When used clinical practice, volatile undergo minimal metabolism body; an 95% or greater oxide, desflurane exhaled from patient as waste gases (WAGs). These WAGs make up approximately 50% GHG emissions, 5% hospital can account 3% national health care sector 8;377:o1301).

change. “There are questions of how 3D images will be observed,” wrote Seibel. “Will the medical doctor and technician be aided by computers using machine vision?” Nonetheless, he sees these questions not as a roadblock, but as just a necessary maneuver to bring about change in a field of medicine that is often conservative. “[The] human pathologist will always be critical in diagnostic decisio...
متن کاملEstimating Greenhouse Gas Emissions using Computational Intelligence
This work proposes a Neuro-Fuzzy Intelligent System – ANFIS (Adaptive Network based Fuzzy Inference System) for the annual forecast of greenhouse gases emissions (GHG) into the atmosphere. The purpose of this work is to apply a Neuro-Fuzzy System for annual GHG forecasting based on existing emissions data including the last 37 years in Brazil. Such emissions concern tCO2 (tons of carbon dioxide...
متن کاملEstimating greenhouse gas emissions using emission factors from the Sugarcane Development Company, Ahvaz, Iran
Background: Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are increasing worldwide. They have harmful effects on human health, animals, and plants and play a major role in global warming and acid rain. Methods: This research investigated carbon dioxide (CO2) and CH4 emissions obtained from different parts of the Hakim Farabi, Dobal Khazaei, and Ramin factories which produce ethanol and yeast. Seasonal rates ...
متن کاملThe Costs of Reducing Greenhouse-Gas Emissions
Human activities around the world are producing increasingly large quantities of greenhouse gases, particularly carbon dioxide (CO2) resulting from the consumption of fossil fuels and deforestation. Most experts expect that the accumulation of such gases in the atmosphere will result in a variety of environmental changes over time, including a gradual warming of the global climate, extensive ch...
