1- Waste change the climate of our planet. I also think that all gases coming out from cars, trucks and factories affect the climate and all of that like waste. All these greenhouse gases can be very toxic and affect the environment. I believe that the United Nations is responsible and can play a great role in reducing waste . The U.N should push countries to limit waste by enforcing rules and laws that may protect the climate and the environment. Companies are also concerned with waste and should use production machines that do not pollute the planet.
2- Managing waste is a challenge in many countries. Many nations produce a lot of trash which is not recycled and thrown as waste in the ocean or land. It is essential for these countries to implement initiatives that would reduce waste and protect the environment. I personally try to recycle all the items that can be recycled because I believe that recycling can reduce waste significantly. I believe that if all people start to recycle and reuse their used products and materials, the world will be a cleaner place with less waste and less environmental problems. I also tell my friends and family members about the benefits of recycling and I encourage them to recycle all items that can be recycled
3- Waste is going to be a continued problem especially in the United States because of how dependent Americans are on convience. To many, recycling is too much of a chore and an addition to their already long to-do lists, so thats why they don't participate. Personally, to take away from it being a chore, I placed a 3 bin seperator next to my trashcan for my roommates and me to use for recycling. There is a bin for paper, one for plastic, and one for aluminum. The cardboard goes next to the bin. By doing this, when you go to the trash can to throw something away, the other options are right there and it isn't a chore to do.
4- Recycling is an important way to keep our ecosystem safe and clean, but there are many that believe that its a waste of time. Many of the products that we use are harmful to the environment, and there are some of us that are ignorant about what's safe and what's harmful. I know that it can be a pain to do recycling, but its important. At my home, we have to seperate containers. We have one for trash, and the other for recycling. We dump all our recycling into our specific bins into the garage, and set them outside for the collectors to come. At college however, I threw all my garbage and recycling into one trash can, and when it was time to empty it out, I would sometimes forget to do that. In my last two years though, I was more involved in it after they had put in the recycle bins on each floor. That helped me out plenty, and I knew I was doing the right thing.
5- Waste is a problem that I think is always going to exist in some sense. I think the best thing we can do is simply cut down on our waste. If we recycled more, we would have a lot less waste in landfills. People ar ...

A quick look at what constitutes wet waste from a home and discuss home and community options for treating and managing this waste. This presentation has been made specific to India but same principle applies to any urban/semi-urban set-up.
Waste can be solid, liquid, or gaseous, with the last two often associated with factories. Solid waste includes garbage (including food), furniture, tires, scrap metal, appliances, toys, and many more. A specific solid waste management definition refers to the process of collecting solid wastes and how you treat them.

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.
Micro RNA genes and their likely influence in rice (Oryza sativa L.) dynamic ...Open Access Research Paper
Micro RNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs molecules having approximately 18-25 nucleotides, they are present in both plants and animals genomes. MiRNAs have diverse spatial expression patterns and regulate various developmental metabolisms, stress responses and other physiological processes. The dynamic gene expression playing major roles in phenotypic differences in organisms are believed to be controlled by miRNAs. Mutations in regions of regulatory factors, such as miRNA genes or transcription factors (TF) necessitated by dynamic environmental factors or pathogen infections, have tremendous effects on structure and expression of genes. The resultant novel gene products presents potential explanations for constant evolving desirable traits that have long been bred using conventional means, biotechnology or genetic engineering. Rice grain quality, yield, disease tolerance, climate-resilience and palatability properties are not exceptional to miRN Asmutations effects. There are new insights courtesy of high-throughput sequencing and improved proteomic techniques that organisms’ complexity and adaptations are highly contributed by miRNAs containing regulatory networks. This article aims to expound on how rice miRNAs could be driving evolution of traits and highlight the latest miRNA research progress. Moreover, the review accentuates miRNAs grey areas to be addressed and gives recommendations for further studies.

