Abstract

The field of Nanoscience has evolved due to the other advancements in the other fields of study such as the Nanotechnology. While the latter is a subset of the former, there is credible evidence that points to the fact that Nanotechnology has been developed thanks to various areas such as biology, material science, engineering physics, chemistry and much more. It is the foundation on which the Magnetic Nanoparticles have been embedded. MNP is nanoparticle that has the magnetic manipulation ability. Thus, this paper focuses on the study of the Magnetic Nanoparticles especially how they are formed or synthesized and ...

Data-driven marketing strategies have overtaken the traditional mass marketing strategies. Business entities are increasingly using data not only in market segmentation but also in the determination of what products to produce, how to market the products, and how to price them. As a consequence, the currently applicable marketing strategies are considered to be more fluid, and there is the need for marketers and business professionals to increasingly consider value creation in marketing strategies that they employ (The Nielsen Company, 2015). In light of this understanding, this paper presents marketing segmentation, and value proposition for a recommended retail shopping bag ...

Introduction

Mega-Events such as the World Cups and Olympics are so huge that it requires almost creating a temporary city for the massive event, with power, toilets, waste, water, and transport, among a host of other things. Such an event is inherently environmentally unsustainable, as it produces masses of waste and consumes unnecessary resources. While having no event is the most environmentally friendly event, there are many reasons countries hold why mega-events. However, it is beyond a doubt that those conducting the event have a social and environmental responsibility to reduce their impacts. This is true for all events, whether ...

There has been increasing awareness of the role of waste in the production of greenhouse gas emissions and its impacts on climate change. Diminishing natural resources has led to the recognition that what is discarded as waste has the potential to be reused as resources. Governmental legislation on prohibiting toxic materials and prevention and control of the volume of waste has helped in decreasing adverse environmental effects. There is a growing public awareness about waste prevention and its beneficial effects. The society has to replace the linear model of extract-produce-consume-dispose to closed Loop's approach of resource recovery and waste ...

Groundwater contamination by toxic metals and organic compounds is a serious environmental and public health problem (Crini 39). Many of the common contaminants in wastewater are known to be toxic or carcinogenic. Common groundwater contaminants include heavy metal ions, aromatic compounds, and dyes. Additionally, heavy metals are not biodegradable and tend to bioaccumulate, leading to various diseases and disorders. Mercury and cadmium are among the most toxic metals and are very damaging to the environment. Additionally, chromium (VI) is a wide-spectrum toxin, as it is toxic to bacteria, plants, animals, and humans. Organic compounds in groundwater are ...

Peers’ Comments

Comments from the group discussions had an impact on the development of the proposal. Kristin Ball Kristina Ball thought that the proposal was too broad and suggested scaling it down to a local renewable energy project within the locality since renewable energy on a wide scope such as a country is a huge undertaking. Also, she thought of addressing Shared Renewable in a ...

Proposal Discussion

The original project idea has not improved much except for the incorporation of some ideas borrowed from the feedback received from other class members. One of such ideas is the proposal to design two different waste containers: one for storing degradable wastes and another for storing non-biodegradable waste. Every household in the area targeted by the project will be given the two containers and the members of the household informed of what kind of waste to put in each one of the containers. Besides, every household will be issued with a list of wastes classified into biodegradable and non-biodegradable. ...

Summary

In the world and over, there has been rapid industrialization coupled with quick growth and urbanization. These aspects have significantly posed different challenges not only related to the allocation of powers, as well as, resources but also those that have a close relationship with the natural environment. Besides, there has been a reduction in the gap existing between the urban and the rural setups, changing patterns of consumption and an increasingly growing population. A significant challenge that arises because of the problems above is that of waste management. It is on this basis that the proposal below will present ...

The issue of the pollution of the environment has been an issue that has always been addressed in different forums. This is mainly due to the fact that the continuous pollution makes the world less inhabitable for man. Pollution may be on different components of the earth; from water, to air to the ground itself. Various mechanisms have been developed as a way of ensuring that we are able to conserve the environment (Shaw 14). These may include measures like ensuring that the citizens use biodegradable products in order to prevent the instances of soil pollution, or ensuring that ...

Which is a better choice at the grocery store: paper bag? Plastic bag? Or tissue bag? Explain your answer.The best choice at the grocery store is to bring a used bag. Paper bags, plastic bags, and tissue bags all have individual issues associated with their use. Paper bags come from a renewable source, and are biodegradable. Despite this, they require more energy to make and are less likely to be reused. Plastic bags are not biodegradable but consume less energy to be made than paper or tissue bags. Tissue bags are the highest energy consumptive option, but are more ...

Lignin Chemistry

Lignin History Lignin is a plant-derived biopolymer with several applications. It is considered an effective alternative to chemically synthesized plastics that pose serious environmental problems during manufacture and disposal. Lignin is often obtained as a byproduct in paper and pulp manufacture. Lignin has to be dissolved to obtain cellulose from wood. In 1838, Anselme Payen discovered that wood contained cellulose, and oxidizable coatings (later called lignin) that bind the cellulose together (McCarthy and Islam, 2000). This coating material could be removed from wood after acid treatment and washing with an aqueous alkali solution (McCarthy and Islam, 2000). Later, several ...

Abstract- Literature 1

Edible oil refinement is one of the major problems faced by the developing countries across the world as edible oil effluents are a major source of environmental pollution. Owing to this, it is essential to ensure that the effluents are treated prior to its disposal. The composition, characteristics and quantity of the waste water generated depends on the operating conditions and processes followed and can vary from different organizations in the same industry. An investigative method comprising of an in-depth study of unit operations, monitoring, measurement and analysis of parameters affecting environment, and performance evaluation of utilities and pollution ...

Research Rationale

Although the recovery of energy from wastes is not a new idea, its implementation continues to be challenging in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). Also, as a result of economic development, increasing population, and industrialization, the problems arising from expanded consumption and reduced resources have become more serious than ever (Tõnissoo, 2012). This paper provides a proposal for using recyclable waste as a transport fuel in the kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The rationale for this proposal is that if wastes are used to generate fuel for transport, there will be many advantages accrued from such a venture. ...

Abstract

In most parts of the Arab countries, the limited resources of water pose adverse constraints to both the social and economic development, while also threatening the people’s livelihood. The available surface water keeps on declining, and the ground water over-pumping that goes beyond the natural recharge rates has continued to cause great negative impact in the lowering of water table. Over-pumping of ground water also increases ground water salinity, ground water depletion, and ecological degradation (SCENR 5). The outcome prompted the Qatar government to start regulating its water resources as a measure ...

Abstract

Maintaining a highly effective waste management system is an important part of being a clean and green city. While this may not be the top priority for some countries, especially the developing ones—because keeping a clean and green city can be costly; there are countries that are making long term investments for a more effective waste management system in the future. This can be evidenced by the fact that even countries like Qatar and the city of Dubai are finding it hard to find the political and economic will to develop and enforce environmental law and regulations. If ...
