Perhaps the more interesting nanostructures with large application potential, from transistors to probes, are carbon nanotubes. One of the most widely uses of these nanostructures are their applications as gas detector, which is an important application in the field se of environmental technologies. The present work studies the adsorption of carbon monoxide on a (6, 6) armchair carbon nanotube ...

Differential diagnosis of primary headache disorders can be challenging for physicians. Although the association of headache with acute carbon monoxide intoxication is very well-defined, in refractory nonspecific headaches associated with chronic low dose exposure to carbon monoxide, CO intoxication is usually overlooked, mostly due to vague symptoms. Herein we present a 15-year-old female pati...

1. INTRODUCTION The discovery of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) in 1993 by Iijima and Ichihashi [1] has stimulated many researchers to utilize for the innovative technology, especially applications to electronic or optic devices in which SWNTs are used as grown on substrates. However, the technical development for decreasing impurities and defects, controlling physical properties, shape...

The toxic effect of carbon monoxide on the animal organism has probably been known by man since the discovery of fire, and we know it was recognized as a dangerous poison in ancient times. It was Claude Bernard who first studied its mode of action, and he showed that blood treated with carbon monoxide was unable to bind oxygen. J. S. Haldane (1895) is considered as the pioneering investigator o...

Carboxydothermus hydrogenoformans is a carboxydotrophic hydrogenogenic bacterium species that produces hydrogen molecule by utilizing carbon monoxide (CO) or pyruvate as a carbon source. To investigate the underlying biochemical mechanism of hydrogen production, an elementary mode analysis of acetyl-CoA pathway was performed to determine the intermediate fluxes by combining linear programming (...

The possible trends for atmospheric carbon monoxide in the next 100 years have been illustrated using a coupled atmospheric chemistry and climate model driven by emissions predicted by a global economic development model. Various model runs with different assumptions regarding emissions or model parameters have been carried out to investigate the impacts of model and emission uncertainties on t...

We explore the possibility of preparation of Pt3M (M = Fe, Ni and Co) nanocubes using carbon monoxide as an alternative protocol under different experimental conditions. The results suggest that the sole carbon monoxide flow at ambient pressure can enable the formation of binary Pt-M nanocrystals, but it is inadequate to facilitate the formation of Pt3M nanocubes in the given system under speci...

We read with great interest the article by Yarar et al. entitled “Analysis of the features of acute carbon monoxide poisoning and hyperbaric oxygen therapy in children”1. Carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning, with its high morbidity and mortality, remains an important public health problem. The data about CO poisoning in pediatric patients are limited and the contributions of Yarar et al. are of valu...

Several strains of Gram-negative and Gram-positive sulphate-reducing bacteria (SRB) are able to use carbon monoxide (CO) as a carbon source and electron donor for biological sulphate reduction. These strains exhibit variable resistance to CO toxicity. The most resistant SRB can grow and use CO as an electron donor at concentrations up to 100%, whereas others are already severely inhibited at CO...
