| That plants grow better if grown in a greenhouse in the correct climate is nothing new. Dutch researcher Rachel van Ooteghem has designed a control system for an improved solar greenhouse that yields more. In the new greenhouse, good climate control with sustainable energy resulted not only in an increased crop yield but also a lower gas bill. |
Huddling And A Drop In Metabolism Allow Penguins To Survive The South Pole Cold (View Original Story)
Source: Posted: 02-01-2007 at 06:00:32
| Emperor penguins endure their incubation and fast for four dark and bitterly cold months each year. The tight huddling among these South Pole penguins is a key energy-saving mechanism that allows them to endure the extremely harsh conditions. Huddling and a drop in metabolism allow penguins to survive the biting South Pole cold. |
