The glass transition activation energy‚ Et‚ is among the important characteristic parameters of the glasses. Et is defined as the amount of energy absorbed by a group of atoms in the glassy region and therefore‚ a jump from one metastable state to another is possible. In addition‚ the activation energy of glass transition can be obtained as a function of the glass transition temperature‚ Tg‚ using the second approach proposed by Kissinger [26]:

ENERGY MANAGEMENT IN THERMAL POWER PLANT INTRODUCTION Thermal Power Plants are the most important source of power generation. They are based on the Rankine Cycle where high pressure and high temperature steam raised in a boiler is expanded through a steam turbine that drives an electric generator. In a thermal power plant‚ the chemical energy stored in fossil fuels such as coal‚ fuel oil‚ natural gas is converted successively into thermal energy‚ mechanical energy and finally electrical energy

Abstract Security threats are vastly becoming an ongoing threat to the information technology world today. Constant threats involve viruses‚ hacking‚ worms‚ and malicious activity within the virtual world of an organization or individual computer systems. Within every organization there is threat of data loss. Whether the loss is unintentional or malicious. Many factors are attributed to data loss such as malware‚ computer theft‚ hacking‚ and network exposure‚ to name a few. This type of data

Security Services Typologies Out of all the Security agencies that were researched‚ the two that have been chosen was Pinkerton Security and the Federal Burial of Investigations (FBI) which is a part of Homeland Security. Starting with Pinkerton Security they would be classified as a Level IV because they can deal with a vast majority of situations that occur in their client areas. Their personnel can be deployed wherever they are needed in a short time and have a very clear governing intervention

Nuclear energy is the energy created in a nuclear reaction which is the changes can occur in the structure of the nuclei of atoms. Nuclear energy was discovered in the mid-twentieth century and first utilized in a military capacity in the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. It all started rather innocently in 1896‚ when Antoine Henri Becquerel discovered radioactivity in Uranium. The next step came in 1902 when Marie and Pierre Curie isolated radioactive metal called Radium. In 1934‚ Enrico
