View Resource EFFECTS OF GLOBAL WARMING

The abnormal increase in the concentration of the greenhouse gases is resulting in higher temperatures. We call this effect is global warming. The average temperature around the world has increased about 1'c over 140 years, 75% of this has risen just over the past 30 years. The solar radiation, as it reaches the earth, produces "greenhouse effect" in the atmosphere. The thick atmospheric layers...

View Resource FRAMING GM CROPS AS A SOLUTION FOR GLOBAL FOOD SECURITY

Genetically Modified organisms (GMOs) are a tool of solution in helping to tackle the challenge of global food security for ever growing population. With global population expected to grow by 40% in the next few decades, agriculture will need to become more productive and more sustainable in order to keep pace with rapidly increasing demands. The current biotechnology permits to alter the genetic...

View Resource ASSESSMENT ON SUITABILITY OF NORMALIZING AND PROBABILITY TYPE BENTHIC INDICES FOR PREDICTION OF BEHAVIOR OF INLAND WATER BODY

Natural variability in diversity of benthic macro invertebrate fauna or benthos has become a valuable tool in assessing, modeling and monitoring of water quality of inland water body with respect to its portability and of pollution level. However, inappropriate use of these indices may leads to false interpretation or prediction of behavior of inland water body. In this study we have employed two...

View Resource ADVANTAGES OF GREEN TECHNOLOGY

Technology is application of knowledge to practical requirements. Green technologies encompass various aspects of technology which help us reduce the human impact on the environment and create ways of sustainable development. Social equitability, economic feasibility and sustainability are the key parameters for green technologies. Today the environment is racing towards the tipping point at which...
