Introduction The renewed interest in gas, which started in the 1990s due to its excellent environmental credentials, has seen an increase in the order book for LNG carriers – LNG carriers being the leviathans of the gas carrier fleet. Yet, while attracting great interest, the gas trade still employs relatively few ships in comparison to oil tankers, and hence its inner workings are little known...

Based on cataluminescence from plasma-assisted catalytic oxidation, a low temperature CO sensor was fabricated. With Ag doped alkaline-earth catalyst as sensing element, air as discharge gas, carrier gas and oxidant supplier, significant cataluminescence was achieved at low temperature, demonstrating a potential low-consumption and portable sensor of CO.

abstract             this study was conducted to investigate the effects of different levels of yeast and molasses on chemical composition and nutritional value of artiplex lentiformis silage. the levels of yeast include: zero (control), 2.5 and 5 g/kg dry matter and levels of molasses include: zero (control), 10 and 15 percent that were added to atriplex and then ensiled. the experiment arrang...

We present a comprehensive analysis of terahertz radiation from large area plasmonic photoconductive emitters in relation with characteristics of device substrate. Specifically, we investigate the radiation properties of large area plasmonic photoconductive emitters fabricated on GaAs substrates that exhibit short carrier lifetimes through low-temperature substrate growth and through epitaxiall...

The National Ocean Sciences Accelerator Mass Spectrometry (NOSAMS) facility at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution has developed an Accelerator Mass Spectrometry (AMS) system designed specifically for the analysis of C in a continuously flowing stream of carrier gas. A key part of the system is a gas-accepting microwave ion source. Recently, substantial progress has been made in the develo...

The mitochondrial tricarboxylate carrier (TCC) plays an important role in lipogenesis being TCC-responsible for the efflux from the mitochondria to the cytosol of acetyl-CoA, the primer for fatty acid synthesis. In this study, we investigated the effects of two high-fat diets with different fatty acid composition on the hepatic TCC activity. Rats were fed for 3 weeks on a basal diet supplemente...

A new C]H]O ternary diagram is presented based on radical species composition showing the regions for diamond deposition, non-diamond deposition, and no deposition from the vapor phase. This construction is based on the steady-state computations of gas-phase and gas-surface chemistry from the data points presented in the C]H]O ternary diagram based on feed gas Ž Ž . . composition by Bachmann et...
