On  the upper side, the MBA graduate salaries can be in excess of USD  150,000 for those having an experience of more than seven years. With an  experience of more than ten years, you can earn around USD 200,000 or  more depending on your &lt;span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD4"&gt;position&lt;/span&gt; and skill. &lt;h2&gt;Master of Business Administration – MBA Degree Salary Data&lt;/h2&gt; &lt;p&gt;In many careers, there is a direct relationship between educational  achievement and salary growth. When it comes to a business  administration degree, the impact of earning a master's can be  exponential. Business degrees can put students on the right track to  career success and fair salaries, but if you want to reach your full  salary potential, completing a Master of Business Administration degree  may be necessary. On average, &lt;span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD1"&gt;MBA Salaries&lt;/span&gt;  tend to be higher than Bachelor of Business Administration Degree  salaries. Since an MBA degree can often lead to a significant salary  advantage, it's not surprising that many students go on to earn a Master  of Business Administration degree, despite the time and financial  investment that obtaining a graduate level degree entails. Earning an  MBA degree is certainly more convenient now than ever before. Thanks to a  growing trend of legitimate online degree programs, students also have  the option to pursue an Online Master of Business Administration Degree.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Factors Influencing MBA Salaries&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The average MBA starting salary depends, to a large extent, on the  institute from where you complete your graduation degree. Most education  experts would suggest completing your MBA program from an 'A rated'  college or university. Your salary and position will also depend on how  well you can practically implement the concepts learned in your books.  The next factor influencing average MBA salary is the location of the  job. Whether it is an European country or an Asian country, those  working in large and developed cities will earn more than their  counterparts working in remote areas. Having said so, one should also  note that the cost of living is quite high in large cities as compared  to the smaller ones. The kind of employer you work for is also a  deciding factor for your salary. Management graduates working for large &lt;span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD9"&gt;corporations&lt;/span&gt; with varied business interests will earn more than those working in smaller enterprises.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;MBA Starting Salaries&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;There's no question that earning an MBA degree can lead to greater &lt;span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD2"&gt;job opportunities&lt;/span&gt;  as well as higher salaries. But what can recent graduates expect when  it comes to MBA starting salaries? According to PayScale's salary survey  data, the median MBA Starting Salary is around $47,000. In addition to  starting salaries, the Average Vacation Time for MBA degree holders just  entering the workforce is around two weeks per year. Other Popular  Benefits for employees with an MBA degree include a 401(k), &lt;span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD7"&gt;life insurance&lt;/span&gt;,  and paid sick leave.

id="article-body"&gt; 			&lt;div id="article-content"&gt; 				&lt;p&gt;The MBA graduates have a vital role in the competitive business  world today. They are eagerly needed by businesses worldwide.  Salaries  and other bonuses influence these post graduates.  The salary for all  levels of MBA holders shows continuous increment each year.  Studies  show that the average salaries for MBA professionals have risen above  21% in the last seven years. &lt;a href="http://world-edu.info/mba-salary/"&gt; The MBA salaries&lt;/a&gt; also increase with  seniority levels within an organization.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin-left: 200px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;img class="size-full wp-image-321 alignleft" title="MBA salary" src="http://world-edu.info/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/MBA-salary.jpeg" alt="MBA salary" width="175" height="220"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;With an MBA degree, one can  increase his salary up by as much as 50%.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Besides the base salary,  the total compensation earned yearly include bonus of around $25,000  and other benefits, including tuition reimbursement, car allowances, and  relocation that add about $15,000 on an average.  The base salary and  bonus may vary from one company to another.  Some companies offer a  higher base salary and fewer bonuses, while others offer a high year-end  bonus.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Business companies look for MBA graduates to widen their  business areas to get more profit.  A professionally qualified MBA  graduate can assist the company to meet the business targets.  As the  profit level of a company increases, there may be increases in the  remuneration to its staff.  This is the main factor that increases the  average salary of a business professional.  Also, some leading business  companies offer competitive and exciting salaries and benefits to  qualified and experienced MBAs solely to attract them. Year-after-year  the salary scale goes up; each year showing a large difference with its  preceding year.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://world-edu.info/mba-salary/"&gt;A significant salary&lt;/a&gt; change can be seen in a  person's salary if he or she completes an MBA program while working in  an organization.  But, there are a number of factors determining the  salary offer like the area of specialization, prior earnings profile,  pre-MBA work experience, geographic location and cost of living, and the  academic record in the business school he or she attends.  Compensation  packages will also be offered.  Consider a person working in a reputed  business company earning a salary of $25,000 per year; the salary will  increase up to $50,000 or $60,000 after his MBA graduation.&lt;/p&gt;			&lt;/div&gt; 			&lt;div id="article-resource"&gt; 				&lt;p&gt;&lt;a target="_new" rel="nofollow" href="http://world-edu.info/mba-salary/"&gt;MBA&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://world-edu.info/mba-salary/"&gt;  provides detailed information on MBA, Top MBA Programs, MBA Online, &lt;/a&gt;MBA  Programs and more.

type='text'>Top Jobs for Bachelor's degree in Psychology</title><content type='html'>&lt;table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" &gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td valign="top" style="font: inherit;"&gt;&lt;div id="hubtitle"&gt;&lt;div class=""&gt;In  the four years that I have graduated with my &lt;a href="http://world-edu.info/ba-degree-in-psychology/"&gt;Bachelor's degree in  Psychology&lt;/a&gt;, I have worked several jobs. From cashier at McDonald's to  call center representative for a pharmaceutical company. All the while, I  had no idea what kind of jobs I should be looking for. Today, I am  going to share with you the things that nobody bothered to share with me  to make your job search a little easier. This way you will know what  kind of jobs to look for to further your career in psychology and make  decent money as well. I do have one disclaimer though. One thing I have  learned in my job searches is that for you to make &lt;strong&gt;good&lt;/strong&gt;  money in psychology, you need a Master's Degree or higher. You can not  work jobs like counselor, or psychologist without a Master's Degree, PhD  or at least some kind of certification. With that being said, let's  talk business...&lt;span title="hubscore"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span id="ratethispage"&gt;&lt;span style="position: relative; top: -4px; padding-left: 10px;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="modfloat right"&gt;&lt;div id="mod_4517820" class="module moduleImage"&gt;&lt;div id="imgs_4517820"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;				&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;" id="img_url_1658081"&gt; 					&lt;img src="http://s2.hubimg.com/u/1658081_f260.jpg" class="half" alt="" title="" width="260" height="312"&gt; 					 				&lt;/div&gt;				&lt;div class="caption_half" id="img_desc_1658081"&gt; 					 				&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div id="mod_4518538" class="module moduleEbay color0"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;p&gt;1. &lt;strong&gt;Teacher's Assistant&lt;/strong&gt;: Notice I did not say  "teacher". That is because to be a teacher you need some sort of license  or teaching credentials. I am trying to give you an idea of what kind  of jobs you can work with what you have at your disposal, namely a  &lt;a href="http://world-edu.info/ba-degree-in-psychology/"&gt;Bachelor's Degree in psychology&lt;/a&gt; and nothing else. A teaching assistant  (or a TA for short) is a person who supports the teacher in the  classroom. The duties of the job may vary from school to school. This  job utilizes the psychology graduate's knowledge of learning styles,  childhood and early development (depending on what grade you assist in  teaching) and social psychology. According to payscale.com, you will  make an average of $11.33/hour as a teaching assistant in Sacramento,  CA. Go to &lt;span style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt;google&lt;/span&gt; to search your potential salary in other localities.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;2. &lt;strong&gt;Child Care Worker:&lt;/strong&gt; A child care worker is a term  used for a person who manages young people. I have worked as a child  care worker in a group home with adolescent boys. This job paid me  $9.50/hour which is a dollar more than minimum wage in California. The  good thing is that these jobs are looking for people with a Bachelor's  degree in psychology. You will find that you may not even need work  experience as long as you have the degree. The bad thing is, it doesn't  pay much although there are pay increases if you stick with the job long  enough. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;3. &lt;strong&gt;Social worker:&lt;/strong&gt; As a social worker, your average  wage would be $16.47/hour in Sacramento, CA according to payscale.com. A  social worker is a professional who works with people to help them with  emotional, financial, insurance and other resources that they may need  during a critical period. For example, they may deal with runaway  children, victims of abuse or sexual violence, people in poverty, etc. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;4. &lt;strong&gt;Caregiver/Home health aide:&lt;/strong&gt; I have done the job  as well. Basically, the job entails that you support people in hospice  or who are confined to their home due to illness. I worked primarily  with the elderly. You may have duties such as giving a sponge bath,  administering enemas, dispensing medication, rubbing ointment,  supporting patient when they walk, light housekeeping, food preparation  and others. According to payscale.com your the average wage for this  position is $13.93/hour.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;5. &lt;strong&gt;Human Resources Assistant:&lt;/strong&gt; Human resource  assistants keep records of a company's employees. Everyday they update  information and answer questions about employees. They also may create  reports for managers. Some human resource assistants answer the phone or  open mail. Some help to hire workers. They sometimes to research on the  internet to find qualified applicants for jobs. They call or write  applicants to tell them whether or not they got the job. According to  payscale.com human resource assistants make an average of $14.67/hour.  You must have good computer skills for this job.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;There are lots of other jobs that a person with a Bachelor's degree in psychology can do including:&lt;/p&gt; &lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Office Assistant for a Psychiatrist's office&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Behavioral tutor for Children with Autism&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Marketing Representative&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Customer service representative&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Call center representative&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;And many more. What are your  opinions? Do you have a Bachelor's degree in Psychology? What type of  jobs have you worked? Which jobs are the best? Leave a comment, and I'll  be sure to reply! :-) &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;~::*EDIT*::~&lt;br&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;I have to edit this article to  include some excellent suggestions given by a commenter named "Kelly S".  She advises people to try the following:&lt;/p&gt; &lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Community relations officer, &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;affirmative action officer, &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;recreation worker, &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;urban planning officer, &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Personal Administration, &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Advertising, &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Health Educator, &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Vocational Rehabilitation, &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Psychiatric Assistant, &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Director of Volunteer Service, &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Public Statistician, &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;customs inspector, &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Probation/parole officer, &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Newspaper reporter in terms of socialogy/psychology related stories, &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;or daycare center supervisor.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;I hope that helps! And I  would like to add that in any position in which you are managing other  people (e.g. manager, shift supervisor, etc.) you can color your resume  with mentions of the fact that you studied human behavior and are  skilled in conflict resolution, crisis management, groupthink  and&amp;nbsp;motivation.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Don't be discouraged by the lack of signs out there that specifically  say "Psych Students Welcome". Sell yourself! Do your research! Figure  out what kind of job you want to do and find out what it takes for you  to get it. And just because the job you want is not available in your  area, doesn't mean they're not available. Move if you have to!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Source:

href="http://world-edu.info/average-salary-for-bsn-degree/"&gt;A BSN teaches nurse&lt;/a&gt;s to employ critical thinking skills in their profession. 											 										&lt;p id="intelliTxt" class="intro"&gt;A Bachelor of Science in  Nursing (BSN) is a degree for professional nurses, such as registered  nurses, who want to improve their nursing skills and broaden their  nursing practice. It is available as a four-y&lt;a data-href="http://i.ehow.com/images/a07/e6/1r/average-salary-bachelors-nursing-800x800.jpg" data-type="modal" data-modal-content="nursing duties image by Pix by Marti from &amp;lt;a href='http://www.fotolia.com'&amp;gt;Fotolia.com&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;"&gt;&lt;img src="http://img.ehowcdn.com/article-page-main/ehow/images/a07/e6/1r/average-salary-bachelors-nursing-800x800.jpg" alt="The Average Salary With a Bachelor's in Nursingthumbnail" title="A BSN teaches nurses to employ critical thinking skills in their profession." class="photo" longdesc="http://i.ehow.com/images/a07/e6/1r/average-salary-bachelors-nursing-800x800.jpg"&gt;						&lt;/a&gt;ear program in many  colleges, universities and professional nursing schools. A BSN can  improve salaries because it opens the holder to added responsibility and  more types of nursing jobs.&lt;/p&gt; 				 					  				 &lt;section class="Module body FLC"&gt; 	     &lt;section&gt; 		 		 		&lt;ol id="intelliTxt" class="generic"&gt;&lt;li class="section"&gt; 									&lt;h2 class="header Heading3"&gt;Jobs&lt;/h2&gt; 							&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li class="step"&gt; 														&lt;div class="stepMeat"&gt; 																&lt;div itemprop="step"&gt;&lt;p&gt;The primary factor in deciding  salaries for BSNs is the job title, since that dictates actual duties  and responsibilities. For example, professional nurses, who commonly  pursue this degree to improve their careers, make a median $56,234 per  year. Directors of nursing, who are in charge of an entire department of  subordinate health care professionals, earn the highest salaries at  $78,347 annually. An RN in an operating room makes $66,063. This is  higher than a standard RN, because those in operating rooms have the  added responsibility of caring for surgical patients who may be in  critical health situations. This is according to PayScale as of January  2011.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt; 							&lt;/div&gt; 						&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt; 									&lt;h2 class="header Heading3"&gt;Experience&lt;/h2&gt; 							&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li class="step"&gt; 														&lt;div class="stepMeat"&gt; 																&lt;div itemprop="step"&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://world-edu.info/average-salary-for-bsn-degree/"&gt;Salaries increase with  experience as BSNs&lt;/a&gt; develop more skill and understanding of their jobs  and a wider reputation among other health care professionals. New  employees make a median $48,884 per year, while those with one to four  years of work earn $55,732. At five to nine years of experience, they  earn $64,071, and at 10 to 19 years, they get $67,689. At 20 or more  years of experience, they top out at $72,182.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt; 							&lt;/div&gt; 						&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt; 									&lt;h2 class="header Heading3"&gt;Employers&lt;/h2&gt; 							&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li class="step"&gt; 														&lt;div class="stepMeat"&gt; 																&lt;div itemprop="step"&gt;&lt;p&gt;The type of employer affects  salaries with those in the federal government receiving the highest  wages at $66,593 per year, followed by those in hospitals at $66,249  annually. At the opposite end of the scale are schools and school  districts that pay $46,467 and medical franchises that offer $53,513.  Those who are self-employed receive $65,000, while those working for  nonprofit organizations get $64,868.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt; 							&lt;/div&gt; 						&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt; 									&lt;h2 class="header Heading3"&gt;Certifications&lt;/h2&gt; 							&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li class="step"&gt; 														&lt;div class="stepMeat"&gt; 																&lt;div itemprop="step"&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://world-edu.info/average-salary-for-bsn-degree/"&gt;Certifications can enhance  salaries&lt;/a&gt; because they are documentation that the holder can perform  specific tasks at industry-accepted standards. The most valuable of  these is the Certified Nurse, Operating Room, which signifies skill in  helping surgeons with life-or-death operations. This knowledge pays a  median $79,218 per year. Advanced Cardiac License Support enables BSNs  to handle the special needs of heart patients in critical conditions.  This skill garners $63,217 yearly. Even basic cardiopulmonary  resuscitation, which can save the lives of patients in heart attacks, is  a credential that earns $59,402 annually.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt; 							&lt;/div&gt; 						&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt; 						&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt; 	&lt;div style="overflow: hidden; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; border: medium none;"&gt;&lt;br&gt;http://world-edu.info/average-salary-for-bsn-degree/&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/section&gt;&lt;/section&gt;&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/footer&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7859045714504642815-5637482768879237952?l=solar-dryers.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://solar-dryers.blogspot.com/feeds/5637482768879237952/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7859045714504642815&amp;postID=5637482768879237952' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7859045714504642815/posts/default/5637482768879237952'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7859045714504642815/posts/default/5637482768879237952'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://solar-dryers.blogspot.com/2011/08/average-salary-with-bachelors-in.html' title='The Average Salary With a Bachelor&apos;s in Nursing'/><author><name>Sutainner</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7859045714504642815.post-5475324271310658854</id><published>2011-08-10T22:37:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2011-08-10T22:37:56.610-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Samsung Galaxy 10.1 Tablet Features</title><content type='html'>&lt;table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" &gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td valign="top" style="font: inherit;"&gt;&lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href="http://netfinest.com/samsung-galaxy-10-1-tablet/"&gt;Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1&lt;/a&gt;'s beautiful 1,280x800-pixel screen is great for watching movies.

