Genetically Modified Plants and Animals Why should we know about the genetic modification of plants and animals? In this world today we are seeing different labels on our foods but does anyone even really know what they mean? For example what is the difference between a regular tomato and an organic tomato? We should know what foods we are consuming and how they affect our bodies. I believe that more regulations should be put into place by the Food and Drug Administration so that we are better

The transfer of trace elements between soil and plant is part of chemical element cycling in the nature. The mobility and availability of trace elements are controlled by many factor of Climatic‚ biological and geochemical origins in nature. That means‚ to predict the uptake of trace elements by plants from soil it is important to look at several biotic and abiotic parameters the affect and control the behavior of elements in the soil. The risk to environment and human health of a given trace metals

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

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

a specific case of engine-generator. Diesel generating sets are used in places without connection to the power grid‚ as emergency power-supply if the grid fails‚ as well as for more complex applications such as peak-lopping‚ grid support and export to the power grid. Sizing of diesel generators is critical to avoid low-load or a shortage of power and is complicated by modern electronics‚ specifically non-linear loads.

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
