Combined Cycle
A combined cycle power plant is an assembly of heat engines that work in tandem from the same source of heat, converting it into mechanical energy. On land, when used to make electricity the most common type is called a combined cycle gas turbine (CCGT) plant, which is a kind of gas-fired power plant. The same principle is also used for marine propulsion, where it is called a combined gas and steam (COGAS) plant. Combining two or more thermodynamic cycles improves overall efficiency, which reduces fuel costs. The principle is that after completing its cycle in the first engine, the working fluid (the exhaust) is still hot enough that a second subsequent heat engine can extract energy from the heat in the exhaust. Usually the heat passes through a heat exchanger so that the two engines can use different working fluids. By generating power from multiple streams of work, the overall efficiency can be increased by 50–60%. That is, from an overall efficiency of the system of say ...

Inter-Society Color Council
The Inter-Society Color Council (ISCC) is a non-profit learned society which was created in 1931 to advance the understanding and application of visual color as it relates to science, industry, and art. The Council also serves to coordinate between different organizations in the United States for which color plays a major role (for example, design, printing, or computer graphics). The Council is composed of individual members and Sustaining Members, and supplies the United States' representatives to the International Commission on Illumination. The society maintains three Interest Groups to provide focus for presentations at conferences. The Interest Groups are ''Fundamental and Applied Color Research'', ''Industrial Applications of Color'', and ''Art, Design, and Psychology''. Journal The Council endorses the international journal ''Color Research and Application'' and encourages the submission of such reports and articles to this journal for consideration for publication.

Islamic Supreme Council Of Canada
The Islamic Supreme Council of Canada (ISCC; ) is a Canadian Muslim organization based in Calgary, Alberta.

IEEE Communications Society
The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) is an American 501(c)(3) public charity professional organization for electrical engineering, electronics engineering, and other related disciplines. The IEEE has a corporate office in New York City and an operations center in Piscataway, New Jersey. The IEEE was formed in 1963 as an amalgamation of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers and the Institute of Radio Engineers. History The IEEE traces its founding to 1884 and the American Institute of Electrical Engineers. In 1912, the rival Institute of Radio Engineers was formed. Although the AIEE was initially larger, the IRE attracted more students and was larger by the mid-1950s. The AIEE and IRE merged in 1963. The IEEE is headquartered in New York City, but most business is done at the IEEE Operations Center in Piscataway, New Jersey, opened in 1975. The Australian Section of the IEEE existed between 1972 and 1985, after which it split into state- and te ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Invasive Species In The United States
Invasive species are a crucial threat to many native habitats and species of the United States and a significant cost to agriculture, forestry, and recreation. An invasive species refers to an organism that is not native to a specific region and poses significant economic and environmental threats to its new habitat. The term "invasive species" can also refer to feral, feral species or introduced diseases. Some introduced species, such as the Taraxacum officinale, dandelion, do not cause significant economic or ecologic damage and are not widely considered as invasive. Economic damages associated with invasive species' effects and control costs are estimated at $120 billion per year. The main geomorphological impacts of invasive plants include bioconstruction and bioprotection. Notable invasive species For a more in depth example, Zebra mussels (Dreissena polymarpha) like many other invasive species in are not native in the United states and can cause significant damage to ...
