many years and is widely used for waste stabilization‚ pollution control‚ improvement of manure quality and biogas production (Weiland‚ 2006). Biogas production from manure contributes to climate protection by reducing emissions of CO2 via substitution of fossil fuels and by reducing CH4 emissions from the manure during storage (Moller et al.‚ 2007). It is expected that biogas production will be instrumental in reaching European goals in the field of renewable energy. Due to the simultaneous advantages

limiting factor in the production of culinary ginger (Zingiber officinale Roscoe) in Hawaii. The disease was responsible for a 45 percent statewide production loss of the ginger crop in 1993. It is a complex and difficult disease to control‚ infecting the ginger crop through all phases of a production cycle. It is present systemically in seed rhizomes as both an active and latent infection that contaminates seed-pieces when they are cut and prepared for field planting. In open-field production‚ even

Explain the factors affecting the general atmospheric circulation (40 Marks) The variation in heating on the Earth’s surface from the sun is large enough for different patterns of pressure cells to form. With three cells in total‚ the first being the Hadley cell‚ devised in 1686 and revised in 1735‚ Hadley proposed that warm tropical air rises and spreads towards the poles at high altitudes‚ with a return flow towards the equator at low level. He added in 1735 the effects of the Earth’s rotation
