Through public exposure to RF radiation is caused by various sources such as radio,tv broadcast masts,radar operation etc.the one that has caught the attention is the radiation from mobile phones.these operate in the 800-900 &1850-1990 mhz bands respectively.basically rf radiation from mobile phones to public is basically of two types
1-from the base station
2-mobile phones
Exposure from base station:a base station consists of a lower generally mounted on a building at heights between 15 to 30 meters.the tower consists 3diamensional antenna separated by 120 degrees by each other.the rf beam radiating from an antenna is narrow in the plate of elevation,with typical widths between 5&10 degrees.most base stations radiate about 20-40 watts.
Since base station are located in population area,persons living in the path of the beam are exposued to beam continuously.
Exposure from mobile phones:mobile phones consists of a radio transmitter,receiver&antenna through which it transmit&receive signals.the user of mobile phone is exposed toRF fields higher than the base station.it is because,a mobile phones radiates only about 2-3 watts at peak,it is held very close to head.so it gives high radiation to whole body to the user.

New and exotic destinations away from the hustle-bustle of touristy spots have emerged in recent years. They are holding out an irresistible appeal for an out-of-the-ordinary travel experience. A look at the best places in India for your year-end vacation.

Sea slug dwells in the marshy areas of New England and Canada. It seems to be partly an animal and partly a plant. Sidney Pierce, a biologist at the University of South Florida in Tampa, had been studying this unique creature for 20 years. Sea Slug is officially called as Elysia chlorotica. He showed his research about this distinguished organism at the Annual Meeting of the Society of Integrative and Comparative Biology in Seattle. This is the first time when the multi cellular animals have been able to produce chlorophyll. They steal the genes which are required to make the green pigment called chlorophyll. With the help of the genes, the slugs can carry out the process of photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is the process of the conversion of sunlight to energy. The genes minted from the algae make the green pigment called chlorophyll. They too steel tiny cell parts called chloroplast which in turn use chlorophyll to convert light energy to sunlight. The same procedure is conducted by plants.

He collected them in aquaria for months. They found that as long as they shine a light on them (around 12 hours), they can survive without food. The researchers used the radioactive tracer to confirm themselves that they are actually producing chlorophyll themselves. They are able to adapt to the stolen genes very well, that they pass it to the other generations too. Their babies have the ability to produce their own chlorophyll, but they can’t conduct photosynthesis until they have not eaten enough algae. The scientists are not sure how the slugs are able to accommodate the genes. There is a possibility that the DNA from one species are passed onto the other generations. But it is not yet been confirmed.

Dolphins are the mammals which reside in big water bodies. They are perhaps turning out to be smarter and be treated like non- human beings. They are eligible to be thought as other intelligent species. They are among several animals that use tools. According to the recent survey, they can do much more which no one has even thought of. They are capable of naming themselves and they too recognize easily in the mirror. They behave socially like human beings. They even think about their future. They are able to learn basic symbol-based language. If a dolphin is taught to tail- walk in captivity, they will spread the trick to other dolphins. They too think. According to the scientists, the dolphins can be identified as the non-human persons. They have moral values.

INNOVATION, EFFICIENCY & SOLUTIONS

Our mechanized society cannot function without lubricants. The dilemma is oil is both necessary for our life-style and potentially destructive to nature. Quite simply, we must select innovative, efficient products that will help solve our pollution problems.

The introduction of synthetic motor oil in 1972 set all new standards for motor oil quality. They are specially designed to protect engine components, reduce emissions, last longer, reduce fuel consumption and prevent environmental pollution. From the beginning, synthetic motor oils have out-performed conventional petroleum motor oils on all counts.

Synthetic oils, resist chemical breakdown and sludging which keeps engines cleaner. They have been specifically designed not to oxidize, volatilize or shear back, resulting in a motor oil that lasts longer than conventional petroleum motor oils. While petroleum motor oil manufacturers recommend oil changes every 3,000 miles, AMSOIL synthetic motor oils protect engine components up to 35,000 miles or 1 year, dramatically extending oil change intervals.

The successor of infamous Kyoto protocol should be only couple of months away but the world still can’t agree on what are required cuts in greenhouse gases to fight against climate change. The more closer we are to this new climate deal the more likely it looks like that we won’t see drastic cuts in greenhouse gas emissions because rich countries are still highly reluctant to accept major CO2 cuts.

Many estimates and different climate models suggest how world should make a greenhouse gases cut of 25-40 per cent to give the world a chance of avoiding a lethal 2 degree temperature rise – that many experts see as trigger for serious climate changes that will lead the world into a real environmental disaster.

