http://www.answers.com/topic/bioplastic – A Bioplastic is ” form of plastics derived from plant sources such as hemp oil, soy bean oil and corn starch rather than traditional plastics which are derived from petroleum” . It is consumes much less carbon, than regular plastic, and degrades faster than regular plastic as well

http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2008/apr/26/waste.pollution – This page mainly concerns with social effects and the environmental effects of using bioplastics. One of the major concerns is that growing bioplatics plants are taking up room for food to human beings

http://www.worldcentric.org/biocompostables/bioplastics – Comparing the times it takes to degrade the certain martiral, ie like a plastic for.  Also compares the different kinds of plastics, Compostable Plastic,Biodegradable Plastic, Degradable Plastic.

NOW for the future

http://www.greencarcongress.com/2008/06/mazda-motor-and.html – “The Mazda Bioplastic Project will focus on designing a production process for an extremely versatile polypropylene, appropriate for extensive use in vehicles, by first converting non-food cellulosic biomass to ethanol, and then investigating various mixtures of ethylene and propylene.” Yeah…. that basicly sums it up. lolz

http://transmaterial.net/2008/03/intelligent-bioplastic.htm – This type of bioplastic is a re-usable type of bioplastic. It can retake by melting down it’s form and then placing it to the correct shape you want it.

path for the technical Journal Artical

 What i found interesting aobut this journal was that they adapted the PID controller, a mechanical device, to a biological creature, a plant in this case. In order to achieve this, the plant impulses are used to create the calcualations for the PID controller.  While this was what sparked my interest in this artical, the depth of the artical for me was the math and trying to understand what they did in order to accomplish that goal. I could only follow it a little but my goals hope that it will be able to understand what they did but more importantly continue in planning a career in math/phyics/computer science.

Breif Reaction on Knowing what type of style you learn best by

For me, there really is no one type of style which I learn best by. Whether it visually, auditory or by touch/ experince, i won’t matter. For me, I believe that i learn best when there is some sort of combination between the three. Which would explain why i do well is school, because most teachers try to teacher with all 3 in a lesson.

Now while all the fact that we learned today are useful and interesting. It really won’t affact my daily life.  I doubt that i will go out of my way to learn way or change the way  I do research unless it makes my life easier. I am a type of person that has a specific wasy of doing things especcially for school. It hasn’t failed me yet so i don’t believe i should change.
