This study investigated the associations between diet, lifestyle factors, and cognitive performance in college students. The researchers administered online cognitive tests and surveys to 54 college students. They found that higher father education was linked to faster psychomotor processing. Eating more meals away from home as a commuter student was associated with better verbal memory, while more fast food meals correlated with worse visual memory. Students who relaxed by reading had greater verbal learning ability, while spending time with pets was tied to weaker visual memory. The study provides insight into factors influencing college students' cognitive functioning.

Bertolt Brecht was a remarkable 20th century poet known for political and satirical poetry. His poem "General, Your Tank is a Powerful Vehicle" uses irony to undermine the strength of despotic power. Each line in the poem is an ironic statement about the indomitable might of the general's tank. As a socialist, Brecht believed that human thinking has the power to change history, and that people are more powerful than any machine. However, paradoxically the thinking person is under the control of those in power. While power can control the world temporarily, critical thinkers will eventually break free and shape the course of history through human thought.
This document is a powerpoint presentation submitted by Anu George to Dhanya Kumar for a class at Sree Narayana Training College in Cherthala, Kerala, India. The presentation analyzes the poem "General, Your Tank is a Powerful Vehicle" by Brecht, highlighting how the poem shows that despite machines of war being powerful, in the end it is human thinking and history that hold the real power over time.

A wind farm planning strategy that simultaneously accounts for the key engineering design factors, and addresses the major sources of uncertainty in a wind farm, can offer a powerful impetus to the development of wind energy. The distribution of wind conditions, including wind speed, wind direction, and air density, vary significantly from year to year. The resulting ill-predictability of the annual distribution of wind conditions introduces significant uncertainties in the estimated resource potential as well as in the predicted performance of the wind farm. In this paper, a new methodology is developed (i) to char- acterize the uncertainties in the annual distribution of wind conditions, and (ii) to model the propagation of uncertainty into the local Wind Power Density (WPD) and the farm performance: Annual Energy Production (AEP) and Cost of Energy (COE). Both para- metric and non-parametric uncertainty models are formulated, which can be leveraged in conjunction with a wide variety of stochastic wind distribution models. The AEP and the COE are evaluated using advanced analytical models, adopted from the Unrestricted Wind Farm Layout Optimization (UWFLO) framework. The year-to-year variations in the wind distribution and the quantified uncertainties are illustrated using two case studies: (i) an onshore wind site at Baker, ND, and (ii) an offshore wind site near Boston, MA. Appreciable uncertainties are observed in the estimated yearly WPDs over the ten year period - approximately 11% for the onshore site, and 30% for the offshore site. Likewise, an appreciable uncertainty of 4% is observed in the performance of an optimized wind farm layout at the onshore site.

Financial Assets: Debit vs Equity Securities.pptxWrito-Finance
financial assets represent claim for future benefit or cash. Financial assets are formed by establishing contracts between participants. These financial assets are used for collection of huge amounts of money for business purposes.
Two major Types: Debt Securities and Equity Securities.
Debt Securities are Also known as fixed-income securities or instruments. The type of assets is formed by establishing contracts between investor and issuer of the asset.
• The first type of Debit securities is BONDS. Bonds are issued by corporations and government (both local and national government).
• The second important type of Debit security is NOTES. Apart from similarities associated with notes and bonds, notes have shorter term maturity.
• The 3rd important type of Debit security is TRESURY BILLS. These securities have short-term ranging from three months, six months, and one year. Issuer of such securities are governments.
• Above discussed debit securities are mostly issued by governments and corporations. CERTIFICATE OF DEPOSITS CDs are issued by Banks and Financial Institutions. Risk factor associated with CDs gets reduced when issued by reputable institutions or Banks.
Following are the risk attached with debt securities: Credit risk, interest rate risk and currency risk
There are no fixed maturity dates in such securities, and asset’s value is determined by company’s performance. There are two major types of equity securities: common stock and preferred stock.
Common Stock: These are simple equity securities and bear no complexities which the preferred stock bears. Holders of such securities or instrument have the voting rights when it comes to select the company’s board of director or the business decisions to be made.

Hydrology plc (“Hydrology” or “the Company”), a project finance

last 18 months from finance raised through the issuance of debenture
loan stock. The projects are operational and one is already generating
revenue. Hydrology plans to develop at least two more projects this
year from its established pipeline of small-to-medium sized projects
with multi-national organisations looking to reduce costs and develop
a sustainable supply of water with on-going environmental benefits.
