A study of carbon sequestrating pathways in microorganism for the removal of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere[ ]


Climate has a major influence on life that is existing on the earth. Change in climate can have dominant effects on the types of soil and the vegetation that is growing on them. Humans are more dependent on this vegetation as there are the essential sources for the food production, health, and comfort. Humans are the major reason for the transformation of the environ-ment, which in turn results in the climatic change. Carbon dioxide removal (CDR) can primarily be done by better land man-agement techniques like planting forests, grasses, crops.

Evolution of Delhi Architecture and Urban Settlement[ ]


Delhi remains one of the oldest surviving cities in the world today. It is in fact, an amalgam of eight cities, each built in a different era on a different site – each era leaving its mark, and adding character to it – and each ruler leaving a personal layer of architectural identity. It has evolved into a culturally secular city – absorbing different religions, diverse cultures, both foreign and indigenous, and yet functioning as one organic.
