The Three Gorges Dam is located on the Yangtze River between Chongqing and Wuhan in China. Construction began in 1994 and was planned to be completed by 2009, though it may not be finished until 2011. It is the world's largest dam and will generate around 22,500 megawatts of hydroelectric power when operational, reducing China's reliance on coal and providing cleaner energy. The dam was built to control flooding along the Yangtze River and use renewable hydropower rather than coal-fired power plants.
Dams
The Three Gorges Dam project on China's Yangtze River will be the largest dam in the world once completed. It aims to provide electricity, flood control, and navigation improvements. Over 1.2 million people will need to be resettled as the dam forms a huge reservoir flooding over 600 square kilometers of land. Both benefits like power generation and costs like environmental impacts and cultural losses are substantial.
Three Gorges Dam Sam Miller
The Three Gorges Dam is located along the Yangtze River in southeastern China. It is the world's largest dam and hydroelectric power producer. Construction began in 1994 and will not be fully completed until 2011. The dam was built to provide renewable energy to power China's large population and industry, control flooding along the Yangtze River, and reduce China's reliance on coal. However, building the massive dam required relocating over 1 million people and has negatively impacted ecosystems and increased landslides and water pollution.
Coal
Coal is a black or brown sedimentary rock composed mostly of carbon and hydrocarbons. It forms from dead plant matter that is buried deep underground over millions of years and undergoes heat and pressure. Burning coal releases carbon dioxide and other pollutants and byproducts that contribute to issues like global warming and acid rain. While coal is inexpensive and abundant, it is also non-renewable and mining and using it damages the environment.

Thesis' Abstract
The document discusses the construction of a wave energy converter in Greece. It proposes building an overtopping breakwater in the harbor of Heraklion, Crete that would serve the dual purpose of protecting the harbor from waves while also producing electricity from wave energy. The breakwater would work by exploiting running-up waves that overtop into a reservoir and are then returned to the ocean through low-head turbines to generate an estimated 290 MWh of electricity per year, enough to power 83 households. The design is intended to reduce costs compared to conventional breakwaters while helping Greece achieve its renewable energy goals.

Energy resources and electricity generation
Tidal power harnesses the energy from tidal movements and has several advantages as an energy resource. The tides are driven by the gravitational pull of the Moon and Sun and provide a reliable source of power for around 10 hours each day when the tides are moving in or out. Tidal power stations could be built in estuaries where large tidal ranges occur, such as the Severn estuary in the UK. Once constructed, tidal power stations have low operating costs since they do not require fuel and have minimal environmental impacts compared to other sources like fossil fuels. However, tidal power is only viable in select locations with suitable tidal characteristics and may impact local wildlife habitats.
Wind energy
Wind power is the conversion of wind energy into useful forms like electricity or mechanical power. Humans have been using wind power for at least 5,500 years to propel boats and ships, and windmills have been used since the 7th century AD in central Asia and the Middle East for irrigation and milling grain. In the US, windmills helped expand farming and ranching by pumping water, and also supported the expansion of rail systems by pumping water for steam locomotives. Compared to traditional energy sources, wind power has a relatively minor environmental impact as it consumes no fuel and emits no pollution.
6.three gorges
The Three Gorges Dam on China's Yangtze River, the largest hydroelectric power station in the world, has caused significant environmental impacts. It has disrupted the ecosystem by blocking fish migration, decreased water quality by preventing pollutants from washing downstream, and increased the risk of landslides by requiring deforestation. Resettling over 1 million people displaced by the dam's reservoir has also faced challenges.

Hydroelectric Energy Jessie And Shelby
- Water flowing through dams is used to generate hydroelectric power. Water stored in reservoirs flows through penstocks, turning turbines that spin generators to produce electricity. The electricity is transformed and travels through power lines to homes and businesses.
- Hydroelectric energy has advantages of being renewable, having minimal environmental impact, and providing useful levels of energy production. However, it relies on available fast-flowing water sources and can impact fish and river life. This type of energy would not be supported in Alberta due to its flat landscape lacking places for dam installation.

