Global+climate+issues
This document provides information about global climate issues and research. It discusses the differences between weather and climate, how the sun's energy affects the Earth's climate, and factors that impact climate such as greenhouse gases. The document directs the reader to interactive elements to learn about how scientists study past climates using data from glaciers, timelines, and climate models to understand climate changes over hundreds, thousands, and millions of years and to predict future climate changes. The reader is asked to form their own opinion on what will happen to the global climate in the future based on the information presented.
Climate Variability and Change
Short 'lightning' talk introducing the concepts of natural variability, internal variability, and anthropogenic climate change
4 seasons
The document discusses the four seasons - spring, summer, autumn, and winter. It explains that the seasons are caused by the tilt of the Earth's axis at 23.5 degrees and its revolution around the sun. As the Earth revolves, different parts of the globe are tilted toward or away from the sun, causing seasonal changes. The northern hemisphere experiences summer when its top half is tilted toward the sun, and winter when the bottom half is tilted toward the sun. The Philippines has two seasons - the wet season from June to October and the dry season from November to May.
Cambio climatico
Climate change refers to changes in weather patterns over time due to an increase in temperature caused by greenhouse gases trapping heat in the atmosphere. The two main phenomena associated with climate change are the greenhouse effect and global warming. The greenhouse effect occurs when gases like carbon dioxide in the atmosphere prevent heat from escaping, similar to the way a greenhouse retains heat. Global warming describes the rise in average temperatures worldwide due to these increased greenhouse gases. If climate change continues unchecked, its effects will include further temperature increases, changes to ecosystems, and threats to human health and agriculture.
Regional synthesis - Central America/Caribbean
The document summarizes key findings from the Sixth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) regarding projected climate changes in Central America and the Caribbean region. It finds that average and extreme temperatures will continue increasing, sea levels will rise, droughts will become more frequent, and precipitation patterns will change, with annual rainfall expected to decrease in most areas. Graphs show projections of increasing temperatures, decreasing total precipitation, and shifts in monthly and extreme precipitation patterns through the 21st century for the region.
2017 swcs weather observers presentation
This document discusses using weather as a way to discuss climate change through a weather observers program. It covers topics like the composition of the atmosphere, heat and temperature, air pressure and winds, clouds and precipitation, and how climate and weather predictions may directly affect people. It shows data on increasing trends in Midwest temperature and precipitation, especially in spring and summer. It also discusses observations of major increases in very heavy precipitation events, extreme precipitation events, and the projected increase in consecutive dry days for agriculture. The goal is to have a fact-based discussion about climate change that reduces biases by using weather as a relatable topic.
Climate Change is a Hoax
The document argues that claims of catastrophic man-made global warming are unsupported and contradicted by evidence. It cites historical periods like the Roman Warm Period and Medieval Warm Period that were warmer than present without human CO2 emissions. It also notes recent record cold temperatures, growing ice sheets, and thriving polar bear populations that contradict assertions of imminent warming catastrophes. The document concludes that factors other than CO2 like natural climate variability and urban heat island effects best explain temperature changes.
Overview_ Weather, Global Warming and Climate Change.pdf
The document discusses the differences between weather, global warming, and climate change. It defines weather as short-term atmospheric conditions measured in minutes to days, while climate refers to long-term regional or global patterns over seasons, years or decades. Global warming is the long-term rise in Earth's average surface temperature due to human emissions of greenhouse gases. Climate change encompasses long-term shifts in weather patterns driven by both natural causes and human activities like fossil fuel use. The document provides data showing that since 1850, human activities have warmed the planet by about 1°C and global temperatures continue to rise by 0.2°C each decade.

