Answer:
Climate change is rapidly becoming known as a tangible issue that must be addressed to avoid major environmental consequences in the future. Recent change in public opinion has been caused by the physical signs of climate change–melting glaciers, rising sea levels, more severe storm and drought events, and hotter average global temperatures annually. Transportation is a major contributor of carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gas emissions from human activity, accounting for approximately 14 percent of total anthropogenic emissions globally and about 27 percent in the U.S.
Fortunately, transportation technologies and strategies are emerging that can help to meet the climate challenge. These include automotive and fuel technologies, intelligent transportation systems (ITS), and mobility management strategies that can reduce the demand for private vehicles. While the climate change benefits of innovative engine and vehicle technologies are relatively well understood, there are fewer studies available on the energy and emission impacts of ITS and mobility management strategies. In the future, ITS and mobility management will likely play a greater role in reducing fuel consumption. Studies are often based on simulation models, scenario analysis, and limited deployment experience. Thus, more research is needed to quantify potential impacts. Of the nine ITS technologies examined, traffic signal control, electronic toll collection, bus rapid transit, and traveler information have been deployed more widely and demonstrated positive impacts (but often on a limited basis). Mobility management approaches that have established the greatest CO2 reduction potential, to date, include road pricing policies (congestion and cordon) and carsharing (short-term auto access). Other approaches have also indicated CO2 reduction potential including: low-speed modes, integrated regional smart cards, park-and-ride facilities, parking cash out, smart growth, telecommuting, and carpooling.
Explanation:
Answer: Condensation
Water vapor is water in a gaseous state. Transformation of water into gaseous state
(water vapor) is called evaporation. Transformation of the water vapor into dew
which Michael observed in the early morning is called condensation.
Dew<span> is water droplets
that appears on exposed objects like
leaves in the morning or evening due to condensation</span>
Answer:
anopheles mosquitoes is very painles when it is bite in our skin
The correct answer to this question is <span>The allele for short pea plants is masked during the F1 generation, but it is still present in the genotype.</span>
Answer:
The correct answer is : * Membrane carbohydrates function primarily in cell-cell recognition.
Explanation:
The carbohydrates (poly or oligosaccharides) associated with the plasma membrane, are covalently bound to it (to proteins or lipids). They are found in the outer part of the plasma membrane forming the glycocalix. Its main functions are:
-Cell recognition
-Support to the membrane.
