Introduction Establishing nutrition support is a priority in the management of the acutely unwell patient. Administration of proprofol by infusion is commonly used for sedation. This can significantly contribute to the total calorific input due to the lipid content. We investigated the total calorific input received in a cohort of patients in the first 7 days of nutrition support during their c...

Prey density has long been associated with prey profitability for a predator, but prey quality has seldom been quantified. We assessed the potential prey availability and calorific value for Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops aduncus) in an estuarine and coastal environment of temperate south-western Australia. Fish were sampled using three methods (21.5m beach seine, multi-mesh gillnet...

Calorific value of plants is an important characteristic for evaluation material cycles and energy conversion in forest ecosystems, as well a qualitative plant raw materials fuel. Wood biofuel increasingly used the production thermal energy, this regard, it to study calorific wood, conditions growing high-quality materials. The research purpose identify dependence pine wood crops on its macrosc...

The increasing demand for clean energy requires considerable effort to find alternative sources, such as briquettes. This research aims develop a charcoal briquette with added pine resin (API) that has excellent combustion speed and distinctive aroma. Briquettes are composed of charcoal, (concentration: 0%–30%), starch (up 7%). They produced in several stages, including coconut shell pyrolysis ...