Regional Climate Information: Small Islands - Caribbean
The document summarizes key findings from the IPCC's Sixth Assessment Report regarding climate change impacts on the Caribbean region. It finds that most Caribbean Small Islands have warmed over recent decades by 0.15-0.2 degrees Celsius per decade. It also finds with medium confidence that extreme hot temperatures have increased in the Caribbean due to human-caused climate change. The report projects that Caribbean Small Island summer rainfall will decrease in coming decades, with drying intensifying at higher levels of global warming. It concludes that Caribbean Small Islands will continue to warm slightly less than the global average in the coming decades.
Regional Climate Information: Small Islands - Pacific
The document summarizes key findings from the Sixth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Working Group I about observed and projected climate changes in the Pacific region. It finds that air and ocean temperatures have increased across the tropical and subtropical Pacific. While year-to-year and decade-to-decade variability dominates rainfall trends, some regions like eastern Micronesia have become drier, while others like western Micronesia have become wetter. By 2041-2060, the report projects continued warming of air and ocean temperatures across the western Pacific, as well as increases in rainfall in the central and eastern equatorial Pacific but decreases in winter rainfall in the subtropical Pacific.
2015 presentation
The 2015 long range outlook forecasts temperatures and precipitation for the year based on an El Nino state of the atmosphere, analogs of past seasonal patterns, and current soil moisture levels. It predicts 7 named hurricanes with 5 being major for 2015 based on these factors, which is close to the average but higher than the last year.

Key lessons from “A science-based call for financial decision-makers”
1) Limiting global warming to 1.5°C instead of 2°C significantly reduces physical risks like loss of warm-water corals and frequency of ice-free Arctic summers.
2) Achieving the 1.5°C target requires halving CO2 emissions by 2030 and reaching net zero CO2 by 2050 while also removing carbon from the atmosphere. This will require transitioning energy, land, industry, and urban systems.
3) Delaying climate action will increase both physical and transition financial risks over time. Accelerating the transition to low-carbon systems is needed to limit risks but also presents major economic opportunities, especially when coordinated with COVID-19 recovery efforts.
Earth science 21.1
The document discusses the key factors that affect climate, dividing the world into three main zones - the tropical zone near the equator with warm temperatures, the temperate zone between 23.5° and 66.5° with cooler temperatures, and the polar zone above 66.5° with the coldest temperatures. It also identifies several other factors that influence climate such as latitude, elevation, topography, proximity to large bodies of water, wind patterns, and vegetation cover.
Regional Climate Information: Small Islands - Regional Overview
The document summarizes key findings from the Sixth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) regarding climate change impacts on small islands. It finds that sea level rise and coastal inundation pose high risks to small islands, and that warming will increase heat extremes, marine heatwaves, and ocean acidification. Precipitation trends vary by region, but the Caribbean and parts of the Pacific and Western Indian Ocean are expected to experience drying. Tropical cyclones will likely be fewer but more intense in many areas. Constructing detailed climate information for planning is challenging due to lack of observations and high-resolution data in small islands.

This document summarizes key messages from an IPCC report on limiting global warming to 1.5°C for Alliance of Small Island States (AOSIS). It notes that climate change is already affecting people and ecosystems worldwide. Limiting warming to 1.5°C rather than 2°C or more would significantly reduce risks for small islands but still risks some irreversible impacts. The report finds that small islands are already adapting to climate change impacts but more international support is needed. It identifies areas for further research on projected impacts at 1.5°C and 2°C for small islands.
Workshop 1 - Aaron Wilson
The document summarizes regional climate trends and projections for the future in the Midwest region. It finds that temperatures have increased across the US by 1.2-1.8°F since 1986, with the greatest warming occurring in winter. Precipitation trends vary by region but the Midwest has seen increases. Extreme precipitation events are also becoming more frequent and intense. Climate models project continued warming of 2.0-3.7°F by late century under higher emissions scenarios, with more hot days and fewer cold days. This will impact agriculture, water resources, and increase flood risks. Adaptation strategies will be needed to prepare communities.
4.1 Climate
Climate is defined as the average weather conditions in a region over many years, including patterns of temperature and precipitation. It differs from weather, which describes short term conditions. Global climate is determined by factors like solar energy absorbed and retained due to greenhouse gases, latitude determining the intensity of sunlight received, and wind and ocean currents transporting heat around the planet. Without the greenhouse effect retaining some heat, the average temperature on Earth would be around 30°C cooler.

Climatic systems major components and implications in agricultural planning
This document discusses the components of climatic systems and their implications for agricultural planning. It defines climatic systems as consisting of five major components: the atmosphere, hydrosphere, cryosphere, land surface, and biosphere. It describes each of these components and their interactions. The document then discusses how understanding climatic systems can inform various aspects of agricultural planning, such as selecting crop varieties suited to local climates, managing frost and drought risks, and adapting to climate change.

