crude prices further. Effects of increased oil price; It is not just oil prices that rise. The cost of food rises as well‚ partly because oil is used in many ways in growing and transporting food and partly because of the competition from biofuels for land‚ sending land prices up. The cost of shipping goods of all types rises‚ since oil is used in nearly all methods of transports. The cost of materials that are made from oil‚ such as asphalt and chemical products‚ also rises.

The Human Genome Project (HGP) was one of the great feats of exploration in history - an inward voyage of discovery rather than an outward exploration of the planet or the cosmos; an international research effort to sequence and map all of the genes - together known as the genome - of members of our species‚ Homo sapiens. The Human Genome Project was started in 1990 with the goal of sequencing and identifying all three billion chemical units in the human genetic instruction set‚ finding the genetic

The sugarcane undergoing fermentation produced a volume of carbon dioxide that was nearly nine times more than the corn‚ wheat grain and wheat stalk. Wheat grain and corn was nearly doubled that of the wheat stalk and the control (Figure 1). Sugarcane was the leading plant material producing the highest volume of carbon dioxide (mean= 19.9 ± 0.996 mL) while other than the control; the wheat stalk produced the lowest volume of carbon dioxide (mean= 1.33 ± 0.036 mL).

As seen in Germany as well as throughout Europe‚ if the public deems something too unsafe and does not want to live near it‚ the governments will have no choice but to shut down the plants and look for different sources of energy.
