UNDERSTANDING WHAT GREEN WASHING IS!.pdfJulietMogola
Many companies today use green washing to lure the public into thinking they are conserving the environment but in real sense they are doing more harm. There have been such several cases from very big companies here in Kenya and also globally. This ranges from various sectors from manufacturing and goes to consumer products. Educating people on greenwashing will enable people to make better choices based on their analysis and not on what they see on marketing sites.

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.
ENVIRONMENT~ Renewable Energy Sources and their future prospects.tiwarimanvi3129
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.

The objective of this work is to contribute to valorization de Nephelium lappaceum by the characterization of kinetics of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum. The seeds were dehydrated until a constant mass respectively in a drying oven and a microwawe oven. The temperatures and the powers of drying are respectively: 50, 60 and 70°C and 140, 280 and 420 W. The results show that the curves of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum do not present a phase of constant kinetics. The coefficients of diffusion vary between 2.09.10-8 to 2.98. 10-8m-2/s in the interval of 50°C at 70°C and between 4.83×10-07 at 9.04×10-07 m-8/s for the powers going of 140 W with 420 W the relation between Arrhenius and a value of energy of activation of 16.49 kJ. mol-1 expressed the effect of the temperature on effective diffusivity.
2. Nonrenewable energy resources- fossil fuels
(coal, oil, natural gas) and nuclear fuels.
Nonrenewable Energy
3. Commercial energy sources- those that are
bought and sold, such as coal, oil and natural
gas.
Subsistence energy sources- those gathered by
individuals for their own use such as wood,
charcoal and animal waste.
Energy Use
7. The burning fuel from coal transfers energy to
water, which becomes steam.
The kinetic energy contained within the steam
is transferred to the blades of a turbine, a large
device that resembles a fan.
As the energy in the steam turns the turbine,
the shaft in the center of the turbine turns the
generator.
This mechanical motion generates energy.
Electricity Generation
8. Most coal burning power plants are about 35%
efficient.
Energy Efficiency
9. Cogeneration- using a fuel to generate
electricity and to produce heat.
Example- If steam is used for industrial
purposes or to heat buildings it is diverted to
turn a turbine first.
This improves the efficiency to as high as 90%.
Cogeneration
10. Coal- a solid fuel formed primarily from the
remains of trees, ferns, and other plant
materials that were preserved 280-360 million
years ago.
Four types of coal ranked from lesser to greater
age, exposure to pressure, and energy content.
These four types are: lignite, sub-bituminous,
bituminous, and anthracite.
The largest coal reserves are in the United
States, Russia, China, and India.
Coal
12. Advantages Disadvantages
Energy-dense Contains impurities
Plentiful Release impurities into air when
burned
Easy to exploit by surface mining Trace metals like mercury, lead, and
arsenic are found in coal
Technological demands are small Combustion leads to increased levels
of sulfur dioxide and other air
pollutants into the atmosphere.
Economic costs are low Ash is left behind
Easy to handle and transport Carbon is released into the
atmosphere which contributes to
climate change
Needs little refining
Advantages and
Disadvantages of Coal
13. Petroleum- a mixture of hydrocarbons, water,
and sulfur that occurs in underground
deposits.
Oil and gasoline make this ideal for mobile
combustion, such as vehicles.
Formed from the remains of ocean-dwelling
phytoplankton that died 50-150 million years
ago.
Countries with the most petroleum are Saudi
Arabia, Russia, the United States, Iran, China,
Canada, and Mexico.
Petroleum
15. Advantages Disadvantages
Convenient to transport and use Releases carbon dioxide into
atmosphere
Relatively energy-dense Possibility of leaks when extracted
and transported
Cleaner-burning than coal
Releases sulfur, mercury, lead, and
arsenic into the atmosphere when
burned
Advantages and
Disadvantages of
Petroleum
16. Natural gas- exists as a component of
petroleum in the ground as well as in gaseous
deposits separate from petroleum.
Contains 80 to 95 percent methane and 5 to 20
percent ethane, propane, and butane.
Natural Gas
17. Advantages Disadvantages
Contains fewer impurities and
therefore emits almost no sulfur
dioxide or particulates
When unburned, methane escapes
into the atmosphere
Emits only 60% as much carbon
dioxide as coal
Exploration of natural gas has the
potential of contaminating
groundwater
Advantages and
Disadvantages Natural
Gas
18. Oil sands- slow-flowing, viscous deposits of
bitumen mixed with sand, water, and clay.
Bitumen (tar or pitch)- a degraded type of
petroleum that forms when a petroleum
migrates close to the surface, where bacteria
metabolize some of the light hydrocarbons and
others evaporate.
Other Fossil Fuels
19.
20. Hubbert curve- a graph that shows the point at
which world oil production would reach a
maximum and the point at which we would
run out of oil.
The Hubbert Curve
21. If current global use continues, we will run out
of conventional oil in less than 40 years.
Coal supplies will last for at least 200 years,
and probably much longer.
The Future of Fossil Fuel
Use
22. Fission- a nuclear
reaction in which a
neutron strikes a
relatively large atomic
nucleus, which then
splits into two or more
parts.
Nuclear Energy
24. Fuel rods- the cylindrical tubes that house the
nuclear fuel used in a nuclear power plant.
Nuclear power plants work by using heat from
nuclear fission to heat water. This water
produces the steam to turn the turbine, which
turns a generator.
Control rods- cylindrical devices that can be
inserted between the fuel rods to absorb excess
neutrons, thus slowing or stopping the fission
reaction.
Nuclear Reactors
25. Advantages Disadvantages
No air pollution is produced Possibility of accidents
Countries can limit their need for
imported oil
Disposal of the radioactive waste
Advantages and
Disadvantages of Nuclear
Energy
26. Radioactive waste- once the nuclear fuel can
not produce enough heat to be used in a power
plant but it continues to emit radioactivity.
This waste must be stored in special, highly
secure locations because of the danger to living
organisms.
Radioactive Waste
27. High-level radioactive waste- the form used in
fuel rods.
Low-level radioactive waste- the protective
clothing, tools, rags, and other items used in
routine plant maintenance.
Radioactive Waste
28. Nuclear fusion- the reaction that powers the
Sun and other stars. This occurs when lighter
nuclei are forced together to produce heavier
nuclei and heat is released.
Fusion is a promising, unlimited source of
energy in the future, but so far scientists have
had difficulty cotaining the heat that is
produced.
Fusion
