MOJAVE DESSERT - Largest Solar Plant

The Mojave Desert is blooming.

Construction crews are erecting mirrors, each measuring 70 square feet at a rate of 500 per day across some 3,500 acres.

The project has a partnership of NRG, BrightSource, Google and Bechtel.

Unlike photovoltaic technology, which converts solar radiation directly into electricity, the Ivanpah facility generates heat. More than 170,000 mirrors will gather tremendous amounts of sunlight and focus it on three towers filled with water, raising temperatures to more than 1,000 degrees Fahrenheit and producing steam that spins turbines that generate electricity. The Bechtel corporation, says that using sunlight instead of fossil fuels to power the turbines will reduce carbon emissions by more than 400,000 tons annually. 



The world's largest solar thermal is now comprises the GOOGLE logo which is spell out in heliostats(mirrors reflect sunlight onto a central receiving point).

A particular gene combine with air pollution increases the risk of autism

According to the University Of Southern California, when children who possess MET gene exposed to air pollution are mostly affected by autism.
Autism spectrum disorder(ASD) is refer to wide spectrum disorder because no two affected persons will have same symptoms, they experience different combinations of symptoms. In general autism is any neuro developmental disorder caused by brain abnormality.
Some characteristics are

• they lack social skills.

• they possess repetitive behavior like drawing same picture again and again.
• they often have obsessions.

Researchers say that the following may result in autism,

• exposed to air pollution during pregnancy may cause ASD
• If a pregnant women gets flu or suffer from persistent fever and takes any antibiotic may increases autism risk.
• due to some changes in immune system.
• Seattle Children's Research Institute found gene mutations were linked to the development of autism.
• a child whose parents or siblings suffer from bipolar disorder have a greater risk of being diagnosed with an ASD
•  if the father is older during conception, there is a risk of autism for the baby.

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention states that 1 in 88 children are affected by autism.
