This document discusses homeostasis and the factors that influence an animal's internal environment. It explains that most animal cells are exposed to the internal environment rather than the external one, and that animals must actively regulate their internal conditions through homeostasis. It also notes that the composition of dry atmospheric air is extremely constant, with oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon dioxide making up the majority, and that increases in carbon dioxide from fossil fuel use can impact the greenhouse effect and global climate.
Ozone is the protective layer around the Earths surface which protects the Earth from harmful ultraviolet radiations of sun. It is the layer which lies in stratosphere and absorbs the harmful radiation, in other words it acts like an umbrella. But anthropocentric activities causing the destruction of ozone layer by emission n of CFC's from coolants and refrigerators. This ozone layer is to be protected for existence of life on Earth. In order to protect this layer ever year 16th September. is celebrated as a world ozone day. Lets join the fight to protect this layer and to live without any fear.

With the advancement of Industrial Revolution, the anthropogenic activities have brought about increase in the quantities of greenhouse gases (GHGs) into the atmosphere leading to various climatic changes. The climate change is mainly caused by production of GHG emissions in the atmosphere. As the major population of the world seems to agree with the concept of ‘human development’ including the ‘environment’ factor, the various attempts for sustainability is not found to be interesting or beneficial. Therefore, the main motto of the world is to improve the standard of living by attaining suitable measures. However, most of the population on earth still do not get ‘bare minimum’ for development; the humanity faces the challenge of the “Climate Changeâ€Â. Various efforts need to address climate change through mitigation of GHG emissions and building of adaptive capacities to deal with the severe impacts of climate change.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

2. An animal is defined by its
organization.
This characteristic of animals
provides the most fundamental
reason why animals require
inputs of energy throughout life
the second law of
thermodynamics says that for
organization to be maintained in
a dynamic system, use of energy
is essential.
Most cells of an animal are
exposed to the internal
environment, not the external
environment

6. COMPOSITION OF DRY ATMOSPHERIC AIR remains EXTREMELY CONSTANT
PHYSIOLOGICALLY MOST IMPORTANT
GASES are
O 20.95 %
N 78.09 %
CO2 00.03 %
Ar 00.93 % (noble gases=0.002%
+ minute Methane + pollutant gases)
_______
in addition it contains water vapour
This composition of air is maintained as a balance between the
user of oxygen in oxidation processes (respiration) and
assimilation of carbon dioxide by plants in which oxygen is
released (photosynthesis).
Do use of fossil fuel- oil, coal, gas deplete
the atmospheric oxygen ?
in 1910 accurate oxygen analysis showed the
value of 20.948 % and in 1970 repeated measure showed
20.946 %.
the investigators then calculated that if all the
known recoverable FF reserves were depleted, there
would still be 20.8 % Oxygen left in the atmosphere.

Dr. Nagabhushan CM
Physiologically this change would be of no
consequence: it would be no more than the
change in oxygen partial pressure .
7. 7
• Slight increase in carbon dioxide by FF have negligible physiological
effects (not harmless)
• BUT the slight change in CO2 alters the absorption of solar radiation in
the atmosphere and may have unpredictable GHE which drastically
change climatic conditions.
Atm is more TRANSPARENT to incoming short-wave
radiations than to the long-wave radiations emitted by
earth.
The out going radiations are absorbed by CO2 and H2O
vapour. (if conc of CO2 is doubled = increased world
temp. by 1.3 oC if atm water remained constant)
9. 9
Carbon Dioxide (CO2)
A direct result of fossil fuel combustion, CO2 is arguably the most important
greenhouse gas, on the basis of both the amounts produced and its effects on
the climate (Bloom 2010). The majority of CO2 produced by human activities
stays in the atmosphere, while some also enters aquatic ecosystems.
Carbon dioxide levels are approximately 380 ppm (parts per million), but are
expected to reach 535–983 ppm by 2100 (IPCC 2007).
(Approximate contribution to global warming: 33%; Hansen & Sato 2001).
10. 10
Methane (CH4)
Under oxygen-poor (anaerobic) conditions, microorganisms frequently produce
CH4. Methane is also produced by: the imperfect combustion of wood products
(clearing land for agriculture), animals (digestive by-products of cattle, goats,
sheep), and natural gas operations (natural gas is primarily CH4) (Bloom
2010).
Methane levels are approximately 1.8 ppm, but future levels are predicted to
be from 1.46–3.39 ppm by 2100 (IPCC 2007).
(Approximate contribution to global warming: 15%; Hansen & Sato 2001).
11. 11
Ozone (O3)
Tropospheric ozone, as opposed to stratospheric ozone (i.e., the “ozone layer”),
is a secondary pollutant. One of the main components of photochemical smog, it
is generated through complex chemical reactions that involve sunlight, nitrogen
oxides (NOx), carbon monoxide (CO), and volatile organic compounds (VOCs)
(Bloom 2010).
All of these compounds are produced through by fossil fuel combustion.
Tropospheric ozone levels may increase by 40–60% by 2100 (IPCC, 2007).
(Approximate contribution to global warming: 13%; Hansen & Sato 2001).
12. 12
Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs)
Molecules of carbon atoms bound to chlorine and fluorine atoms.
used in diverse ways such as refrigerants, spray can propellants, cleaners, and in
the production of Styrofoam (Bloom 2010).
These compounds break down the ozone layer; chlorine atoms can break down
multiple ozone molecules (Withgott & Brennan 2009).
While tremendous progress has been made to reduce the production of these
compounds, they have a lifespan in the atmosphere of 20–100 years, and the
potential to increase global warming 1000-times more than a similar mass of
CO2 molecules (IPCC 2007; Bloom 2010).
(Approximate contribution to global warming: 7%; Hansen & Sato, 2001).
13. 13
Nitrous Oxide (N2O)
Most nitrous oxide is produced by microorganisms undergoing anaerobic
respiration (denitrification). Large fertilizer additions, a common agricultural
practice, increase these emissions (Bloom, 2010).
Nitrous oxide levels are approximately 0.32 ppm, but future levels are predicted to
be 0.36–0.46 ppm by 2100 (IPCC 2007).
(Approximate contribution to global warming: 6%; Hoffman et al. 2006).

• Extensive Melting Of Polar Ice Cover
• Rise In The Ocean Level (20-30 m or MORE)
• Loss Of Coastal Lands
• Major Cities Along The Shoreline
• Higher ATM Temp Can Hold More Water Vapour
Enhancing The Blanketing Effect Further Rise In Temp.
• However increased H2O vapour in the ATM may augment
formation of CLOUDS PROTECTS from incoming
solar radiations = OPPOSITE EFFECT.
16. 16
• Burrows , open spaces between soil particles have
variable air composition
• 15 % oxygen or even less
• 05 % increased CO2 conc.
• Reason: soil may contain oxidizable material that can
severely deplete the oxygen.
• Rich FeS can also consume oxygen until exhaustion.
• These oxidation processes depend on temperature;
humidity; rain water and other factors.
(ex. Rains blocks the soil porosity and provide
HUMIDITY for increased oxidation & the
microatmosphere may change drastically.
