This study aims to describe the epidemiology of unintentional non-fire related CO fatalities in the UK and to relate this information to sources of CO. Data from the CO-Gas Safety Society (COGSS) database was analysed and compared with data from the English House Condition Survey (EHCS). There were 462 deaths from the COGSS database, from 1 January 1996 to 31 December 2007 inclusive. The relati...

Graphene aerogels (GAs) are functionalized with Fe-Co-P alloy using an electro-deposition method. The Fe-Co-P alloy coated on the graphene nanosheets is found to possess an amorphous structure and a nanoporous architecture of GAs. The electro-mechanical properties of GAs are significantly affected by the Fe-Co-P nanoparticles embedded inside GAs. The electro-mechanical responses of GA/Fe-Co-P n...

Using the Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA), we conducted a survey of CO J = 1− 0 and J = 2− 1 line emission towards strongly lensed high-redshift dusty star forming galaxies (DSFGs) previously discovered with the South Pole Telescope (SPT). Our sample comprises 17 sources that had CO-based spectroscopic redshifts obtained with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) and ...

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 ...

We present observations of CO(1–0) in 17 Combined Array for Research in Millimeter Astronomy (CARMA) ATLAS early-type galaxies (ETGs), obtained simultaneously with CO(1–0) observations. The CO in six ETGs is sufficiently bright to create images. In these 6 sources, we do not detect any significant radial gradient in the CO/CO ratio between the nucleus and the outlying molecular gas. Using the C...

We report results of CO (J = 1-0) mapping observations of the Wolf-Rayet starburst galaxy Mrk 1259 which has optical evidence for the superwind seen from a nearly pole-on view. The CO emission is detected in the central 4 kpc region. The nuclear CO spectrum shows a blue-shifted (∆V ≃ −27 km s) broad (FWHM ≃ 114 km s) component as well as the narrow one (FWHM ≃ 68 km s). The off-nuclear CO spect...

We show that the CO/CO intensity ratio in nearby galaxies varies systematically as a function of the star formation rate surface density (ΣSFR) and gas surface density. The same effect is observed in different transitions, and in the CO/CO ratio, while the CO/CO ratio appears to remain constant as a function of ΣSFR. We discuss the cause of these variations, considering both changes in the phys...

ORFEUS far UV echelle spectra have been used to investigate H I, H2 and CO absorption lines along the line of sight towards LH 10:3120 in the LMC, extending the study presented by de Boer et al. (1998). While H2 absorption is clearly visible, no CO absorption at LMC velocities is detected, but an upper limit of N(CO) ≤ 3.3 × 10 cm for the CO column density is derived for the C-X band near 1088 ...

We present observations of CO, CO and of H2O in the middle and far-infrared taken with the ISO-SWS and ISO-LWS spectrometers toward two positions in the Galactic Center region (Sgr A and GCS-3). Both ice and gas phase molecules are detected. The ISO data have been complemented with observations of the J=3-2 and J=7-6 lines of CO carried out at the Caltech Submillimeter Observatory. The ISO and ...
