Solar power plants are the de facto means for sustainable energy. As the world faces pressing challenges of climate change and environmental degradation, solar energy stands as the currently viable clean and renewable alternative. Several plants have been set up worldwide to harness sunlight without emitting harmful greenhouse gases. So, which country has the largest plants helping to reduce their carbon footprints — let's find out: As we strive for a sustainable future, the importance of solar power plants cannot be emphasized enough. They are essential for creating a cleaner environment, reversing the impacts of climate change, and ensuring long-term energy independency. Update: Starting from 2023, the worlds' largest concentrated solar power plant is Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park located in Dubai, UAE. With Phase IV completed, It generates 700 MW of electricity. Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park, UAE However, larger solar power plants exists elsewhere but...

The balls of a pendulum are in perfect rhyme, measuring the passage of time. Alpha particle   A particle released by radioactive decay that consists of two protons and two neutrons – equivalent to the nucleus of a helium atom. Beta particle   A particle released by radioactive beta decay – usually an electron, but rarely a positron. Beta particles are released from unstable atomic nuclei when a neutron transforms into a proton or, more rarely, vice versa. Gamma radiation   A form of high-energy electromagnetic radiation released by various processes such as radioactive decay. Electron   A low-mass elementary particle carrying negative electrical charge. Electrons are found in the orbital shells surrounding an atomic nucleus, and play a key role in chemical bonding. They are also the principal means by which electric current flows through materials. Proton   A subatomic particle with substantial mass and positive electric charge, normally found in the atomic nucl...

  Taken from the site of Deepak Chopra, here are The Seven Laws of Spiritual Success: The Law of Pure Potentiality Take time to be silent – to just BE. Meditate for 30 minutes twice a day. Silently witness the intelligence within every living thing. Practice non-judgment. We have unlimited pure potentiality all around us – we just need to be open and ready to lock into one thing. The universe gives us the ability to manifest and do what we like – we just have to know how to get it. There is unlimited pure potential. The Law of Giving and Receiving Today, bring whoever you encounter a gift: a compliment or flower. Gratefully receive gifts. Keep wealth circulating by giving and receiving care, affection, appreciation, and love. We have to have the ability to receive — when a person gives us something and we say "no", that is creating an imbalance. It is important to give every day: give thanks, gratitude, support, love, freedom — what you can afford — even time. All that you g...

Here's a list of terms you may encounter as you learn Adobe Photoshop® – from BDM Publications . Active layer The layer currently selected in the Layers panel Adjustment layer A layer that lets you apply colour and tonal adjustments to your image without permanently changing pixel values. Use adjustment layers to experiment with colour and colour tones. You can think of an adjustment layer as a veil through which the underlying layers are seen. Adobe RGB The RGB colour space profile created by Adobe Systems, Incorporated. It provides a large gamut of colours. Aliasing The jagged edges seen at the edges of diagonal lines, arcs, and so on, caused by pixels lining up in a saw-tooth pattern. Alpha channels Masks, which let you manipulate, isolate, and protect specific parts of an image. In Photoshop, alpha channels are called saved selections. To save an alpha channel, choose Select > Save Selection. To load an alpha channel, choose Select > Load Selection. Anti-aliasing The smoo...

Here's a list of some terms in photography: Aperture : Behind the lens of your camera is a movable circular iris which opens and closes to control the amount of light falling on the sensor. This is usually controlled by the camera's light meter, although some cameras have a manual aperture control. Altering the aperture also changes the depth of field.   Artefacts : When an image is stored in your camera's memory it has to be compressed to fit, usually into a JPEG file, and in the process some information is inevitably lost. When the image is uncompressed for viewing, noise creeps in and appears as angular blocks in the image, which are known as artefacts. Auto-focus : Almost all digital cameras have automatic focusing. There are essentially two types: contrast detection, used in compact cameras and most CSCs, uses the camera's main sensor and works by detecting the borders between high-contrast areas and trying to make them as sharp as possible. Phase detection AF is u...
