of green computing that helps in business market even. Case Facts 1. Power and cooling costs for data centers have highly risen. 2. The power consumption for cooling the server has negative impact on the environment. 3. The efficient energy of data center is measured in Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE). 4. The lower PUE is better, 1.0 is the desirable target, which traditionally was 2.0, and newly they designed for 1.5 and much better are emerging. 5. PUE is influenced by many

Investigatory Project Pila Conica: A Specie Fighting for its Survival- A Bio-Index Outlook The Pila conica, also known as the native apple snail, grow widely in our wetlands. This was a very good source of protein among farmers before. The presence of its alien counterpart, the Pomacea canaliculata, caused for its rapid extinction. The core purpose of this research is to determine which species has the highest biodiversity in six randomly –selected areas guided by the hypothesis

success story of wild turkey conservation in Ohio. The article (The Wild Turkey, Mike Reynolds) talks about the declining wild turkey population in the early 1900’s. In the 1950’s the Ohio Division of Natural Resources made a large push to reintroduce the wild turkey back into Ohio. With some setbacks by 1966 there was enough of a population to have a turkey hunting season. The article is relevant to our biology class because it has to deal with animals, conservation, and inheritance/genetics

making change to protect this earth that we live on. Roosevelt and the other environmentalist were the stepping stones that bring us to the many changes in conservation laws and environmental protection that took place from 1920-1955. During this time period of 1920-1955 many great acts along with environmental groups were formed allowing conservation laws and environmental protection to take enormous leaps in a positive direction. While fighting many hard battles these conservationist and preservation
