called the power factor angle and the cosine of this angle is called the power factor. Power factor may be defined also as the ratio of the real power to the apparent power whose value lies between 0 and 1 and it is dimensionless quantity.

The confusion over the meaning of separation of powers arose mainly from the status of the executive’s power‚ and how powerful it should be. Such a weak executive office couldn’t balance the power of

Particular emphasis will be placed on identifying how this idea is incorporated into the United Kingdom’s (UK) constitution and the effect that recent developments of constitutional reform such as the introduction of the UK Supreme Court in place of the House of Lords has had. The doctrine of the separation of powers is an idea that can be seen in writings as far back as the

THE IMPERATIVES AND BENEFITS OF NUCLEAR ENERGY 1. INTRODUCTION Only 30 years ago‚ nuclear energy was an exotic‚ futuristic technology‚ and the subject of experimentation. Today‚ nuclear energy is America’s second largest source of electric power after coal; more than 110 nuclear energy plants supply more electricity than oil‚ natural gas or hydropower taken together. Nuclear energy is a clean‚ safe‚ reliable and competitive energy source. It is the only source of energy that can replace a

I – BSBA Date: August 31‚ 2011 Chapter I Nuclear Power Plant Introduction: Nuclear power is the use of sustained nuclear fission to generate heat and do useful work. Nuclear power plants provide about 6% of the world’s energy and 13–14% of the world’s electricity‚ with the U.S.‚ France‚ and Japan together accounting for about 50% of nuclear generated electricity. In 2007‚ the IAEA reported there were 439 nuclear power reactors in operation in the world‚ operating in 31 countries

own or other countries. “How about building the nuclear power plant in your house yard?” The most classic riposte on the proposal of building a nuclear power plant‚ first broached in 1966 (Patchimpattapong‚ 2010) ‚ has lasted more than forty years in Thailand. Having obstructed the realization of the plant for almost half a century‚ the grievous concern over safety issue is warranted by the list of more than thirty nuclear power plant accidents since 1957‚ led by the most devastating Chernobyl

Gain and Loss in the Circle of Life In Richard Powers’ novel‚ Gain‚ he intertwines two fictional stories to analyze the growth of large corporation in America and the deterioration of the individual as a potential result. He tells the story of the rise of a family soap making business‚ J. Clare and Sons‚ into a large-scale corporation over a span of 150 years. As a second story line‚ he incorporates the end of the life of Laura Bodey‚ a divorced real estate agent with ovarian cancer living in Lacewood

The majority of Americans would agree that all of these forms of alternative energy are safe and should be pursued as new means of powering the country. However‚ there is one well-known energy source that stirs up dissent and division among the country’s citizens: nuclear power. It’s no secret that in the past decade or so the United States has been actively seeking to curb its dependence
