In 1989, a substantial policy was enacted that brought countries together from all around the world to combat the diminishing ozone layer. This policy, The Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer, was a significant step in improving the effects of climate change. Since then, very few successful policies have been enacted. The problem of global warming has been increasing and now that the effects are being felt, talk of actions have been developing. With many factors…

PROJECT PLAN 2 Introduction The main objective of the project is to produce the immunosuppressant drug, Cyclosporine from Tolypocladium Inflatum. Patients who undergo solid organ transplantation require an immunosuppressive drug to prevent rejection by decreasing the body's own natural defense to foreign tissues, and Cyclosporin A is one of the most commonly used immunosuppressive drugs in the organ transplantations. Cyclosporin A is a cyclic nonribosomal peptide, consisting of 11 amino acids…

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the most important greenhouse gas, contributing to 60% of the enhanced greenhouse effect. The atmosphere now contains more carbon that at any other time in the last 2 million years. Each sink of the carbon cycle will change as this carbon makes its way through the cycle. The global warming caused by greenhouse gas emissions also accelerates the rate at which carbon is released. Permafrost contains rich deposits of carbon and large amounts are released as a result of their…
