Isolation of AOXI promoter
... We have decided to create a biological timer. This idea was spurred by observing some of the previously created projects, which included biological clocks. Building on this idea, we want to very precisely monitor the time between when an organism begins to feed upon until it finishes feeding on a fo ...

Comparison study on disinfectant efficiency of ethanol
... Before the experiment, in order to determine the initial cell concentration, for both kinds of culture, spread plating (Adam Driks, 2002) was performed on dilutions 10-4-10-6. After that, all the plates were incubated in an incubator for 24h at 37 oC and counted by colonies for numeration. Disinfect ...

Module 4 - Alcohol and the Breathalyzer™ Test
... When a person exhales into a breath analyzer such as the Breathalyzer™ tube, the exhaled alcohol reacts with compounds in the Breathalyzer™ chamber to produce a change in color from orange to green. The chemical reaction indicated by the color change involves oxidation and reduction. Silver nitrate ...

Indirect land use change impacts of biofuels
The indirect land use change impacts of biofuels, also known as ILUC, relates to the unintended consequence of releasing more carbon emissions due to land-use changes around the world induced by the expansion of croplands for ethanol or biodiesel production in response to the increased global demand for biofuels.As farmers worldwide respond to higher crop prices in order to maintain the global food supply-and-demand balance, pristine lands are cleared to replace the food crops that were diverted elsewhere to biofuels' production. Because natural lands, such as rainforests and grasslands, store carbon in their soil and biomass as plants grow each year, clearance of wilderness for new farms translates to a net increase in greenhouse gas emissions. Due to this change in the carbon stock of the soil and the biomass, indirect land use change has consequences in the GHG balance of a biofuel.Other authors have also argued that indirect land use changes produce other significant social and environmental impacts, affecting biodiversity, water quality, food prices and supply, land tenure, worker migration, and community and cultural stability.