Lec 1 weather_ climate_greenhouse_effect
This document provides definitions of weather and climate, noting that weather is atmospheric conditions at a given time while climate refers to long-term averages and statistics. It discusses climate variability, which refers to fluctuations around the mean temperature, and climate change, which is a long-term trend responding to a forcing factor. Positive feedback loops can cause dramatic climate change through self-reinforcing effects, while negative feedback acts to stabilize the climate system. The greenhouse effect naturally regulates Earth's temperature, but human emissions of greenhouse gases are enhancing this effect and raising global temperatures beyond natural variability. There is still uncertainty around how exactly the climate system will respond to increased CO2 levels.

Climate Planning in the South Shore outlines observations and projections of climate change impacts, evaluates vulnerability and strengths, and proposes near and long-term action plans. The document describes increasing temperatures, more extreme heat days, precipitation changes and inland flooding from sea level rise and severe storms. It evaluates how these climate impacts affect people, places and the economy in the region. Finally, it recommends policy, programs and projects to build resilience through both near-term and long-term climate action planning.

Global warming refers to the long-term rise in average surface temperatures of the Earth due to human-caused emissions of greenhouse gases. Global warming is causing various effects including changes in precipitation patterns and impacts that differ by region. While global warming refers to global averages, its effects are not uniform and temperatures are increasing faster over land and in the Arctic. Regional trends show oceans warm more slowly than land and the temperature difference between hemispheres has increased since industrialization.
The natural causes of climate change
Large volcanic eruptions can cool the global climate by ejecting ash and sulfur dioxide into the stratosphere, where they reflect sunlight back into space. The 1991 eruption of Mount Pinatubo cooled the planet by 0.5°C for about a year by reducing sunlight by 10%. Even larger eruptions like Tambora in 1815 and Krakatoa in 1883 lowered global temperatures more significantly for multiple years.
How Can Fukuoka Become The Next Silicon Valley
This document discusses how Fukuoka, Japan can become the next Silicon Valley by attracting creative talent and fostering innovation. It analyzes factors like technology communities, patents, income, and diversity in Fukuoka compared to other cities. The author believes Fukuoka lacks ambitious people and job opportunities that utilize a variety of skills. To become more like Silicon Valley, Fukuoka needs to attract and retain talented people, increase diversity, invest in education/R&D, and promote an environment where people feel they can make an impact.

Lecture 3 social and environmental sustainability
The document discusses the shift from traditional mass production models to more sustainable approaches. It argues that all current economic systems assume perpetual growth through increased consumption, but this is ecologically unsustainable. A new model is needed where production meets social needs through cooperation rather than competition. It suggests moving from standardized mass production to customized solutions and from product-based economies to access-based service models. This requires new partnerships between producers, users and other stakeholders to jointly develop solutions. The role of design is to give form to such collaborative systems that are socially and environmentally responsible.

1966 frank-development of underdevelopment
This document discusses the historical development of underdevelopment in colonial and post-colonial societies. It argues that:
1) Colonial powers established hierarchical systems of metropoles (capital cities) and satellites (surrounding rural areas and towns) to extract resources from colonies and direct economic surplus to the colonial center.
2) These metropolis-satellite relationships structured the entire economic, political, and social systems of colonies, and persisted after independence. National capital cities became metropoles over surrounding satellites.
3) Rather than being isolated or traditional, all parts of colonial and post-colonial societies were thoroughly penetrated and shaped by their incorporation into the capitalist world system through extraction of surplus by metropoles at various levels

Dependency Theory
This document summarizes key ideas from two works: Frank's "The Development of Underdevelopment" and Dos Santos' "The Structure of Dependency". Frank argues that modernization theory, which views underdevelopment as a natural phase, is deficient because it ignores how colonialism altered development paths in the Third World. Underdevelopment was intentionally created through exploiting resources and transferring economic surplus to Western nations. Dos Santos identifies three historical forms of dependency - colonial, financial-industrial, technological-industrial - and how they structurally limit industrial development and reproduce inequality in dependent nations under foreign capital's control.
Participatory development
Participatory development seeks to engage local populations in development projects to strengthen their influence over decisions and resources. It empowers groups to negotiate with institutions, improves efficiency and sustainability of programs, and checks government power. Effective participatory development requires identifying stakeholders like community groups, governments, NGOs and donors, and incorporating their input at all stages through methods ranging from information sharing to shared control. Examples from Philippines projects demonstrate how participatory planning at village, municipal and provincial levels built social capital and empowered communities.
Japanese literature
Japan has a long history of unique cultural traditions that are reflected in its literature, art, and ceremonies. Japanese literature dates back to at least the 8th century AD and includes notable works like the Man'yoshu poetry anthology and Murasaki Shikibu's 11th century novel The Tale of Genji. Traditional Japanese ceremonies like the tea ceremony, weddings, and funerals follow customs that are deeply rooted in Japanese cultural heritage. Festivals also incorporate contests demonstrating artistic and literary skills that have been part of Japanese culture for centuries.

