Additionally, a comparison between the Taliban and Hezbollah will be conducted to determine if there are indeed indicators of the Afghan group transitioning to a political party, participating in the government, or a take

Abstract:

The topic of renewable energy is an evergreen subject, especially, in a world dominated by fossil fuels. Renewable energy is widely discussed in the contemporary world because it is unlimited, which means it’s sustainable and does not emit greenhouse gasses that are harmful to the environment and human life. A classic example of renewable energy is wave energy.

Abstract:

The discourse regarding contemporary comic book studies has become increasingly concerned with the apocalyptic potential of the power of comic book superbeings. While many consider Superman to be a morally upright and hopeful figure worth emulating, the idea of a creature as powerful and uncannily similar to human beings as Superman is produces a type of paranoia, distrust, and unease. This type of disruptivity is a result of the combination of two foundational aspects of the character's being namely, its power, and its uncanny Otherness. Recent trends in the discourse concerning the cinematic

Abstract:

At present, conventional fossil fuels such as coal, petroleum and natural gas still remain dominant in electricity generation. Therefore, distributed energy resources (DERs) attract people's attention for being renewable and environmentally friendly and hence promotes the utilisation of DERs in electric power systems. This offers an opportunity to aggregate prosumers into virtual power plants (VPPs) operated as a single dispatchable resource. Yet that raises the question of how to financially reward prosumers for participating in VPPs. Against this backdrop, this thesis explores dynamic export

Abstract:

In the Tropical Andes of Peru and adjacent lowlands, human livelihoods are exposed to strong changes in hydroclimatic and socioeconomic patterns. On the one hand, climate change impacts are particularly visible by means of glacier retreat and growth of glacier lakes. With decreasing ice masses in highly glacierized catchments, river discharge probably diminishes and its streamflow variability increases. On the other hand, growing energy demand promotes extensions of hydropower plants and thus a major need to rely on a predictable minimum discharge during the whole year. Additionally, the expan

Abstract:

This study estimates the economic costs of mining pollution on water resources for the years 2008 and 2009 based on the conceptual framework of Environmental Efficiency. This framework identifies such costs as the mining companies’ trade-off between increasing production that is saleable at market prices (desirable output) and reducing the environmental pollution that emerges from the production process (undesirable output). These economic costs were calculated from parametric and non parametric production possibility frontiers for 28 and 37 mining units in 2008 and 2009, respectively, which w

This thesis examines a new form of agency for change that has surfaced in rural areas of post-war Guatemala around the defence of territory and natural resources.

It is localised and characterised by varied aspects of what I call ‘difference’, an antagonistic stance based on locally embedded political, economic and cultural meanings which challenges the elite-promoted reordering of relationships and

Electrical power systems are deemed as one of the most complex systems mankind has built to date. Nonetheless, continuous changes on electricity generation and consumption are increasing the complexity of these systems. The uptake of behind-the-meter distributed energy resources (DER) (such as rooftop PV, battery systems, and flexible loads) requires a more precise coordination of all agents in the grid. This is particularly true for distribution systems, which are traditionally passive systems but require coordination under a high percentage of DER penetration. To perform such coordination, t