Hinduism Introduction
Hinduism is a polytheistic religion founded in India in 1500 BC without a known founder. It is one of the largest religions in the world today. Hindus believe in reincarnation and fulfilling religious duties associated with one's social position and stage of life, of which there are four - student, married family years, increased spirituality, and contemplation in old age.
Iraq
The document provides a brief history of Iraq, noting that Shia Muslims make up the majority in Iraq despite most of the world's Muslims being Sunni. It describes how Saddam Hussein, a Sunni, oppressed the Shia and Kurds during his rule from 1979. Iraq invaded Iran in 1980 and the US supported Iraq in the war, which ended in a draw. In 1990, Iraq invaded Kuwait for control of their oil reserves, leading the US to intervene on Kuwait's behalf in the Persian Gulf War. In 2003, the US invaded Iraq due to suspicions of weapons of mass destruction, overthrew Saddam Hussein, and established a new democratic government with Shia Muslims in control.
Major Religions
The document provides an overview of three major world religions: Islam, Christianity, and Judaism. It describes that Islam is divided into the Sunni and Shia sects. Christianity has the Catholic, Protestant, and Eastern Orthodox sects. Judaism has Orthodox, Conservative, and Reform divisions.
History Of The Middle East
The Middle East has historically been an important region for trade due to its central location between Europe, Africa and Asia. Major trade routes passed through the region, generating significant wealth. This continued through the Roman Empire and the rise of Islam and the Arab Empire. However, from 1500 CE onward, European powers like Portugal began establishing new naval trade routes around Africa, bypassing the Middle East. This caused the Middle East to decline economically as European empires came to dominate global trade. The region remained relatively poor until the 20th century discovery of vast oil reserves, which brought new wealth to some Middle Eastern countries.
Tropical Rainforest
Tropical rainforests are located in warm, tropical regions that receive high amounts of rainfall each year. They are characterized by dense vegetation and nutrient-poor soil. Tropical rainforests differ from temperate rainforests in that they have a warmer climate and receive much greater rainfall. Remaining tropical rainforests are found in dark green areas on maps and are structured into several layers from tall canopy trees to lower shrubs. Tropical rainforests are important because they contain a high percentage of the world's biodiversity and produce a large amount of the earth's oxygen. However, they are being threatened by activities like slash-and-burn agriculture which leads to deforestation.
Russia Wealth And Terror
Russia faces significant challenges from wealth inequality, terrorism, and public health crises. Its economy benefits the wealthy while many citizens live in poverty, fueling discontent. Terrorist attacks plague the nation as extremist groups recruit disenfranchised youth. The COVID-19 pandemic has also hit Russia hard, overwhelming the health system and exposing gaps in welfare.
Russian History Timeline
Bloody Sunday occurred in 1905 when the Russian army fired on protesters who were asking for food, medical help, and other necessities. The last Czar, Nicholas Romanov, ruled as an autocrat from 1914 until 1917 and living conditions were very poor under his rule. In 1917, the Romanov family was kidnapped and killed by the Bolshevik army after Nicholas was forced to resign. Lenin then became the new leader and established the Soviet Union, following Marxist ideas of no social classes and collective ownership.
Monsoons
The document discusses the monsoon seasons of South and Southeast Asia. It describes how seasonal winds and temperature differences between land and ocean create distinct wet and dry seasons. During the summer, warm, moist winds blow inland from the ocean, bringing heavy rains. In the winter, cool, dry winds blow from the interior out toward the ocean, creating drought-like conditions. The monsoon patterns greatly impact the regions' climates, agriculture, and populations.
Immigration Powerpoint
The document provides an overview of U.S. immigration history, policies, and the ongoing controversy surrounding both legal and illegal immigration. It discusses the various waves of immigrants to the U.S. from different parts of the world at different time periods, from the late 1800s to present day. In addition, it examines the reasons why people immigrate legally and illegally, where they come from, and possible solutions to illegal immigration such as border security measures or reform policies.
El Nino
El Niño is a temperature change in the Pacific Ocean that impacts weather in the United States by increasing winter temperatures and changing precipitation patterns, with warmer El Niño winters in the US tending to see more rain than snow.
Eskimos
North American Eskimo (Inuits) traditionally lived a nomadic lifestyle, following animal migration patterns and hunting seals and caribou. They would construct temporary shelters like igloos and caribou skin tents. They had a strong tradition of sharing resources and ensuring all members of the community were provided for. While some traditional practices still exist, modern Inuits now typically live in permanent settlements, obtain food from stores, use modern hunting techniques like snowmobiles, and are entertained with television and video games rather than traditional storytelling.
Apartheid Pres
Apartheid was a system of racial segregation and discrimination in South Africa between 1948 and 1994. It kept political and economic power in the hands of the white minority population, who made up around 15-20% of the total population. The black African majority, who made up around 75% of the population, were forcibly removed from their homes and sent to live in segregated townships with inferior services and no political rights. Apartheid faced increasing resistance through the 1980s from violence, protests, and international pressure, and it was formally ended in 1990 when President F.W. de Klerk dismantled the system. Nelson Mandela had protested apartheid and spent 27 years in prison before becoming South Africa's first black president from
Climate Factors Ppt
The document discusses six main climate factors:
1) Latitude - The distance north or south of the equator determines temperature, with polar regions being cooler and tropical regions being warmer.
2) Altitude - Higher elevations experience cooler temperatures as air loses heat as it rises.
3) Land-Water Relationship - Large bodies of water moderate temperatures while land experiences more temperature variation.
4) Mountain Barriers - Mountains block moisture-carrying winds, creating wet and dry sides.
5) Ocean Currents - Ocean currents influence wind temperatures and rainfall along coasts.
6) Prevailing Winds - Global wind patterns are driven by differences in land and sea temperatures.

CAKE: Sharing Slices of Confidential Data on Blockchain
Presented at the CAiSE 2024 Forum, Intelligent Information Systems, June 6th, Limassol, Cyprus.
Synopsis: Cooperative information systems typically involve various entities in a collaborative process within a distributed environment. Blockchain technology offers a mechanism for automating such processes, even when only partial trust exists among participants. The data stored on the blockchain is replicated across all nodes in the network, ensuring accessibility to all participants. While this aspect facilitates traceability, integrity, and persistence, it poses challenges for adopting public blockchains in enterprise settings due to confidentiality issues. In this paper, we present a software tool named Control Access via Key Encryption (CAKE), designed to ensure data confidentiality in scenarios involving public blockchains. After outlining its core components and functionalities, we showcase the application of CAKE in the context of a real-world cyber-security project within the logistics domain.
