background: in this study, measurement of indoor radon and its progeny levels was carried out in gas turbine power station in haryana ( india ), where natural gas is used as fuel. for comparison, the results of a study carried out in thermal power plant in haryana are also presented. radon being a ubiquitous air pollutant has global impact and its monitoring in the environment at work places is...

To generate electricity, Gas Turbine Power Plants are extensively used around the world but their efficiency is negatively affected on hot days by ambient air temperatures. and output power will decrease 2% 12.5% respectively at temperature 40°C due to lower density resulting increase in compressor specific work. 
 Ordinarily, cooling down intake of gas turbine facilitated employing a vari...

Ginseng root is one of the traditional medical remedies used for promotion of health and treatment of disease in many Asian countries (1). One particular kind of ginseng, red ginseng, has been the focus of a number of studies and has also demonstrated a positive effect on sports performance as an anti-fatigue (2) and anti-inflammation agent (3) along with ability to mitigate exercise-related mu...

Oxyfuel-firing of a steam boiler is a low risk high-efficiency technique for CO2 capture in a power plant. Oxyfuel-firing can be readily adapted to a new power plant or to retrofit applications. Development and design of pulverized coal and circulating fluidized bed oxyfuel boilers and balance of plant equipment have been conducted to identify the required specific features, which will maximize...

BACKGROUND Plant-based diets have been linked to high diet quality and reduced risk of cardiovascular diseases. The health impact of plant-based diets might be partially explained by the concomitant intake of flavonoids. Estimation of flavonoids intake in adults has been important for the development of dietary recommendations and interventions for the prevention of weight gain and its conseque...

OBJECTIVES To identify food sources of fat, to compare food and nutrient intakes at different levels of relative fat intake, and to examine the contribution of different food groups to the variation in relative fat intake. Relative fat intake was expressed as energy contributed by fat in percentage of non-alcohol energy. DESIGN Cross-sectional analysis of baseline data from the Malmö Diet and...
