In today’s modern world, there are various animals that are critically endangered and are at risk of extinction. The number of species that are at risk of extinction are continuing to grow, and we as humans, are completely failing these species. The destruction of habitats and the excessive killing of species while hunting has both … Read more
The literature review on nutrient deficiencies in tomatoes shows that the complete treatment plants are the healthiest out of all of the treatments. We compared the weight and SCC of the plants and leaf blades of plants using complete, -N, -P, and distilled water treatments. We measured the weight and SCC by growing the plants … Read more
Chromium (Cr) pollution is due to large number of industrial processes such as chrome plating, wood preserving, pigmenting, pulp and paper, textile dyeing, tanning and leather processing. (Dhal et al. 2013). Its widespread use has converted Cr in a serious pollutant of air, soil and water (Zayed and Terry 2003). Alternative techniques for the clean-up … Read more
Abstract The literature stated that nutrient deficiencies should effect the weight and chlorophyll content of tomato plants. In this experiment, four treatments were used to determine the effects of nutrient deficiencies. The first treatment was the control group of plants which were grown in a complete medium that contained no deficiencies. The second treatment was … Read more
This will change how you connect with nature 1. There is no Planet B What I (and maybe you) take for granted, a world filled with animals of all kinds – ecosystems teeming with life – is in fact the product of billions of years of evolution. We don’t tend to do well with such … Read more
Abstract One of the most abundant enzymes found in nature is peroxidases where it is present in plants, animals microbes. Peroxidases catalyze the oxidation of various organic and inorganic substrates in the presence of hydrogen peroxide as electron acceptor. Among peroxidases lignin peroxidase plays an important role in biodegradation where it possesses a high redox … Read more
Chapter 1: Introduction Fluorine is the lightest member of the halogen family and the most electronegative among all chemical elements (Hodge and Smith, 1965). Fluorine was discovered by French chemist Henry Moissan in 1886, by passing electrolysis of potassium bifluoride dissolved in hydrofluoric acid. There are several key properties of Fluorine element which makes it … Read more
Introduction The transport sector accounts for 14% of global greenhouse gas emissions (IPCC, 2014). A study in The Behaviour Analyst called climate change a “clear a present danger to civilization.” In order to slow the effects of climate change, we as humans will need to change the way that we get around. Alternative transport is … Read more
Introduction Mutualisms are defined as the interaction between at least two species where all participating species benefit from the interaction. These interactions hold ecological, conservational, and economical importance. Mutualisms can function as keystone species1, and some provide ecosystem services, such as the insect pollination, which is not only ecologically but also economically important. 2, 3. … Read more
Hypothesis: “It is expected that Rotterdam Centre will be more polluted than Barendrecht due to the surrounding industrial area” Rotterdam centre is a very busy place with relatively high population density, Also Rotterdam centre is affected a lot by the neighbouring harbour with lots of industry. Barendrecht is further away (Southerly) from industrial areas which … Read more
Introduction My thesis tackles the contemporary phenomena of the impacts of an increasing need to secure and sustain energy by asking the following questions: 1) To what extent is public perception of solar farms in Gloucestershire positive or negative? 2) Do solar farms impact house prices and land values in Gloucestershire? 3) Green or Greed? … Read more
ABSTRACT Zero energy and Passive housing is a widespread concept in around the world. The successful implementation of this in all countries has led to the discussion of its applicability in Turkey which has more than one kind of climate. The lack of this work was found in Turkey where renewable energy types are exist. … Read more
ABSTRACT Advanced Oxidation Process, which involves the generation of highly potent chemical oxidants such as hydroxyl radicals. There are many important technologies for accelerating the oxidation& destruction of wide range of organic contaminants in polluted water. The Present Study describes the use of Photo Fenton Oxidation processes as a tertiary treatment for increasing treatment efficiency … Read more
INTRODUCTION In recent years, because of global warming and the rise in crude oil price, countries worldwide have begun to invest heavily in research and development related to renewable energy sources[2]. Among renewable energy generation systems, solar power generation has received the most attention; from small-scale applications (e.g., energy provision to consumer electronics) to large … Read more
1. Introduction Crooked Spider is a small-scaled beer brewery having issues with the waste stream of Brewery Spend Grain (BSG). The BSG is now given away for free to the farmers as cow food. In this way Crooked Spider does not have to pay for their waste. Since BSG contains valuable nutrients BSG can be … Read more
