...rate and each doubling will increase energy demand that will far exceed supply. China and India have recently developed into industrialized nations and several more will follow. Many leading scientists describe the “tipping point” for carbon dioxide emissions as having already passed, meaning it could be too late for renewable energy options to have an impact (McKibben, 2008). However, until the full impact is determined, scientists worldwide should be developing energy alternatives, in order to help stabilize the environment, secure national policy interests and boost to the economy. Geothermal energy represents a sizeable, renewable power source and is one of several alternative energy options that should be utilized. In order for this technology to be able to move forward with any success, it must achieve the highest efficiency, through smart thinking and conservation methods. Society needs to integrate energy, environmental, economic and political policies; otherwise, there is no chance for a sustainable future. INTRODUCTION TO GEOTHERMAL ENERGY Geothermal energy originates as heat from the Earth’s core and is constantly flowing, conducting outwards towards the surface. This is most easily...

...has been forced to re-evaluate operations at its plant in Sunnyvale, California, in response to the plans of a Japanese competitor (DJC Corp.) to construct a rival plant in the United States. The essential issue at hand is whether American Connector’s customization manufacturing strategy should be modified or replaced to meet the threat posed by DJC Corp.’s low-cost manufacturing approach. The situation is particularly critical as ACC’s Sunnyvale plant has recently been experiencing rising costs and deteriorating product quality. Consequently, the present analysis will examine the manufacturing strategies of American Connector Co. and DJC Corp. from a SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats) perspective in order to determine the potential impact of JDC’s entry into the US connector market. American Connector Company Mass Customization Manufacturing Strategy • Strengths DJC Corporation Product-Focused Manufacturing Strategy • • • ACC’s Sunnyvale plant produces a large variety (4,500) of connectors. This allows the company to provide just about any kind of connector that a customer could want. Products are customized and stateof-the-art. They also exceed customers’ expectations. Batch processing and automated assembly facilitate production of large quantity of products (600 million units per year). ACC is committed not only to product variety and quantity but product quality as well. Production process is flexible and easily accommodates customers’...

Our research shows that the engineering education has been quiet neglected in this part of the country primarily due to the lack of any quality education provider in this sector. After a considerable analysis of the various available options three partners/ friends and members of The National Trust, Mr. Mahesh Sharma, Mr. Nagarjuna Shetty and Mr. Patrick D’Souza have zeroed down on starting an Educational institute i.e. an engineering college. The college will be located at Jamshedpur, a tier 2 Industrial city in the state if Jharkhand in eastern India. As per the business plan, the team envisions a high quality education infrastructure, to cater to the needs of the students from the states of Jharkhand, Bihar, West Bengal as well as other nearby states. Mr Pattrick D’souza with his immense experience as an educator and an administrator will be the director of the Buddha Institute of Technology for the first five years after its Inception. The institute will be starting off with three branches of engineering at first viz. Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering. Buddha Institute of Technology aims to expand in coming years into more branches...

...StartUp Zone >> Chakr Innovation << Founded by Kushagra Srivastava, Arpit Dhupar and Prateek Sachan, Chakr Innovation has devised a novel technology to capture particulate matter from diesel generators, without causing any adverse impact on the engine’s performance or the environment. Moreover, they do not just dump or burn off the captured carbon. As carbon is a useful resource, they process the captured particulate matter and use it to create ink pigment. This pigment is non-toxic and is of same quality as the ink used in industries. Chakr Shield provides numerous technological advantages as it: Helps meet the compliance requirements instantly Causes minimal back pressure – no adverse impact on performance Requires no additional space - retrofitted by placing on top of existing generators The emission control technology is based on a combination of particle agglomeration through thermophoretic changes and subsequent capture through a carefully engineered capturing chamber, which ensures maximum capture efficiency with minimal back-pressure. The device consists of the following components: Heat Exchanger: Exhaust gas from the diesel generator enters the finned-tube heat exchanger. The heat exchanger is air-cooled and specially designed...

...Synopsis of Google Google is an iconic example of a multi-sided platform (searchers, advertisers, affiliates) with an impressive dynamic growth cycle based on innovations in products and processes. The business is based on a search algorithm developed by Brin and Page at Stanford in the late 1990s. The algorithm is an innovative approach to estimating the most “central” node in an enormous network, composed in Google’s case of websites indexed by keywords. The benefit of this approach, called Page Rank, is that it produces an ranking of sites determined by user behavior as opposed to by payments to the Google by advertisers. In theory, user determined rankings would be more useful and so was a critical selling point. The platform depends on the two-sided network externality between searchers and advertisers: the more companies that advertise, the more useful searching on Google will be; in turn, the more searchers on Google, the more companies will advertise. In addition, Google offered a lower cost per click (CPC) to advertisers than Overture (its main competitor), drawing more business. The combination of Page Rank, the lower CPC, and the two-sided externality was sufficient to launch the business. Then, Google developed two innovations that grew its advertiser base. First, it created a pricing model that adjusted the CPC by the predicted productivity of the ad based on its click-through-rate (CTR). More productive ads (whose actual to predicted CTRs were higher) cost...

...Solar Energy: The Present and Future of the Middle East Aalim Saleem The American University of Sharjah Dr. Victoria Amador November 22, 2015 Abstract Solar energy, a pure and limitless amount of energy, has been one of the rising and popular forms of power in the Middle East. A region that is solely dependent on oil and gas as a form of energy. Since oil and gas is non-renewable and also damages the environment severely, countries in the Middle East have turned to a different form of energy. solar energy has become its direct competitor in recent years. The different projects and prospects that each country in the Middle East is pushing towards is a clear example of how important solar energy has become to these countries. Increase in economy and the many advantages of having solar energy for the environment are two benefits that this source of power is capable of providing to these countries. A limitation of solar panels is an aspect that helps gives both sides to this research paper. Accordingly this research paper discusses how all these factors are benefiting the Middle East and hence should solar energy be the main source of energy in this region. Solar Energy: The Future and Present of the Middle East Solar energy is the energy from the sun that is converted into thermal or electrical energy. It is one of the most abundant and cleanest renewable energy sources available, since it’s directly obtained from the sun. Solar energy has been around since the time...
