The book‚ The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness‚ by Michelle Alexander‚ has a few different themes. The themes that stuck out to me from both readings and lectures are ignorance and denial‚ and the failure of colorblindness. The central theme of Alexander’s book is basically that the American system of mass incarceration is a systematic effort to ostracize people of color just like the old Jim Crow laws did in the 19th and 20th centuries. The present-day prisons make it

Fukushima Power Plant Nuclear power plants now account for 14% of the world’s electricity supply [1]. These power plants differ only by the fuel used from oil coal or gas power plants. The concept is otherwise the same. Large nuclei become unstable when struck with a neutron‚ his causes it to split apart and also produce neutrons which are fire out. This then causes a chain reaction and other nuclei are split up. This splitting of nuclei is called nuclear fission and it provides heat which heats

Viroids are plant pathogens that consist of a short stretch (a few hundred nucleobases) of highly complementary‚ circular‚ single-stranded RNA without the protein coat that is typical for viruses.[1] The smallest discovered is a 220 nucleobase scRNA (small cytoplasmic RNA) associated with the rice yellow mottle sobemovirus (RYMV).[2] In comparison‚ the genome of the smallest known viruses capable of causing an infection by themselves are around 2kilobases in size. The human pathogen hepatitis D is

sludge is further treated in ’sludge digesters’: large heated tanks in which its chemical decomposition is catalysed by microorganisms. The sludge is largely converted to ’biogas’‚ a mixture of CH4 and CO2‚ which is used to generate electricity for the plant. The liquid is treated by bacteria which break down the organic matter remaining in solution. It is then sent to oxidation ponds where heterotrophic bacteria continue the breakdown of the organics and solar UV light destroys the harmful bacteria. The

industrial process‚ was originally developed to remove unwanted organic materials from the agricultural and industrial waste streams. The derived product: earthworm castings‚ is now recognized as a high value material which‚ when blended with soil‚ can restore soil tilth by correcting the imbalances caused by the over-utilization of petrol-chemical based fertilizers; thus enabling crops and plants to naturally combat pests and diseases‚ all resulting in increased crop production and general plant health

Thermal power plants are one of the main sources of electricity in both industrialized and developing countries. These plants have drawn flak on consumption of non-renewable sources of energy at a rapid rate and also since they release huge amounts of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. The anti-greenhouse gas activists are calling for thermal power to be replaced by other cleaner sources of energy. Functioning of thermal power plant: In a thermal power plant‚ one of coal‚ oil or natural gas

was caused by a weak structure of the plant it self and poorly qualified operators of the plant. This melt down was the worst in history. Another example would be the melt down of Three Mile Island in the United States; The Three Mile Island accident was a partial nuclear meltdown which occurred at the Three Mile Island power plant in Dauphin County‚ Pennsylvania‚ United States on March 28‚ 1979. It was the worst accident in U.S. commercial nuclear power plant history and resulted in the release of
