Strawberry guava, Psidium cattleianum Sabine, is valued by the general public of Hawaii for its ornamental characteristics and fruit, which is frequently prepared into jams, jellies, juices, cakes, and pastries. However, due to false advertising and commercialization, guava as well as coffee, macadamia, passion fruit, and pineapples are seen as icons of Hawaii, yet they aren’t native to Hawaii. Even though these species aren’t native to Hawaii, coffee, macadamia, passion fruit, and pineapples do…
extraction. The biomass produced after this step can be used as high protein feedstock for livestock, this causes value addition to the waste stream produced in the process. The further downstream processes involve separation and washing to obtain pure biodiesel.(Demirbas and Fatih Demirbas 2011) Algae to oil process is simple alternative to produce biofuels. Naturally occurring algal species does not give economically feasible yield for microalgae oil. Thus scientists have developed genetically…
This story involves a woman by the name of Mrs. Mallard, which who was suffering from a heart condition and was being cared for with ongoing care. Recognizing the importance of relaying a message that could possibly take Mrs. Mallards life concerning the death of her husband. Josephine gently but calmly delivered the message about her husband’s death. Josephine spoke about the situation half way not revealing much. Mr. Richards was the person that heard the news relating to Mr. Mallard’s death,…
Introduction Chlorella vulgaris is known to date back more than 2.5 billion years. C. vulgaris is a unicellular green algae that is eukaryotic (Wells). Because of its long life on earth it has been essential for C. vulgaris to evolve so it can survive. One feature that C. vulgaris has is its ability to grow rapidly. Because of its rapid growth scientist have been studying it and found that it can be used in many different ways; wastewater treatments, production of protein-rich food and feed…
Cross Contamination of Brassica Napus INTRODUCTION Brassica Napus is a bright yellow flowering rapeseed that can be used to create biodiesel, animal feed and vegetable oils. As of 2009, over 90% of Brassica Napus was genetically modified to make it disease and drought resistant. The high rate of the genetic modification of this crop is due to the increased yields of the crops which in turn lead to higher economic returns for the farmers producing the Brassica Napus. (Beckie, 2011). Although…
vvv Review of Literature Examples of Biomass Biomass is the organic matter contained in plants. It is produced by photosynthesis and is, therefore, a form of solar energy. Examples of/useful biomasses include wood, wood residues left over from the timber industry, crop residues, manure, urban wastes, industrial wastes, and municipal sewage. These biomasses can provide large amounts of energy. One of the most important contributions from biomass would be ethanol, a fuel that can be used in…
in the first two summers of high school. These camps were where I built energy absorbent shoes to walk on, and crack a few, eggs, learned about balancing forces in civil engineering, created an energy saving lava lamp, and created fuel efficient biodiesel for automotive use. I was amazed at how I could physically see a creation in my own hands! Furthermore, in the Freshmen Scholars Institute Program, I learned how to program an electric circuit board for our constructed bottle rocket. We had to…
For today’s paper I will discuss the following points as the core for my paper: • The $80 billion bailout of GM, GMAC, Chrysler, and Ford. • Global Warming and the effect of emissions • Alternative fuels and new design competition First topic is the $80 billion bailout of the “Big 3” which are GM, Chrysler, and Ford. This bailout started in 2009 after GM and Chrysler asked for funds to avoid falling into bankruptcy. These companies were the leaders in car sales in the United States and go back…
board of the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws (NORML), reflects his commitment to social justice and freedom of expression. Environmental stewardship is another hallmark of his legacy, evident in his ownership of Willie Nelson Biodiesel, a brand promoting renewable energy sources. His music—a tapestry woven with threads of jazz, pop, blues, rock, and folk—transcends traditional genre boundaries. Nelson's distinctive sound, characterized by his relaxed singing style,…
Introduction: The metabolic process in plants such as the algae, Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata, is called photosynthesis. The way not only algae, but every consumer and other photosynthetic organisms obtain food and fiber is due to photosynthesis (Zhu, et al., 2008). Primary producers use sunlight as energy to convert CO2 and H2O into O2 and Glucose (C6H12O6) (Mohsenpour, et al., 2012). Photosynthesis is not only important for energy and food intake, but also as a biofuel. Microalgae is an…
