Future Research My newly developed techniques and latest findings direct me for further innovative studies in the emerging field of environmental sciences towards conservation, detect environmental controlling parameters, biological function of living organisms and their interaction with the environment, and develop new technologies to protect the environment and public health. My challenge is to get a more complete picture of these issues in the near future, which could help to resolve the problems of global climate change and use the CO2 and other greenhouse gases for beneficial purposes as a potential natural resource.
In the short term, I will continue working on several problems of my current research, including (1) two

First, reduction of GHG, carbon capture and sequestration. Reduction of GHG is one of the most challenging tasks currently facing by the world scientists. Although a minor reduction process has been succeeded, but they were used synthetic chemicals, which are in fact not good for the environment. In consideration of this realism for protecting the future, my research will be focused to reduce GHG by developing new technologies on the biological mechanisms and without using any chemicals (Fig. ---). As I mentioned above (patent pending), I have already succeeded to reduce GHG up to 12%. In this long term project, I have targeted to clean the air 90% by reducing the harmful anthropogenic GHGs as necessary. In this aspect, Carbon capture and sequestration is a very potent technique. Following this approach, carbon dioxide or other forms of carbon will be processed for a long-term storage. This process will be focused to capture CO2 by mimicking nature’s process for hardening tissues in living organisms. This is a similar biological process of corals and other calcifying organisms (ref--). However, here I would use a newly discovered group of microbes (described in the patent). In this technique, CO2 will be used as a potential beneficial material to produce highly useful products such as beneficial mineral for human health (fig--, showing some crystals). In addition, some natural material (following the patent Aqua-NOF-GHG with
The industrial revolution began in the 17th century and made significant change in the world. An era was over and the new one was beginning. The revolution has advantages and disadvantages. Rising of living standards, improving of health, lifetime and trade system are its advantages. On the other hand, manufacturing has caused major problems such as deforestation, excessive use of fossil fuel sources, irresponsible industrialisation and agricultural development. These changes have increased world’s atmospheric concentration of water vapour, CO2, CH4 and other gases (Stocker, 2013). These gases capture part of energy receiving from sun and trap this heat inside atmosphere that causes rising temperatures on the earth’s surface. Naturally, for continuation of life these gases are necessary, but result of the human events these gases has produced more than plants and environment need (Robins, 2016). Also, we call them Green Houses Gases because they have the similar effect like the ‘greenhouses’ utilised to increase condition of vegetables.
In today’s world, the topic of energy is dominated by one thing: ancient organic matter. Carbon and oxygen that existed in this matter when it was alive is still present and is released in the form of carbon dioxide when the coal and oil it was compressed into is burned. The problem is that the carbon that was buried over millions of years was never naturally supposed to be released back into the atmosphere it used to exist in at such an alarming rate. The amount of carbon dioxide flooding into our atmosphere needs to be limited or there will be severe consequences in our future.
Julia Fincher in the article, The Future Four: Why Olympic Gymnastics Team Will Have Four Members in 2020, states that in 2020 the Olympic Gymnastics committee will be cutting the team sizes down from five to four members. This is a disadvantage and an advantage and can be argued from both sides, this article argues from both points of view.
While reading and evaluating Of Mice and Men (1937) by the famed novelist John Steinbeck, the several relationships in the story reveal both true, authentic friendship, as well as the opposite, sad, desperate degrees of loneliness and plummeting isolation. Similar to the people that we come across in our lives, a handful of the characters in Of Mice and Men portray false faces of contentment, yet in actuality, they are alone and caught feeling stuck and empty on the inside. On the other hand, there are numerous representations of sincere friendships that seem as if they could last a lifetime. There are also episodes of different characters being vulnerable and straightforward with each other in a frantic attempt to have someone
CO2 is the most significant greenhouse gas, which mainly comes from the use of fossil fuels. Many people feel that content of CO2 in the atmosphere is the main reason for manmade global warming. The main sources of CO2 emissions involve electricity generation, industrial processes, fumes from transportation and commercial buildings and use. Emissions of greenhouse gases, such as CO2, to the atmosphere are expected to cause even more of a significant change in global climate (Davison, 2007). The main focus to try to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is to reduce the amount that is released from coal-fired power plants. Greenhouse gas emissions that involve the productions of electricity come from natural gas production and coal-fired power plant operations. Natural gas production accounts for twenty-four percent and coal-fired power plant operations accounts for seventy-five percent, while the other one percent is caused by other electricity generation operations. The main reason why coal-fired power plants have a higher percentage of emissions is because the sulfur content of coal is much higher than that of other fossil fuels (Jarmaillo et al., 2007). This proves that there is a great need to find an alternative fossil fuel to use instead of coal. Although coal is easy to mine, transport and process for the electricity generation process, it is also the
Is technology a tool or is it an evil and useless thing that shouldn’t be depended on. Some people think technology is a step in the right direction and should be developed and continued, while others think it could be something that will take over and will not help the well-being of humans. While carefully reading the two works, “Inside the home of the Future” by Kelly Greene and “There Will Come Soft Rains” by Ray Bradbury, you can distinct the two opposing views that Bradbury and Greene possess on the topic.
