The electric battery boom has a new target: ships. Four Japanese companies have teamed up to build the world’s first zero-emission oil tanker by mid-2021 that will be powered by large-capacity batteries and will operate in Tokyo Bay, according to a statement on Tuesday.

The global maritime industry is facing an onslaught of legislation to alter and improve its environmental performance. From next year, a majority of vessels will have to burn fuel containing less sulfur. A challenge requiring even more innovation than that, though, is the goal to halve shipping’s carbon emissions by 2050.

Although fully-electric ships have struggled to penetrate major markets, momentum is gathering. Rolls-Royce Holdings Plc said last year that it had started offering battery-powered ship engines, while Norway’s Kongsberg Gruppen ASA is developing an electric container vessel. Still, there are challenges in making the technology applicable to ships navigating thousands of miles across oceans because of the need to recharge batteries.

Industries from auto to aviation are also looking to go electric. Komatsu Ltd., the world’s secondbiggest construction equipment, has developed its first battery-powered electric digger. Electric-plane company Eviation Aircraft Ltd., which has signed up its first customer, predicts that in a few years it may not be able to keep up with orders.

Readthe following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the answer to each of the question.

If your sweat glands had an “on” switch, those of someone with primary hyperhidrosis would always be flipped up. People with primary hyperhidrosis generally sweat from a certain type of gland called eccrine sweat glands. These glands make up the majority of the 2 million to 4 million sweat glands in your body. Eccrine sweat glands are numerous on the feet, palms, face, and armpits.

When your body is overheated, when you’re moving around, when you’re feeling emotional, or as a result of hormones, nerves activate the sweat glands. When those nerves overreact, it causes hyperhidrosis. For instance, someone may only need to think of a situation that causes anxiety in order to break out in a sweat.

Doctors aren’t sure why people have primary hyperhidrosis, although it may be inherited. The most common cause of excessive sweating is called primary focal hyperhidrosis. This form of hyperhidrosis affects about 1%to 3% of the population, and usually starts in childhood or adolescence.

Primary focal hyperhidrosis does not cause illness. Basically, you just sweat too much. Although it is a medical condition, it’s not a sign of disease or a drug interaction. People who have it are otherwise healthy.

The symptoms of primary focal hyperhidrosis are fairly specific. It’s called focal or localized because it only affects specific parts of the body, such as the underarms, groin, head, face, hands, or feet. Symptoms also tend to be symmetrical, occurring on both sides equally.

Why does it happen? Experts aren’t sure, but primary focal hyperhidrosis seems to stem from a minor malfunction in the nervous system. There’s some evidence that it could run in families. Many people tell their doctors they’ve had excessive sweating since they were a child.