Key findings include sea levels projected to rise 30-40cm by 2080 with small increases in storm surge heights. There is uncertainty around future storminess and rainfall. Emerging policies show a focus on mitigation and flood risk, but coastal issues are less addressed. Top concerns for planners are development and flood risk. Upcoming workshops will explore adaptation scenarios.

This document discusses the challenges of combating climate change in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq. It outlines the causes and effects of climate change globally and analyzes the current climate situation in the KRG region. Some of the key challenges facing climate action in the KRG include a lack of environmental awareness, unstable political issues, financial crises, and low quality of local climate data. The document recommends that universities focus more on climate change research and hold green workshops to increase awareness and involvement of the community in addressing this urgent issue.
2009 09 IMCORE - Rhoda Ballinger
The document introduces the IMCORE climate change project and provides an update on work being done in the Severn Estuary. IMCORE aims to promote sustainable approaches to reducing climate change impacts on coastal resources through developing adaptation strategies across North West Europe. For the Severn Estuary, activities include developing a science base through SECCRAG, reviewing corporate responses to climate change, scenario building for future climate conditions, and developing education materials. Preliminary findings show local authorities have key roles in climate change preparation and most have adopted strategies, but there is little sense of cohesion across the Severn Estuary. Future IMCORE work includes ongoing science reviews, partnership opportunities, and upcoming events.

The document summarizes key findings from the IPCC's 5th assessment report on climate change. It notes that the report provides further evidence that human activity is the dominant cause of warming trends since the mid-20th century. Projections for future temperature increases have been reinforced, with global temperatures likely to exceed 1.5°C by 2100 under all scenarios except RCP2.6. The Bodele Depression in Chad is identified as one of the largest sources of dust in the world, exporting millions of tons annually that fertilize ecosystems in Africa, South America, and the Atlantic.
CLIMATE CHANGE - UNEP.ppt
This document summarizes the current state of knowledge on climate change from the WTO-UNEP Trade and Climate Change Report. It finds that warming of the climate is unequivocal, largely due to human-caused greenhouse gas emissions. If emissions continue at high rates, global temperatures could rise 4-6°C by 2100. Impacts are already apparent worldwide and include increased extreme weather, sea level rise, and effects on agriculture and ecosystems. Both mitigation to reduce emissions and adaptation to unavoidable impacts will be needed. Approaches include energy efficiency, renewable energy, forestry protection, and climate-resilient development.

The document discusses climate change, its causes and impacts. It notes that warming trends are unequivocal and human activity is very likely the dominant cause since 1950. Projections show continued warming and increased climate impacts globally and regionally without mitigation efforts. Both adaptation and mitigation strategies are needed to avoid the worst effects, with estimated annual costs of $100 billion for adaptation in developing countries alone. Effective response requires participation and cooperation between developed and developing countries.

Impacts are already apparent worldwide and include increased extreme weather events. Both mitigation efforts to reduce emissions and adaptation are needed to avoid the worst effects of climate change. Approaches include improving energy efficiency, switching to renewable energy, reducing deforestation, and improved agricultural practices.
Climate Change: Effects on the UK
1) Climate observations in the UK show warming since 1960, with greater warming in summer than winter. There have also been increases in warm days/nights and decreases in cool days/nights. Human influence has increased the likelihood of warm summers.
2) Climate projections for the UK show temperature increases of up to 3C in the south and 2.5C further north by 2100 under a mid-range emissions scenario. Precipitation is projected to increase up to 10% across most of the UK, though some southern areas could see decreases of up to 5%.
3) Climate impacts projections include the potential for declining crop yields in southern UK but increases in northern areas. The UK is expected to
Energy, environment and growth nexus in South Asia
This document summarizes a study on the energy, environment, and economic growth nexus in South Asia. It finds that while energy consumption positively impacts economic growth, carbon dioxide emissions negatively affect growth. Specifically:
- Energy consumption in Bangladesh, India, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka is dominated by fossil fuels. India and Bangladesh rely over 70% on fossil fuels.
- The study uses panel unit root and cointegration tests to examine the long-run and short-run relationships between GDP, energy consumption, and CO2 emissions from 1980-2010.
- In the long-run, a 1% increase in energy consumption increases GDP by 0.8% while a 1% increase in CO2 emissions

