INTRODUCTION Oil palm breeding has made remarkable progress in increasing oil palm yield for over 150 years. The four African Elaeis guineensis palms brought over by the Dutch in 1848‚ and planted in Buitenzorg Botanical Garden (now Bogor) Indonesia laid the foundation for the oil palm industry in

Objective In this experiment we would be ascertaining the percentage content of ethanol in 3 samples (spirit‚ wine and a beer). We would be comparing the concentration of ethanol to that of 25%propanol which would act as an internal standard. Method To set up the standards for a calibration curve we would make solutions of different concentrations of ethanol. Using a 25cm3 volumetric flask we would put 10cm3 of 25% Propanol into each one which would act as an internal standard. We would

Oil Drilling Have you ever seen an animal covered in sludge‚ helpless and weak? Offshore oil drilling is one of our world’s biggest concerns. Offshore oil drilling is the discovery of finding oil or gasoline resources underwater. Usually the oil is found off the coasts of each continent and can also be found in lakes and small seas. Drilling for oil provides the energy to make fuels for cars and other machinery. Many different platforms can be used for offshore oil drilling such as drill ships
