Geothermal Energy And Its Impacts On The Environment, Aditi Gorthy, Nathan Tran, Laureen Pierre-Louis

Mako: NSU Undergraduate Student Journal

From the multitude of energy sources that we have developed throughout the eons, renewable energy or “clean energy” has been on the rise to combat global warming and climate change which burning nonrenewable sources of energy have contributed to. Before geothermal energy is used as part of the mainstream energy sources some aspects must be analyzed and resolved. Unfortunately, geothermal power plants still release pollutants, such as carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide, into the environment and cause general environmental disruptions due to drilling and changes in land formations. Recent and future studies have been and should be conducted to find …

Remediation Using Sscs Model For Reducing Misconceptions About Work And Energy, M Ahsanul Taqwim, Widha Sunarno, Murni Ramli

Jurnal Inovasi Pendidikan IPA

Misconceptions are discrepancies between students' understanding of concepts and concepts defined by experts. Misconceptions are indicated as latent dangers in the learning process. One of the topics in science that has a high level of misconception among students is the concept of work and energy. The SSCS model is an approach put forward as an effective way to train students' conceptual understanding. This research aims to determine whether the misconceptions about the work and energy of grade 7 students will be reduced by applying the SSCS model (Search, Solve, Create, and Share) as a remediation approach. The experimental design was …

Factors Of Creating A Scientific Environment In The Formation Of Professional Knowledge And Skills Of Future Power Engineers., Olim Kholbutayevich Turakulov, Erkin Hafizov

Mental Enlightenment Scientific-Methodological Journal

Energy is a huge system, in which people extract, process, convert all types of natural energy resources into electricity and heat and meet their needs is a continuous process in social life. Therefore, we need to develop the electricity sector and pay serious attention to the activities of qualified power engineers working in this environment. This article focuses on the factors that increase the efficiency of the energy company, which is one of the priorities of the country's long-term economic development. We will also examine the real needs of the energy sector. It also considers ways to identify the needs …

Book Review: The Intelligence Of The Cosmos: Why Are We Here? By Ervin Laszlo, Elizabeth W. Szatmari Krasnoff

Journal of Conscious Evolution

Ervin Laszlo breaks down his theory of everything into a credo of 8 statements. This review looks in some detail at Laszlo’s theories and also touches on the other writers who have been invited to participate. It is noteworthy that Laszlo breaks with the current scientific belief that we are without purpose, and that evolution has no purpose. He believes that compassion, love, and expansion are our purposes for being here.

Developing Community Through Energy: The Impact Of Student Extracurricular Collaboration, Tiyana L. Dorsey

The Vermont Connection

Students collaborate in order to educate one another and to develop community. Students often use their own personal experiences for collaborative events in order to appeal to their fellow classmates' empathy to inspire change. Discussions centered on objective systems of oppression can be less effective than subjective experiences and require more student affairs professional assistance to create a fruitful experience. I examine two student events, Happy in a Hijab (HH) and Real Talks: The Race Thing (RTRT) to demonstrate how the discussion's subject relates to its effectiveness. I review the timeline of the events, what type of energy, and how …

Electro Energy Of Mono- End Polycrystaliс Silicon Solar Battaries, X.S Daliev, M Tuychiev

Bulletin of Gulistan State University

A new calculation formula for the annual energy balance of solar cells has been created. Based on this formula, the electric energy of small mono-polycrystalline silicon solar cells is calculated.

Measuring Resource Inequality: The Gini Coefficient, Michael T. Catalano, Tanya L. Leise, Thomas J. Pfaff

Numeracy

This paper stems from work done by the authors at the Mathematics for Social Justice Workshop held in June of 2007 at Middlebury College. We provide a description of the Gini coefficient and some discussion of how it can be used to promote quantitative literacy skills in mathematics courses. The Gini Coefficient was introduced in 1921 by Italian statistician Corrado Gini as a measure of inequality. It is defined as twice the area between two curves. One, the Lorenz curve for a given population with respect to a given resource, represents the cumulative percentage of the resource as a function …
