1.1 Number of consumers Since males, particularly single or divorced males, are the main demanders of commercial sex, an increase in their numbers can increase the demand for commercial sex. An increase in the numbers of postpubertal males can occur for a number of reasons, including high median age at marriage, prolonged postpartum abstinence, and migration. A number of factors can lead to a h...

Three phase induction motors are widely used in industrial, commercial and residential systems, because of their ruggedness, simplicity and relatively low cost. Approximately 65% of the electricity consumed in industry is used to drive electrical motors. Therefore, the efficiency and reliability of induction motors operation is of major importance, in order to improve the energy efficiency in i...

In this paper, we introduce the concept of a “Hegemony of Play,” to critique the way in which a complex layering of technological, commercial and cultural power structures have dominated the development of the digital game industry over the past 35 years, creating an entrenched status quo which ignores the needs and desires of “minority” players such as women and “non-gamers,” Who in fact repre...

India seeks to achieve 175 Giga-Watt (GW) of Renewable power by 2022. As of December 2017, out of 333 GW of total installed capacity of electricity, close to 62GW come from renewable sources. Meeting the set targets calls for augmentation of renewable energy based capacities as expeditiously as possible. However, the sick financial health of the distribution companies/utilities, who act a...

A new class of high power extra fast recovery diode, optimised for IGBT and IGCT applications is presented. These diodes incorporate a novel p-emitter structure and lifetime control to offer real improvements in dynamic performance, combined with improved safe operating area and high reliability. Test data is presented, along with projections for a range of commercial products in industry stand...

For power sector management, selection of suitable areas, the optimum path finding, the profile analyses, the engineering design of towers and wires, and the cost estimation can be done using GIS. GIS is not only useful in developing accurate database, improve internal efficiency levels pertaining to power supply monitoring, commercial and customer services but also extremely useful for importa...

The Great East Japan Earthquake in March 2011 brought about huge power shortage. In order to avoid blackouts, the Japanese society reduced its power demand by 12 % in the summer of 2011. TOKYO and TOHOKU areas, where power shortage was especially severe and mandatory rationing of 15 % was introduced, reduced its power demand by almost 20 %. This paper gives overview of the power saving activiti...
