INTRODUCTION Automated Greenhouse is about a design of miniature greenhouse that is equipped with the automated monitoring system. The system will constantly monitor the natural environmental conditions in the greenhouse to ensure that the plant will achieve the maximum plant growth. There are two sensors‚ which operate in the real-time‚ that will be used - temperature sensor and a humidity sensor to monitor the conditions. The microcontroller will compare the output of the sensors with the preset

getting somewhere on time. Car emissions produce three types of carbon - Carbon Monoxide (CO) and Carbon Dioxide (CO2) and hydrocarbon (CH4) - which are traumatizing both our health and the environment. By itself‚ carbon isn’t a harmful element‚ but one of its characteristics is easily pairing up with majority the elements in the periodic table. Its ability to bond is infinite; it can create many different substances without any problems. Carbon Monoxide is a poisonous gas‚ that leads to severe poisonings

Emission Control Techniques 1. INTRODUCTION The need to control the emissions from automobiles gave rise to the computerization of the automobile. Hydrocarbons‚ carbon monoxide and oxides of nitrogen are created during the combustion process and are emitted into the atmosphere from the tail pipe. There are also hydrocarbons emitted as a result of vaporization of gasoline and from the crankcase of the automobile. The clean air act of 1977 set limits as to the amount of each of these pollutants

3. Accounting Framework for Rights and Obligations of Emissions Reduction Programs The FASB’s Conceptual Framework provides guidance to standard setters for establishing authoritative guidance. We apply the Conceptual Framework to the components of cap-and-trade programs in section 3.1. Section 3.2 describes the resulting accounting treatment‚ including income statement effects‚ of cap-and-trade program rights and obligations that is implied by the Conceptual Framework. 3.1. Using the FASB’s conceptual

Well‚ based on my research‚ wind energy is the result of the sun’s energy interacting with the earth’s surfaces. It is also an ideal renewable energy source that is infinitely sustainable; pollution free; doesn’t use fuel; and doesn’t produce greenhouse gases‚ toxic or radioactive waste. This type of energy is considered a green power technology because it has minor impacts on the environment. When using wind to generate electricity we use machines known as turbines and this turbines use blades

conserving your heat by putting plastic on your windows will even help save and conserve energy. Coal and gas-fired power plants burn huge amounts of fossil fuels and consequently emit vast amounts of CO2. Buy energy efficient appliances. Use your consumer power to support industries and products that strive for high energy efficiency. Public transportation is the best way to cut CO2 emissions from cars. Effective public transportation reduces the need for building new roads and any other key source

Greenhouses allow for greater control over the growing environment of plants. Depending upon the technical specification of a greenhouse‚ key factors which may be controlled include temperature‚ levels of light and shade‚ irrigation‚ fertilizer application‚ and atmospheric humidity. Greenhouses may be used to overcome shortcomings in the growing qualities of a piece of land‚ such as a short growing season or poor light levels‚ and they can thereby improve food production in marginal environments