For high-definition movies, change the width to "1280." &lt;/p&gt; &lt;div class="cnet-image-div image-LARGE float-none" style="width: 540px;"&gt; &lt;a href="http://i.i.com.com/cnwk.1d/i/tim/2011/08/10/Picture_settings.png" class="lightboxIt"&gt; &lt;img class="cnet-image" src="http://i.i.com.com/cnwk.1d/i/tim/2011/08/10/Picture_settings_540x446.png" alt="Picture settings" width="540" height="446"&gt; &lt;/a&gt; &lt;span class="image-credit"&gt;(Credit: Screenshot by Ed Rhee)&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Step 4: &lt;/b&gt;In the "Video" tab, the &lt;b&gt;video codec&lt;/b&gt; should be "H.264 (x264)" and &lt;b&gt;Framerate (FPS)&lt;/b&gt; should be "Same as source." For &lt;b&gt;Quality&lt;/b&gt;, select "Constant Quality" at "RF:20." For HD movies, use the slider to move the quality to "RF:22." &lt;/p&gt; &lt;div class="cnet-image-div image-LARGE float-none" style="width: 540px;"&gt; &lt;a href="http://i.i.com.com/cnwk.1d/i/tim/2011/08/10/Video_settings.png" class="lightboxIt"&gt; &lt;img class="cnet-image" src="http://i.i.com.com/cnwk.1d/i/tim/2011/08/10/Video_settings_540x446.png" alt="Video settings" width="540" height="446"&gt; &lt;/a&gt; &lt;span class="image-credit"&gt;(Credit: Screenshot by Ed Rhee)&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Step 5: &lt;/b&gt;In the "Audio" tab, choose "Stereo" for &lt;b&gt;Mixdown &lt;/b&gt;and make sure that &lt;b&gt;Samplerate &lt;/b&gt;is at "48" and &lt;b&gt;Bitrate &lt;/b&gt;is at "160." &lt;/p&gt; &lt;div class="cnet-image-div image-LARGE float-none" style="width: 540px;"&gt; &lt;a href="http://i.i.com.com/cnwk.1d/i/tim/2011/08/10/Audio_settings.png" class="lightboxIt"&gt; &lt;img class="cnet-image" src="http://i.i.com.com/cnwk.1d/i/tim/2011/08/10/Audio_settings_540x445.png" alt="Audio settings" width="540" height="445"&gt; &lt;/a&gt; &lt;span class="image-credit"&gt;(Credit: Screenshot by Ed Rhee)&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Step 6: &lt;/b&gt;In the "Advanced" tab, choose the following settings in the Encoding and Analysis sections:&lt;br&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Reference Frames:&lt;/b&gt; 4&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Maximum B-Frames:&lt;/b&gt; 0&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;CABAC Entropy Coding:&lt;/b&gt; unchecked&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;8x8 Transform:&lt;/b&gt; unchecked&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Weighted P-Frames:&lt;/b&gt; unchecked&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Motion Estimation Method:&lt;/b&gt; Default (Hexagon)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Subpixel ME &amp;amp; Mode Decision:&lt;/b&gt; 7: RD in all frames&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;  &lt;div class="cnet-image-div image-LARGE float-none" style="width: 540px;"&gt; &lt;a href="http://i.i.com.com/cnwk.1d/i/tim/2011/08/10/Advanced_settings.png" class="lightboxIt"&gt; &lt;img class="cnet-image" src="http://i.i.com.com/cnwk.1d/i/tim/2011/08/10/Advanced_settings_540x447.png" alt="Advanced settings" width="540" height="447"&gt; &lt;/a&gt; &lt;span class="image-credit"&gt;(Credit: Screenshot by Ed Rhee)&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Step 7: &lt;/b&gt;If you have &lt;a href="http://netfinest.com/samsung-galaxy-10-1-tablet/"&gt;QuickTime &lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://netfinest.com/samsung-galaxy-10-1-tablet/"&gt;or the &lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://netfinest.com/samsung-galaxy-10-1-tablet/"&gt;VLC media player&lt;/a&gt; installed, you can click the &lt;b&gt;Preview &lt;/b&gt;button to see what the encoded video will look like. If you're happy with it, click the &lt;b&gt;Start &lt;/b&gt;button to begin encoding your movie. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Step 8: &lt;/b&gt;Once the encoding task completes, plug your Galaxy Tab  10.1 into your computer using the USB data cable, then copy the file to  /Root/Movies. In theory, the movie should show up in the Gallery app  but we couldn't get it to appear consistently. Instead, we used the My  Files app to go directly to the file location and launch it from there. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;There, now you know how to get movies onto your Samsung Galaxy Tab  10.1 so you can watch them on that gorgeous screen! Keep in mind that  some of the settings can be tweaked to improve the video quality but  it's a balance between quality and size. Using the settings we  suggested, a 74MB QuickTime file encoded to a 22MB MP4 file and a  90-minute DVD encoded to about a 1.2GB MP4 file. If you run out of  internal storage, consider getting the &lt;a href="http://netfinest.com/samsung-galaxy-10-1-tablet/"&gt;Galaxy Tab USB adapter&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://netfinest.com/samsung-galaxy-10-1-tablet/"&gt;,&lt;/a&gt; which allows you to use attach an external USB flash drive.

Electric cars are typically recharged  overnight.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"In effect, you are driving a solar-powered car," says  SunPower CEO Tom Werner. He says his customers are always commenting,  "Wouldn't it be cool if I could power my car?"&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;To generate enough  solar power for an electric-car offset, the system will have about 147  square feet of roof panels — about 11 panels that are 4 feet by 2 feet:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The 2.5-kilowatt system will produce about 3,000 kilowatt hours of electricity a year.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The  option will be offered by Ford dealers to Focus electric buyers, but  will be a pricey option: about $10,000 after federal tax credits. Best  Buy's Geek Squad, with which Ford already has a deal to install home  chargers, can perform the solar installation.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ford hasn't  announced the price of the 2012 Focus electric yet. It goes on sale in  California and New York later this year, beginning a gradual rollout  nationwide into next spring.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href="http://solar-module-panels.com/pv/ford-focus-electric/"&gt;solar power &lt;/a&gt;option could get a  good reception among environmentalist buyers who have figured out that  even driving a plug-in EV isn't truly green because electricity is often  made by burning fossil fuels at power plants.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"To have a scenario  where you know you are offsetting (the electricity) used in your car,  that's pretty attractive," says Ron Cogan, publisher of the Green Car  Journal.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The new partnership lets Ford burnish its "green" image  with the solar angle and gives SunPower, based in San Jose, Calif., a  new batch of potential customers.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"It's pretty brilliant  marketing," Cogan says. Not only does it help broaden electric car  appeal, "it's going to introduce a whole new crowd of people to solar  power who might not have gone there otherwise."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Other Solar Energy Links&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="1"&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a

