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:
<h2>Order of parts of a microscope
</h2>
First – ocular lens
Second – Body tube
Third – Revolving Nosepiece
Fourth – Objective lens
Fifth – Coverslip
Explanation:
Ocular lens: The lens present in the eyepiece at the top of the microscope, close to the eyes, through which a person looks through the microscope to view the specimen. Magnification of ocular lens in a compound microscope is usually 10x
Body tube: The tube that connects the eyepiece with the objective of the microscope for continuous optical alignment.
Revolving Nosepiece: The turret that holds the objective and revolves to select the objective lens according to its magnification
Objective lens: The objective lens is located above the specimen rack. Objective lens creates the primary image of the specimen viewed through the eyepiece. A single compound microscope can have more than two objective lens and their magnification ranges from 4x, 10x, 40x, 100x power.
Coverslip: The cover glass which covers the objective lens and prevent from touching the specimen
. This is the object directly above the specimen.
