Obesity is a medical condition relating to accumulation and storage of excess body fat, predisposing to negative health implications. The fundamental cause of obesity is a simple energy imbalance between calorific intake and calorific expenditure. Sedentary lifestyle and an increase in consumed calories are the main contributors to this increase in weight gain [1]. Such is the tightness of the ...

waste low density polyethylenes (ldpe) represent a source of energy and valuablechemicals, were pyrolysed catalytically in a batch reactor under atmospheric pressure. calciumcarbide was used as a catalyst to explore its effect on pyrolysis product distribution. the effect oftemperature, amount of catalyst and time on the yields of the pyrolysed products wasinvestigated. the effect of catalyst o...

The current study is focused on controlling sulphur emissions by pre-treating coal to remove sulphur prior to combustion using the oxydesulphurisation technique. Three British coals were chosen for the study. Working with these coals gave a better insight to the oxydesulphurisation reactions for pyritic and organic sulphur. Effect of air and oxygen pressure in a fixed time interval on sulphur r...

BACKGROUND High calorie intakes, especially as carbohydrate, increase carbon dioxide production (VCO2) and may precipitate respiratory failure in patients with severe pulmonary disease. Energy obtained from fat results in less carbon dioxide and thus may permit a reduced level of alveolar ventilation for any given arterial blood carbon dioxide tension (PaCO2). METHODS Ten patients with stable...