Life has a knack for throwing us curve balls. We're  able to hit some balls out of the park. Many, however, only get us to  first base, while others cause us to strike out altogether. Take your  education, for instance. How many times have you committed to completing  a degree program, only to be thrown out of the game by other  responsibilities? Once? Twice? Three times or more? You're not alone.  Most working adults find it extremely difficult to fit traditional  classroom education into their busy lives.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://affiliatetracking.com/instantdegrees/a/atan04"&gt;&lt;a href="http://world-edu.info/degrees-instant-with-life-experience/"&gt;&lt;img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-220" title="instant degree" src="http://world-edu.info/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/instant-degree.jpeg" alt="instant degree" width="255" height="198"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;h1 style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://world-edu.info/degrees-instant-with-life-experience/"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;APPLY HERE&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h1&gt; &lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;     &lt;br&gt;   But, fortunately, all that's changed. E-learning, a revolutionary  method of anytime, anywhere learning, offers mature students the  convenience and flexibility they need to earn their degrees and enhance  their careers. And, because e-learning allows you to design your own  learning schedule and leverage your own learning style, you're better  able to continue moving forward with your education - despite those  pesky curve balls. &lt;br&gt;   In addition, a lesser-known entity - life credits - is making it  easier than ever for motivated e-learning students to complete a degree  program. Life credits offer the potential for you to reduce e-learning  class time required to complete your degree. For older students, this  removes an incredible roadblock to continued education. &lt;br&gt;   But what are life credits, and how can they help you achieve your goal? &lt;br&gt;   &lt;br&gt;   &lt;br&gt;   &lt;strong&gt;Earn College Credit For What You Already Know &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;   &lt;br&gt;   Simply put,&lt;a href="http://world-edu.info/degrees-instant-with-life-experience/"&gt; colleges and universities recognize life experience &lt;/a&gt;-  often gained through the workplace, military or through public or  community experience - when conferring college credits. This acceptance  of life credits helps to accelerate your e-learning college experience,  while enabling you to earn a&lt;a href="http://world-edu.info/degrees-instant-with-life-experience/"&gt; fully accredited degree&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;br&gt;   &lt;br&gt;   If you look closely at your own life experience, there's a good chance  that you've already batted home some of your college requirements. But  each college and university independently designs and proctors its life  credit program. So it's important to research potential programs to  determine their relevance to your education objective and life  experience. You should also make sure that the institution you're  considering is fully accredited. &lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://world-edu.info/degrees-instant-with-life-experience/"&gt;http://world-edu.info/degrees-instant-with-life-experience/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7859045714504642815-5077595489158557627?l=solar-dryers.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://solar-dryers.blogspot.com/feeds/5077595489158557627/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7859045714504642815&amp;postID=5077595489158557627' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7859045714504642815/posts/default/5077595489158557627'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7859045714504642815/posts/default/5077595489158557627'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://solar-dryers.blogspot.com/2011/07/credit-of-life-experience.html' title='Credit of Life Experience'/><author><name>Sutainner</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7859045714504642815.post-5500035276403400384</id><published>2011-07-28T14:15:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2011-07-28T14:15:13.675-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Bachelor Degree in Finance</title><content type='html'>&lt;table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" &gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td valign="top" style="font: inherit;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;font class="title"&gt;Bachelor Degree in Finance&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.bachelordegreecollege.com/images/spacer.GIF" width="200" height="5"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;font class="body"&gt; If you enjoy risk, numbers, or business, a&lt;a href="http://world-edu.info/bachelor-degree-in-finance/"&gt; bachelor degree in finance&lt;/a&gt;  may be ideal for you. A career in finance can offer numerous  opportunities as businesses, families, and governments explore better  ways to manage increasingly limited funds.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 100, 0);"&gt;&lt;a href="http://world-edu.info/"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="http://world-edu.info/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/bachlor1-150x150.jpg" style="width: 162px; height: 162px;" width="162" align="bottom" height="162"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;font class="body"&gt;With the recent Wall  Street crises and current economic slump, you might imagine that a  bachelor degree in finance is a dead end. In fact, nothing could be  farther from the truth. With tightened spending, proper money management  has become more important as families, businesses, and governments  around the world try to do more with much smaller budgets. If you enjoy  math, numbers, or business, few academic disciplines can provide as many  opportunities or as much stimulation as finance can.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;What Can You Learn with a &lt;a href="http://world-edu.info/bachelor-degree-in-finance/"&gt;Bachelor Degree in Finance&lt;/a&gt;?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Whether  you choose to pursue business finance, public finance, or personal  finance, the underlying science of funds management remains the same.  You study how money, risk, and time are interrelated both at the micro  and macro levels. Typical coursework includes:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;font class="body"&gt;&lt;li&gt;Business administration&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Economics&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Strategic management&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Mathematics&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Game theory&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Accounting&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;font class="body"&gt;Understanding  these areas is critical for navigating short-term and long-term changes  in whatever markets in which you choose to specialize.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;For What Careers Can a&lt;a href="http://world-edu.info/bachelor-degree-in-finance/"&gt; Bachelor Degree in Finance &lt;/a&gt;Prepare You?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Over  30 percent of all finance specialists work directly for insurance or  financial firms. Roughly 10 percent work in the public sector. The  remaining 60 percent work in a range of different industries from  business to entertainment to medicine. Some work with large-scale firms,  trading unimaginable volumes of money around the clock. Others provide  one-on-one consultations, helping families save for college. And still  others work freelance, lending their unique problem-solving skills to  whichever clients need them the most. Across the board, however, all  indications suggest that new opportunities for finance professionals  should keep pace with the national average for most other occupational  fields.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;http://world-edu.info/bachelor-degree-in-finance/&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7859045714504642815-5500035276403400384?l=solar-dryers.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://solar-dryers.blogspot.com/feeds/5500035276403400384/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7859045714504642815&amp;postID=5500035276403400384' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7859045714504642815/posts/default/5500035276403400384'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7859045714504642815/posts/default/5500035276403400384'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://solar-dryers.blogspot.com/2011/07/bachelor-degree-in-finance.html' title='Bachelor Degree in Finance'/><author><name>Sutainner</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7859045714504642815.post-2995507864916320980</id><published>2011-07-25T12:14:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-07-25T12:15:00.221-07:00</updated><title type='text'>DuPont Expands in Solar Energy with Acquisition of Innovalight</title><content type='html'>&lt;table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" &gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td valign="top" style="font: inherit;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://solar-module-panels.com/pv/innovalight-is-acquisited-by-dupont/"&gt;DuPont has acquired Innovalight&lt;/a&gt;, a company specializing in advanced  silicon inks and process technologies that increase the efficiency of  crystalline silicon solar cells. The acquisition further strengthens  DuPont's position as a leader in materials for the solar energy market,  enabling a broader and more integrated photovoltaic materials and  technology offering from DuPont. Financial terms of the acquisition were  not disclosed. &lt;p&gt;DuPont exceeded &lt;span class="xn-money"&gt;$1 billion&lt;/span&gt; in revenue from sales into the photovoltaic market in 2010, and has set a goal to reach &lt;span class="xn-money"&gt;$2 billion&lt;/span&gt;  by 2014 based on continued growth supported by new innovations that  improve solar module efficiency, lifetime and overall system costs.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;"Innovalight has very exciting technology that improves cell  efficiency and DuPont can help expedite its adoption," said David B.  Miller, president - DuPont Electronics &amp;amp; Communications. "DuPont and  Innovalight share a commitment to innovation in materials that have a  common purpose - to make solar energy more efficient and more  affordable."&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Innovalight, located in &lt;span class="xn-location"&gt;Sunnyvale, Calif.&lt;/span&gt;,  has developed innovative proprietary silicon ink products, process  technology and a pipeline of anticipated products. Silicon inks used in  conjunction with DuPont'' Solamet® photovoltaic metallization pastes  boost the amount of electricity produced from sunlight, enabling the  production of superior Selective Emitter solar cells. According to  industry estimates, Selective Emitter technology could represent 13  percent of crystalline silicon solar cell production by 2013 and up to  38 percent by 2020.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;"Innovalight brings in-depth knowledge of solar devices, silicon  technology and Selective Emitter technology, and DuPont adds expertise  in materials science, manufacturing capabilities and global market  access," said &lt;span class="xn-person"&gt;Conrad Burke&lt;/span&gt;, founder -  Innovalight. "Our offerings are complementary to one another, and  together we will broaden and accelerate our ability to meet customer  needs and address today''s energy challenges with our continued  innovations."&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://solar-module-panels.com/pv/innovalight-is-acquisited-by-dupont/"&gt;DuPont anticipates that the acquisition&lt;/a&gt; will enable opportunities for  greater efficiencies and future innovations which could more quickly  and effectively help address the market demand for higher-efficiency  solar cell designs. DuPont experience in production scale-up and  manufacturing operations will accelerate time-to-market for Innovalight  products and broaden customers'' access to the technology. In addition,  DuPont''s broad range of offerings in photovoltaic module materials,  including backsheet films and encapsulants, will help accelerate  adoption of new high efficiency solar cells that need to be packaged  into modules to meet in-field performance requirements.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Source; http://solar-module-panels.com/pv/innovalight-is-acquisited-by-dupont/&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7859045714504642815-2995507864916320980?l=solar-dryers.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://solar-dryers.blogspot.com/feeds/2995507864916320980/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7859045714504642815&amp;postID=2995507864916320980' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7859045714504642815/posts/default/2995507864916320980'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7859045714504642815/posts/default/2995507864916320980'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://solar-dryers.blogspot.com/2011/07/dupont-expands-in-solar-energy-with.html' title='DuPont Expands in Solar Energy with Acquisition of Innovalight'/><author><name>Sutainner</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7859045714504642815.post-4905502500313245796</id><published>2011-07-25T11:50:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2011-07-25T11:50:40.378-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Bachelor of Arts Degree</title><content type='html'>&lt;table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" &gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td valign="top" style="font: inherit;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://world-edu.info/"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;font class="title"&gt;Bachelor of Arts Degree&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.bachelordegreecollege.com/images/spacer.GIF" width="200" height="5"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;font class="body"&gt; &lt;a href="http://world-edu.info/what-is-bachelor-of-arts-degree/"&gt;A bachelor of arts degree&lt;/a&gt;, also known as a BA degree, is an  undergraduate degree granted from universities and colleges.  The  bachelor of arts degree is considered a liberal arts degree whose  purpose is to provide general knowledge in mainly non-scientific  subjects.  Areas of study might include courses in the Humanities,  including Literature, Foreign Language, History, Arts, and Philosophy.   Other classes would be the Social and Behavioral Sciences, such as  Economics, Psychology, or Political Science.&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: verdana,geneva,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 100, 0);"&gt;&lt;a href="http://world-edu.info/"&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="http://world-edu.info/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/bachlor1-150x150.jpg" style="width: 262px; height: 262px;" align="bottom"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12px;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;font class="body"&gt;&lt;br&gt;The typical time  frame to obtain a bachelor of arts degree is 4 years, although some  students finish within 3 years or take as long as 5 years.  While  specific degree requirements vary by school, most schools require at  least 120 units to receive the bachelor of arts degree, with a certain  number of classes designated as upper division.  Students must first  complete a general studies or core curriculum program. During the second  year of study, students must declare a major, which is an area of  interest, and take the specified number of related courses.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;A  &lt;a href="http://world-edu.info/what-is-bachelor-of-arts-degree/"&gt;bachelor of arts degree&lt;/a&gt; provides options for students upon graduation.   Some may continue their education and receive a master's or doctorate  degree.  Other students opt to enter the workforce in such fields as  education, journalism, or business.  Not only is a BA degree more  lucrative, the broad based education prepares students to be well  rounded, culturally knowledgeable, and equipped with communication and  critical thinking skills.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Source: http://world-edu.info/what-is-bachelor-of-arts-degree/&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7859045714504642815-4905502500313245796?l=solar-dryers.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://solar-dryers.blogspot.com/feeds/4905502500313245796/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7859045714504642815&amp;postID=4905502500313245796' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7859045714504642815/posts/default/4905502500313245796'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7859045714504642815/posts/default/4905502500313245796'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://solar-dryers.blogspot.com/2011/07/bachelor-of-arts-degree.html' title='Bachelor of Arts Degree'/><author><name>Sutainner</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7859045714504642815.post-5339489204490478035</id><published>2011-07-24T04:34:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2011-07-24T04:34:41.577-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Bachelor’s Business Degree Salary</title><content type='html'>&lt;table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" &gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td valign="top" style="font: inherit;"&gt;&lt;font class="body"&gt;&lt;a href="http://world-edu.info/bachelors-business-degree-salary/"&gt;A bachelor degree&lt;/a&gt; is also the first step on the road  to graduate degrees, where the payoff gets even better.

Consequently, the opportunity for major cost breakthroughs over the  medium term is limited.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Batteries are used in the substantial off-grid solar markets, but  also in on-grid markets, where the customer requires power even during  periods that the electricity grid is down. Batteries can account for  around 15% of the cost of an installed solar energy system.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;While there are many more &lt;a href="http://solar-module-panels.com/pv/solar-battery-prices/"&gt;battery manufacturers&lt;/a&gt;  than solar cell manufacturers, the market is segmented both by battery  technology and location. Not all battery manufacturers serve the solar  electric market. A high weight to price ratio means that where possible  companies minimize transportation of batteries. Therefore, it is  typical, for example, for a European manufacturer to mainly serve  European markets.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;h4&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Pricing Summary&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h4&gt; &lt;p&gt;From a survey of 384 prices from 21 online retailers, there were just  four price moves this month as compared to 16 moves in the prior month.  There were three price increases and one price decrease compared to 14  price increases and two price decreases in June's result. The US index  was unchanged at $0.213 per watt hour.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://solar-module-panels.com/pv/solar-battery-prices/"&gt;For batteries most commonly used&lt;/a&gt;, the average retail price is from  $0.239/watt hour to $0.260/watt hour; the high end industrial solution  is $0.361/watt hour.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Unlike the methodology for the solar module price index, which  separates Europe-based dealers from United States dealers, the battery  index pools all the prices in the survey, for all dealers worldwide, and  translates them in to either dollars or euros regardless of the  original currency. In the past month, the dollar was unchanged against  the euro. As a result, the overall euro index was unchanged at €0.149  per output watt hour.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The battery price index is based upon "price per watt hour" rating.  Though not a perfect measure, since technology choice and other  technical factors are relevant, the consistent approach in the index  provides a representative guide on the direction and magnitude of  changes. The index calculation is based upon the aggregate of all the  prices divided by the aggregate output watts at 20 amp hours.

