<span> <span><span> <span> If stress act equally from all directions, the applied force is a uniform stress. However, if stress is not equivalent from all directions then it is a differential stress. Moreover, there are various kinds of differential stress namely, tensional stress that causes the rock to stretch, the compressional stress that squeezes the rock and the shear stress which is a consequence of slippage, twisting or transformation of rocks.   </span> </span> </span></span>

Risk of using bio pharmaceuticals
Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

The potential risks associated with plant-based pharmaceuticals include: pollen transfer to related species, contamination of non-transgenic crops intended for the consumption by humans, allergic reactions to the drugs produced from the genetically engineered plant, and persistence of genetically engineered material to persist in the environment and accumulate in non-target organisms. Risk assessment of plant-made pharmaceuticals should be reviewed on a case-by-case basis because the plants used to produce proteins each have different risks associated with them.
