Even so, other studies have reported either mixed or no significant differences between experimental and control groups when measuring the effect of parental involvement on student achievement (Griffith, 1996; Heller, & Fantuzzo, 1993; Henry, 1974; Keith, Reimers, Ferman, Pottenbaum, & Aubrey ,1986; Ryan, 1964; Searles, Lewis & Morrow, 1982). Some of the discrepancy across studies relates to

believed to be due to the green house effect. In this paper I will discuss the history or global warming and how it became the most talked about topic in environmental science. In addition I will describe various types of pollutions that we humans have contributed to making the atmosphere worst every year. Finally I will conclude the paper with a variety of solutions humans have begun to contribute to mother nature well being. History of the greenhouse effect and global warming was first presented

Objective In this experiment, the performance of solar cells under different working conditions are investigated. These variables include light intensity and temperature. This is achieved by studying the different current-voltage characteristic curves. Also, the relationship between short-circuit current and no-load voltage with different working conditions is studied. Introduction Solar Cell A solar cell (or a "photovoltaic" cell, Fig. 1) is a semiconductor device that converts light

Solar energy is been utilized by humans since ancient time. But as technology revolves, the use of the sun heats also evolves. Solar energy was discovered by Edmund Becquerel (Wiki.answers, n.d.). He was the one who also discovered the Photovoltaic Effect, an operating procedure of the Solar Cell (Wikipedia, n.d.) His work causes numerous products concerning electricity. One of this is the solar charger. Everyone wants to find solution in some