Cross-border Marine Planning in the North West: Challenges & Opportunities
After years of stakeholder lobbying we have reached an exciting stage in the development of marine planning in the UK with all administrations busy rolling out their first wave of marine plans. This presentation will start by highlighting the historic significance of this work and by providing an overview of the current position on marine planning in each of the four devolved UK administrations. It will then consider the challenges and opportunities for cross-border marine planning with particular reference to the North West of England which shares some of the complexities that face marine planning in the Severn Estuary. Challenges that will be explored include complex institutional arrangements, ongoing financial restraint, development trends and the uncertain implications of Brexit. However the talk will emphasise the opportunities for delivering more integrated planning and management of our marine and coastal areas that exist and the role that coastal partnerships can play in realising these.

She, along with her colleague, works to train new and existing archaeological groups on how to identify, record and monitor archaeology and work to raise awareness of coastal heritage to local communities.
CITiZAN in the Severn
As coastal archaeologists we face processes which are destructive to archaeology but cannot be protected against. The coastal zone does not, and cannot be afforded the protection that terrestrial archaeology, or even maritime archaeology to a certain degree, enjoys. When looking at Historic Environment Records the coast often looks sparse, we have thousands of records which have been identified through development archaeology but coastal development is very limited, for obvious reasons. So how do we work to identify and record an archaeological resource which is unquantified, fragile, constantly eroding and spans thousands of miles? The CITIZAN (Coastal and Intertidal Zone Archaeological Network) project aims to do just this, with its three regional teams covering hundreds of miles each and working in environments from low lying estuaries to granite cliffs.
This presentation will look at the recording of complex archaeological sites in the diverse coastal zone, focusing on the use of new technologies and their accessibility with a focus on our work in the Severn Estuary.

2006 09 10,000 Years of Change, Richard Brunning
The document summarizes the work of the Severn Estuary Levels Research Committee from 1991-2005. The committee was made up of amateurs and professionals from universities, local authorities, heritage organizations, and archaeological contractors. Their goals were to coordinate, promote, and disseminate research on the archaeology of the Severn Estuary region, and to provide an academic overview of archaeological and environmental research. Over the years, they produced annual reports, conferences, publications, and field meetings to share knowledge about sites dating back 10,000 years that have been uncovered throughout the estuary.
2006 08 Tidal Severn Flood Risk Management Strategy and Avonmouth Scheme - Ni...
This document discusses strategic approaches to flood defence and coastal protection. It recommends adopting long-term strategic plans, such as Shoreline Management Plans (SMPs) and Tiered Strategic Studies (TSSs), to help with decision making and investment. SMPs provide a framework for sustainable coastal defence policies over 50 years, while TSSs identify flood risks, options, and preferred solutions with implementation plans. Both align with the government's "Making Space for Water" initiative, which also supports catchment-wide and shoreline-wide strategic approaches.
2006 07 Avonmouth Renewable Energy Project - Patrick Kearon, The Bristol Port...
The Bristol Port Company proposed erecting 3 wind turbines at their site in Avonmouth Dock to supply up to 75% of the port's electricity from renewable sources. An environmental assessment found the optimal turbine location had low visual and wildlife impacts. While some increased visibility was found from nearby villages, mitigation measures ensured no major adverse effects. The project would make a significant contribution to the UK's renewable energy targets while reducing CO2 emissions. Construction was planned to begin in 2006.
2006 06 Severn Barrage: Is the Tide Turning? - David Kerr, Sir Robert McAlpine
The document discusses proposals for a tidal barrage across the Severn Estuary between Cardiff and Weston-super-Mare that could generate renewable energy from tidal power. It would utilize proven tidal power technology, impounding the tide with the barrage and releasing the water through turbines. The barrage could produce up to 17 terawatt-hours of electricity annually, helping the UK meet its renewable energy targets. However, the project would require an estimated capital cost of £14 billion and further environmental review given changes in the estuary since prior studies in the 1980s. The document reviews the potential construction, operation, costs, benefits, and impacts of the proposed tidal barrage.
2006 05 Severn Estuary Perspective - Roger Wade, Environment Agency
This document discusses the potential impacts of climate change on the Severn Estuary region. It outlines direct impacts such as increased flood risk and coastal erosion as well as impacts to habitats and water resources. Indirect impacts include effects on renewable energy production, aggregates dredging, and tourism. Specific concerns mentioned include increased flood damage by 2080, coastal erosion under high emissions scenarios, changes in bird and fish populations, effects on water resources like salt water ingress and dredging costs, and pressures from aggregate dredging and housing demand.

