Philippines

Some famous Filipino physicists include Dr. Roger Posadas, known for his work on theoretical and computational physics; Dr. Elizabeth H. Montano, known for her research on physics education and nanotechnology; and Dr. Caesar Saloma, a National Scientist of the Philippines recognized for his contributions to optics and photonics.

introduced or developed accelerator chips that improved computer performance, helped make the internet possible by contributing to the development of the Ethernet controller chip, created the local bus concept for personal computers.

Gregorio Zara is a Filipino physicist that discovered the Law of Electrical Kinetic Resistance. Another well known physicist from the Philippines is Paulo Campos for his work in nuclear medicine and contributions to the first radioisotope laboratory.

Philippines is facing scarcity of renewable natural resources such as soil and fresh water. This declining availability results in lower agricultural production, economic decline or stagnation.

Are you speaking about square mileage or population? Although it's made up of lots of different islands, the Philippines includes about 300,000 square kilometers (115,831 square miles) of land. That's not so small.

The population numbers more than 97 million people (as of July 2007). That's also not very small.

Afghanistan's geographic location at the crossroads of Central, South, and East Asia has made it a strategic and often contested area throughout history. Its mountainous terrain has provided natural defenses but also made it difficult to govern, leading to a history of invasions and conflicts by neighboring empires. The country's location along the ancient Silk Road also contributed to its cultural exchange and diversity.

Why are the Philippines different from other countries where nuclear power is used routinely, like the US, Canada, France, UK? I believe you have a plant that was built but never operated, which seems very extravagant. In the UK we could not afford to do this. I think you will have to look at your own society, history, and politics, to decide if it is wise to have nuclear power. I believe there is a history of terrorism in the Philippines, so you need to consider can any plant be protected. Do you have earthquakes? That is another disadvantage if so. And would the owners and operators be able to decide on safety matters without politicians interfering?

I can refer you to a general answer on disadvantages of nuclear power. If you ask 'What are the disadvantages of nuclear fission power' you will get this answer.

The $500 million San Lorenzo CCGT facility is now generating 500MW electrical power. It is located in Batangas City, along the Batangas Bay, around 100km from the Philippine capital Manila. The plant is adjacent to the Santa Rita Project. This strategic location allows it to share common facilities such as the tank farm and fuel jetty, thereby eliminating the need to duplicate various operational facilities. The power station uses a Siemens GUD.1S.3A model gas turbine, a steam turbine and a horizontal heat recovery boiler (HRSG) in each power generation unit. Two power generation units have a single-shaft configuration.

The project's cost is estimated to be $500 million inclusive of capital costs, working capital requirements, related pipeline financing, insurance and development costs. The finance was based on 75% debt and 25% equity structure. Cost reductions via pooling of operations, maintenance and other expenses are also achieved. The plant opened in Q4 2002.

In December 2003, the owners of the Santa Rita and San Lorenzo power stations and Meralco concluded a review of the Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) as mandated by the Electric Power Industry Reform Act. The owners and Meralco have cooperatively reviewed the PPA and incorporated a number of incentives intended to encourage increased plant utilisation and subsequent efficiency gains.

The 4th Replacement Depot on Leyte Island in the Philippines was a logistical installation operated by the United States Army during World War II. It served as a hub for replacing troops and equipment for units engaged in combat operations in the Pacific theater. The depot played a crucial role in sustaining American forces during the liberation of the Philippines and the wider Pacific campaign.

Metals can be found in different provinces or regions around the world, depending on the type of metal. For example, gold can be found in regions like South Africa, Australia, and Russia, while copper is prevalent in regions such as Chile, Peru, and the United States. It's essential to consider the geological formations and mineral deposits in each specific area when looking for metal resources.

The provinces in the Philippines that have a type 1 climate are those located in the northern and central parts of the country, such as Benguet, Ifugao, and parts of Nueva Viscaya. These areas are characterized by distinct wet and dry seasons, with the wet season typically occurring from May to October and the dry season from November to April.

The coordinates for the Philippines are approximately 13.0° N latitude and 122.0° E longitude.

The product of Soccsksargen region in the Philippines is primarily agriculture-based. It is known for producing crops such as rice, bananas, pineapple, and coconut. Livestock farming and fishing are also important industries in the region.

The Philippines is composed of 7,641 islands and more than 500 documented islets.

The Philippines is an archipelago located in Southeast Asia, situated in the western Pacific Ocean. It is known for its beautiful tropical islands, diverse marine life, and rich cultural heritage. The Philippines is located east of Vietnam and north of Indonesia.

The landmass found to the south of the Philippines is Borneo, which is the third-largest island in the world. Borneo is shared by three countries: Indonesia, Malaysia, and Brunei.

Yes, the milieu of the story of Lam-Ang reflects certain aspects of rural Philippines such as agricultural activities, tribal rituals, and cultural beliefs. However, as a legend, the story also includes fantastical elements like supernatural beings and extraordinary feats that are not typical of everyday life in rural areas.

Yes, the Philippines' location in the Pacific Ring of Fire makes it abundant in mineral resources like copper, gold, and nickel. Its archipelagic nature also gives it access to varied marine resources, leading to a rich ecosystem for fisheries. However, factors like environmental degradation and inefficient mining practices affect resource availability.

The Philippine archipelago lies in Southeast Asia. So the continent would be Asia (which covers a very large area of the earth).
