A method for change detection in time and space domains based on wavelet MRA: Multi-Resolution Analysis is proposed. Measuring stations for carbon dioxide concentration are sparsely situated. Also the measuring stations monitor the carbon dioxide concentration in an irregular basis so that some interpolation techniques are required for creation of carbon dioxide concentration with a regular int...

The use of capnography during general anesthesia has become not only state of the art but also a recommended standard of care. In intubated patients, measurements of partial pressure of carbon dioxide in exhaled pulmonary gases approximate partial pressure of carbon dioxide in arterial blood under stable conditions. End-tidal carbon dioxide measurement has allowed anesthetists to continuously f...

A paramagnetic method of carbon dioxide analysis enables the simultaneous analysis of carbon dioxide and oxygen to be made at 2-min intervals. The method depends upon observing the change of oxygen concentration in a gas mixture before and after absorbing the carbon dioxide component. The carrier-gas in the experiments reported was nitrogen. The output of the paramagnetic meter was measured bot...

In this study, the impact of energy, agriculture, macroeconomic and humaninduced indicators on environmental pollution from 1971 to 2011 is investigated using the statistically inspired modification of partial least squares (SIMPLS) regression model. There was evidence of a linear relationship between energy, agriculture, macroeconomic and human-induced indicators and carbon dioxide emissions. ...

During the production of concrete, cement, water, aggregate, and chemical and mineral admixtures will be used, and a large amount of carbon dioxide will be emitted. Conversely, during the decades of service life of reinforced concrete structures, carbon dioxide in the environment can ingress into concrete and chemically react with carbonatable constitutes of hardened concrete, such as calcium h...

Density functional theory (DFT) calculations were employed to investigate the energetics of carbon dioxide migration within hydrated or anhydrous graphene oxides (GOs). When anhydrous GO structures contain a carbon dioxide molecule, the carbon dioxide interacts repulsively with the GO layers to increase the interlayer spacing. The repulsive electrostatic interactions are reduced by the insertio...

The effects of frequency, tidal volume and added deadspace on carbon dioxide clearance were measured during high frequency jet ventilation at 1, 3 and 5 Hz in dogs. With a short, small volume deadspace, carbon dioxide clearance increased with minute volume at each frequency, but for a given minute volume the clearance decreased with increase in frequency. At 5 Hz, carbon dioxide clearance was l...

OBJECTIVE To assess the safety and efficacy of a chlorine dioxide water treatment system in controlling Legionella in a hospital water supply. DESIGN For 17 months following installation of the system, we performed regular water cultures throughout the building, assessed chlorine dioxide and chlorite levels, and monitored metal corrosion. RESULTS Sites that grew Legionella species decreased...

Strong adsorption of pollutants on activated carbon may inhibit their diffusion to the catalyst on the surface of the adsorbent and hence reduce he whole photocatalytic process. Oxidation of the carbon surface will change the adsorption properties of the carbon; and increase the capability of arbon surface to carry more titanium dioxide. In this work, activated carbon was oxidized with differen...

This paper applies Pedroni's panel cointegration approach to explore the causal relationship between trade openness, carbon dioxide emissions, energy consumption, and economic growth for the panel of newly industrialized economies (i.e., Brazil, India, China, and South Africa) over the period of 1970-2013. Our panel cointegration estimation results found majority of the variables cointegrated a...
