is not just a good idea, it is a necessity. 1. The Population Explosion and Power Usage As the world’s population gets closer to the seven trillion mark (estimate as of April 2011 is 6,911,382,8582), the demand for power increases exponentially. The added strain on the generation facilities is causing rolling blackouts, or “brown outs”, in some cities. The situation is further strained in the summer time, when millions of people turn on their air conditioners to combat the hot weather. Modern electronic conveniences and luxuries also add to the problem. The power systems used in most countries of the world rely on coal, gas, oil, nuclear, and hydropower to turn generators and produce electricity. The problem with these...

...The concept of risk is the probability of an unwanted event which may or may not occur. Risk assessment is the overall process of identifying all the risks to and from an activity and assessing the potential impact of each risk. BBC News website, Radioactive warning on Fife beach read at [1] on 14 May 2006 - Sepa has been carrying out a risk assessment at the bay and now wants a detailed investigation to be carried out. The determination of the potential impact of an individual risk by assessing both the likelihood that it will occur and the impact if it should occur, and then combining the result according to an agreed rule to give a single measure of potential impact. In order to determine the risks, a risk assessment can typically be completed in four basic steps. The four basic steps are: hazard identification, exposure assessment, dose-response assessment, and risk characterization. Hazard identification is the process when scientists examine peer-reviewed studies of effects in humans, and laboratory animals, to determine the types of health problems a chemical can cause. Furthermore in this step there is an evaluation of the nature and strength of the evidence of causation between a chemical and its effect. In exposure assessment, scientists estimate the amount, frequency, and duration of exposure to a chemical. They often use environmental monitoring data and mathematical models to estimate exposures. Scientists also evaluate the route of exposure and any other scenario-specific...

...3y En THEME: THE BOMB Written paper for 25 August 2011: Answer all questions 1. Find information about Hiroshima. Hiroshima is city in Japan. Hiroshima gained city status on April 1st 1889. The United States dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima. That was the first bomb to ever be dropped on a city. The bomb was dropped on a Monday, August 6, 1945. The Bomb, named Enola gay, directly killed an estimated 80,000 people. Therefor was the city very radioactive in its time and still is. About 90.000-140.000 was injured and radioactive after the bomb. Hiroshima became designated on April 1st 1980. Hiroshima is the largest city in the Chūgoku region. The city's current mayor since April 2011 is Kazumi Matsui. 2. Read and compare the two poems about Hiroshima, “Give Back the Human” by Sankichi Toge and the extract from “Hiroshima Peace Park” by Colleen Keating, an Australian: a. Give examples of characteristic stylistic features in both poems b. Which poem is more powerful in your opinion? Justify your answer. We can begin saying that the poem from Sankichi Toge is a poem written just after the disaster. And the poem from Colleen Keating is written 60 years later. The poem from Toge is very simple in its language, but very strong in my opinion, because it is so direct. It does say “give back my…” but what it’s really saying is that, don’t kill civilians, they are families and friends. While the other poem just is describing what happens and what’s going on and like in the...

...The Problem at Reactor Number Three There are many dangerous effects of an overheated nuclear reactor. It can lead to a huge nuclear meltdown such as the Chernobyl disaster in Ukraine, killing thousands and affecting millions. It can also have a much more minimal effect, still being very serious. A minimal overheating of reactor number three is exactly what happened at the Oconee Power Plant last Tuesday. This report will reveal the causes for this disaster. While not trying to blame anything or anyone for this occurrence, it is important to know how it occurred. Nuclear power plants run at excessively high temperatures. For this reason they are built close to a body of water which is used to cool down the blazing reactors. The Oconee plant is built beside the deep waters of Lake Keowee. This fall was preceded by drought with extremely high temperatures. This lack in rainfall accompanied by the above-average temperatures lowered the water level in Lake Keowee by twenty-five feet and raised the average temperature of the water by eleven degrees Fahrenheit. While the low level and high temperature of the water could not, by itself, allow the reactor to overheat, it did force the water cooling pumps to work harder and slower. This did not provide for the preferable amount or temperature of water to flow. The radio-active uranium used to create electricity is where the heat of a nuclear reactor comes from. The more uranium present leads to more heat to be dealt with but more...

