quality of the end product and health of the human beings. BioGreen helps the organizations by providing eco-friendly bags to reduce industrial wastes to zero. Our biodegradable bag plays an important role in controlling pollution and improving ecology by eliminating plastics wastes. Huge volume of bags hits the landfill every year, and so replacing all of them with biodegradable bags can be a…

The bending Factor The approach proposed by VAN DE WIEL (2003) considers plants as flexible elements and, therefore, incorporates mechanical aspects in the analysis. In his work, VAN DE WIEL (2003) refers to the study carried out by RAHMEYER et al. (1999), in which mechanical and resistance properties of different plant species were tested. RAHMEYER et al. (1999) stablished a relationship between the force required to bend the plant to an angle of 45 degrees in terms of the plant’s modulus of…

The article Green Human Resource Management: Policies and Practices by Ahmad Shoeb deals with the trend that has currently won on importance in the field of business and politics as well as in the public sphere. This trend is the growing concern with the increased interest in the environmental issues. This has become an immense concern for the organizations since the success of the company is nowadays determined not only by the financial and economic factors but also by the social and…

Ecology or Ecological thinking underlines the interrelationship of the human and natural environments. It has recently been applied to ethical concerns over the human use of resources, and the disposal of by-products and wastes.42 On the other side traditional economic theory assumes no scale limits to the economy. The environment is considered to be part of the larger economic system. Environmental and resource economics are subsets of economics. Agriculture, forests, fisheries, and ecosystem…

RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SPECIES DIVERSITY AND SIZE Effect of Surface Area on the number of species in biodiversity. Yes, there is a relationship between species diversity and size, the smaller the habitat the less diversity of species there will be. Species diversity is the variety of organisms that make up a community It has two components: • SPECIES RICHNESS: is the total number of different species in the area • RELATIVE ABANDANCE: is the proportion each species represents in that certain…

In the literature, different equations are used to calculate the energy requirement for birds (Emmans, 1974, Peguri and Coon, 1988, NRC, 1994, Sakomura et al., 1993, 2006), the factorial model has been the basis for the elaboration from these models, estimating the requirements consider the differences in weights, body composition, potential for growth and production of the animals, as well as the environment. The factorial method is based on the principle that the requirement in energy or…

The symbiosome is a key area of research at present, it is defined as the organ which the organism produces to entrap the microbe internally* (V. Clarke et al 2014). The symbiotic relationship between plants and fungi is an essential one for benefiting fully from Mycorrhizae, which then helps the land plants absorb the essential nutrients such as phosphorus and nitrogen. The interaction between plants and microbes allows for essential functions of the plants such as growth, germination and…

The term sustainability has a range of definitions running into hundreds, making any preliminary definition necessarily highly abstract, but all cluster around the core idea that some system, process, range of welfare, or set of items can be maintained at a certain rate or level for the long term; the ingredients of this formulation and its applications, however, vary widely, as do their disciplinary roots and practical implications. In the context of natural resources, sustainability can be…

Ted Talk Paper The two Ted Talks I chose ended up being very intriguing due to the fact that one of them was given by a scientist and the other by an artist. The first Ted Talk I watched was called “How to Grow Fresh Air” by Kamal Meattle. Meattle explained the importance of fresh air in Delhi, a city plaqued by poor air quality, and provided a solution utilizing three types of green plants. The second Ted Talk I watched was called “Street art with a message of hope and peace” by eL Seed. eL…
