Wine consists of four main attributes: alcohol, tannin, sweetness, and acid. Acid is usually sensed as sourness and is essential for preserving wines and helping them taste fresh. While all wine is acidic, usually ranging from about 2.5 pH to 4.5 pH, white wines often have higher acidity than red wines since reds are also preserved by phenolic compounds in their ingredients.
The primary acids found in wines are citric, tartaric, and malic acids. These are key components in grape acid and can be quite strong (particularly tartaric acid). In fact, this type of acid can reach up to 15 grams a liter in unripe grapes, and is usually found in amounts ranging from 3 to 6 grams per liter. Malic acid is another natural acid, often occurring in grapes at levels ranging from 1 to 6 grams per liter, depending on the climate. Meanwhile, citric acid is typically only seen in amounts between 0.5 and 1 gram per liter in grapes.
In addition to these naturally occurring acids, the fermentation process also creates additional acids, such as lactic and acetic acids. Ascorbic acid may also be added as an antioxidant during the process of making wine. The levels of these acids determine how sour a wine tastes, along with the foods that it will pair well with. Good wines balance acid with the other four flavors so nothing tastes too strong.

Many dolphin species are endangered due to threats like whaling, pollution, climate change, and habitat loss. There are 32 known types of dolphins that are at risk, including bottlenose dolphins, killer whales, and Hector's dolphins. Conservation efforts aim to raise awareness about threats to dolphins, protect their habitats, and end practices like commercial whaling that unjustly kill dolphins. With widespread support, it is believed that dolphins can be saved from extinction.
Organizations are trying to stop rhino and elephant poaching in Africa. Poaching has dramatically reduced rhino and elephant populations - at least 2 rhinos and nearly 100 elephants are killed daily by poachers. There are now only around 5,000 black rhinos and 20,000 white rhinos left in the world. Elephant numbers in Africa have declined from 1.3 million to an estimated 470,000-600,000. Rhinos and elephants now live in small, fragmented areas of Africa compared to their historic ranges due to poaching for their horns and tusks, which are illegally trafficked for their perceived medicinal value.
This document outlines information about the Rotary Action Group for Endangered Species (RAGES), including its board members, patron Dr. Jane Goodall, current membership of 269 members in 120 clubs in 35 countries, and initial projects to be supported helping elephants, rhinos, and conservation libraries in Kenya. It provides data on declining populations of endangered species like black rhinos, elephants, and mountain gorillas. It describes some RAGES projects focused on rhino protection using technology, dehorning, and supporting foundations in South Africa. Statistics are given on declining elephant populations and orphans being cared for in Kenya and Borneo. Contact information is provided for RAGES chair John Glassford.

Have you ever inflicted animal cruelty? Your first instinct is probably to say “never”. But you might have. Read on For 7 Ways That Travellers Unintentionally Commit Animal Cruelty
Poaching of elephants and rhinos occurs for their tusks and horns, which are used for ivory and traditional medicine. Poachers often use weapons and sell the animal parts for drugs, weapons, or quick money. Captured poachers may be fined or dealt with by the military. Poaching happens in areas like East Africa, India, and South America and threatens animal populations. Groups like WWF, IFAW, and others work to stop poaching through rangers, petitions, awareness, and funds to protect threatened wildlife.
Habitat loss and hunting are the primary reasons why species are endangered. Habitat loss occurs as human populations expand and clear land for settlements, agriculture, and infrastructure, destroying animal habitats. Hunting and poaching have reduced many animal populations beyond sustainable levels through unsustainable hunting for fur, meat, and sport. The document then lists several endangered species found in India, including tigers, red pandas, langurs, and cheetahs, which are now extinct in India. It suggests some ways for students to help endangered species by reducing pollution, planting trees, recycling, and joining conservation organizations.
Three endangered animals discussed in the document are the Siberian tiger, South China tiger, and Bengal tiger. The Siberian tiger population is very low, with only a few remaining in the wild, making them critically endangered. The South China tiger population is even lower, with just fifty-nine individuals remaining, all in captivity rather than the wild. Bengal tigers also have a small wild population of under two thousand. The document provides information on other endangered species and some actions people can take to help protect endangered animals and their habitats.
An endangered species is a species that is threatened with extinction due to small populations and habitats. Orangutans are endangered, with only around 7500 remaining in the world. Many animals worldwide are endangered for different reasons such as polar bears, red squirrels, sea turtles, and mountain gorillas. Conservation efforts aim to educate people and protect endangered species.
This document discusses Royjan Taylor's work with Bio-Ken Snake Farm in Kenya to promote conservation of reptiles like snakes through their "Saving Snakes" initiative. It aims to educate people on the importance of snakes in controlling rodent populations and to rescue snakes from being killed. The initiative hopes to expand across Sub-Saharan Africa by increasing awareness, finding regional partners, and obtaining sponsorships to support rescuing and caring for snakes.
Pandas, tigers, and polar bears are endangered species. There are estimated to be only 1,600 pandas, 3,200 tigers, and 20,000-25,000 polar bears remaining in the wild. These numbers are declining due to habitat loss and climate change. It is important to protect endangered species and help their populations recover by taking small actions like using resources more efficiently and joining conservation organizations.
Animal extinction is a serious problem, with between 1.4-1.8 million species scientifically identified so far, believed to be just a small percentage of total species. However, human activity like habitat destruction, pollution, and overconsumption are the main drivers of endangered species and extinction today. Key organizations work to prevent animal extinction by assisting endangered species, advocating compassionate treatment of animals, and developing cooperation between humans and wildlife. Preserving biodiversity requires both individual action to reduce our environmental impact as well as support for conservation groups protecting threatened species and ecosystems.
The document discusses the importance of protecting and caring for wild and endangered animals. It provides examples of endangered animals found in the Manila Zoo and explains various ways students can help protect habitats and endangered species, such as learning more about them, visiting wildlife areas, and making homes more friendly to wildlife. The story of two brothers' field trip to the zoo illustrates how they learned to appreciate endangered animals and their habitats.
The document discusses the issue of overfishing and its causes and impacts. Overfishing occurs when too many fish are caught, not allowing adequate time for fish populations to replenish. Worldwide fishing levels are two to three times more than oceans can sustainably support. As a result, at least 25% of fish stocks are overexploited or depleted. Overfishing also affects other marine life as fishing moves down the food chain, risking oceans dominated by small fish and invertebrates. Individuals can help by being aware of sustainable seafood options and choices.
This document provides information about African lions and the importance of preserving them. It discusses the lion's habitat in the African savannah, their social structure, hunting behaviors, threats faced including declining populations from poaching and hunting, and the consequences of lions becoming extinct such as disruption of the savannah ecosystem. The goal is for students to understand lions and the need for conservation efforts to protect the species and ecosystem.

