Cost Benefit Analysis What is cost benefit analysis? Cost benefit analysis (COBA) is a technique for assessing the monetary social costs and benefits of a capital investment project over a given time period. The principles of cost-benefit analysis (CBA) are simple: 1. Appraisal of a project: It is an economic technique for project appraisal‚ widely used in business as well as government spending projects (for example should a business invest in a new information system) 2. Incorporates

These food systems follow the same paths and rules as food chains. Food chains follow the first and second laws of thermodynamics. Energy is lost as it passes through food chain from one trophic level to the next due to decreases in food. In turn there will be fewer organisms at trophic

2.5 Aspects of Solar Cell Efficiency Most of the energy that reaches a cell in the form of sunlight is lost before it is converted to electricity. The usual efficiency of these systems ranges between 10% to 15%‚ though sometimes this efficiency increases to 30% and more. Certain physical properties affect the cell efficiency which we will briefly state. 1- Reflection: Studies show that untreated silicon reflects 36% or more of sunlight that strikes it.

Abstract: Soil Manipulation to increase efficiency. The objective of this plant growth experiment would be to distinguish if potting soil could be manipulated in any certain way‚ to maximize or increase its overall efficiency. Our goal would be to determine what optimum combination of ingredients would best increase efficiency in soil productivity to equal the result of hydroponics (Cultivation of plants in nutrient solution rather than in soil). Through research our group came to the conclusion
