In early 2006 I was 39, living in Bristol and working at one of the best robotics labs in the world. I had become increasingly obsessed with what life would be like if civilisation collapsed, and thought that I could find out by setting up a community that acted as if it already had....
In the oil and gas industry, there has not been a consistent, concerted effort to reduce global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions across the supply chain. In addressing this challenge, this study evaluates the potential GHG emissions reduction that may be r
Some early literature presents the mechanisms through which natural resources impact FD in resource-rich countries. As Beck (2011) explains, on the demand side, the windfall gains from natural resources and the resultant growth in the non-traded goods industry may increase the demand for financial...
One reason for this increase relates to the demand pull created by refiners ramping up in advance of the summer driving season. You can see in the above chart that crude prices generally spike in March then continue at a lesser pace through the early summer before picking up again in the l...
Some key points of changes to the NJ Lead Safe Law regarding lead inspections are as follows: Lead inspections were always interior and tenant-accessible areasin the main structure.The amendment now says detached garages are part of the lead inspection, whereas previously they were not. ...
Alongside these process changes, the technique of fabricating process plants has improved steadily; steels are less subject to embrittlement and welding techniques are more reliable. The failure of welded joints has not at any time been a serious problem in process plant operation, so these improveme...
technology. The California Institute of Technology, Cornell University and GeoGroup have published a geochemical model to map source and migration pathways of hydrocarbons within a geologic basin. The model also tracks chemical changes that can occur during migration, such as phase separation and gas...
it is critical to recognize that early detection\((\text{MeOH)}\)is critical for effective monitoring and mitigation measures at the appropriate time. In this work, the fact that 2FAL compounds are constantly produced, even at a later stage than\({\text{MeOH}}\), lends further weight to...
Although there were no major changes in wnt11 mRNA levels in exposed embryos, the selective reduction of the basal neurocranium/pal- ate (ethmoid plate) observed in the larval exposure may be connected to up-regulation of wnt11. However, palatal development involves signaling centers that utilize...
Unconventional oil and natural gas development (UOGD) expanded extensively in the United States from the early 2000s. However, the influence of UOGD on the radioactivity of ambient particulate is not well understood. We collected the ambient particle radioactivity (PR) measurements of RadNet, a na...