By the current looks of it rich countries are not prepared to go beyond 15 % cuts which will not be enough to stop climate change impact. Such low targets give virtually no chance of halting warming to 2 degrees Celsius, and climate change impact could grow much bigger in years to come causing many endangered animals, severe water shortages, extreme weather events, flooding and droughts.

But politics still doesn’t look worried. Politicians care more about how to revive economy and their industries than how to tackle climate change. If nothing changes in next few months the new climate deal will be even bigger failure than its predecessor Kyoto protocol.

Cabbage is one of the oldest vegetable grown in the world. It is a green leafy vegetable. It is a flowering plant distinguished by the by the short stem with the crowded mass of leaves usually green but in some varieties it may appear red and purple. They are a good source of riboflavin. They often show the soft, waxy coating called bloom. It mainly requires cool moist weather for it cultivation.

Cabbage works to protect the human body from free radicals that can damage the cell membranes. It also signals our genes to increase its production of enzymes involved in detoxification. It lowers the occurrence of lung, stomach and colon prostate cancer. It is a muscle builder, blood cleanser and eye strengthener. To heal stomach ulcer, the juice of fresh raw cabbage is known to be beneficial. It is also effective in treating fungal infection. It is also rich in iron and sulphur. It contains a substance that can increase the production of the anti-oxidant and detoxification enzymes. Red cabbage has more substance than the green cabbage. The Vitamin C content of red cabbage is 6-8 times higher than that of the green cabbage. It contain anthocyanin (red/pigment color) is an anti-oxidant that can help protect the brain cells, thus help in the prevention of the Alzheimer’s.

On 12 January the Haiti was struck by an earthquake. Haiti is a Caribbean country. The destruction was intense. The death toll continues to rise and around 3 million people are struggling with the widespread destruction. The people are looking for the support. Its epicenter was near the town of Leogane. The earthquake caused major damage to Port-au-Prince, Jacmel and other settlements in the region. Many notable landmark buildings were significantly damaged. Communications were widely disrupted, thus making it impossible to get a full picture of damage as powerful earthquake shook a desperately poor country where many buildings are flimsy. Electricity was out in some places. The buildings collapsed. One could see the number of bodies spread on the street. There had been a serious loss of life. It is the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere.

The nanotube technology is developing at the fast rate and this technique includes methods which are eco friendly. This method consumes global warming causing gas that is carbon dioxide. It produces useful fuel as the bio-product. The device was first created at Pennsylvania State University. It is a useful method which uses titanium dioxide nanoparticles and ultraviolet light to convert CO2. This will form the TiO2 into nanotubes that are around 135nm wide and 40 microns long–that gives the resulting compound a dramatically increased surface area. The nanotubes are then coated with catalytic copper and platinum to increase the effectiveness of the system. Then the groups of nanotubes are exposed to sunlight, carbon dioxide and the water vapor, the solar energy then converts these gases into the mixture of organic compounds like methane, ethane and propane. The process proceeds at the faster rate at as 160 micro liters an hour per gram of nanotubes, and that’s twenty times faster than previous attempts to convert CO2 in this manner.

At a certain point in the conversion, the gasses form a mixture of hydrogen and carbon monoxide that can be converted into diesel. Finally, the device can eat carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and turn it into useful fuel. This fuel can be used to drive the methane-powered fuel cells or conventionally-powered diesel vehicles. The carbon dioxide is returned back to the atmosphere, but this can be used to reduce dependence on the fossil fuel which are depleting with their increased use. The nanotube production can be achieved easily and results in the safer and eco friendly manner.

Antarctica is also feeling the global warming heat just like the other continents.

Antarctic peninsula is in critical state because of global warming.

Western parts of the Antarctica are the ones melting at the fastest pace.

Eastern areas of Antarctica are not affected in such measure with global warming like western parts of the Antarctica.

Most global warming studies on Antarctica include data from Antarctica peninsula only because of many weather stations located in this area.

Increased temperatures are more expressed on Arctic than on Antarctica but Antarctica is also feeling the global warming heat.

There are some parts of Antarctica that are even cooling despite the global warming phenomenon but overall Antarctica is warming.

With more ice melting on Antarctica there is greater danger of significant sea level rise in years to come.

If global warming continues to strengthen its impact many animal species on Antarctica, including penguins could face extinction.

Antarctic Peninsula had tremendous increase in annual average temperature at about 2,5 °C in the last 50 years, which is three times more than world’s average.

Ice is Antarctica is thick in average about 1,6 kilometers (1 mile) but it is still melting rapidly.

Global warming is not the only problem in Antarctica, there is also one giant ozone hole that continues to grow.

