Renewable Immunity: A Support to Humanity
Abstract: The “survival to the fittest” paradigm is invariably weighted w.r.t. competitiveness. This fitness is therefore constantly interacting both with the living races, and the dynamic nature, more than living –albeit in a complex way. While the former appear to tame nature, the fact is that latter demonstrates the superiority from time to time, in which the former attempt to truce with. The latter quality is called immunity especially when it …

Assessment of Carbon Credits for Power Generation Systems at GSM Base Station Site
Abstract: Electricity production is often a source of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, for instance when fossil fuel is combusted in power plants. Therefore the root cause of pollution coming from telecommunication industry is the source of energy (diesel genset) the network operators used in running their base station sites. Energy consumption of using diesel to power base station by telecom networks is a contributor to global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. This …

Refrigerant and the Environment- issues and planning for the future-A study
Abstract: Abstract However, the halogenated refrigerants have undesirable environmental impacts such as ozone layer depletion potential and global warming. Hence, it is necessary to go for alternative refrigerants to satisfy the objectives of the international protocols. Future international commitments on the protection of the environment, particularly for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and better protection of the ozone layer by use of other suitably refrigerants. In this context, the use of "natural" …

Saccharomyces Cerevisiae and Pichia Pastoris Optimize NH4NO3 by 50 % in Solanum Lycopersicum Preventing N2O Release.
Abstract: In agriculture, the unregulated application of NH4NO3 for healthy growth of Solanum lycopersicum is associated in the soil with the denitrification of free NO3- (nitrate), with an increase in N2O, a greenhouse gas, that contributes to global warming, loss of soil fertility. An ecological option to avoid denitrification that releases N2O as other environmental problems is to inoculate S. lycopersicum seeds with endophytic yeasts that promote plant growth, such as …