We can help sea turtles by avoiding beach development, not polluting beaches, and not capturing sea turtles.
The fishhook water flea is a 1 cm long crustacean that was introduced to North American waters through ballast water in 1998 from seas in Europe. It has a spiny, curved tail that makes up 80% of its body and a pair of antennae, with its head comprised mostly of a single eye. It is harmful because it eats and competes with native zooplankton, is not nutritious for small fish to eat, and clogs fishing nets and lines, causing problems for fishing industries. Steps being taken include washing any equipment used in infested lakes to prevent further spreading, and if found, collecting samples on ice or in alcohol and freezing them before reporting to authorities.
The document discusses endangered species and what it means for an animal to be endangered. It asks questions about where to find information on endangered species, what endangered means, examples of endangered and non-endangered animals, how scientists determine if a species is endangered, and ways to help save endangered animals, such as contacting zoos or the government.
This document contains information about various animals organized into categories of mammals, birds, and trout. For each animal, it provides details about where they live, what they eat, and an interesting fact. Some of the animals described include whales, koalas, wolves, sharks, gorillas, ducks, lynx, red squirrels, trout, zebras, and lizards.
Tigers and polar bears are endangered species as they are being hunted and there are few left in the wild. Endangered means that an animal's population is low and threatened due to human activities like hunting or habitat loss. We can help endangered animals by stopping hunting, protecting their habitats, and donating money to conservation efforts.

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.
Optimizing Post Remediation Groundwater Performance with Enhanced Microbiolog...Joshua Orris
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.

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.
Recycling and Disposal on SWM Raymond Einyu pptxRayLetai1
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.
Evolving Lifecycles with High Resolution Site Characterization (HRSC) and 3-D...Joshua Orris
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.

Microbial characterisation and identification, and potability of River Kuywa ...Open Access Research Paper
Water contamination is one of the major causes of water borne diseases worldwide. In Kenya, approximately 43% of people lack access to potable water due to human contamination. River Kuywa water is currently experiencing contamination due to human activities. Its water is widely used for domestic, agricultural, industrial and recreational purposes. This study aimed at characterizing bacteria and fungi in river Kuywa water. Water samples were randomly collected from four sites of the river: site A (Matisi), site B (Ngwelo), site C (Nzoia water pump) and site D (Chalicha), during the dry season (January-March 2018) and wet season (April-July 2018) and were transported to Maseno University Microbiology and plant pathology laboratory for analysis. The characterization and identification of bacteria and fungi were carried out using standard microbiological techniques. Nine bacterial genera and three fungi were identified from Kuywa river water. Clostridium spp., Staphylococcus spp., Enterobacter spp., Streptococcus spp., E. coli, Klebsiella spp., Shigella spp., Proteus spp. and Salmonella spp. Fungi were Fusarium oxysporum, Aspergillus flavus complex and Penicillium species. Wet season recorded highest bacterial and fungal counts (6.61-7.66 and 3.83-6.75cfu/ml) respectively. The results indicated that the river Kuywa water is polluted and therefore unsafe for human consumption before treatment. It is therefore recommended that the communities to ensure that they boil water especially for drinking.

Climate Change All over the World .pptxsairaanwer024
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
