    Abstract A spontaneous, one-pot strategy for the room temperature biosynthesis of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) using Cocos Nucifera Linn (coconut palm) coir extract is described. The formation of AuNPs was observed within 30s of reaction time between the metal precursor and coir extract. The bioextract acted as both reducing agent and a stabilizer. The influence of various experimental parameters such as % volume fraction of coir extract, concentration of metal precursor, contact time and solution…

    species. After examining several different papers, they found that there are several different opposing results stating that invasive plant species have a greater effect on natives and vice versa. One experiment reported “average losses on native plant biomass of 46.609±0.68%” due to the presence of the invasive plant species. Other experiments reported average losses on invasives of “17.69±1.24% due to the presence of natives.” In conclusion their findings back up my predictions that invasives…

    the soil and surrounding area for other organisms. The soil becomes more nitrogen rich creating more habitable environments for even more plants to grow. Other organisms like herbivores and bugs have more plants to feed on due to increased plant biomass, which advertently helps the entire food chain in that ecosystem. Those are just some of the advantages of genetically improving the photosynthetic efficiency of plants, on a small…

    process of desalinating seawater uses a lot of fossil fuel energy, so the cost management becomes very expensive, and it also increases greenhouse gas emissions. However, using renewable energy, which can be classified as solar, wind, photovoltaic, biomass, geothermal, and hydropower, has the potential for reducing the energy costs and greenhouse gas emissions compared to fossil fuels. Fossil fuels are the main energy used in modern industrial societies in many countries, but renewable energy…