Fossil fuels are nonrenewable source of energy. Which are depleting at a faster rate due to incresed demands and its lavish uasge. We are burning petrol, diesel, liquified petrolium gas(LPG) and kerosine as a source of energy for our many works. Mainly we are using it for automobiles. As we all know these automobiles are the integarted parts of our life. We cant immidiately stop using these automobiles. But we can save fuel by inculcating follwoing easier methods to save this precious fuel.

Maintain right air pressure for tyres
Keeping your tyres inflated is one of the easiest and most important things. Saving petrol means saving money one can do to improve fuel economy. If a range is recommended by the manufacturer, the higher pressure should be used to maximize fuel efficiency. Deflated tyres run hot and jeopardize safety. It will also cause the tyres to wear out prematurely, affect the vehicles adversely, and hurt the fuel economy by increasing the rolling resistance. Tyres lose about 1 psi pressure per month due to air loss caused by the tyre hitting holes, bumps and kerbs. Therefore, the tyres should be checked at least once a month. Just 1 tyre deflated by 2 psi will result in a 1% increase in fuel consumption.

Drive at moderate speed
Avoiding high speeds on open roads resultsin safer driving and better fuel economy. In highway driving, over 50% of the power produced by the engine is used to overcome erodynamic drag. Drag and thus fuel consumption increases rapidly at speeds above 90km/h. On the average, a car uses about 15% more fuel at 100km/h, and 25% more fuel at 110km/h compared to when it is doing only 90km/h.
However, this should not lead one to conclude that the lower the speed, the better the fuel economy – because it is not. The fuel consumption of an average car increases sharply at speeds below 50km/h.

Clean the air-filter regularly
Clogged air filters increase fuel consumption by restricting airflow to the engine, and thus should be cleaned/replaced when necessary. Clogged air filters can increase fuel consumption by up to 10%.

Use thinner tyres
Tyres with thick width will improve the handling of your car. However, it will also increase your car’s fuel consumption. Thicker tyres mean more rolling resistance! , and thus will consume more fuel.

Start up the car properly
With today’s cars, it is not necessary to prime the engine first by pumping the accelerator pedal repeatedly.Do not crank the engine excessively This only wastes fuel.When starting the engine, idle it no more than 30 seconds to warm it up. An engine will warm up faster on the road. However, avoid sudden acceleration before the engine has warmed up sufficiently.

Drive in high gear (overdrive)
The engine runs most efficiently between around 1,500 and 2,500 rpm. To maintain these low revs you should change up through the gears as soon as practical and before the revs reach 2500 rpm.For automatic transmission cars, you should always switch on your overdrive to help save fuel. Overdrive will allow your engine to change gears at lower revs. It also puts your transmission into an “economy” mode and lets it engage the final “overdrive” gear when cruising to ! keep the rpms extra low, thereby increasing fuel economy.

Dont overload
Avoid carrying any unnecessary weight in your car. On the average, every 50kg added load in your car will increase fuel consumption by 2%.

Anticipate traffic ahead
A driver can reduce fuel consumption by up to 10% by anticipating traffic conditions ahead and adjusting the speed accordingly, and avoiding tailgating and thus unnecessary braking and acceleration.
Accelerations and decelerations waste fuel. Braking and abrupt stops can be minimized by not following too closely and slowing down gradually when approaching a red light. It takes up to six times as much fuel to move a car from a dead stop than it does for one moving at just a few km/h.

Avoid strong acceleration
The fuel consumption remains at a minimum during steady driving at a moderate speed of about 90km/h. Keep in mind that every time the accelerator is hard pressed, t! he engine goes into a “fuel-enrichment” mode of operation that wastes fuel.The vehicle should always be gradually and smoothly accelerated. Using cruise control on highways can help maintain a constant speed and reduce fuel consumption.

Minimise aerodynamic drag
Additional parts on the exterior of a vehicle such as roof racks and spoilers, or having the window open, Roof racks are bad for fuel economy increases air resistance and fuel consumption, in some cases by over 20%.

Don’t let your engine idle
Minimize fuel wasted in idling by stopping the engine whenever your car is stopped or held up for an extended period of time. Idling more than a minute consumes much more fuel than restarting the engine. By having the engine switched off, you will save more fuel than is lost from the burst of fuel involved in restarting the engine. The net increased wear and tear from this practice is negligible.

Use the air-con sparingly
Air conditioners can use about 10 per cent extra fuel when operating. However, at speeds of over 80 km/h, use of air conditioning is better for fuel economy than an open window

SAVE FUEL MEANS SAVE MONEY AND OUR PLANET FROM GLOBAL WARMING.

