Purpose - A Feasibility Study - to see how different planetary light cycles/ seasonal changes and isolation does to the behavior of 25 humans, plants and animals on the surface of Mars. Duration of experiment 5 Years. **** (Why this project is not feasible at this time--We can’t work/live safely on the surface of mars without getting radiation poisoning, the atmosphere is too thin for us to breathe. It’s consists mostly of carbon dioxide, and temperatures on Mars can dip down to -87 degrees C, and

HOT ROLLING MILL (HRM): Salem steel plant is a special steel unit of the Indian Steel giant. Steel Authority of India Limited (SAIL) pioneered the supply of wider cold rolled stainless steel coils and sheets in India. Phase-1 of the plant was commissioned in 1981 with French technical know-how. The capacity was augmented from the initial 32,000 tons of cold rolled stainless steel sheets and coils to 70000 tons per annum in 1991under Phase-2 expansion. A most modern stainless steel blanking line

earth’s atmosphere. Some think it is part of the earth’s natural cyclical variability and some think it is due to the increase in greenhouse gases which trap heat that would otherwise escape from Earth. However, greenhouse gases, such as water vapour, carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide, are an important part of our atmosphere because they keep Earth from becoming an icy sphere with surface temperatures of about 0°F. However, over the past century or so the amounts of greenhouse gases within our

problems have been caused by industrialization, deforestation and pollution. These issues cause an increase in water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide which traps heat against the Earth’s surface. Carbon dioxide is being poured into the atmosphere faster than plants and oceans can absorb it. These gases persist for years afterward. The Earth’s natural cycle of orbit affects the way sunlight warms and cools every hundred thousand years and is now occurring within every hundred years

extinction of other species through human action is an ethical issue, but there is little doubt about the practical problems that extinction poses (Lindsey, Rebecca .2007). Deforestation also disturbs the carbon cycle and the production of fresh air. Plants, with the help of chloroplast uses Carbon dioxide (CO2), water (H2O) and sunlight to produce glucose (C6H12O6) and Oxygen (O2), the formula

Base on this situation states are hard to complete consensus on the issue of climate change. Some states believe that the fundamental of climate change would be a natural cycle while some countries claim that the human activities contribute to climate change. There are some reports highlight that climate change is a nature phenomenon rather than human activities, which happen in a certain period. It means the human activities

COMPARISON OF PHOTOSYNTHESIS AND SOLAR CELLS 3 The Comparison of Photosynthesis and Solar Cells Photosynthesis is the process in green plants and other organisms by which carbohydrates are synthesized from carbon dioxide and water using light as an energy source. Semi-conductor based solar cells, also known as photovoltaic cells, are a man made device that converts the energy of the sun into electric energy. Both of these systems absorb, and transform the
