Biomass

are introduced to the media, by inoculating it on the surface of the solid agar plate with the inoculation loop. This results in making a dilution gradient across the agar plate, in which after incubation; individual colonies will arise from the biomass. Characteristic features such as size, shape, colour, margin,…

Trees loss also affects animals and plants. Since land is cleared birds have no house to live in so 50% of African bird population has been lost(N/A.Behind The Issue). Because land is cleared poaching has been much more common in those areas. As a result of poaching tigers have nothing to eat and they have lost 93% of their historical range(N/A Deforestation is a global issue that affects our earth in many different ways. Deforestation is caused due to human need of resources and food, which…

they have devastated any ecosystem they’ve come across since their arrival in the states. In an article by the Great Lakes Fishery Commission Michael Hansen said, “In some parts of the Mississippi, the Asian carp make up nearly 97% of the area’s biomass”. Now,…

Using Plastic Pyrolysis Oil for low NOx emissions Using Taguchi Method Abstract: Fossil fuel shortage and severe environmental problems have attracted great attention on the exploitation of clean renewable energies. The utilization of lignocellulosic biomass resources will play an increasingly important role in the future. The objective of the study is to optimize the parameters such as plastic pyrolysis oil diesel blend %, injection pressure and applied load of the single cylinder diesel engine…

There are many convieneces to solar power, but of course nothing is perfect. It is more convienet for the consumer because they will not have to purchase things to run their house or car, they could just have the solar pannels themselves and be independent. The one and major inconveience of solar power is what do you do on a cloudy day? Or if one place does not get a lot of sun how can it run? Advantages: Solar energy is a renewable resource that is environmentally friendly. Unlike fossil…

then it could be far more difficult for them to survive. “The impact of snowmobiles was greatest on soil and rock lichens and rigid cushion plants. Those plants that resisted and tolerate the damage were found to have less height and a reduced woody biomass, such as grassy species” (Newsome & Moore, 2002, p.141). This quote helps us understand the damage in quality snowmobiles have on vegetation. If there were already a short period of time for plants to grow into a mature level, having those…

change be a mandatory topic at every UN meeting. The other ways are to regulate businesses, fine anyone that releases an absurd amount of trash into the oceans. Push businesses to start using more environmentally friendly impetus such as wind, solar, biomass and geothermal energy. (Kumaresan 204). The second way to stop climate change is on a more local level. Everyone knows the the three R’s, reduce, reuse, and recycle. Why not take it farther and start carpooling, or if possible, even ride a…

various locations (the Company does not list NKPP among projects it plans to bring into commercial operation over the next two years). The projects ContourGlobal has in its development pipeline are a mix of coal, natural gas, wind, hydro, solar, biomass, and fuel…

As an Environmental Studies student I have come to realize everything has an impact on the way this world works and many of those impacts are causes of human-environment interactions. Before reading this book, I had a basic concept about energy and the main complexities that came with it. As humans we have created a web of relationships that form our complex society and allows us to function efficiently, however, it is that connected that strains global energy needs. The smallest of changes…

It is against civil liberties to pay less to women for jobs equivalent to men’s. “Women workers today earn 78 percent of what their male counterparts make” (Senator Bernie Sanders). In response to this Bernie Sanders, like all the Democrats do, proposes to pay equally to women workers. After the preparation of a financial base the next step is the most massive piece of Sanders’s plan: rebuilding the crumbling infrastructure. Infrastructure is a fundamental part of our everyday life, and,…
