Title: The Importance of Credible Sources in Supporting Your Argument Sources: 1. “The Importance of Credibility in Research” by Dr. Melinda D. Anderson, published on The Chronicle of Higher Education website. Dr. Mel
I will provide 2 sources. I had a third source but it’s inaccessible to you so you can add 1 more source please and the instructions will be added below.
When
you first introduce a source, name the author and the article, and give a description of the author’s credentials to boost your argument.
Introduce a quote with a signal phrase
Go into detail in describing and utilizing each source
HIGHLIGHT your thesis statement. Remember to write an argument (take a stand on your issue) rather than merely an informative essay that informs us on a topic. -
“Design and Optimization of a Hybrid Parabolic Dish System for Efficient Solar Stirling Engine Power Generation and Thermal Storage”
To
address the challenges of high energy prices and network losses, decentralized
power generation has become essential. Stirling engines, known for their
remarkable efficiency, offer an economically viable solution by harnessing
solar energy, which is not suitable for internal combustion engines. Solar
Stirling engines have the potential to be commercialized and utilized for
decentralized electricity generation on a small to medium scale. A critical
aspect of setting up an efficient solar Stirling engine system is the selection
and design of the collector. This research aims to develop a novel hybrid parabolic
dish system integrated with a Stirling engine and thermal storage. The
installation of this hybrid design is complex and has been divided into three
main sections: (a) the parabolic Stirling system (2m2), (b) the
parabolic thermal receiver system (6m2), and (c) the phase-change
materials thermal storage system that connects both systems. An in-depth study
has been conducted on a meticulously designed 50-watt solar parabolic collector
optimized for Stirling engines, with the incorporation of optical energy
storage and thorough thermal analysis. In this setup, solar energy is
concentrated and directed towards a fluid-filled pipe through a mirror
arrangement. Solidworks software was employed to determine collector
parameters, considering geographic, temporal, and environmental conditions,
fluid inlet temperature, and other relevant factors. The results demonstrate
that the Stirling engine exhibits oscillating performance in response to
temperature fluctuations. Testing confirms that the prototype model achieved a
net output power of up to 50 W at a temperature of 330 ℃, effectively storing
energy and extending production capabilities until midnight. While initial
experiments yielded unsatisfactory production power, the integration of an
additional 4 hours of operation with the thermal control system significantly
improved performance. -
Title: Reflection on Leading a Group Discussion: Overcoming Shyness and Nervousness
Writing a philosophy statement may be easy for some people and more difficult for others.

“Revolutionizing Innovation: Unleashing the Potential of an Established Company”
Overview
Raising money to invest in innovation is hard. Companies both large and small work to strike a balance between executing an existing business model and thinking ahead to advance their business. As individuals think critically about how their business should move forward, they should first get a 360-degree view of their environment. This journey starts with research on the current state of the business and critical thinking questions that can help leaders drill down deeper.
Prompt
In this blog post, you will take on the role of the recently-promoted chief innovation officer (CIO) of an established U.S.-based company of your choosing. It is within your responsibilities to discover new ways to improve an existing product or service in North America, or to introduce a new product or service to the market that will give the company a market edge over competition and fit within the company’s core competencies. For the purposes of this blog post, and for this entire course, you will do the latter.
The new product or service must be something that cannot be easily duplicated and takes into account consumers’ willingness to pay (WTP). If a consumer doesn’t have a problem or need for the product or service offered, they will not be willing to exchange money for the solution.
The first step of such an undertaking requires research and an examination of the selected company’s financials and current resources. Moreover, this new product or service offering must leverage the strengths of the company.
Using MarketLine – https://libguides.snhu.edu/marketline , Yahoo Finance- https://finance.yahoo.com/, and the investor relations page on the company’s website, select and research an established company of your choice. Specifically, look at the company’s 10K Report with a focus on the company’s business in North America. You will continue to research and work with this company throughout this course in the milestones and project.
In your blog post, identify the company you researched and describe its potential new and unique product or service. Include an image of the company’s current SWOT from the Shapiro Library and address the following questions:
Value proposition: What is the company’s main business?
What value does the company deliver to the customer?
Profitability: Is the company currently profitable?
SWOT analysis strengths: What are the company’s main strengths to be leveraged to create a new product or service?
Product or service singularity: What is unique about the new product or service?
New product or service projections: How can the new product or service improve profitability? Note: this is an estimation based on research of the company’s current market position.
