    Recent Development of Hybrid Renewable Energy Systems

    Abstract: The use of renewable energies continues to increase. However, the energy obtained from renewable resources is variable over time. The amount of energy produced from the renewable energy sources (RES) over time depends on the meteorological conditions of the region chosen, the season, the relief, etc. So, variable power and nonguaranteed energy produced by renewable sources implies intermittence of the grid. The key lies in supply sources integrated to a hybrid system (HS)

    Cryo Tagging Infrared Spectroscopy and Temperature Controlled Kinetic Studies in a Tandem Trap Mass Spectrometer

    In the present work, the interaction of diatomic molecules with charged transition metal clusters and complexes was investigated. Temperature controlled isothermal kinetic studies served to elucidate the adsorption behavior of transition metal clusters. Infrared multiple photon dissociation (IR-MPD) experiments in conjunction with density functional theory (DFT) computations enabled the analysis of adsorbate induced changes on the structure and spin multiplicity of transition metal cores. A tandem cryo trap setup was used for the kinetic and spectroscopic investigations of the given compounds as isolated species in the gas phase. The presented investigations enabled insight into the metal-adsorbate bonding and provided cluster size and adsorbate coverage dependent information on cluster surface morphologies

    Nowadays, the changing in business operations among customers is facing huge challenges due to the new competition of adopting technology by businesses today. Most of these challenges can be found among the Saudi Small Enterprise companies (SSEs), which reflects the needs of developing a suitable system for managing and optimizing the business activities in these companies. A number of difficulties were reported during the process of inventory management, which recognized to be one of the most critical operations for any SSEs. Hence, integrating new technology could help to overcome the SSEs difficulties in performing and managing its operations in reliable way. Meanwhile, this research aimed to develop an inventory management system for simplifying and managing SSEs operations in a flexible way based on the utilization of multi agent interface that could add extra advantages in operating the business deals over the internet

    Heidegger's threshold: philosophy of environment and education

    Get PDF
    The consumerist lifestyle of modernity has had a detrimental impact on the environment. In part, this is supposed by the traditional philosophical conceptualisation of subjectivity, which privileges human subjects from surrounding objects. Concern over our attitude to the environment has been present from the beginning of civilisation and particularly since the emergence of the industrial revolution. This thesis traces a genealogy of these concerns, from the Romantics, to 20th century philosophers such as Heidegger, through the political movements of the 1960-1980s and the recognition of pollution, resource depletion and climate change by pan global organisation from the 1980s to the present day. The changes in epistemology in the wide context of society have influenced the way environmental education has emerged. Philosophy informs the way we understand subjectivity, language, pedagogy, curriculum, and our understanding of the environment. Education also operates in a political context, and the concepts that inform policies permeate educational institutions. Heidegger’s philosophy engages with the scope of the environmental problem, offers a critique of modernity, develops a new conceptualisation of subjectivity and the relationship between humanity and Being, and an analysis of the impact modern technology has mediating that relationship. Heidegger began to develop his ideas on technology during the period between World Wars, in Germany in the 1920s and 1930s. His philosophy was influenced by the Romantic Volk movement, and the ideas of Nietzsche, Spengler and Jünger. The tense political surroundings have influenced his thinking, in both constructive and detrimental ways. Heidegger remains one of the most influential philosophers to engage with the framework of technological modernity and its constraints on human subjectivity, and our way of relating to the earth. He challenges traditional ontology and epistemology. He raises the status of poetry from mere lyrical wordplay to means of developing a more authentic relationship between beings and Beings. I make a critical analysis of his philosophy, to distinguish the elements that remain inherently conservative and nationalistic from those that are immanently helpful in throwing light on the dilemma of modern life, and the escalating problem of environmental devastation

    The design of an undergraduate chiropractic curriculum

    Get PDF
    Evidence is provided to support Kierkegaard's phenomenology that only what is learned through experience is truly known. It is demonstrated that the chiropractic curriculum represents a unique area of investigation and that it is possible to define curriculum; to create a functional and integrative model which subsumes elements from the traditional, cyclical and process models; and to design an integrative, problem-based, evidence-based, experiential chiropractic curriculum. A taxonomy is proposed for curriculum design in four domains which deal respectively with a) curriculum processes which include the selection, motivation and interaction of curriculum developers, curriculum definitions and models, and an algorithm for curriculum design; b) curriculum organisation which addresses philosophical, sociological, cultural and psychological foundations, curriculum paradigms and a chiropractic conceptual framework; c) curriculum development which concerns design strategies, situational analysis, intent, content, design and organisation of learning experiences and assessment of student performance; and d) curriculum application, which includes the learning climate, quality management, management of change, self-evaluation and external accreditationCurriculum and Instructional StudiesM.
