Carbon Dioxide Transport refers to the process by which carbon dioxide, produced during the aerobic metabolism of glucose in tissues, is transported through the blood to the lungs for exhalation. It is primarily transported as carbonic acid, with a smaller portion carried by hemoglobin or dissolved...
A literature review was performed where articles were sought in MEDLINE medical database via PubMed using the search terms: “dry ice poisoning,”“carbon dioxide poisoning,”“CO2poisoning,”“carbon dioxide intoxication,” and “CO2intoxication.” The references of the articles that were found wer...
although in practice the larger bead sizes are difficult to achieve owing to problems with the beads in the stirred dispersion vessel. The beads can then be filtered off from the oil. In a preparative example, industrial novolac resin is mixed with ethylene glycol at an elevated temperature, mi...
sensors are used in homes to warn of otherwise undetectable CO. Such sensors fall in to two main categories: ‘blob’ sensors and electrical sensors. ‘Blob’ sensors are essentially a patch of a metaloxidesalt that is reduced upon interaction with CO, formingcarbon dioxide. The salt turns ...
Mathematical Modelling of Carbon Dioxide Exchange in Hollow Fiber Membrane Oxygenator For the last test, a proportional response of pCO2 towards the change of sweep gas flow rate was highlighted. In conclusion, the rate of CO2 removal from blood can be manipulated by sweep gas flow rate and this...
Owing to the extensive utilization of the communication devices working in GHz, the electromagnetic environment has been deteriorating. The redundant electromagnetic waves emitted from various electronic facilities can seriously threaten the physical health and disturb normal equipment operation [1,2]. To ...
Carbon dioxide has been used extensively for many years in the special hazard fire protection industry worldwide. Between the 1920s and 1960s, carbon dioxide was the only gaseous fire suppression agent used to any degree, but halon-based systems were used extensively beginning in the 1960s. ...
The lactate oxidase works as the anode and the bilirubin oxidase (from the yellowish compound found in blood) as the cathode. Given the theoretical high power density of lactate, this technology has the potential to produce even more power than its current power generation of 450 µW. ...

assessment for potential carbon dioxide leakage is usually based on the volume of the laboratory, the potential fill volume of the carbon dioxide if a leak should occur and rate of air change in the laboratory. For example, to determine what size cylinder may be deemed safe in a laboratory ...