Recycling and Disposal on SWM Raymond Einyu pptx
Increasing urbanization, rural–urban migration, rising standards of living, and rapid development associated with population growth have resulted in increased solid waste generation by industrial, domestic and other activities in Nairobi City. It has been noted in other contexts too that increasing population, changing consumption patterns, economic development, changing income, urbanization and industrialization all contribute to the increased generation of waste.
With the increasing urban population in Kenya, which is estimated to be growing at a rate higher than that of the country’s general population, waste generation and management is already a major challenge. The industrialization and urbanization process in the country, dominated by one major city – Nairobi, which has around four times the population of the next largest urban centre (Mombasa) – has witnessed an exponential increase in the generation of solid waste. It is projected that by 2030, about 50 per cent of the Kenyan population will be urban.
Aim:
A healthy, safe, secure and sustainable solid waste management system fit for a world – class city.
Improve and protect the public health of Nairobi residents and visitors.
Ecological health, diversity and productivity and maximize resource recovery through the participatory approach.
Goals:
Build awareness and capacity for source separation as essential components of sustainable waste management.
Build new environmentally sound infrastructure and systems for safe disposal of residual waste and replacing current dumpsites which should be commissioned.
Current solid waste management situation:
The status.
Solid waste generation rate is at 2240 tones / day
collection efficiently is at about 50%.
Actors i.e. city authorities, CBO’s , private firms and self-disposal
Current SWM Situation in Nairobi City:
Solid waste generation – collection – dumping
Good Practices:
• Separation – recycling – marketing.
• Open dumpsite dandora dump site through public education on source separation of waste, of which the situation can be reversed.
• Nairobi is one of the C40 cities in this respect , various actors in the solid waste management space have adopted a variety of technologies to reduce short lived climate pollutants including source separation , recycling , marketing of the recycled products.
• Through the network, it should expect to benefit from expertise of the different actors in the network in terms of applicable technologies and practices in reducing the short-lived climate pollutants.
Good practices:
Despite the dismal collection of solid waste in Nairobi city, there are practices and activities of informal actors (CBOs, CBO-SACCOs and yard shop operators) and other formal industrial actors on solid waste collection, recycling and waste reduction.
Practices and activities of these actor groups are viewed as innovations with the potential to change the way solid waste is handled.
CHALLENGES:
• Resource Allocation.

Improving the viability of probiotics by encapsulation methods for developmen...Open Access Research Paper
The popularity of functional foods among scientists and common people has been increasing day by day. Awareness and modernization make the consumer think better regarding food and nutrition. Now a day’s individual knows very well about the relation between food consumption and disease prevalence. Humans have a diversity of microbes in the gut that together form the gut microflora. Probiotics are the health-promoting live microbial cells improve host health through gut and brain connection and fighting against harmful bacteria. Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus are the two bacterial genera which are considered to be probiotic. These good bacteria are facing challenges of viability. There are so many factors such as sensitivity to heat, pH, acidity, osmotic effect, mechanical shear, chemical components, freezing and storage time as well which affects the viability of probiotics in the dairy food matrix as well as in the gut. Multiple efforts have been done in the past and ongoing in present for these beneficial microbial population stability until their destination in the gut. One of a useful technique known as microencapsulation makes the probiotic effective in the diversified conditions and maintain these microbe’s community to the optimum level for achieving targeted benefits. Dairy products are found to be an ideal vehicle for probiotic incorporation. It has been seen that the encapsulated microbial cells show higher viability than the free cells in different processing and storage conditions as well as against bile salts in the gut. They make the food functional when incorporated, without affecting the product sensory characteristics.

