natural gasoxidationremote sensingvegetation stressA facility has been developed at the University of Nottingham at which natural gas can be injected into soil to investigate the effects on the soil ecology and on the growth and development of plants. The facility involves 18 plots, 12 of which ...
It’s also been found that gas stoves – including those that are new and expensive – leak natural gas even when not in use. This gas contains benzene, a known carcinogen, methane, hexane, and toluene, among other things. One analysis found 21 volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in this g...
CME (Continuous Methane Emission) solutions are projected to identify major fugitive methane leaks in natural gas pipelines more rapidly than traditional leak surveys, with CME quantification forming the cornerstone of measurement-based inventories. Single-blind testing, conducted at a controlled release fa...
Nanoparticles are often engineered as a scaffolding system to combine targeting, imaging and/or therapeutic moieties into a unitary agent. However, mostly overlooked, the nanomaterial itself interacts with biological systems exclusive of application-specific particle functionalization. This nanoparticle biointerf...
Natural gas is the cleanest-burning fossil fuel. Coal and oil are more chemically complicated than natural gas, and when burned, they also release a variety of harmful air pollutants.How does burning fossil fuels lead to climate change?
Local fishermen hired to work on BP’s uncontrolled oil leak in the Gulf of Mexico are scared and confused. Fishermen here and in other small communities dotting the southern marshes and swamplands of Barataria Bay are getting sick from the working on the cleanup, yet BP is assuring them the...
where T2 is the fluid temperature inside annular temperature; h2 is the natural convection heat transfer coefficient. The item on the left of Equation (2) shows the heat exchange between the tubing and the fluid inside and outside the tubing, and the item on the right of Equation (2) ...
rainfall soaks into the ground, comes in contact with buried waste or other sources of contamination, picks up chemicals, and carries them into groundwater. Sometimes the volume of a spill or leak is large enough that the chemical itself can reach groundwater without the help of infiltrating ...
The natural compound cedrol possess anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. We sought to assess the neuroprotective effect of cedrol in an animal model of transient global ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. Method To induce transient global cerebral I/R injury, bilateral carotid arteries were te...
Watch out: atHEAT EXCHANGER LEAK TESTwe explain that small changes in the operating conditions of a gas fired appliance can make big changes in the detectability of flue gas leaks into building air . Concluding that there are no hazards in a building based on such a test alone, without expe...
