What is Organizational Innovation?
Organizational
innovation refers to new ways work can be organized, and accomplished
within an organization to encourage and promote competitive advantage.
It encompasses how organizations, and individuals specifically, manage
work processes in such areas as customer relationships, employee
performance and retention, and knowledge management.
At the core of organizational innovation is the need to improve or change a product, process or service. All innovation revolves around change - but not all change is innovative. Organizational innovation encourages individuals to think independently and creatively in applying personal knowledge to organizational challenges.

What Makes a Company Innovative?
What Makes a Company Innovative?
It’s not what you think. Innovation today is such an overused word, and often ill-defined, that we thought it was important to ask today's innovation practioners what they thought it took for their company to be 'innovative.'
More than creativity, the #1 thing that makes a company innovative is a climate that continuously fosters innovation. This is a shift in thinking from popular belief.

Chlorination Chemistry
When chlorine is added to water, a variety of chemical processes take place. The chlorine reacts with compounds in the water and with the water itself. Some of the results of these reactions (known as the chlorine residual) are able to kill microorganisms in the water. In the following sections, we will show the chemical reactions which occur when chlorine is added to water.

FIGHT HEAT TIPS -HEALTH SAFETY
When the
body heats up faster than it can cool itself, mild to severe illnesses
may develop. It’s important to recognize the symptoms of heat-related
illnesses and understand how to prevent, control and respond to their
effects.
Air temperature, humidity and clothing can increase the risk of developing heat-related illnesses. So can age, sex, weight, physical fitness, nutrition, alcohol or drug use, or pre-existing diseases like diabetes.

What can I do about biodiversity?
Economic
development is essential to meeting human needs and to eliminating the
poverty that affects so many people around the world. The sustainable
use of nature is essential for the long-term success of development
strategies. A major challenge for the 21st century will be making the
conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity a compelling basis for
development policies, business decisions, and consumer desires.

We Are Changing Life on Earth- 22 ND APRIL EARTH DAY
The rich
tapestry of life on our planet is the outcome of over 3.5 billion years
of evolutionary history. It has been shaped by forces such as changes
in the planet's crust, ice ages, fire, and interaction among species.
Now, it is increasingly being altered by humans. From the dawn of
agriculture, some 10,000 years ago, through the Industrial Revolution of
the past three centuries, we have reshaped our landscapes on an
ever-larger and lasting scale.
Biodiversity - The Web of Life- 22ND APRIL EARTH DAY
Biological
diversity - or biodiversity - is the term given to the variety of life
on Earth and the natural patterns it forms. The biodiversity we see
today is the fruit of billions of years of evolution, shaped by natural
processes and, increasingly, by the influence of humans. It forms the
web of life of which we are an integral part and upon which we so fully
depend. This diversity is often understood in terms of the wide variety
of plants, animals and microorganisms.
Status and trends of biodiversity in India- 22ND APRIL EARTH DAY
Overview
India is one of the 17 “megadiverse” countries and is composed of a diversity of ecological habitats like forests, grasslands, wetlands, coastal and marine ecosystems, and desert ecosystems.

EARTH DAY 22 ND APRIL -Ecological Footprint
What is the Ecological Footprint?
The Ecological Footprint is a resource accounting tool that measures how much biologically productive land and sea is used by a given population or activity, and compares this to how much land and sea is available. Productive land and sea areas support human demands for food, fiber, timber, energy, and space for infrastructure. These areas also absorb the waste products from the human economy.

Corrective and preventive action -CAPA
Corrective
action and preventive action (CAPA, also called corrective action /
preventive action) are improvements to an organization's processes taken
to eliminate causes of non-conformities or other undesirable
situations. CAPA is a concept within good manufacturing practice (GMP).
It focuses on the systematic investigation of the root causes of
non-conformities in an attempt to prevent their recurrence (for
corrective action) or to prevent occurrence (for preventive action).

