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...

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?
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...
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) ...
strongenough to cause a measurable amount of magnetic flux to leak from the pipe material at metal-loss regions, uniformfrom inside to the outside surface of the wall thickness so that the measured signal is more linearly related to metal-loss depth, and ...
can seldom support the pressure of magma rising to the summit crater and, instead, tends to leak like a sieve. Cinder cones can be very asymmetrical, because prevailing winds blow the falling tephra to one side of the cone. This topography can funnel the lava flows in the opposite direction...
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...
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...
