strength between charged parallel plates • • • • A particle with charge q moves a distance d through a field with electric field strength E. The force acting on the particle is Eq, therefore the work done is equal to Eqd. In a vacuum, its kinetic energy will rise by Eqd. Using other information, such as mass, it would be possible to find its acceleration, its velocity after travelling a particular distance and the time to travel that distance. Using the fact that in a field acting downwards, the

This encompasses any data relating to the state of environmental elements such as air, water, soil, wildlife, and biological diversity. It also includes the measurement of energy, noise, emissions, radiation, and anything that might affect environmental elements or the relationships between them. b.

crop species and exploitation of new and renewable energy sources. Most countries have areas that are classifiable as arid or semiarid, hence the need to develop drought-tolerant and early-maturing crops. Strangely, only one country recognizes the conservation of genetic resources as an important strategy although this is also potentially important for dealing with drought. Biomass energy resources account for more than 70 percent of total energy consumption in ASARECA member countries. To mitigate

He holds professional engineering licenses in the states of Colorado and Alaska, and has held engineering and management positions with Dow Chemical, Rockwell International, EG&G Rocky Flats, Topro Systems Integration, and the International Atomic Energy Agency. Mr. Hughes has taught numerous courses in electronics, mathematics, and instrumentation systems at the college level and in industry. He is currently the Principal Consultant with Nova Systems Engineering Services in Arvada, Colorado. xiii

(climate and erosion) act as one, on the quantity of energy produced at the dam of Edea; it fluctuates according to the flows variations. In addition, climate variability cannot be listed as the only responsible for the low productivity of hydroelectric power; beside it, we have to take into account, human and technical factors. Therefore, the alternative measure is to strengthen capacity at the dams, to lock at new sources of energy (wind, thermal, solar), in order to overcome the problem of shortage

volumetric and shapes are technically and practically imposed, in order to ensure the stability of structures. However, the climate effect on the geometry proportion is also, as important, because the intensity of the radiation affects directly the thermal behavior of the elements, as far as the temperature and the light are concerned. A comparative study is hereafter presented in this paper, with the techniques of the oldconstruction’s systems are compared to the modern design methods, in order to

5 steps integral to scientific approach (observe, understand, imagine, experiment and verify) Oxylane Research has invested in extensive resources: More than 50 researchers, 4 platforms dedicated to specific themes (morphology, movement, thermal comfort and affective sciences), a worldwide network of scientific laboratories, research organisations, universities and industries. This structure has enabled Oxylane teams to register many tens of patents. Everyone’s wants, needs and means
