In this paper Bibulus will be introduced. Bibulus is a very flexible, multilingual system for formatting bibliographies in several formats, including LTEX. Bibliographies are stored in XML, but Bibulus includes a program to convert old BTEX databases. Bibulus is being developed as open-source software at http://savannah.nongnu.org/ projects/bibulus/. This paper will first summarise the curren...

Over the past fifty years, gas sensors based on metal semiconducting oxides (MOXs) have drawn attention due to their performance in detecting various gases. Thus, we report herein a BTEX gases sensor hematite (α-Fe2O3) microrhombuses synthesized via hydrothermal method. X-ray diffraction and absorption spectroscopy analyses indicated presence of pristine phase after treatment. Electron microsco...

Introduction Gasoline is a complex solution of different hydrocarbons. Naturally occurring petroleum contains aromatic hydrocarbons, a class of unsaturated hydrocarbons that includes benzene, toluene, ethylenzene, and xylene (collectively known as BTEX). Since the EPA banned lead additions to gas in 1973, aromatic hydrocarbons were added to increase the octane concentration, thereby maximizing ...

Groundwater is one of our most valuable natural resource. More than 50% of the U.S. population depends on groundwater for domestic use and more than 95% of the rural population is dependent on groundwater. A major portion of industries and agriculture use groundwater. These numbers suggest that the personal and economic health of the nation is dependent on groundwater. Contamination of groundwa...

Due to occupational activities, many people are exposed carcinogenic airborne pollutants, such as benzene. Furthermore, benzene is also present in cigarette smoke. The main cancers associated with benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylenes (BTEX) lung cancer malignancies of the blood. At initial stages, often asymptomatic, but progression into metastasis a huge clinical concern. We performed r...
