Water Contaminants from Pharmaceuticals and Chemical Industries

Water Contaminants from Pharmaceuticals and Chemical Industries

Abstract

In industrial processes, the generation of waste waters is unavoidable sometimes. It is therefore important to develop process for decontaminating this water. The treatment of toxic effluent that contains pharmaceutical and industrial chemicals cannot be satisfactorily attained through the use of conventional processes. Advanced oxidation processes (AOP) have been very vital and successful in their application to degrade these toxic compounds found in water. The high generation of extremely powerful oxidizing agent like the hydroxyl radical forms the back bone of the AOPs. This method is capable of destroying organic compounds until ...

Peter Singer’s Position on Factory Farming

Factory farming of animals, also known as concentrated animal feeding operations is the system employed by most food manufacturers to produce the animal products that they trade in. It is a method of farming which involves the production of animals and animal products in large numbers through the use of what is considered an efficient process of feeding and concentration to achieve the fastest growth rates possible.
Peter Singer (2006) argues that this process of food production is morally wrong. According to his view, this presents an abuse of animals to an extent which is greater than the abuse ...

Introduction

There is a growing debate that is happening all over the world today regarding the alarming effect of climate change and levels of warming of the earth’s atmosphere. It is believed that intensely dangerous levels of warming in the overall atmosphere is happening and this is further intended to harm the human beings and species that are living on earth to a great extent. This intense levels of warming of the overall earth’s atmosphere is technically defined as “global warming. Climate is generally defined as the assessment of weather related data and its patterns and trends for ...

Introduction

The world is currently experiencing a rapid pace of globalization. Globalization, in general, offers a more positive than negative set of effects to society. It makes countries more interconnected. The actual advantages of this worldwide phenomenon, in fact, come from the international interconnectivity that it creates.
With a more globalized international marketplace, trade between two or more countries regardless of their geographical location becomes a lot easier. At some point, it may also become cheaper as more and more infrastructure projects get developed in anticipation of the emergence of a world that is so interconnected that countries cannot, especially ...

Abstract

The issues of environmental racism and environmental justice are the two major implications which involve counter response to deliberate human actions of harming that environment which has vicinity of some racially segregated sections of the society. In United States, sources of most harmful toxic wastes from industries and other commercial establishments are dumped close to those low-income neighborhoods like African American, Latin American, and Native Americans Thus, the above-stated phenomenon stands as an example of environmental racism where impact of toxic waste dumps, industrial waste incinerators, chemical drains into rivers, etc. are deliberately channeled towards racially ignored segments like ...

The world today continues to suffer the consequences of environmental pollution. Many people are increasingly becoming conscious about the environment to the extent that they only want to conform to the elements that promote environmental wellbeing. Vehicles are a major cause of environmental degradation. The fumes produced and emitted to the atmosphere by vehicles deplete the Ozone, bringing about the greenhouse effect. Hybrid cars are an option in trying to deal with the problems of environmental degradation. Simply put, hybrid cars use two sources of energy to ensure motion (Anderson, 2010). The two commonly used sources of energy are motors ...

Introduction
Toxin-antitoxin (TA) systems incorporate pervasively in prokaryotic genomes that have also been suggested to perform a role in numerous critical cellular operations (Van, & Bast, 2009). These systems characteristically comprise of a two-gene operon encoding a toxic protein molecule which aims at an important cellular purpose and an antitoxin that connects to and hinders the toxin. Control of toxin action is attained via differential constancy of the stable toxin as well as the unstable antitoxin (Kamada & Hanaoka, 2005). In several occasions, the antitoxin also operates as a transcriptional autorepressor of the operon, whereby the degradation of the antitoxin leads to transcriptional introduction ...

- What behavior did you try to change or initiate? (5%) What was your goal? (5%)
I tried to change the behavior of using paper cup and instead opted to bring my own cup for Starbucks coffee every day.
My goal was to encourage personal responsibility that could not involve me in environmental degradation but rather sustain a clean environment.
- What strategies did you use? (5%) Why do you think the strategies would work? Explain the psychological principles or rationales behind your strategies. (5%)
I used the strategies of carrying my cup to Starbucks for ...

Abstract

The quality of human speech through a communication system is referred to as mean opinion score and forms the basis of the project. It has been utilized as a key benchmark of sound quality over the years, and the need to have an optimal standard has been continuous. It is pertinent to note that GSM networks mainly offer voice services even as data demand has been on the rise. Many operators across around the world operate networks that yield MOS value that is below the standard in some areas. This study will comprehensively elaborate the causes of MOS degradations in some ...

Key Words: Disperse dye, Poly Lactic Acid, Fabric, elongation, tensile strength

Introduction and statement of the problem

The polymerization of lactic acid yields polylactic acid. As such, the raw material used in the manufacture of polylactic acid is lactic acid. Lactic acid is a naturally occurring substance that is produced by living things during metabolism. The use of polylactic acid in the production of fibers for various applications in the textile industry can be traced back to a very useful discovery a few decades ago. The production of biodegradable surgical sutures using polylactic acid set the path clear for more applications of polylactic acid (Ren 98). The good ...

Introduction

Native Americans are the American Indians who live in the United States. When you look at the indigenous people of Americans in a legal perspective, it is evident that they stand unique in the United States legal system. The Native Americans are divided into various tribes which are considered to be politically independent or sovereign nations which exist within the boundaries of the United States. In the early 1990s, the Native Americans tribal governments controlled two percent of the lands in the U.S. the lands are located under the tribal jurisdiction act and are therefore known as Indian country. The ...