HOW TO USE FIRE EXTINGUISHER
It's
easy to remember how to use a fire extinguisher if you can remember the
acronym PASS, which stands for Pull, Aim, Squeeze, and Sweep.
RULES FOR FIGHTING FIRE
Fires
can be very dangerous and you should always be certain that you will not
endanger yourself or others when attempting to put out a fire. For this
reason, when a fire is discovered:
Assist any person in immediate danger to safety, if it can be accomplished without risk to yourself. Activate the building fire alarm system or notify the fire department by dialing 911 (or designating someone else to notify them for you).
Assist any person in immediate danger to safety, if it can be accomplished without risk to yourself. Activate the building fire alarm system or notify the fire department by dialing 911 (or designating someone else to notify them for you).
A BRIEF ABOUT FIRE
The Fire Triangle
In order to understand how fire extinguishers work, you first need to know a little bit about fire.
Four things must be present at the same time in order to produce fire:
Enough oxygen to sustain combustion, Enough heat to raise the material to its ignition temperature, Some sort of fuel or combustible material, and The chemical, exothermic reaction that is fire.

Laboratories
OSHA,
recognizing the unique characteristics of the laboratory workplace, has
tailored a standard for occupational exposure to hazardous chemicals in
laboratories. This standard is often referred to as the "Laboratory
Standard". Under this standard, a laboratory is required to produce a
Chemical Hygiene Plan which addresses the specific hazards found in its
location, and its approach to them.
Laboratory hazards are addressed in specific standards for the general industry.

Environmental Impacts of Nitrogen Use in Agriculture
Introduction
Nitrogen is a common element in nature. Approximately 78% of the earth's atmosphere consists of nitrogen gas (N2). As nitrogen naturally cycles through the air, soil and water, it undergoes various chemical and biological transformations. These reactions result in the formation of nitrogen-based compounds and molecules, which are essential for the growth of plants, animals and humans.

Human health is inextricably linked to animal, ecosystem, and environmental health
The
Interagency Crosscutting Group on Climate Change and Human Health
(CCHHG) is charged by the USGCRP with planning, coordinating,
implementing, evaluating, and reporting on federal research and related
scientific activities on the human health impacts of global
environmental change. The CCHHG integrates relevant science and
technology programs and capabilities through interagency,
interdisciplinary, and intergovernmental collaborations spanning basic
research to decision making to application.
Science of Climate Change
How are
the terms climate change, global warming, and global change different?
The term climate change is often used as if it means the same thing as
the term global warming.
Climate Change Effects
How serious is a warming of a few degrees?
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) estimates it has warmed 1.2 to 1.4°F (0.7 to 0.8ºC) over the past century and projects a further 3 to 7°F (2 to 4ºC) over the 21st century. The increases may appear minor compared to short-term weather changes from night to day and winter to summer.

A healthy life starts first and foremost with acceptance and love for self
We are
all very complex beings and are a product of what we think, feel, focus
our attention on, take into our bodies and bring with us on a soul
level. In any discussion of healthy lifestyles, we should remember that
our thoughts and feelings are often the primary directors in how we
feel and choose to live our lives. To have positive thoughts and
harmonious feelings allows one to make lifestyle, exercise and dietary
choices that energize the body and enliven the mind and spirit.
Conservation of water
Why should we bother about our water footprint?
Freshwater is a scarce resource; its annual availability is limited and demand is growing. The water footprint of humanity has exceeded sustainable levels at several places and is unequally distributed among people. Good information about water footprints of communities and businesses will help to understand how we can achieve a more sustainable and equitable use of fresh water.

The water footprint of humanity has exceeded sustainable levels at several places and is unequally distributed among people. Good information about water footprints of communities and businesses will help to understand how we can achieve a more sustainable and equitable use of fresh water.
Water Footprint
The
water footprint is an indicator of water use that looks at both direct
and indirect water use of a consumer or producer. The water footprint of
an individual, community or business is defined as the total volume of
freshwater that is used to produce the goods and services consumed by
the individual or community or produced by the business.
The increasing consumption of water and overuse of aquatic systems has already resulted in a dramatic deterioration of aquatic ecosystems worldwide.

Carbon Footprint
Climate change is one of the major challenges facing the global population
and the natural environment. Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions released into the atmosphere in ever rapidly growing volumes are recognised to be responsible for this change.
Carbon Footprint analysis is the key
A Carbon Footprint measures the total greenhouse gas emissions caused directly and indirectly by a person, organisation, event or product.