At the same time, the average MBA salary for those passing out  of other business schools can be in the range of USD 75,000 to USD  90,000 per year. At this point, it is important to know that average MBA  starting salary depends on how good the institute from which you pass  out is and how much knowledge you acquire in your two years of course  duration. The starting salaries for MBA students also depend on the  growth of the economy of a country. During the times of economic  recession, it was observed that these salaries had reduced considerably.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;table style="height: 130px;" width="391" border="1" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"&gt; &lt;tbody&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td valign="top"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Job   Title&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td valign="top"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;National   Salary &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td valign="top"&gt;Senior Financial Analyst&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td valign="top"&gt;$63,250 –   $77,570&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td valign="top"&gt;Financial Controller&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td valign="top"&gt;$68,902 –   $100,582&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td valign="top"&gt;Project Manager, Information Technology (IT)&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td valign="top"&gt;$73,981 –   $99,651&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td valign="top"&gt;Chief Financial Officer (CFO)&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td valign="top"&gt;$97,563 –   $168,874&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td valign="top"&gt;Marketing Director&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td valign="top"&gt;$79,638 –   $141,443&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td valign="top"&gt;Operations Director&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td valign="top"&gt;$86,325 –   $122,884&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td valign="top"&gt;Human Resources (HR) Manager&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td valign="top"&gt;$52,734 –   $77,901&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;/tbody&gt; &lt;/table&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Management graduates working in the government sector can also expect high salaries in the range of USD 55,000&lt;span id="more-130"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;to USD 75,000 per year. MBA graduates working in the  health care sector can easily make more than USD 100,000 per year, due  to the fast growth in this sector around the world. On the upper side,  the MBA graduate salaries can be in excess of USD 150,000 for those  having an experience of more than seven years. With an experience of  more than ten years, you can earn around USD 200,000 or more depending  on your position and skill.&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;h2&gt;Master of Business Administration – MBA Degree Salary Data&lt;/h2&gt; &lt;p&gt;In many careers, there is a direct relationship between educational  achievement and salary growth. When it comes to a business  administration degree, the impact of earning a master's can be  exponential. Business degrees can put students on the right track to  career success and fair salaries, but if you want to reach your full  salary potential, completing a Master of Business Administration degree  may be necessary. On average, MBA Salaries tend to be higher than  Bachelor of Business Administration Degree salaries. Since an MBA degree  can often lead to a significant salary advantage, it's not surprising  that many students go on to earn a Master of Business Administration  degree, despite the time and financial investment that obtaining a  graduate level degree entails. Earning an MBA degree is certainly more  convenient now than ever before. Thanks to a growing trend of legitimate  online degree programs, students also have the option to pursue an  Online Master of Business Administration Degree.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Factors Influencing &lt;a href="http://world-edu.info/mba-salary/"&gt;MBA Salaries&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The average MBA starting salary depends, to a large extent, on the  institute from where you complete your graduation degree. Most education  experts would suggest completing your MBA program from an 'A rated'  college or university. Your salary and position will also depend on how  well you can practically implement the concepts learned in your books.  The next factor influencing average MBA salary is the location of the  job. Whether it is an European country or an Asian country, those  working in large and developed cities will earn more than their  counterparts working in remote areas. Having said so, one should also  note that the cost of living is quite high in large cities as compared  to the smaller ones. The kind of employer you work for is also a  deciding factor for your salary. Management graduates working for large  corporations with varied business interests will earn more than those  working in smaller enterprises.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;MBA Starting Salaries&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;There's no question that earning an MBA degree can lead to greater  job opportunities as well as higher salaries. But what can recent  graduates expect when it comes to MBA starting salaries? According to  PayScale's salary survey data, the median MBA Starting Salary is around  $47,000. In addition to starting salaries, the Average Vacation Time for  MBA degree holders just entering the workforce is around two weeks per  year.  Other Popular Benefits for employees with an MBA degree include a  401(k), life insurance, and paid sick leave. In addition to a regular  compensation package, many employees will enjoy an annual bonus. Take a  look at the chart comparing the median Bonus for MBA Degree holders to  see what kind of impact experience level can have on this annual perk.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Resource: &lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://world-edu.info/mba-salary/"&gt;http://world-edu.info/mba-salary/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7859045714504642815-355426468187871000?l=solar-dryers.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://solar-dryers.blogspot.com/feeds/355426468187871000/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7859045714504642815&amp;postID=355426468187871000' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7859045714504642815/posts/default/355426468187871000'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7859045714504642815/posts/default/355426468187871000'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://solar-dryers.blogspot.com/2011/06/how-much-is-average-mba-salary.html' title='How Much is  Average MBA Salary?'/><author><name>Sutainner</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7859045714504642815.post-1487004927029602130</id><published>2011-06-09T07:04:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2011-06-09T07:04:57.452-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Acer Iconia Tab A500-10S16u 10.1-Inch Tablet Computer - Review</title><content type='html'>&lt;table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" &gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td valign="top" style="font: inherit;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://netfinest.com/acer-tablet-computer-iconia-tab-a500/"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Acer Iconia Tab A500&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;-10S16u 10.1-Inch Tablet Computer – Review &lt;p style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img class="size-full wp-image-196 aligncenter" title="Acer Iconia Tab A500" src="http://netfinest.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/Acer-Iconia-Tab-A500.jpeg" alt="Acer Iconia Tab A500" width="263" height="192"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

The Sustainable Energy Society of Southern Africa has been long looking forward to hosting the event and after 22 years away from Southern Africa this event is coming home for SESSA. Africa is the continent of sunshine and when I look at major world wide developments in our respective industries I am always saddened that Africa lags far behind and in fact is often left off the radar screen for renewable energy development. Most places in Africa photovoltaic systems are the only source of providing light to those infamous 2 billion people that lives on less that $1 a day and without access to sources of modernity such as electrification. I believe it is our duty to do all we can to allow Africa to see the light.

The pyranometer output was connected to the data logger and recorded every 10 minutes. However, it was difficult to obtain steady radiation levels due to intermittent cloud cover and frequent movement of clouds. The ambient temperature was measured with a probe located in the inlet of the collector and was assumed to be equal to inlet air temperature.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="text-indent: 0.39in; margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 150%;" align="justify"&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman, serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;Preliminary tests conducted indicated that the temperature profile across the width of the collector was uniform. In the test, therefore, the temperature was measured just in the centerline along the length of the collector at three points. The measurement points were located at 10 cm from the inlet side, at the center, and at 10 cm from outlet side of the collector, respectively. The temperature measurements were also measured at the bottom plate, in the air stream, and at the absorber plate. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class="western" style="text-indent: 0.5in; margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 150%;" align="justify"&gt; &lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman, serif;"&gt;The experimental results of the diurnal variation of temperatures of the solar collector outlet air, absorber, ambient, and solar radiation are presented in Figures 6.5 and 6.6. Data for a typical day-June 28, 2005 - is shown in Figure 6.5. During the day the solar radiation was relatively low, varying from 200 – 900 W/m², and fluctuated considerably due to moving cloud. However, the rise in air temperature due to the generated air flow rate in the collector was sufficient for the purpose of drying most agricultural products. For the inlet air temperature (ambient temperature) of 40&lt;sup&gt;o&lt;/sup&gt;C, the maximum outlet air temperature was recorded as 56&lt;sup&gt;o&lt;/sup&gt;C at the solar radiation level of 960 W/m&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt;. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class="western" style="text-indent: 0.5in; margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 150%;" align="justify"&gt; &lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman, serif;"&gt;Figure 6.6 shows another data for one typical day of February 8, 2005, one of the early days of the dry season in the region and the solar radiation was less fluctuating. The maximum outlet air temperature recorded was 76&lt;sup&gt;o&lt;/sup&gt;C at the solar radiation level of 1000 W/m&lt;sup&gt;2 &lt;/sup&gt; and an ambient temperature of 40&lt;sup&gt;o&lt;/sup&gt;C. Comparison between Figure 6.5 and Figure 6.6, shows that the low and modestly fluctuating solar radiation due to moving clouds, as is typical for the tests in February-March, significantly effects the air temperature at the collector out let&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="western" style="text-indent: 0.5in; margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 150%;" align="justify"&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p class="western" style="text-indent: 0.5in; margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 150%;" align="justify"&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="western" style="text-indent: 0.5in; margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 150%;" align="justify"&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="western" style="text-indent: 0.5in; margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 150%;" align="justify"&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="western" style="text-indent: 0.5in; margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 150%;" align="justify"&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="western" style="text-indent: 0.5in; margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 150%;" align="justify"&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7859045714504642815-4696491452154195421?l=solar-dryers.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://solar-dryers.blogspot.com/feeds/4696491452154195421/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7859045714504642815&amp;postID=4696491452154195421' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7859045714504642815/posts/default/4696491452154195421'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7859045714504642815/posts/default/4696491452154195421'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://solar-dryers.blogspot.com/2007/11/solar-collector-performance-test-of-my.html' title=''/><author><name>Sutainner</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7859045714504642815.post-7404752734679419648</id><published>2007-11-30T10:58:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2007-11-30T11:08:30.884-08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'> &lt;P CLASS="western" ALIGN=JUSTIFY STYLE="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 150%"&gt; &lt;FONT SIZE=3&gt;&lt;FONT FACE="Times New Roman, serif"&gt;Test of Solar Drying Performance &amp;ndash; &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;FONT COLOR="#0000ff"&gt;&lt;U&gt;&lt;A HREF="http://solar-dryers.blogspot.com/2007/11/my-solar-dryer.html"&gt;&lt;FONT SIZE=3&gt;&lt;FONT FACE="Times New Roman, serif"&gt;My Solar Dryer&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/U&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt; &lt;P CLASS="western" ALIGN=JUSTIFY STYLE="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 150%"&gt; &lt;BR&gt; &lt;/P&gt; &lt;P CLASS="western" ALIGN=JUSTIFY STYLE="text-indent: 0.5in; margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 150%"&gt; &lt;FONT FACE="Times New Roman, serif"&gt;&lt;FONT SIZE=3&gt;The performance of the solar dryer was evaluated from June 2005 through March 2006.

