Classifications of the Hybrid Electric Vehicles: The hybrid electric vehicles (HEV) are the special types of vehicles that make use of two things together‚ i.e. conventional internal combustion engine (ICE) and an electric propulsion system‚ which together help in achieving fuel efficiency as compared to any other vehicle. The degree of efficiency and improvement provided by the HEVs depend on the degree and the type of propulsion systems they make use of. The engineers have succeeded in adding

ATTENTION: -Lab Stroop Effect’s Theory: During the experiment‚ it was more difficult to indicate the color ink that the word was shown in when the word itself indicated a non-corresponding color. This is the Stroop Effect: the finding that people identify the color of a word more slowly when color and word are incongruent (for example‚ the word BLUE printed in a red color) than when color and word are congruent (for example the word BLUE printed in blue). But why is identifying the color of