What is a slip-strike quake, and why there was no tsunami
Immediately
after the Indonesian quake happened, there was widespread fears that
such a huge underwater quake may trigger off massive tsunamis.
But no destructive tsunamis were observed and seismologists said it was because it was a slip-strike quake that did not lead to a vertical displacement of waves.
British geological seismologist Susanne Sargeant was quoted as saying: “We have had two blocks rubbing together, it's called a strike-slip earthquake ...

Stockholm 1972 -UN Conference on the Human Environment
The
concept of sustainable development dates back a long way, but it was at
the UN Conference on the Human Environment (Stockholm, 1972) that the
international community met for the first time to consider global
environment and development needs together.
The Stockholm Declaration and Action Plan defined principles for the preservation and enhancement of the natural environment, and highlighted the need to support people in this process.

Institutional Framework for Sustainable Development
The
world is facing a mounting crisis. In recent years we have experienced a
combination of a global financial crisis, a food crisis, volatile oil
prices, accelerating ecosystem degradation and an increasing number of
climate-induced extreme weather events. These multiple and inter-related
crises call into question the ability of a growing human population to
live peacefully and sustainably on this planet, and demand the urgent
attention governments and citizens around the world.

Boiler water treatment -EHSQ--ADVANTAGES OF HELAMIN
Closed
systems usually contain a combination of different metals, which provide
a high potential for galvanic corrosion. The potential for dissolved
oxygen attach is generally quite low in closed systems because of small
amount of makeup water the main oxygen source. However, in systems that
require substantial makeup because of loss of water from leaks, oxygen
is continually supplied and oxygen corrosion presents a serious problem.
WATER QUALITY EVALUATION FOR AGRICULTURE
1.1 INTRODUCTION
Irrigated agriculture is dependent on an adequate water supply of usable quality. Water quality concerns have often been neglected because good quality water supplies have been plentigul and readily available. This situation is now changing in many areas. Intensive use of nearly all good quality supplies means that new irrigation projects and old projects seeking new or supplemental supplies must rely on lower quality and less desirable sources.

India's barefoot water scientists
In
southern India, the climate is becoming unpredictable and drought more
common. Indiscriminate pumping from shallow aquifers shared by many
farmers has caused abnormal drops in water levels. When a well goes dry,
a farmer loses his crop. Six thousand farmers have been trained in
groundwater management by a project run by Indian NGOs and guided by the
UN's Food and Agriculture Organization. They have learned to monitor
how much water is available underground at the start of the growing
season.
On World Water Day, UN community says better management of finite water resources is key to feeding the world
2 March
2012, Rome - UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon today said that producing
enough food to feed the world's rapidly growing population will require
the international community to ensure the sustainable use of the world's
"most critical finite resource," water.
Ensure environmental sustainability
The
natural resources base and ecosystems must be managed sustainably to
meet people’s food requirements and other environmental, social and
economic needs. Climate change, increased water scarcity and conflicts
over access to resources all pose challenges to environmental
sustainability and food security. In addition, hunger and poverty often
compel the poor to over-exploit the resources on which their own
livelihoods depend.

Environmental
Impact Assessment (EIA) is a tool that is used to consider the likely
significant environmental effects of a proposed development. EIA as an
environmental management tool is used around the world in developed and
developing nations. Whilst this e-brief focuses on EIA in the UK, the
principles of EIA that it identifies are relevant to any EIA in any
country. EIA is an iterative process.

What is a Demineralization plant?
De-mineralization plant is employed for removal of minerals or dissolved salts from the water. Salts on dissolving dissociate into electrically charged particles called ions: for example common salt will be split into sodium ion (a positively charged ion or cation) and chloride (a negatively charged ion or an anion).

