Evaluate and compare the e-service quality of five websites in the utilities sector on the dimensions of control, two-way communication and responsiveness on the basis of a given questionnaire. The companies examined were British Gas, Scottish Power, Scottish Hydro Electric, EDF Energy and E.ON Energy. 2. Critique the content of the questionnaire, developing an argument for why the questionnaire is comprehensive, or how it can be improved by deleting and/or adding dimensions to assess e-service quality
NGB Strategies to Increase Community Participation in Sport and Exercise According with WSFF (2012) there is a fitness activity problem in UK but mainly on females, its estimate that only one in ten girls meet the guideline for physical activity. This report was the largest ever carried on the UK. Unfortunately, there are different outcomes from the lack of exercising, between them are obesity and low self-esteem, %30 percent of girls 11-16 don’t exercise, for this reason unfortunately British woman
6a. Discuss the pros and cons of alternative energy as a viable alternative to traditional energy generation on the Western coast of Scotland The Western coast of Scotland is comprised of an archipelago known as the Hebrides, which is divided into the Inner and Outer Hebrides; home to rugged landscapes, fishing villages and remote Gaelic speaking communities. According to the General Register Office for Scotland (2003) the Inner Hebrides has 36 inhabited islands, and the Outer Hebrides (also known
Furthermore, let’s go into the environment aspect as to why an electric car is a better investment not only for you, but for the world we live in. All electric cars, for example, Tesla Roadster and Nissan LEAF have no tailpipe because they have no heat or gases to release as a byproduct of combustion. Therefore, electric cars are zero emission vehicles. In theory, electric cars are not truly zero emissions because of the pollution that comes from the electricity generation. However, according to
mankind, but how do we avoid such a troublesome future? What is some sort of solution to help the future of mankind to provide clean air not just for us, but for future generations? One simple solution to prevent this sad future is purchasing an electric vehicle rather than a gasoline vehicle. According to the union of concerned scientists in 2013, transportation contributed to more than half of the carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides, and almost a quarter of the hydrocarbons emitted into our air
three US energy companies, which created sufficient publicity to persuade insurance companies into the market. The underlying issues about data and pricing were also being resolved. In the UK, the first weather derivative deal was sold by Enron to Scottish Hydropower who, at that time, 1998, were taking part in a government pilot scheme for the privatization and deregulation of energy markets. Figure 1 Who needs weather derivatives? Any company whose revenue is affected by weather has a potential
Engineering Design for Sustainability TIDAL WAVE ENERGY Introduction Tidal power is a form of energy which derives directly from the relative motions of the Earth/Moon system, and to a lesser extent from the Earth/Sol system. Tidal energy is gained from the exchange of large bodies of water. Changes in water levels, and associated tidal currents, are due to the gravitational pull of the Sun and Moon. This makes Tidal Power completely predictable; furthermore, because it is created by relative
The role of carbon capture and storage in climate change mitigation Why the interest in CCS? As anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions increase atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations, the resulting climate system warming poses an increasingly serious environmental challenge. According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), it is now very likely that these emissions are responsible for most of the recent measured global average surface temperature increase, totalling about 0.65
Abstract Wind force is still the most encouraging renewable energy in the year of 2013. The wind turbine system (WTS) began with a few tens of kilowatt power in the 1980s. Now, multi megawatt wind turbines are widely installed even up to 6–8 MW. There is a widespread use of wind turbines in the distribution networks and more and more wind power stations, acting as power plants, are connected directly to the transmission networks. As the grid penetration and power level of the wind turbines increase
