Why did nature waste an ATP in glutamine biosynthesis The lone pair of electrons on an ammonia could have attacked the y-carbonyl group of a glutamate. Subsequent elimination of an oxide ion and release of a-proton from the nitrogen would produce a glutamine without the consumption of an ATP. [Pg.507]

Figure 13.4b emphasizes the finite nature and strong irreversibility of an economic system. The stock of energy and resources will eventually run out and so will the absorptive capacity of the environment for waste. An obvious extension of Figure 13.4b, therefore, is the one represented by Figure 13.4c. Just like in nature, waste has to be recycled. In nature, there is no real waste. Every form of waste is a resource for a living system. This living system is very small and called a microbe. Microbes make sure that all matter recycles in nature. Man needs to assume this humble but valuable and important role of microbes in the economic system and make sure that the material cycles get closed. Therefore, energy (or rather work) is required. But obviously this work should not be supplied from a nonrenewable source, like fossil fuels, but rather from a renewable source like the sun. Figure 13.4c therefore seems to be characteristic for a sustainable economic system and agrees remarkably with the definition of sustainability from biological systems A...

Hand creams are formulated to carry out a variety of cosmetic functions. Among these are softening the skin and preventing dryness elimination of natural waste products (oils) by emulsification cooling the skin by radiation thus helping to maintain body temperature. [Pg.413]

Replacement Cost (RC) Services could be replaced with man-made systems natural waste treatment can be replaced with costly treatment systems. [Pg.254]

There is a growing recognition that much of the radioactive waste at DOE sites co-exists with hazardous waste that is primarily organic in nature. Waste that contains both radioactive and RCRA-deflned hazardous components is classified as mixed waste. This type of waste is subject to both RCRA and DOE/NRC control, whichever is the more stringent. [Pg.11]

Two plant oil sources, namely olive pomace and olive pomace oil were selected by our research team because of their content in athero-protective substances (such as PAF inhibitors) and phenolic/polyphenolic molecules (Karantonis et al., 2008), null cost since they are natural wastes of olive oil production, and fatty acid profile, which makes them likely candidates to partially substitute fish oil in compounded fish feeds. The reference diet (fish oil diet) contained 100% fish oil (cod liver oil) and its chemical composition is shown in Table 1, while the two experimental diets olive pomace and olive pomace oil diet were compounded by substituting 8% of fish oil of reference diet, respectively (Nasopoulou et al., 2011). [Pg.292]

Similar to Si, P as orthophosphate may be detected after derivatization with Sb(III) and Mo(VI) of the ternary heteropoly acid which is adsorbed onto the DME (detection limit being 5x10 mol 1 ). Phosphorus determination, like nitrite and nitrate determinations, is of importance for the evaluation of natural, waste, and potable water quality. [Pg.3752]

The first consideration should be waste minimization. This might involve a change in the process to eliminate the waste, recycle of a matericil previously wasted, recovery of a valuable or reusable component, reuse of wash liquors, or improved washing of a cake to reduce its hazardous nature. Waste minimization offers the following ... [Pg.149]

PLA can be made with starchy biomass and other natural waste products. The production of PLA from starchy substrates can yield a range of lactic acid production. Table 10.2 provides a list of starch and lignocellulosic substrates for the production of lactic acid (John et al. 2008). [Pg.253]

At no time during the war did the determination of requirements develop into an exact science. There was the ever present risk of sudden and unforeseen demands upon the supply system and only the rash and unorthodox supply officer would postulate that there would be no military reversals, no sudden changes in tactics or strategy, no initiation of gas warfare. Gentlemen of what might be called the "old school of supply planners tended to favor the maximum production and issue of every item needed. War, they felt, was by its very nature wasteful and the fortunes of war should not be jeopardized by possible shortages of any kind. The "Supply Control school of planners, on the other hand, stressed the... [Pg.305]

Fritz has compared the germination of tomatoes in biodegradable pots with conventional non-biodegradable polystyrene pots in greenhouses (Table 17.12). It is not entirely clear why some of the bio-based materials appear to inhibit germination. This could be the result of more rapid depletion of nitrogen in the soil, which has been shown to be associated with some natural wastes but it could also result from more rapid evaporation of water through the more permeable containers. These are elearly factors that have to be considered in the choice of the most acceptable materials for seed and plant pots. [Pg.461]