Kinetic studies on malachite green dye adsorption from aqueous solutions by A...Open Access Research Paper
Water polluted by dyestuffs compounds is a global threat to health and the environment; accordingly, we prepared a green novel sorbent chemical and Physical system from an algae, chitosan and chitosan nanoparticle and impregnated with algae with chitosan nanocomposite for the sorption of Malachite green dye from water. The algae with chitosan nanocomposite by a simple method and used as a recyclable and effective adsorbent for the removal of malachite green dye from aqueous solutions. Algae, chitosan, chitosan nanoparticle and algae with chitosan nanocomposite were characterized using different physicochemical methods. The functional groups and chemical compounds found in algae, chitosan, chitosan algae, chitosan nanoparticle, and chitosan nanoparticle with algae were identified using FTIR, SEM, and TGADTA/DTG techniques. The optimal adsorption conditions, different dosages, pH and Temperature the amount of algae with chitosan nanocomposite were determined. At optimized conditions and the batch equilibrium studies more than 99% of the dye was removed. The adsorption process data matched well kinetics showed that the reaction order for dye varied with pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order. Furthermore, the maximum adsorption capacity of the algae with chitosan nanocomposite toward malachite green dye reached as high as 15.5mg/g, respectively. Finally, multiple times reusing of algae with chitosan nanocomposite and removing dye from a real wastewater has made it a promising and attractive option for further practical applications.

Evolving Lifecycles with High Resolution Site Characterization (HRSC) and 3-D...
The incorporation of a 3DCSM and completion of HRSC provided a tool for enhanced, data-driven, decisions to support a change in remediation closure strategies. Currently, an approved pilot study has been obtained to shut-down the remediation systems (ISCO, P&T) and conduct a hydraulic study under non-pumping conditions. A separate micro-biological bench scale treatability study was competed that yielded positive results for an emerging innovative technology. As a result, a field pilot study has commenced with results expected in nine-twelve months. With the results of the hydraulic study, field pilot studies and an updated risk assessment leading site monitoring optimization cost lifecycle savings upwards of $15MM towards an alternatively evolved best available technology remediation closure strategy.

Climate Change All over the World .pptx
Climate change refers to significant and lasting changes in the average weather patterns over periods ranging from decades to millions of years. It encompasses both global warming driven by human emissions of greenhouse gases and the resulting large-scale shifts in weather patterns. While climate change is a natural phenomenon, human activities, particularly since the Industrial Revolution, have accelerated its pace and intensity

ENVIRONMENT~ Renewable Energy Sources and their future prospects.
This presentation is for us to know that how our Environment need Attention for protection of our natural resources which are depleted day by day that's why we need to take time and shift our attention to renewable energy sources instead of non-renewable sources which are better and Eco-friendly for our environment. these renewable energy sources are so helpful for our planet and for every living organism which depends on environment.

Optimizing Post Remediation Groundwater Performance with Enhanced Microbiolog...
Results of geophysics and pneumatic injection pilot tests during 2003 – 2007 yielded significant positive results for injection delivery design and contaminant mass treatment, resulting in permanent shut-down of an existing groundwater Pump & Treat system.
Accessible source areas were subsequently removed (2011) by soil excavation and treated with the placement of Emulsified Vegetable Oil EVO and zero-valent iron ZVI to accelerate treatment of impacted groundwater in overburden and weathered fractured bedrock. Post pilot test and post remediation groundwater monitoring has included analyses of CVOCs, organic fatty acids, dissolved gases and QuantArray® -Chlor to quantify key microorganisms (e.g., Dehalococcoides, Dehalobacter, etc.) and functional genes (e.g., vinyl chloride reductase, methane monooxygenase, etc.) to assess potential for reductive dechlorination and aerobic cometabolism of CVOCs.
In 2022, the first commercial application of MetaArray™ was performed at the site. MetaArray™ utilizes statistical analysis, such as principal component analysis and multivariate analysis to provide evidence that reductive dechlorination is active or even that it is slowing. This creates actionable data allowing users to save money by making important site management decisions earlier.
The results of the MetaArray™ analysis’ support vector machine (SVM) identified groundwater monitoring wells with a 80% confidence that were characterized as either Limited for Reductive Decholorination or had a High Reductive Reduction Dechlorination potential. The results of MetaArray™ will be used to further optimize the site’s post remediation monitoring program for monitored natural attenuation.
