6Cow Brain Protein Could Build Better Batteries
and Solar Cell Cow
- Researchers at Stanford are exploring the idea
that clathrin, a protein found in cow brains, can
form nanostructured inorganic material for use in
solar cells and batteries. - Unlike synthetic materials used in energy tech
that require nasty chemicals and high
temperatures to form specific shapes, clathrin
can be tweaked at room temperature and pressure. - If all goes well, next-generation solar panels
may very well contain traces of cow brain.
7Continuous Evolution of Homo Sapients
- Raw food eating habits to Micro wave based
cooking. - Human and animal vehicles to Automobiles.
- Watching a flying bird to flying like a bird at
high speeds. - Manual machines to Electric appliances.
- Living with available seasonal food to eating
anything at any time. - Spending hours on paper note book calculations to
High speed computing note book. -

8Human impact on the environment
- Human impact is called as an anthropogenic
impact. - The term anthropogenic designates an effect or
object resulting from human activity. - The anthropogenic impact on the environment
includes impacts on biophysical environments,
biodiversity and other resources. - The atmospheric scientist Paul Crutzen introduced
the term "anthropocene" in the mid-1970s. - The term is sometimes used in the context of
pollution emissions that are produced as a result
of human activities but applies broadly to all
major human impacts on the environment.
9State of ecosystems, habitats and species
- In the past, human interaction with nature,
enriched the quality and variety of the living
world and its habitats, although having a
disruptive effect on nature. - Today, however, human pressure on natural
environments is greater than before in terms of
magnitude and efficiency in disrupting nature. - The policies pursued in the industry, transport
and energy sectors having a direct and damaging
impact on the nature. - The strong focus of forestry management on
economic targets primarily causes the decline in
biodiversity, soil erosion and other related
effects.
10Manifestations of the degradation
- The clearest manifestations of the degradation of
the natural environment are - Reduction and fragmentation of habitats and
landscapes. - A decreased species diversity, due to reduced
habitable surface area which corresponds to a
reduced "species carrying capacity". - The reduction of the size of habitats also
reduces the genetic diversity of the species
living there. - Loss of Species of Fauna and Flora.

12Earth, Life and Energy
- Life on Earth is driven by energy.
- Autotrophs take it from solar radiation and
create Energy Reservoirs on Earth.
13Creators and Exploiters of Energy Reservoirs
Heterotrophs take it from autotrophs.
14Carbon Cycle With Autotrophs and Somatic
Heterotrophs
15Energy and Human Evolution
- The humans are extrasomatic heterotrophs.
- The ability to use energy extrasomatically
enables human beings to use far more energy than
any other heterotroph that has ever evolved. - The human population modified more and more of
its environment by using extrasomatic energy to
suit human needs. - The world's present population of over 5.5
billion is sustained and continues to grow
through the use of extrasomatic energy. - The human race expanded its resource base so that
for long periods it has exceeded contemporary
requirements.