...Electricity Generation by Hybrid Biomass Power Plant From Waste For Bangladesh Md. Rakibul Islam Monshy Department of Electric Engineering & Computer Science North South University, Dhaka Abstract- Hybrid renewable Biomass Power is becoming popular for remote area power generation applications due to advances in renewable energy technologies and subsequent rise in prices of petroleum products. A hybrid energy system usually consists of two or more renewable energy sources used together to provide increased system efficiency as well as greater balance in energy supply. Hybrid renewable energy systems is one of the most promising applications of renewable energy technologies in remote areas, where the cost of grid extension is prohibitive and the price of fossil fuels increase drastically with the remoteness of the location. It has been demonstrated that hybrid energy systems can significantly reduce the total life-cycle cost of stand-alone power supplies in many situations, while at the same time providing a more reliable supply of electricity through the combination of energy sources. Applications of hybrid systems range from small power supplies for remote households providing electricity for lighting or water pumping and water supply to village electrification for remote communities. Mixed combinations of renewable energy systems are also possible, that is applications where different renewable energy technologies are applied in one location without the systems being...

... of speech and of the press. Since these two systems of government are diametrically opposed to one another, there can be little compromise between the United States and the Soviet Union. The United States wanted to encourage free trade throughout the world. The Soviet Union wanted to shield off her own sphere from international commerce. “Russia feared that trade with the West would involve the risk of Russia being opened to western influences which would have eroded the strength of the totalitarian regime”. (FunFront.net). The differences between the United States and Soviet Union led to much animosity between the United States and the Soviet Union. The American people had been threatened by the Soviet Union; with the scare of the nuclear weapons, atomic bombs this meant that millions of American people would be killed, they had the capability of slaughtering tens of millions of Americans. This was a bad time for the American people especially when the draft begun, no one knew what was really going on. Families were in turmoil their families were being interrupted by and their young sons, brothers and husbands were being drafted. America was faced with a dilemma and no one knew the real reason behind it all. Family is important in our lives, and I...

...Cold War and Communism HIS/135 Suzanne Ogden Jordan Billings October 6, 2012 To be under that kind of stress had to wreak havoc on children’s subconscious. I can’t imagine believing that these techniques would protect me from a bomb of that magnitude. I am sure if I had grown up when the government restricted us from information about atomic bombs I would have believed anything. As citizens back then we were led to believe that things would be ok because the government made a video that taught us that duck and cover would somehow save us from harm. This is comparable to what we see on the media everyday about upgraded airport security making our airway travel safer since 9/11. Another very comparable idea now as there was during the cold war would be color coded terror threat level charts. This could be compared to the cold war eras Defcom charts in which the number or color during the terror threat times we have now changes according to the threat level against the United states and its citizens. The United States has always kept list of people they have viewed as a threat. During the cold war error they kept a list of communist or communist sympathizers which was monitored by the FBI. During the era we are in now our government keeps a similar list of people whom they view to be terrorist or possible terrorist sympathizers. One major similarity between the two lists is that you can be on the list just for voicing out your disagreements with how...

(201103025) WMBA, 1st Batch. Date :: 11.07.2012. Institute of Business Administration, Jahangirnagar University. Flame Virus Introduction : Flame virus is a more sophisticated weapon to get behind the enemies line than sending arms, ammunitions, soldiers. It’s a silent agent which kills the security of any computer, enter into it & steal valuable information from that. The virus is doing cyber espionage in Middle Eastern Countries. History : Flame was discovered first in May 2012 by MAHER Center of Iranian National CERT, Kaspersky Lab and CrySyS Lab (Laboratory of Cryptography and System Security) of the Budapest University of Technology and Economics. (Wikipedia, 2012) It has discovered that a module from the early 2009-version of Stuxnet, known as “Resource 207,” was actually a Flame plugin.This means that when the Stuxnet worm was created in the beginning of 2009, the Flame platform already existed, and that in 2009, the source code of at least one module of Flame was used in Stuxnet. (About Us: Kaspersky, 2012) Key Features: 1. Size—20MB, which is huge for a malware program. 2. The malware uses five different encryption methods and a SQlite...

...Eerily, it seems that during the Cold War and the War on Terror, many of the feelings that citizens felt were the same, but what America called the enemy was different. Following the September 11th attacks, there was a feeling of paranoia felt throughout America similar to the paranoia felt during the Cold War. Americans did not feel safe, and an attack could come at any time. The fight on the home front looked different during the Cold War and the War on Terrorism. During the Cold War there was more of a correlation between fighting Communism, and buying consumer goods. During the war on terrorism Americans were asked to give up some of their rights in order to maintain their safety. There is an abundance of similarities between the Cold War and the War and Terror. In Echoes of the Cold War, Elaine Tyler May says, “The war against terrorism, like the struggle against Communism, defines the enemy as a worldwide conspiracy…with operatives infiltrating the United States.” In both wars, America was not just fighting a group of people; America was also fighting an idea. In the Cold war, America was fighting of Communism. The USA believed they were truly free, and that in order for other countries to be truly free they had to embrace capitalism and consumerism. America tried to spread capitalism to Vietnam and Korea by fighting in those countries, similarly to how America tried to bring Democracy to Iraq and Afghanistan. In the War on Terrorism, the idea that America was...

