The vision of Pavegen is to redefine sustainability in the fabricated environment, with the formation of a spearheading flooring innovation that creates power from footsteps and captures information. Urban areas are developing at a rate of 1.5 million individuals consistently and by 2025, up to 40 urban communities will have a populace more prominent than 10 million. The innovation can
of five websites in the utilities sector on the dimensions of control, two-way communication and responsiveness on the basis of a given questionnaire. The companies examined were British Gas, Scottish Power, Scottish Hydro Electric, EDF Energy and E.ON Energy. 2. Critique the content of the questionnaire, developing an argument for why the questionnaire is comprehensive, or how it can be improved by deleting and/or adding dimensions to assess e-service quality. To begin addressing these objectives
Heavy engineering companies make goods comprising large sections of metals, such as ships or cranes. Energy production: the production and distribution of electricity, gas and water. It therefore includes businesses like E.ON and British Gas as well as regional water companies, such as Severn Trent and water collection and bottling companies. Wind farms are also included in this group. Construction: Includes house builders such as Bryant Homes and civil engineering companies
compete more effectively in a liberalized market.

Modern lifestyle is completely dependent on reliable energy supply. We cannot imagine world, its further development and constant economic growth without security of energy supply. But new reserves of fossil fuels are becoming more difficult to find, what makes energy industry to invest in and use unconventional resources such as shale gas and oil sands. Prices of oil, gas and energy itself will get higher but the demand of energy does not seem to decrease. What is more, the European Union hence
1. Question 1 The short run is when at least one factor of production is in fixed supply. The law of diminishing marginal returns is a law, which state that if one factor of production is increase while other factors are in a fixed number like capital, change in total output will first rise and then fall. This law can impact the marginal cost, which is the change in total costs from increasing output by one extra unit. The formula for MC is 'change in total cost divided by change in quantity’