Diabetes is a rapidly and serious health problem in Pakistan. This chronic condition is associated with serious long-term complications, including higher risk of heart disease and stroke. Aggressive treatment of hypertension and hyperlipideamia can result in a substantial reduction in cardiovascular events in patients with diabetes 1. Consequently pharmacist-led diabetes cardiovascular risk (DCVR) clinics have been established in both primary and secondary care sites in NHS Lothian during the past five years. An audit of the pharmaceutical care delivery at the clinics was conducted in order to evaluate practice and to standardize the pharmacists’ documentation of outcomes. Pharmaceutical care issues (PCI) and patient details were collected both prospectively and retrospectively from three DCVR clinics. The PCI`s were categorized according to a triangularised system consisting of multiple categories. These were ‘checks’, ‘changes’ (‘change in drug therapy process’ and ‘change in drug therapy’), ‘drug therapy problems’ and ‘quality assurance descriptors’ (‘timer perspective’ and ‘degree of change’). A verified medication assessment tool (MAT) for patients with chronic cardiovascular disease was applied to the patients from one of the clinics. The tool was used to quantify PCI`s and pharmacist actions that were centered on implementing or enforcing clinical guideline standards. A database was developed to be used as an assessment tool and to standardize the documentation of achievement of outcomes. Feedback on the audit of the pharmaceutical care delivery and the database was received from the DCVR clinic pharmacist at a focus group meeting.
"Understanding the Carbon Cycle: Processes, Human Impacts, and Strategies for...MMariSelvam4
The carbon cycle is a critical component of Earth's environmental system, governing the movement and transformation of carbon through various reservoirs, including the atmosphere, oceans, soil, and living organisms. This complex cycle involves several key processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, decomposition, and carbon sequestration, each contributing to the regulation of carbon levels on the planet.
Human activities, particularly fossil fuel combustion and deforestation, have significantly altered the natural carbon cycle, leading to increased atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations and driving climate change. Understanding the intricacies of the carbon cycle is essential for assessing the impacts of these changes and developing effective mitigation strategies.
By studying the carbon cycle, scientists can identify carbon sources and sinks, measure carbon fluxes, and predict future trends. This knowledge is crucial for crafting policies aimed at reducing carbon emissions, enhancing carbon storage, and promoting sustainable practices. The carbon cycle's interplay with climate systems, ecosystems, and human activities underscores its importance in maintaining a stable and healthy planet.
In-depth exploration of the carbon cycle reveals the delicate balance required to sustain life and the urgent need to address anthropogenic influences. Through research, education, and policy, we can work towards restoring equilibrium in the carbon cycle and ensuring a sustainable future for generations to come.
1. BE A TREND SETTER
STEP BY STEP TOWARDS A ZERO
WASTE SOCIETY
Following is a simple STEP-BY-STEP plan you can proposeto your Managing
Committee to start the ZERO GARBAGE PROJECT in your housing society.
Step 1-AWARENESS AND EDUCATION: Today, in spite of so much information
available on any subject just by a click of button, there are so many who are still ignorant
on the issue of Waste Management. Perhaps, they have not felt the need of knowing
about this subject. As a first step in launching ZERO GARBAGE PROJECT, residents
need to be made aware of the seriousness of this issue and motivate them to do something
about it. In this regard, you can take a bold step to contactyour housing society office
bearers to call a meeting of society members to bring awareness on ZERO GARBAGE.
Todaylot of material is available in the internet. Besides, regular ads are given on TV.
STEP 2-CIRCULAR TO FAMILIES/FLATS: This circular, preferably signed by the
housing society office bearers can contain the dates to begin the segregation, instructions
to families to keep 2 bins in the kitchen for wet and dry waste, list of wet waste and dry
waste, method/timings of collecting the waste by the housing society workers etc etc.
WET WASTE consists of bio-degradable waste which decomposes easily and can used
as compostfor plants and trees like vegetable waste, fish/meat bones, left out food, used
tea powder, garden waste etc. DRY WASTE is the one which does not decomposeat all,
or takes long time to decompose. This waste consists of materials made up of metal,
plastic, glass, paper, electronic items etc.
STEP 3: PROVIDE 2 BINS: It is a great motivation, if society office bearers use some
society funds to buy 2 waste bins for each household/flat of different colours for wet and
dry waste, and gift it to each family. If society is not ready/willing to gift a set of waste
bins, each family can make their own arrangement to buy two bins. Forcing to buy two
bins of their own money (though it doesn’tcost much) may create some uneasiness
amongst the residents.
STEP 4 – TRIAL SEGREGATION:As initially families may not be well acquainted
with dry and wet waste, there can be a trial segregation for few days. Based on the
circular issued (list of dry and wet waste), the residents may be given a few days, say 1 or
2 weeks for trial segregation. At this stage, the society workers would make doorto door
2. collection of waste in 2 separate bigger bins. The wet waste handed over by each family
is collected in the WET WASTE BIN and all the dry waste of each household is collected
in a big DRY WASTE BIN. After each days collection, the Monitoring Committee can
correct the residents wrongly segregating (mixing dry waste with wet or vice versa), and
improve the quality of segregation.
STEP 5: EVALUATION: The office bearers/Monitoring Committee can have an
evaluation of the response by the residents, and the quality of segregation done by the
families. Results of the evaluation of segregation can be communicated to all the families
with any corrections needed to be done.
STEP 6: FINAL SEGREGATION: At this step another circular can be issued giving the
details on final segregation. At this stage segregation system has to be followed strictly.
The monitoring committee will continue to monitor if the segregation is properly done by
each family.
STEP 7: COMPOSTING PITS/WET WASTEHANDLING: Success in convincing the
residents to segregate the garbage is like half the battle won. If society has some place for
compostpits, the advance planning can be donefor composting of the wet waste. If no
spaceavailable at the society compound, possibility can be explored to start the
composting process onthe building terrace There are professional NGOs like Stree Mukti
Sanghatana who take up this project on contract basis. If for some reasons composting of
wet waste is not possible, the wet waste will go to the BMC vans as usual. At least your
society is succeeded in the first step of segregating the garbage.
STEP 8: DRY WASTE HANDLING: As said in the STEP 4, when all the families
segregate the waste into dry and wet, all the waste collected by the housing workers is
accumulated in two separate big bins at the society premises or on the terrace. The wet
waste goes for compostingpurpose. What is left out is dry waste. Now, after successful
segregation process,the dry waste is free from all kind of smell as smelling items like
veg. waste, fish/meat bones, food waste is already taken out for composting purpose.
Now, the dry waste can be sold to the scrape dealers, or alternatively, society workers
can segregate and pickup the reusable and recyclable items like metals, plastic, papers etc
easily. This can be sold as a scrapeand earn some money. This money can be used as per
the decision made by the Managing Committee. Managing committee can decide to give
a part of the proceeds sold to the society workers as an incentive for their extra work.
This will be a motivation for them to further improve the segregation as better
segregation means more money.
DRY 9: PROPAGATE:Once your society/institution succeeds in starting the ZERO
GARBAGE PROJECT, start publicizing and help your neigbouring societies to follow
suit.
