INTRODUCTION Global warming is the increase in the average temperature of Earth’s near-surface air and oceans since the mid-20th century and its projected continuation. Global surface temperature increased 0.74 ± 0.18 °C (1.33 ± 0.32 °F) between the start and the end of the 20th century. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) concludes that most of the observed temperature increase since the middle of the 20th century was very likely caused by increasing concentrations

Abstract: The Preservative effect of brine at different concentrations on lettuce at tropical ambient temperature was examined. The effect of various concentrations of salt solutions on leaf surface and edge browning‚ texture‚ and colour were observed for five days. The experiment was laid out in a Complete Randomized Design (CRD) and each treatment repeated in triplicates including a control. Sensory qualities were examined by six panelists using a 5-point hedonic scale ranking. Results indicated

Capillary action works by relying on the adhesive properties of water. Because the polarity of the capillary walls attracts water molecules‚ water sticks to the sides of the tube‚ therefore‚ causing the water to move up the tube. Cohesion-tension or transpiration pull works by the water from the leaves being evaporated caused by the heat of the sun. This then causes a change in pressure which moves the water up from the