Serial tests were conducted for both loaded and unloaded conditions. For the loaded conditions, the evaluation were made for drying of fresh red chillies, unshelled groundnuts, unshelled soybean, shelled soybean, coffee cherry, and unshelled candle nuts. &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt; &lt;/P&gt; &lt;P CLASS="western" ALIGN=JUSTIFY STYLE="text-indent: 0.5in; margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 150%"&gt; &lt;FONT FACE="Times New Roman, serif"&gt;&lt;FONT SIZE=3&gt;The tests were also conducted with a variation of energy sources for drying; solar energy, burning of biomass (fire wood), and a combination of solar energy and biomass.

The air mass flow rate was measured with an anemometer.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt; &lt;H2 CLASS="western"&gt;6.1 Instrumentation  &lt;/H2&gt; &lt;P ALIGN=JUSTIFY STYLE="text-indent: 0.5in; margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 150%"&gt; &lt;FONT FACE="Times New Roman, serif"&gt;&lt;FONT SIZE=3&gt;The measured parameters were temperature, moisture content level, solar radiation, relative humidity, mass of products to be dried, mass of fuel wood to be burnt, wind speed, and airflow rate through the dryer. A combination of hand-held instruments and sensors connected to a data logger (DataTaker 605) were used to record the measurements. A photograph of the data logger is shown in Figure 6.1.

&lt;p align='justify' style='text-indent: 0.5in; margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 150%;'&gt; &lt;font face='Times New Roman, serif'&gt;&lt;font size='3'&gt;The initial moisture content of the dried fresh red chillies in the next test was 260%, d.b., (equivalent to 72%, w.b.) This is similar to the results reported by Sittiphong et al., (2001). The chillies should then be dried until the level of moisture is about 15 % d. b. Two experiments were performed for the dryer evaluation with drying of red chillies. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p align='justify' style='text-indent: 0.5in; margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 150%;'&gt; &lt;font face='Times New Roman, serif'&gt;&lt;font size='3'&gt;The first experiment was carried out during 18–19 September, 2005 with a load of 35 kg of fresh product. This loading is about full capacity of the dryer trays, each with a thin layer of chillies. Drying was started at 18:00 by burning about 60 kg of wood (one time of feeding). Initially, the combustion was quite difficult to take place as the wood-fuels was wet due to its direct exposure to the rain. As a result, during the first 5 hours of burning, the increasing of the tray temperature was relatively slow. Drying was continued for the following day by using the solar energy. This means that, for the first 13 hours of the experiment, the source of heat was from wood burning, and for the remaining period the heat was from both solar energy and wood burning.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p align='justify' style='text-indent: 0.5in; margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 150%;'&gt; &lt;br/&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p align='justify' style='text-indent: 0.5in; margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 150%;'&gt; &lt;font face='Times New Roman, serif'&gt;&lt;font size='3'&gt;The decrease of moisture content during the experiment is shown in Figure 6.20. The products on tray 1 and 2 took about 11 and 13 hours, respectively, to reach a moisture level of 15%. This means the products on the two trays were dried only by burning wood as the source of heat. For the products on tray 3 and 4, during the first 13 hours of drying using back-up heater, the moisture content was reduced to 50 and 125 %, respectively, and therefore, drying had to continue during the following day to reach the wanted level. During the following day the energy for drying was supplied by both solar and by the stored heat in the bricks. With moderate level of solar radiation, it took the whole day for products on tray 3 and 4 to reach a moisture content of 15%. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p align='justify' style='text-indent: 0.5in; margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 150%;'&gt; &lt;br/&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p align='justify' style='text-indent: 0.5in; margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 150%;'&gt; &lt;br/&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p align='justify' style='text-indent: 0.5in; margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 150%;'&gt; &lt;br/&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p align='justify' style='text-indent: 0.5in; margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 150%;'&gt; &lt;br/&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p align='justify' style='text-indent: 0.5in; margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 150%;'&gt; &lt;br/&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p align='justify' style='text-indent: 0.5in; margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 150%;'&gt; &lt;br/&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p align='justify' style='text-indent: 0.5in; margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 150%;'&gt; &lt;br/&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p align='justify' style='text-indent: 0.5in; margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 150%;'&gt; &lt;br/&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p lang='' align='justify' style='text-indent: 0.5in; margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 150%;'&gt; &lt;img hspace='13' align='left' src='http://docs.google.com/File?id=dfjxv5vc_12fskg8cc4'/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p align='justify' style='text-indent: 0.5in; margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 150%;'&gt; &lt;br/&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p lang='' align='justify' style='text-indent: 0.5in; margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 150%;'&gt; &lt;img hspace='13' align='left' src='http://docs.google.com/File?id=dfjxv5vc_13g6ntgpdr'/&gt;&lt;span style='border: medium none ; padding: 0in; background: rgb(255, 255, 255) none repeat scroll 0% 50%; float: left; width: 1.5in; height: 0.38in; -moz-background-clip: -moz-initial; -moz-background-origin: -moz-initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: -moz-initial;' dir='ltr' id='Frame1'&gt; 	&lt;p style='margin-bottom: 0in;' class='western'&gt;&lt;font size='2' style='font-size: 9pt;'&gt;&lt;font face='Times New Roman, serif'&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br/&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p align='justify' style='text-indent: 0.5in; margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 150%;'&gt; &lt;br/&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p align='justify' style='text-indent: 0.5in; margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 150%;'&gt; &lt;br/&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style='margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 150%;'&gt;&lt;br/&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style='margin-bottom: 0in;' class='western'&gt;&lt;br/&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style='margin-bottom: 0in;' class='western'&gt;&lt;br/&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style='margin-bottom: 0in;' class='western'&gt;&lt;br/&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style='margin-bottom: 0in;' class='western'&gt;&lt;br/&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style='margin-bottom: 0in;' class='western'&gt;&lt;br/&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style='margin-bottom: 0in;' class='western'&gt;&lt;br/&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style='margin-bottom: 0in;' class='western'&gt;&lt;br/&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style='margin-bottom: 0in;' class='western'&gt;&lt;br/&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style='margin-bottom: 0in;' class='western'&gt;&lt;br/&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style='margin-bottom: 0in;' class='western'&gt;&lt;br/&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style='margin-bottom: 0in;' class='western'&gt;&lt;br/&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style='margin-bottom: 0in;' class='western'&gt;&lt;br/&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style='margin-bottom: 0in;' class='western'&gt;&lt;br/&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style='margin-bottom: 0in;' class='western'&gt;&lt;br/&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style='margin-bottom: 0in;' class='western'&gt;&lt;br/&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style='margin-bottom: 0in;' class='western'&gt;&lt;br/&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style='margin-bottom: 0in;' class='western'&gt;&lt;br/&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style='margin-bottom: 0in;' class='western'&gt;&lt;br/&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;font size='3'&gt;&lt;font face='Times New Roman, serif'&gt;Another experiment was conducted during March 4 -6, 2006 with drying of about 35 kg of red chillies using only solar energy. During the test, the solar radiation was relatively high with an average daily insolation of 5.8 kWh/m&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt;. Diurnal variation of solar radiation, and drying air on each tray during the first day of experiment, is shown in Figure 6.21. Drying occurred mainly during daytime, but, during nighttime, while the products were kept in the dryer, there was still a  small decrease of moisture content observed. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;p align='justify' style='text-indent: 0.5in; margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 150%;' class='western'&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;font size='3'&gt;&lt;font face='Times New Roman, serif'&gt;The decreasing of moisture content of products on each tray is shown in Figure 6.22. The figure also shows the moisture content changes by sun drying. The products on tray 4 took about one and a half day to reach moisture content of 15%., and continued drying resulted in a final moisture content of 5.4 % by the end of the second day. For the products on tray 1, 2 and 3, the moisture content was about 127, 146, and 98 %, respectively, by the end of the second day.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font size='3'&gt;&lt;font face='Times New Roman, serif'&gt;During the third day of drying, the product on tray 4 was interchanged with that on tray 1. This resulted in the moisture content of the product (initially from tray 1) reaching 15% at noon of the third day, and about 1% by the end of the day. For the forth day, tray 4 was re-interchanged again with tray 2. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;p align='justify' style='text-indent: 0.5in; margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 150%;' class='western'&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;font size='3'&gt;&lt;font face='Times New Roman, serif'&gt;By interchange trays, all the products were declared dry at noon of the forth day. From these experimental results, the interchanges of trays are recommended for the uniformity of drying and for a uniform drying time, and to avoid over drying of the products. To get uniform drying in the shortest time, the dryness level and solar radiation during the drying days have to be carefully estimated in determination the optimal timing for the trays interchange.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt; &lt;p align='justify' style='text-indent: 0.5in; margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 150%;' class='western'&gt; &lt;br/&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p align='justify' style='text-indent: 0.5in; margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 150%;' class='western'&gt; &lt;br/&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p align='justify' style='text-indent: 0.5in; margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 150%;' class='western'&gt; &lt;br/&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p align='justify' style='text-indent: 0.5in; margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 150%;' class='western'&gt; &lt;br/&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p align='justify' style='text-indent: 0.5in; margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 150%;' class='western'&gt; &lt;br/&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p align='justify' style='text-indent: 0.5in; margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 150%;' class='western'&gt; &lt;br/&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style='margin-bottom: 0in;' class='western'&gt;&lt;br/&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style='margin-bottom: 0in;' class='western'&gt;&lt;br/&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style='margin-bottom: 0in;' class='western'&gt;&lt;br/&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style='margin-bottom: 0in;' class='western'&gt;&lt;br/&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style='margin-bottom: 0in;' class='western'&gt;&lt;br/&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style='margin-bottom: 0in;' class='western'&gt;&lt;br/&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style='margin-bottom: 0in;' class='western'&gt;&lt;br/&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style='margin-bottom: 0in;' class='western'&gt;&lt;br/&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style='margin-bottom: 0in;' class='western'&gt;&lt;br/&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p class='poweredbyperformancing'&gt;Powered by &lt;a href='http://scribefire.com/'&gt;ScribeFire&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7859045714504642815-4143793943335763861?l=solar-dryers.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://solar-dryers.blogspot.com/feeds/4143793943335763861/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7859045714504642815&amp;postID=4143793943335763861' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7859045714504642815/posts/default/4143793943335763861'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7859045714504642815/posts/default/4143793943335763861'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://solar-dryers.blogspot.com/2007/11/solar-drying-of-red-chillies-using-of_29.html' title='Solar Drying of Red Chillies – Using of My Dryer'/><author><name>Sutainner</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7859045714504642815.post-8617646820500557147</id><published>2007-11-29T09:56:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2007-11-29T09:56:13.921-08:00</updated><title type='text'> Drying Characteristics of Red Chillies</title><content type='html'>&lt;div xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'&gt;&lt;p align='justify' style='margin-bottom: 0.17in; line-height: 150%;' class='western'&gt;  &lt;font face='Times New Roman, serif'&gt;&lt;font size='3'&gt;&lt;b&gt;Drying Characteristics of&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;font size='3'&gt;&lt;font face='Times New Roman, serif'&gt; Red Chillies&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;font size='3'&gt;&lt;font face='Times New Roman, serif'&gt;Kaleemullah and Kailappan (2004) reported the equilibrium moisture for small red chillies using the static method at 25, 35 and 45&lt;sup&gt;o&lt;/sup&gt;C over a range of relative humidities from 11.5 to 86.5%.