The price we pay by Mayblum, In the ruins of the future by Delillo and Hiroshima diary by Hachiya are stories that explain the catastrophic that happened on 911 and the Japanese Atomic Bombing. Each of these stories is focusing on expression, experience and death. By reading these stories I cannot imagine the panic that people were feeling at the moment that it was happening. This paper explains the connection that authors had when they were experiencing such catastrophic.
The biosphere consists of a compound infusion of gases; the main components are oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon dioxide. The concentration of these gases have been changing for many years. For the most part, this is influenced by human activity. In a persistent effort to improve the quality and longevity of life, humans (particularly in industrialized societies) have tendencies to negatively impact the environment, and at the same time, we strive to replenish what we have nearly depleted to balance the scale.
Dreams concerning the foreknowledge of future events has been recorded throughout history. These premonitions have predicted events ranging from the Bibles account of Joseph interpreting the Pharaoh of Egypt’s dream. To the ancient dream worker Artemidorous claim that a dream of sleeping with one’s own mother predicted the death of the dreamer. To the more recent historical account of a student at John F. Kennedy’s University having a series of dreams that provided images of the perfect new location of a future art building (Krippner, Bogzaran, & Carvalho, 2002).
The current education system is founded on standard based accountability which focuses more on the attainment of common core standards and national assessment than on student learning..

Sara Mead’s background in education is diverse she has served as a researcher, writer, advisor, director, she has worked in the Education Sector, the Progressive
Global warming and climate change attributed to increased emission of greenhouse gases have continued to be pressing issues in today’s society since they threaten the stability of the climate, population, and economy of the world (“Meeting the Energy Challenge”, 2007). The challenges associated with global warming and climate change is attributed to the fact that 75 percent of world’s carbon dioxide
Today, our world is surrounded with modern day technology and it has now become a part of our everyday lives. What if it was taken away from us and we had to live like we used to in the past how would we survive? And what things do we have today that the “New world settlers and pilgrims” could have used to increase their chances of survival? What things in our environment could they use to their convince?
There are various things which are likely to work in the future Canada. One of the key issues which will be discussed in this paper about the future of work in Canada include globalization. Several models will be discussed in this paper about the sustainability of work in the face of the increasing pressures within the limits of work and also the available resources which are ready to be exploited. In this paper, a discussion about the determinants of future work, fairness and justice in the Canada, the dominance of the capitalistic principles, new economic models emergence, and the technological evolution are some of the factors which will be discussed in this paper in relation to the future prospects of Canadian work. In addition to all those factors influencing the future of Canadian work, other areas which will be discussed in this paper include the impact of the unions on work and the workers, the inequality in work places, insecurity at work, the health impacts of work and its environment and also the organization of work in Canada.
Based on this business students SWOT analysis and the information gained, the most relevant parts would be the company’s weaknesses and opportunity because the strengths eventually will become stronger, the weaknesses will become strengths, and the opportunities will overcome the company’s threats. As an investor in this company, this business student would invest for various reasons. Reasons this business student would invest in the Dollar Tree Company include efficient pricing, create jobs, increase the number of locations nationally and internationally, and regain the customer experience with additional staffing and clean shopping environment (Dollar Tree, Inc. 2012).
One of the biggest debates in financial accounting is expensing advertisement and research and development activities as opposed to them being considered an asset. The idea was that they don’t meet the reliability criteria. The future benefits associated with research and development are very uncertain making it difficult to record the expenditures as an asset. At this point there is little research to support an intangible capital treatment of research & development and advertising. Currently research and development expenditures are not considered to be an investment. With all of those uncertainties, GAAP states that any research and development activities be a current period expense. Although these expenditures treatment is vastly acknowledged as an incorrect concept, the measurements surrounding the treatment of research and development as an investment were seemingly insurmountable to overcome. That ideology however can be challenged under the advancements within the IT and computer equipment industry since the early 90’s. It was identified as a main source of productivity growth which made it necessary to consider research and development as an investment. In this paper, we will discuss GAAP’s treatment of research and development expenditures and propose a different alternative. Throughout the paper we will define research and development, its activities and many of the guidelines, regulations, and Acts surrounding it.
