Carbon Dioxide from Cars U.S. states are beginning to attack another major source of global warming pollution besides power plants: your car. David Biello reports Cars in California offer a new kind of sticker shock this year: carbon. In addition to the familiar smog ratings‚ labels on new Cali cars rank them 1 to 10 based on greenhouse gas emissions. The best‚ a perfect 10‚ will emit less than 200 grams of greenhouse gases per mile. The bad ones more than 520. Vermont will also begin offering

organisms joined with the non-living components of their environment interacting as a system. Mangroves‚ Rocky Shores and Sand Dunes may be seen as three independent parts of the ecosystem but if one is disturbed then it affects the other parts of the cycle. There are many examples of ecosystems such as a pond‚ forest‚ an estuary‚ grassland and many more. Hastings Point is an estuary that is continuously threatened by development. 3.1 Mangroves Mangroves are trees and/or shrubs that grow in coastal

The Impact of Microorganisms on Human Affairs What is microbiology? Microbiology is the study of microorganisms or microbes. The word micro means small in Greek‚ implying that microbes are very minute or small life forms that cannot be seen with just the naked eye. One would need a microscope to see these small life forms. Microbes are everywhere and have a large impact on the world. It all started when one of the most important discoveries in history was made in 1665. Englishman‚ Robert Hooke

Symbiotic Nitrogen Fixation 1. Rhizobium - Legume Symbiosis Many leguminous plant species can enter into a symbiotic relationship with root-nodule bacteria‚ collectively referred to as rhizobia. The legumes belong to the order Fabales‚ family Leguminosae (alternatively Fabaceae)‚ in eurosid clade I (Doyle and Luckow 2003). Traditionally‚ three main subfamilies are distinguished: Caesalpinoidae‚ Mimosoidae and Papilionidae. Only one nonlegume‚ the woody plant Parasponia sp.‚ can be nodulated

Cycle Although some people may think that translations of original texts will ruin the meaning and the style that the original author wanted to present‚ it is not true for Robert Pinsky’s translation of The Inferno of Dante. Pinsky’s translation is not only essential‚ but it also presents the same picture that Dante wanted to. Even more impressive is that Pinsky also takes in the style that Dante writes in while translating the text. Pinsky keeps in mind the specific interlocking rhyme scheme

Carbon dioxide is both a vital requirement for producers – the first organisms in any food chain‚ and at times a dangerous waste product. Where plants use carbon dioxide during the Calvin cycle of photosynthesis‚ at night they also produce small quantities due to respiration. Fundamentally‚ carbon dioxide reacts with ribulose bisphosphate to produce glycerate 3-phosphate in the light independent reaction. In turn glycerate3-phosphate is reduced to triose phosphate using reduced NADP

ABSTRACT MODELING THE IMPACT OF CLIMATE CHANGE ON WATER RESOURCES CASE STUDY: ARKANSAS RIVER BASIN IN COLORADO There is mounting evidence that amount of carbon dioxide is being increased which can lead to changing the global climate drastically during this century. Climate change can have important effect on the water resources and water demand like urban and agriculture uses. The effects of climate change have been explored in the Arkansas River Basin in Colorado which is one of the major