...GENERAL OVERVIEW - BULGARIA Current Status of Biomass Energy There exists a large potential to utilize biomass as an energy source in Bulgaria. Bulgaria has a total land area of approximately 110,000 km2, of which some 6,200,000 ha, or approximately 60 percent of the overall land area, consists of arable and agriculture lands, and 3,903,000 ha, or approximately 30 percent, is forest cover. While information regarding the use and potential of biomass has been limited, there have been recent developments through pilot projects and preliminary evaluations that do begin to highlight Bulgaria’s full potential. Next to the country’s hydro resources, biomass accounts for a sizable share of Bulgaria’s final energy consumption, approximately 3.7 percent or 409,000 toe of the calculated 10,918,000 toe total consumption (Sofia Energy Center data report). Due to the lack of reliable nationwide assessments and data, it is estimated that in practice this number is much larger. The majority of the biomass energy consumption exists mainly in the rural areas, where fuelwood, followed by the residential consumption of wood briquettes produced from forestry wastes and sawmill byproducts amount to approximately 2 million m3 per year. In addition, wastes generated from agricultural and farming activities are produced in large quantities and exploitation of these wastes can prove to be significant source for energy generation. As the land of Bulgaria is rich and fertile, farming activities...

TEPCO is the fourth power company in Asia, operation 17 nuclear reactors and supplying one-third of Japan’s electricity. The first nuclear unit at Fukushima Dai-Chi (Fukushima) nuclear power plant began operational generation on 26th March 1971. During 1980s and 1990s, the widespread use of air-conditional and IT/OA appliances caused a gap between day and night electricity demands. In order to reduce surplus generation capacity and increase capacity utilization, TEPCO developed pumped storage hydroelectricity power plants and promoted thermal storage units. In 2009, TEPCO is expected to play a key role in achieving Japan's targets for reduced carbon dioxide emissions under the Kyoto Protocol. TEPCO launched an extensive sales promotion campaign called “switch”, promoting all-electric housing in order to...

...CHAPTER II DISCUSSION THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN AMERICAN AND INDONESIAN CULTURE. 1. Indonesian eat rice, American eat breads and potatoes. For indonesian, it is very common to eat rice. They feel unfull if they do not eat it. American sometimes eat rice but they do not eat it every day. Bread is very common and special for them. Besides, American love potaoes,too. 2. Indonesian love cigarette and little bit of alcohol, and even most of them do not drink at all. It because most of them are moeslim. American love alcohol, but little bit of cigarette. Perhaps it sounds strange but the fact like that. Almost all people in Indonesia are smoking especially men, and there are some person which consumption the alcohol. But, in America is very contrary in Indonesia. Almost american consume alcohol and only a few person who smoking. I think one of the reason why American consume it because the weather. In America has winter and autumn. Surely it is very cool. So, they consume it to warm their bodies. 3. Indonesian love offal, American love pork. Maybe not everyone in Indonesia like offal. Because it is unhealthy but it tastes very good. Because the taste, many people in Indonesia consume it. Although most of people also do not consume it because they feel displeasing and feel unwell after consuming it. While in America, the people love pork. It caused majority of Americans are christians even do not have religion so that they are allowed to consume pork. In Indonesia...

...battle between countries to maintain governmental status. The country was also recovering for World War II at this time and was standing their ground against the Soviet Union, fighting for their values and beliefs with only words and standing tall to represent their country. The cold war was a battle of threats and words with no physical fighting. The threats were about the nuclear weapons that were being housed in the Soviet Union after President Kennedy stated that we would not stand for these types of mass destruction weapons to be housed for the potential use against us and each countries standing up for its values, beliefs, and government (What was the Cold War, 00-12). The US and the Soviet Union were allies during WWII and as the shift in power and the rise of communism in the Middle East the tension between the two began to rise. Neither of the two countries wanted to take the first step towards a nuclear war so both sides just built wall to keep others out and as a method of showing their power and territory. As Kennedy states “We will no prematurely or unnecessarily risk the costs of worldwide nuclear war in which even the fruits of victory would be ashes in our mouth – but neither will we shrink from that risk at any time it must be faced.”(Farber, 1994), this statement shows that we will not start the fight but we also as a nation will not be afraid to stand up to you if you do strike.