The Fertilizer Industry and Sustainable Development
riven
largely by a growing population and rising incomes around the world,
agricultural demand is expected to continue rising in order to ensure
abundant quantities of high-quality food, feed, fibre, energy and even
industrial products (like pharmaceutical ingredients or bioplastics).
The nutritional value of various elements
Regardless
of the quantity needed, each plant nutrient fulfills a specific role in
plant growth and food production. Nutrients cannot be substituted for
one another.
Nitrogen (N)
N is a constituent of the building blocks of almost all plant structures. It is an essential component of chlorophyll, enzymes, proteins, etc. Rather high amounts of nitrogen are required compared to other essential nutrients. It stimulates root growth and crop development as well as uptake of other nutrients.

Applying the Farming First Principles to Mitigate and Adapt to Climate Change
More
than a billion farmers and their families around the world are on the
front line of climate change. Their lives and livelihoods are directly
affected by its impact, and they are also vital to implementing many of
the solutions we need to help delay and deflect it.
Members of the Farming First coalition believe that:
Agriculture generally, and farmers especially, are vital to mitigate and adapt to climate change.

Product
stewardship might be described as the "next step" in Safety, Health and

beyond the factory gate to include wider issues such as security. In
many respects, it is about putting into place responsible business
management processes across a product's lifecycle.

Heat Exchange System for Reforming in an Ammonia Process
Source http://www.owlnet.rice.edu
Abstract
In this project, the heat exchange system for the reforming section of an ammonia plant was optimized. The system consists of a single shell and tube process/process exchanger followed by a secondary cooling water exchanger. The primary exchanger heats the main feed before it enters the primary reformer, from 231.1 °C to 600 °C. It is exchanged with the hot stream from the secondary reformer which is cooled from 995.8 °C to 741 °C.

Anthropogenic-Industrial disaster -bhopal gas tragedy -SAFETY AND EQUIPMENT ISSUE
The
Bhopal disaster (commonly referred to as Bhopal gas tragedy) was a gas
leak incident in India, considered one of the world's worst industrial
catastrophes. It occurred on the night of December 2–3, 1984 at the
Union Carbide India Limited (UCIL) pesticide plant in Bhopal, Madhya
Pradesh, India. A leak of methyl isocyanate gas and other chemicals from
the plant resulted in the exposure of hundreds of thousands of people.

Marine dead zone of the earth
The size
and number of marine dead zones—areas where the deep water is so low in
dissolved oxygen that sea creatures can’t survive—have grown
explosively in the past half-century. Red circles on this map show the
location and size of many of our planet’s dead zones. Black dots show
where dead zones have been observed, but their size is unknown.
It’s no coincidence that dead zones occur downriver of places where human population density is high (darkest brown).

Aiming for a scrubbed clean look
When it
originates from a lake called Fulhaar Jheel near Madho Tanda east of
Pilibhit, the Gomti is a stream. Gradually, it starts growing. Around
100 km away from the point of its origin, this stream is joined by
tributaries like Sukheta, Choha and Andhra Choha near Mohammadi Kheri, a
tehsil of Lakhimpur Kheri. The stream now turns into a river. But, as
it is said, civilisations germinate in the vicinity of a river and
threaten its very existence. The Gomti's story is no different.

Acts Of Love
When we
allow ourselves to understand the impact our actions have not only on
ourselves but the planet we live on, we realize the necessity to take
loving action. We each have the power to correct conditions within as
well as to affect the world we live in.
There are so many ways to apply love in our everyday lives. Yet, if we do not take care of ourselves, it is virtually impossible to feel and share love with the world around us.

CARBON CREDIT
Burning
of fossil fuels is a major source of industrial greenhouse gas
emissions, especially for power, cement, steel, textile, and fertilizer
industries. The major greenhouse gases emitted by these industries are
carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), etc,
which all increase the atmosphere's ability to trap infrared energy and
thus affect the climate.

The importance of oxygen in life
The importance of oxygen in life
Oxygen ( /ˈɒksɨdʒɨn/ ok-si-jin) is the element with atomic number 8 and represented by the symbol O. Its name derives from the Greek roots ὀξύς (oxys) ("acid", literally "sharp", referring to the sour taste of acids) and -γενής (-genēs) ("producer", literally "begetter"), because at the time of naming, it was mistakenly thought that all acids required oxygen in their composition.
