Urea is formed in the body from ammonia that comes from deamination of amino acids it permeates throngh the entire body except the brain. Excreted urea can be used as a nitrogen source by microbes, plants, and animals. Creatinine is the nitrogenous waste product of muscle creatine phosphorylated creatine (also called phosphageri) is an energy source alternative to ATP (see Section 3.9). Diadrast is the commercial name for iodopyracet, an iodinated dye used to determine kidney function it has the property that a very high proportion is filtered and excreted from the kidney in a very short time. Hippurate is a salt of hippuric acid, and is used as a test of liver function. 

The term alternative fuel refers to any fuel that can be used in the current combustion engines without altering the design of the engine. With the effect of air pollution and due to lack and increasing in the cost of petroleum products, it becomes an important to explore an alternative fuel that could substitute petroleum- based fuel in all combustion engines. There are various new energy sources (alternative fuels), which could be classified as mixture... 

When we wrote a previous study (Mather and Wilson, 2006) on the use of textiles in solar electricity conversion, there was a continuing concern about the worldwide dependence on oil as our prime energy source. Alternative fuels each had their promoters and detractors, from both environmental and economic considerations. This outlook has not changed, and the situation may have deteriorated further with political challenges to the assured supply of gas and oil. Therefore, some countries have revisited their shale-based reserves, which are certainly immense but raise issues about environmentally safe extraction. In addition, this fuel would add to atmospheric carbon emissions, which show little sign of being reduced in the near future.

The neutrons in a research reactor can be used for many types of scientific studies, including basic physics, radiological effects, fundamental biology, analysis of trace elements, material damage, and treatment of disease. Neutrons can also be dedicated to the production of nuclear weapons materials such as plutonium-239 from uranium-238 and tritium, H, from lithium-6. Alternatively, neutrons can be used to produce radioisotopes for medical diagnosis and treatment, for gamma irradiation sources, or for heat energy sources in space. 

The commercial production of shale oil as an alternative energy source has not been economically feasible. As of 1995, all commercial oil shale operations in the world (Petrobras, Bra2il PAMA, Israel The Chinese Petroleum Corporation, Fushun and Maoming, China KivioH Oil Shale Processing Plant, Kohda-Jarve, Estonia) receive some sort of economic incentives or assistance from the countries in which they are operating.

Owing to diminishing fossil fuel reserves, alternative energy sources need to be renewable, sustainable, efficient, cost-effective, convenient and safe.1 In recent decades, microbial production of ethanol has been considered as an alternative fuel for the future because fossil fuels are depleting. Several microorganisms, including Clostridium sp. and yeast, the well-known ethanol producers Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Zymomonas mobilis, are suitable candidates to produce ethanol.2,3...
