Ice cores taken from the Arctic have shown that carbon dioxide levels are much higher now than the last thousands of years. The higher amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere means warmer temperatures. There is now stronger evidence linking the warming of the ice to human activity. Global warming is caused by the green house gases, which leads to the melting of the ice, thereby affecting the ecosystem. Therefore, there is a need for everyone to reduce the amount of carbon emissions that causes

The history of Singapore is rich with surprising twists, bendy turns and wondrous triumphs. A very long, long time ago during the 14th century, a small but strategically located island that had once been named “island at the end of a peninsula” then changed to Temasek (“Sea Town”) then to Singapura and eventually to what it is now known as Singapore. It got the name Singapura from a prince from Palembang who was on a hunting trip when he caught sight of an animal he had never seen before. Taking

Carbon is a remarkable element.. It happens in more diverse structures than whatever other element on the periodic table . The periodic table is a diagram that shows how chemical elements are identified with each other. 2. Describe the appearance of the element Carbon has two forms, Diamond and Graphite, thus they appear in different colours. Diamond is transparent and Graphite is black. Diamonds are amongst the hardest of materials and are utilised to cut glass and steel. Graphite is additionally

Amongst the rhizopshere microorganisms, the plant growth promoting rhizobacteria have been considered important in sustainable agriculture due to their plant growth promotional ability as well as biocontrol potential. PGPR have emerged as the biggest group of beneficial soil microorganisms, involved in the control of a number of plant diseases and pests by virtue of their ability to synthesize a wide range of antagonistic secondary metabolites. These ubiquitous microorganisms can be a significant

The rise in urban transport also generates dust particles in the atmosphere. Cities with large numbers of cars or those that use great quantities of coal often suffer most severely from the problem. To make way factories and due to growing urbanization in various parts of the country, trees are cut down on a larger scale without any adequate efforts to plant new ones. This leads to deforestation, which also helps cause a rise in atmospheric pollution levels. The level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere

Introduction During the last decay the consumption of fresh leafy vegetables is increasing sharply as a habit to eat healthy and nutritious food. Short of cooling fruits and vegetables after harvest is the main reason that leads to postharvest losses. In developing countries the percentage of postharvest losses of fruits and vegetables may be increasing to hit up 80-100% in some situations. In contrast the process in developed countries is different, because the high demands for commodities. The

There are 206 bones in the human body. Broken and fractured bones are one of the most common injuries, about 6 million people in the US will break a bone each year. And out of these 300,000 people will have a serious injury that will require different methods to heal. There are a variety ways of bone tissue repairing but most of them are not long term and can cause other complications. There are different stages for bone repair. The first step is the formation of hematoma at the break, then the formation

Specific Aims A recent public health concern has implicated polyethylene terephthalate (PET) plastics, commonly used in recyclable plastic water bottles, as a common source of carcinogenic xenoestrogens. Xenoestrogens act as hormone disruptors, and can alter the natural homeostasis of the human body. Exposure to endocrine disrupting chemicals has been known to cause cancer, sexual dysfunction, and problems during puberty. Better understanding exposure to these chemicals will help improve awareness
