to questions researchers pose and panel studies which are surveys in which responses from the same people are obtained to learn how their beliefs‚ attitudes‚ and/or behaviors change. There are particular strengths and weaknesses of each type of experiment done. Panel studies for instance allow‚ "researchers to be more confident about attributing patterns of cause in effect in survey data‚" (Dominick 415) and they are more reliable. Another strength of the panel study is the benefit of‚ "longitudinal

PASSIVE SOLAR INTRODUCTION Passive solar is a “GREEN BUILDING “technique‚ which depends on natural convection process rather than mechanical transmitting source‚ which captures the heat energy of sun and delivers it during winter and pumps out the heat in summer‚ using heat distribution methods. Some of the heat distribution methods are Convection‚ Conduction‚ and Radiation. However components of passive solar heating are‚ the aperture area of the house‚ absorber area of the house‚ thermal mass of

Solar System Our solar neighborhood is an exciting place. The Solar System is full of planets‚ moons‚ asteroids‚ comets‚ minor planets‚ and many other exciting objects. Learn about Io‚ the explosive moon that orbits the planet Jupiter‚ or explore the gigantic canyons and deserts on Mars. How Did The Solar System form? This is an important question‚ and one that is difficult for scientists to understand. After all‚ the creation of our Solar System took place billions of years before there

The Power of Solar Storms To Our Fragile Planet Natural disasters occur when least expected all over the world. Disasters affect countless lives and cost millions of dollars. Hurricanes‚ tornados‚ and tsunamis occur with such regularity throughout the world that society has developed warning systems and is prepared to rebound from these disasters as quickly as possible. One disaster that most people do not think about is solar storms. Research shows that solar storms have been documented since the