As the days are runing day by day and new are coming to hear that world is going to finish in nearby 2-years . which is a very short period for the world to keep himself  safe from the Ending.

Can we will die / we will be safe from danger or coliason of the world if answer is Yes then how we will be safe or if the answer is no then why not. then what the govt. is doing it’s govt.’s duty to save the citizens from any nature act.

Why we are facing this Problem because we created it for ourselves ,we created so many technologies for our lives but totally ignored the nature, then who is going to pay for all of this it’s who  we have to pay for all of this act.

Nature is not going to forgive us for our unnecessary acts / crime which we did with our beloved mother nature and with it’s wild nature too, they are homeless , helpless can’t do anything to protect themselves or can’t keep themselves safe from humans.

we love our childerens our faimly but when it comes to nature or about the wild nature talk we keep mum some says yes we have to do somthing to save the wild nature wild are the species who lives in jungle like elephants , bears , snakes , birds , we can do a lot of for thier help make them safe from killing or cutting trees and planting more trees and plants making this earth greener then before then here will be a life a beautifull life then i think our nature could forgive us from our sin / crime .

we are the sinner who sins all of this god is also looking towards us to help us to save this earth from destroying act he is so good he will definetaly forgive all of us and his the only one who can save us but we have to promise that we will never going to fight with the nature in future and we will do our best to serve the nature and it’s wildlife we will take care for our curious act in near future .

Plants can be protected from the effects of acid rain by knowing the calcium mechanism of plant.Acid rain damages the calcium balance of plant which affects plant’s growth badly.We know that plant needs calcium very much, calcium enters in plants with water from the roots and make plants strong by reaching its plant cells.

Its a true fact that the amount of calcium increases and decreases during the day and during night its amount becomes very low.According to a report, to find the level of water and calcium , a technique ‘Molecular sensor‘ is used.

to acid rain, plants can not grow properly because acid damages calcium deposits in the soil.According to scientists,By activating the sensor, new plant cells can be formed so that plants would be able to make their progressive growth properly.

The Hot Topic nowadays the severe dip of recession hit at Dubai which was considered to be the dream land city for the tall buildings.The Dubai Government said in the recent news that they will not make any guarantee to their bank payers about the debt of the money they have to pay back as their premium interest.

But the Government consoles their creditors in a way that they will pay back their amount they invested on landmarks once their market start to boom.The stock market also been worsly hit after the recession made its way to Dubai.Approximately 7.5% of stock market in Dubai fell sharply after the recession.

But the impact of Dubai market have shown a negative direction to Internation stock markets which means many countries have to suffer jobless,poverty economy once again.But as an Indian we have to be proud because India is one among the few countries which escaped from the recession due to U.A.E.Dubai borrowed billions over the for many years to fuel an extravagant construction boom in various cities to enhance their economy in construction sectors.

But the emirates was strongly defeated under the hands of economical despite and investors are concerned about the possible fallout of Dubai World .While some of the major banks in the US were believed in a fact that they have to make little exposure, while the ripple effect would allowed to make more crippling.

Thanks.

Common problem in all the metros in fact all over India is increased traffic, pollution, and overcrowded public transport system according to survey’s it is estimated that 70% of mumbai cars a single passenger and this comes to around whooping 15 lakh empty seats on the road daily this is huge loss to economy if carpooling was implemented in at least even 30% of those cars it is calculated that 20% of the city traffic would have been reduced this is really impressive figure.

Though Carpooling is not a new concept was started in 70’s in western countries but carpooling is a new concept and unknown to most of them in India.So what exactly is car pooling?
Carpooling is to share a car by driver with two or more passenger usually for commuting who is from same source and want to travel to same destination on regular basis.

Carpooling can also be done by casual commuters say if a two person are in same neighborhood and wants to reach airport at same time or if two or more persons from same area wants to visit a airshow in nearby city etc, they can carpool there are various websites who are offering this service for free and maintain a synchronized check list, some countries even introduced HOV (high occupancy vehicle) Lanes to encourage carpooling and fight against traffic congestion.

Carpooling also has certain advantages such as reduces green house gas emission, reduce driving stress, decreases pollution and global warming, conserves fuel and economy, reduces traffic, saves parking space and much more.With many advantages carpooling comes with few in flexibilities such as poolers may some time have different work timings and if poolers wants to en route if they have some work in other location it might be a problem for fellow poolers.

Some of the few websites of carpooling in India
http://www.carpooling.in/
http://www.commuteeasy.com/

Though with few disadvantages car pooling can really be good option for casual pooling such as week-end, trips and vacations and for regular pooling in metros who knows one day carpooling might become a favorite alternative among the people and government may bring rule not to drive a car without passenger.

Thanks
