Storing CO2 underground shows promising results

Anticipating public attitudes toward underground CO2 storage

Carbon capture and storage (CCS) may play a central role in managing carbon emissions from the power sector and industry, but public support for the technology is unclear. To address this knowledge gap, and to test the use of discrete choice analysis for determining public attitudes, two focus groups and a national survey were conducted in Canada to investigate the public’s perceptions of the b...

Regulating the underground injection of CO2.

W hen the U.S. finally gets serious about climate change, it will have to reduce emissions of CO 2 by more than a factor of two during this century in order to do its part in stabilizing atmospheric concentrations (1). CO 2 capture and disposal is among the most important supply-side technologies for managing the carbon problem. This technology could enable continued access to fossil energy whi...

Initiative To Reduce Avoidable Hospitalizations Among Nursing Facility Residents Shows Promising Results.

Nursing facility residents are frequently admitted to the hospital, and these hospital stays are often potentially avoidable. Such hospitalizations are detrimental to patients and costly to Medicare and Medicaid. In 2012 the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services launched the Initiative to Reduce Avoidable Hospitalizations among Nursing Facility Residents, using evidence-based clinical and ...

Transpulmonary Hypothermia with Cooled Oxygen Inhalation Shows Promising Results as a Novel Hypothermia Technique

BACKGROUND Therapeutic hypothermia was showed to improve neurologic outcome but current therapeutic hypothermia techniques have limitations. Novel techniques such as transpulmonary hypothermia with cooled oxygen inhalation may be beneficial. AIMS To evaluate the performance of transthoracic hypothermia with cooled medical oxygen inhalation as a therapeutic hypothermia method. STUDY DESIGN A...
