Feasibility Report of the Automatic Recyclable Garbage Classification

Norton, K. (2011). 10 Challenges Facing IT. Tech Republic.

Norton tries to explain the various difficulties that are usually experienced when introducing new technology and properly lists them followed by some short description trying to illustrate how these challenges actually affect new technology. He mainly emphasizes about how human resource impact negatively installation of new technologies, how the complexity of the given technology can contribute to the various challenges encountered during installation, how budgets constraint can affect the being of a new technology and whether the said new technology will be really productive as stated. However, after going through his article, I found out that Norton left behind a lot of information that I thought will be really helpful in the development of my project.

Kirstel, A. (2012). Environmental Benefits of Waste Management. Resource Recoveries & Recycling.

Kirstel tries to outline the various consequences that are always followed by the irresponsible displacement of waste. The author also tries to explain the need for businesses and households familiarizing themselves with environmental policies so as to learn the right ways of waste disposal. The need for classifying garbage before recycling it therefore comes into play here. He explains how proper waste disposal can help in the further reduction of consumption of natural resources, health benefits as well as how it can help in the reduction of the wastage of energy as well as the budget used on waste disposal.

Ogunjimi, A. (2011). Advantages and Disadvantages of Building a Waste Management Facility. Chron.

Ogunjimi tries to highlight on the various advantages as well as disadvantages that come along with proper waste management. However, it is true to say that the author does not come out clearly on the various advantages of proper waste management and only dwells on the disadvantages whereby he highlights on how hazardous waste can be and the health threats I posses on the workers and hence clearly giving a push for a need for the embracement of new technologies that will avoid such cases, the tight regulations on waste management not to mention the recession resistance problems. However, the one and only advantage that he states on waste disposal is that it is lucrative.

Husssain, A. (n.d.). best statistical method to measure the impact of one variable on the other. Research Gate.

Hussain tries to explain to his audience how that there is usually no difference between the social science and applied science models and therefore, they can use any of the above mentioned models so as to get their results. He also tries to rubbish the fact that the social science method has got many variables that make the criteria seem relaxed. Therefore, so as to ensure that the augment comes to an end, the author goes further and puts its clear that all the scientific data analyses start with a valid and solid argument so as to reach a conclusion. However, the author seems to leave us in a dilemma since he does not clearly state what makes the two models have different names and yet he considers them to be the same.

Gsenviro, B. (2015). How to separate two solids of different densities by a circular motion. Enotes.

The author who happens to be a college teacher tries to explain how two solids of sufficiently different densities can be separated. As much as I did not use this concept on my project, I borrowed a lot on how this concept can be utilized on my project. According to the author, the device with these different materials can be rotated at a high speed but at a fixed axis which can help in ensuring that the higher density materials are deposited at the edge of the device while the lighter one will be concentrated at the center of the device which will help in the separation of the materials. The author seemed to have a well researched piece of work that could be relied on.
