Gas turbines provide a means of transferring energy from a pressurized fluid to mechanical energy in the form of a rotating shaft. The gas turbine compresses ambient air in a compressor and then channels the compressed air into a combustion chamber.
The cane toad (Rhinella marina; formerly Bufo marinus) is an invasive species in Australia. The cane toad is the largest species in the family Bufonidae. Adult cane toads are usually heavy-built and weigh an average of up to 1.8 kg.(4 lbs.). Their size may vary from 10â23 cm.(4â9 in.) and their skin is warty.he cane toad is the largest species in the family Bufonidae.

To assess whether cane toad eggs provide significant nutrition for conspecific tadpole growth and development, we reared toad tadpoles at ambient temperatures using 1000 ml plastic containers filled with 750 ml bore water in a randomized block design experiment.1) Toxin transfer. The amount and diversity of toxins (bufadienolides) decrease from the egg stage through larval development in cane toads, such that late-stage tadpoles and metamorphs have less effective chemical defences than earlier tadpoles or (especially) eggs (Hayes et al. 2009).
