The present work is aimed at the improvement of performance, combustion and emission characteristics of a rice bran biodiesel-biogas run dual fuel diesel engine through adjustment of compression ratio (CR), and injection timing (IT) of pilot fuel. For experimentation, a single cylinder, direct injection, variable compression ratio diesel engine is converted into a dual fuel diesel engine by connecting a venturi gas mixer at the inlet manifold. A set of combinations comprising of CRs of 17, 17.5…

In our modern society, there is still a prevalent view of a black-and-white set of binary gendered norms; you 're either masculine or feminine. While this notion is being challenged by many, especially the young within the LGBT+ community that are drifting away from that paradigm, causing a change in societal views, many of which would be considered progressive stances, there is still a curious fascination with the grey area between the physical traits of the two norms; Androgyny; a state of…

PART A- Global warming is the term we use for the gradual increase in the average temperature at the Earth’s surface that has occurred over the past century or so. There are a number of factors that cause global warming, for example climate change, melting glaciers and rising sea levels are all consequences of global warming. Climate change can occur over a number of years, so if there is a large increase in the number of hot summers, this is most likely a sign of climate change. If a pattern…

for 30 min at room temperature. Then, trypsin/chymotrypsin- digested samples of KPNB1 obtained from the UV-crosslinking experiments with various concentrations of compound 1 were analyzed by nanoflow liquid chromatography and tandem mass spectrometry. The tandem mass spectra of the trypsin/chymotrypsin-digested KPNB1-compound 1 adducts showed 10 peptides coupled to compound 1 (Table S1, the Supplementary Information). Among these adducts, we found that the amounts of three of the products,…

1.0 Introduction It is hot and humid in Malaysia throughout the year and this conditions call into question whether our normal ways of dealing with our climate (using primarily insulation and air conditioning for cooling) is the only economical and ecological approach to these climate extremes. The selection of materials for a retreat house considers sustainability as its first factor. This is attained by looking into the environmental aspects of the location of the building. This…

fossil fuels.” (Lewis 23) Local and national leaders have stood up to combat the effect big cities have on the greenhouse gas emissions. “Almost a decade ago, then-Seattle Mayor Greg Nickels challenged fellow mayors around the country to abide by the Kyoto Protocol, the international agreement to reduce greenhouse gas emissions that the United States refused to support when it was drafted in 1997.” (Wogan 46) One of the biggest social issues regarding air pollution today is the ongoing fight…

al measured FT4 and TSH levels in low birth weight infants in the age one, two and four weeks, and proposed that TSH reaches its maximum level averagely in the age of 2.4 weeks.34 In 2012, Niwa’s team studied on 47 very low birth weight infants in Kyoto Hospital, Japan, and proposed that measuring TSH level at the age of two weeks can be helpful in evaluating transient hypothyroxinemia of prematurity and in prediction of the occurrence of delayed rise in…

As a result, Labor decided to use the environment for their political gain, prior to taking office in the 2007 election. This not only led to Australia’s ratification of the Kyoto Protocol (as part of Prime Minister Paul Rudd’s election promise), but more importantly, signaled the beginning of an ensuing catastrophe our man of the hour, Greg Hunt, would eventually be relied upon to solve. The policy he would ultimately come…

The use of biochar on a widespread and large-scale has thus been shown to be greatly beneficial in the fight against climate change, as well as for sustainable soil management. But before this can be seriously implemented and developed into policy, scientific evidence must be expanded to fully cover implication of its use on soil properties, processes and functions (Verheijen et al 2012). Until this has been comprehensively quantified, regulations have a higher likelihood of unsuccessfully…

he says, “Right, but do you FEEL like an American? Do you?” Andrew Pham replied “Yes, Yes! Yes, I do, I really do…” (Pham, 327). In the case of Pico Iyer, after his house burnt down and all his possessions turned into ash infront of him, he went to Kyoto to live a life in the Zen temple without possessions and without a home. He failed in that experience and came back to California. After all this, it was confirmed to him that home is something inward for an increased number of us people, after…