Drying of red chilli in the ranges of 55–70&lt;sup&gt;o&lt;/sup&gt;C and 1.5 m/s air velocity was found to be satisfactory.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p align='justify' style='line-height: 150%;' class='western'&gt;&lt;img hspace='13' align='left' src='http://docs.google.com/File?id=dfjxv5vc_4gd8pf37j'/&gt;&lt;br clear='left'/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;h1 style='text-indent: 0.49in; margin-bottom: 0.17in;' class='western'&gt; &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; &lt;/h1&gt; &lt;h1 style='text-indent: 0.49in; margin-bottom: 0.17in;' class='western'&gt; &lt;img hspace='13' align='left' src='http://docs.google.com/File?id=dfjxv5vc_5hpqxpcfp'/&gt;&lt;br clear='left'/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; &lt;/h1&gt; &lt;p style='margin-bottom: 0in;' class='western'&gt;&lt;br/&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p class='poweredbyperformancing'&gt;Powered by &lt;a href='http://scribefire.com/'&gt;ScribeFire&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7859045714504642815-8617646820500557147?l=solar-dryers.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://solar-dryers.blogspot.com/feeds/8617646820500557147/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7859045714504642815&amp;postID=8617646820500557147' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7859045714504642815/posts/default/8617646820500557147'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7859045714504642815/posts/default/8617646820500557147'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://solar-dryers.blogspot.com/2007/11/drying-characteristics-of-red-chillies_29.html' title=' Drying Characteristics of Red Chillies'/><author><name>Sutainner</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7859045714504642815.post-5854346909696890206</id><published>2007-11-28T11:28:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2007-11-28T11:39:23.001-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Solar drying for some agricultural in Northern of Sumatra-My personal recent investigation</title><content type='html'>&lt;p class="MsoBodyText" style="text-indent: 36pt;"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;A preliminary identification of the community needs for the solar drying application of agricultural products in the Province of North Sumatra, Indonesia, had been made by means field survey and literature reviews. Farmer need to dry selected agricultural products; For this solar dryer could be applied. The products are candle nuts, coffee, chillies, soybeans, ground nuts, and mung beans. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoBodyText" style="text-indent: 36pt;"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;Drying characteristics for the selected agricultural products were studied for the purpose of designing a solar dryer. &lt;span class="fullpost"&gt;In particular, the drying characteristics of candle nuts, including its sorption isotherms and drying rates, were investigated in a laboratory. It was found that the unshelled kernels of candle nuts had a higher equilibrium moisture content than shelled kernels. In both cases hysteresis was pronounced, and decreased as the temperature was increased. The isosteric heat of desorption was higher than the isosteric heat of adsorption. The GAB equation gave a satisfactory goodness of fit to the unshelled kernel data. For the drying-rate experiment, t&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="TH"&gt;he measurements were taken for unshelled kernels of candle nuts, f&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;rom&lt;span lang="TH"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;both fresh and stored samples. Measurements were made at the temperatures of 40, 50, and 60&lt;sup&gt;o&lt;/sup&gt;C and a drying air velocity of 0.67 m/s, and about 1 m/s using a forced convection dryer. The total drying time was substantially reduced with an increase in temperature, but the effect of the air velocity was relatively small. Page’s model adequately describes the drying behavior for the range of temperatures measured. The dependence of the drying constant on air temperature can be described by the Arrhenius model.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 150%;"&gt;A mixed mode natural convection solar dryer, combined with a simple biomass burner and heat storage as a back-up heating system, was designed. The design considerations covered type of product to be dried, physical drying characteristics, capacity, construction material, type of dryer, and included prediction through modeling and numerical simulation. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 150%;"&gt;A pilot solar dryer was constructed in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Prince of Songkla University Hat Yai, &lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;Thailand&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt;. The type of dryer was mixed mode, natural convection, with biomass and heat storage back-up heating system. Serial tests for performance evaluation of the dryer were conducted from June 2005 through March 2006. From the tests, the dryer was found to be satisfactory for drying selected agricultural products, including candle nuts, chillies, coffee cherries, soybean, and ground nuts. The overall thermal efficiency of the dryer, tested for drying of the listed products, was found to be in the range of 3 - 13%. The overall thermal efficiency of the biomass back-up heater&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 150%;"&gt;was found to be about 20%&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="line-height: 150%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Solar dried chilies were used for sensory evaluation of the product quality. The results of sensory evaluation showed that the solar dried product gained good acceptance for its color, aroma, and texture. The cost for construction of the dryer was estimated to be 50,000 Thailand Bath (US$1,250). The payback period of the dryer was estimated to be 2.5 - 3 years.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7859045714504642815-5854346909696890206?l=solar-dryers.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://solar-dryers.blogspot.com/feeds/5854346909696890206/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7859045714504642815&amp;postID=5854346909696890206' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7859045714504642815/posts/default/5854346909696890206'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7859045714504642815/posts/default/5854346909696890206'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://solar-dryers.blogspot.com/2007/11/solar-drying-for-some-agricultural-in.html' title='Solar drying for some agricultural in Northern of Sumatra-My personal recent investigation'/><author><name>Sutainner</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7859045714504642815.post-2947873700733830015</id><published>2007-11-11T09:01:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2007-11-11T09:27:22.682-08:00</updated><title type='text'>From Solar World Congress 2007- Beijing</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span class="px12"&gt;International Solar Energy Society and the Chinese Solar Energy Society were recently organizing and hosting the ISES Solar World Congress 2007 (SWC2007) in &lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:city st="on"&gt;Beijing&lt;/st1:City&gt;,  &lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;China&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt;, from September 18 to 21, 2007.

The following is the summarize of my review:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Soponronnarit (1995) reviewed the research and development work in solar drying conducted in &lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;Thailand&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt; during the past 15 years (since 1980s). He found that, in term of techniques and economy, solar drying for some crops such as paddy, multiple crops and fruit is feasible. However, the method has not been widely accepted by farmers. Most of the solar air heaters developed in &lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;Thailand&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; have used modifications to the building roofs. Both bare and glass-covered solar air heaters were reported to be technically and economically feasible when compared to electricity but have not been able to compete with fuel oil.&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;Bahnasawy and Shenana (2004) developed a mathematical model of direct sun and solar drying of some fermented dairy products (kishk). The main components of the equations describing the drying system were solar radiation, heat convection, heat gained or lost from the dryer bin wall and the latent heat of moisture evaporation. The model was able to predict the drying temperatures at a wide range of relative humidity values. It also has the capability to predict the moisture loss from the product at wide ranges of relative humidity values, temperatures and air velocities. &lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Enein et al. (2000) reported a parametric study of a solar air heater with and without thermal storage for solar drying applications. An optimization process for a flat-plate solar air heater with and without thermal storage was carried out. Three kinds of material for thermal storage were used, i.e. water, stones and sand. The average temperature of flowing air increases with the increase of the collector length and width up to typical values for these parameters. The outlet temperature of flowing air was found to decrease with an increase of the airflow channel spacing and mass flow rate. The thermal performance of the air heater with sensible storage materials is considerably higher than that without the storage. An optimal thickness of the storage material of about 0.12 m was found to be convenient for drying various agriculture products. In addition, the proposed mathematical model may be used for estimating of the thermal performance of flat plate-solar air heater with and without thermal storage.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="fullpost"&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Pangavhen et al. (2002) proposed a design, development and performance testing of a new convection solar dryerThe solar dryer is capable of producing average temperature between 50 and 55°C, which was optimal for dehydration of grapes as well as for most of the fruits and vegetables. This system was capable of generating an adequate natural flow of hot air to enhance the drying rate. The drying airflow rate increases with ambient temperature by the thermal buoyancy in the collector. The collector efficiencies ranged between 26% for mass flow rate of 0.0126 kg/s of air and 65% for mass flow rate of 0.0246 kg/s. This was sufficient for heating the drying air. The drying time of grapes was reduced by 43% compared to the open sun drying.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;            &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;Bena and Fuller (2002) developed a direct-type natural convection solar dryer with simple biomass burner. It was expected to be suitable for small-scale processors of dried fruits and vegetables in non-electrified areas of developing countries. The capacity of the dryer was found to be 20–22 kg of fresh pineapple arranged in a single layer of 1-cm-thick slices. The key features of the biomass burner were found to be the addition of thermal mass on the upper surface, an internal baffle plate to lengthen the exhaust gas exit path and a variable air inlet valve. The author also suggested some modifications to further improve the performance of both the solar and biomass components of the dryer.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Ekechukwu and Norton (1999) presented a comprehensive review of the various designs, details of construction and operational principles for a variety of practical solar-energy drying systems. The appropriateness of each design type for applications used by rural farmers in developing countries was discussed.&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;Mumba (1995) developed a photovoltaic-powered forced-circulation grain dryer for use in the tropics. From performance testing results, it was indicated that the dryer has a capacity of 90 kg (maize) for drying from an initial moisture content 33.3% to under 20% during one day. The important feature of this dryer is the use of photovoltaic solar cell incorporated in the solar air heater section to power a D.C. fan. &lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;Salom et al.( 1996) proposed a mathematical model for indirect solar dryers where the drying chamber is assumed thermally insulated and opaque from the incident radiation. The solar dryer model is composed of a solar collector, a drying chamber and a chimney. The modeled dryer system is based on the chimney effect and natural convection flow. The mathematical model and solution procedure for the prediction of the thermal behavior of indirect solar dryers was presented in order to develop and improve dryer designs. However, the author suggested that the proposed model should be further validated. More information is needed with respect to the values of the chamber pressure drop and the drying rates for indirect solar dryers.&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;Bala et al. (1995) presented a technique for optimization of natural-convection, solar dryers. The optimal design was specified for the condition of &lt;st1:country-region st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;Bangladesh&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;. The physical simulation was combined with a cost prediction and experimental techniques, which found the constrain minimum of total cost per unit moisture removal. The optimum design was a relatively long collector, a thin grain bed and negligible chimney height.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;The result of sensitivity analysis indicated that the design geometry is insensitive to material or fixed costs,&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;but grain capacity has some effects. Turning the grain has almost no effect on drying but greatly reduces over-drying at the bottom of the bed. In addition, the authors suggested that it would be useful if the theory were applied to a wider range of meteorological conditions. It is essential that the optimized drying be verified experimentally.&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;Bennamoun and Azeddine (2003) studied a simple, efficient and inexpensive solar batch dryer for agricultural products through simulations. They used onion as the dried product, and the shrinking effect was taken into account. In addition, it was suggested that the study could be developed for other agricultural products and for the behavior of solar dryer in different seasons. &lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;Sebaii et al. (2002) reported a study of an indirect type natural convection solar which investigated experimentally and theoretically for drying grapes, figs, onions, apples, tomatoes and green peas. The drying constants for the selected crops were obtained from the experimental results and were then correlated with the drying product temperature. Linear correlation between drying constant and product temperature were proposed for the selected crops. The empirical constants of &lt;st1:city st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;Henderson&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:city&gt;’s equation were obtained for all the materials from investigation, which are not available in the literature. The proposed empirical correlation suggested that it could well describe the drying kinetics of the selected crops.&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;Gallali et al. (2000) reported the result of an investigation of some dried fruit and vegetables (grapes, figs, tomatoes and onions) based on chemical analysis (vitamin C, total reducing sugars, acidity, moisture, and ash content) and sensory evaluation data (color, flavor, and texture). They compared products dried by solar dryers and natural sun drying. The study indicated that using solar dryers gives more advantages than natural sun drying, especially in terms of drying time.&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;Karathanos and Belessiotis (1997) reported the sun and solar air drying kinetics of some agricultural products, i.e. sultana grapes, currants, figs, plums and apricots. The drying rates were found for both solar and industrial drying operations. Air and product temperatures were measured for the entire industrial drying process. It was shown that most materials were dried in the falling rate period. Currants, plums, apricots and jigs exhibited two drying rate periods, a first slowly decreasing (almost constant) and a second fast decreasing (falling) drying rate period. In addition, they indicated that the industrial drying operation resulted in a product of superior quality compared to products dried by solar dehydration. &lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;Leon et al., (2002) presented a review of existing evaluation methods and the parameters generally considered for evaluation of solar food dryers. These parameters can be classified as : (i) physical features of the dryers; (ii) thermal performance; (iii) quality of dried product; (iv) cost of dryer and payback period. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;a.

The title is  &lt;b&gt;Solar Dryer Systems and the Internet: important &lt;br/&gt;  resources to improve food preparation, &lt;/b&gt;written by David E. Whitfield V, Director - &lt;br/&gt;  Sobre la Roca, Bolivia. Here is the abstract: &lt;b&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;p style='text-align: justify;' class='MsoNormal'&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;In many countries of the   world, the use of solar thermal systems in the agricultural area to conserve   vegetables, fruits, coffee and other crops has shown to be practical,   economical and the responsible approach environmentally.  Solar heating   systems to dry food and other crops can improve the quality of the product,   while reducing wasted produce and traditional fuels - thus improving the   quality of life, however the availability of good information is lacking in   many of the countries where solar food processing systems are most needed.     This work presents the   performance of several   individual, medium and large-scale food processing systems, which incorporate   solar drying.  Demonstrated achievements through individual medium and large   scale commercial applications will be studied, emphasizing technology transfer   in rural areas.

In this approach, the building itself or some element of it takes advantage of natural energy characteristics in materials and air created by exposure to the sun. Passive systems are simple, have few moving parts and require minimal maintenance.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;                           &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:85%;"  &gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.retscreen.net/ang/g_passiv.php"&gt;&lt;u&gt;Passive Solar Heating Project Model Software &lt;/u&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This software can be used world-wide to easily evaluate the energy production (or savings), life-cycle costs and greenhouse gas emissions reduction for passive solar designs and/or energy efficient window use in low-rise residential and small commercial building applications. The model can be used where there is a relatively significant heating load. The model calculates, for both retrofit or new construction projects, the difference in heating and cooling energy consumption between a proposed passive solar building design (or energy efficient window use) and an identical building but without the passive solar (or energy efficient window) features. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;                           &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:85%;"  &gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.nrel.gov/learning/fr_passive_solar_heating.html"&gt;&lt;u&gt;Passive Solar Heating for Farmers and Ranchers&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This DOE web site offers resources to help you incorporate passive solar heating and daylighting into the buildings on your farm or ranch. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;                           &lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.eere.energy.gov/buildings/info/design/integratedbuilding/passivecooling.html"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;u&gt;Passive                              Solar Cooling&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This DOE web site discusses design strategies that minimize the need for mechanical cooling systems.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.azsolarcenter.com/technology/pas-2.html"&gt;&lt;u&gt;Passive   Solar Architecture - Heating&lt;/u&gt; &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;An Arizona Solar Center web site.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.azsolarcenter.com/technology/pas-3.html"&gt;&lt;u&gt;Passive   Cooling&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;An Arizona Solar Center web site. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.wbdg.org/design/psheating.php"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;Passive Solar Heating &amp;amp; Design&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A Whole Building Design Guide web page. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.wbdg.org/design/suncontrol.php?r=provide_comfort"&gt;&lt;u&gt;Sun Control and Shading Devices&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;                        A Whole Building Design Guide web page&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt;A resource offered by DOE, the American Solar Energy Society and the Solar Electric Power Association to give you an idea of price, savings and system size. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;                         &lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:85%;"  &gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.retscreen.net/ang/g_solara.php"&gt;&lt;u&gt;Solar Air Heating Project Model Software &lt;/u&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This software can be used world-wide to easily evaluate the energy production (or savings), life-cycle costs and greenhouse gas emissions reduction for two basic applications: ventilation air heating and process air heating.
