A comparison was made in seven dogs anaesthetized with pentobarbitone of cardiovascular measurements during ventilation with 65-70% nitrous oxide in oxygen and ventilation with 65-70% nitrogen in oxygen. The substitution of nitrous oxide for nitrogen was found to be associated, after 15 min, with a significant decrease in cardiac output and significant increases in right atrial and left ventric...

M. phaseolina, a global devastating necrotrophic fungal pathogen causes charcoal rot disease in more than 500 host plants. With the aim of understanding the plant-necrotrophic pathogen interaction associated with charcoal rot disease of jute, biochemical approach was attempted to study cellular nitric oxide production under diseased condition. This is the first report on M. phaseolina infection...

A laboratory scale aeration treatment system was built to study the fate of nitrogen during aeration of pig slurry. For each run evaluated, the nitrogen mass balance was determined including measurement of the nitrous oxide gas emissions. Intermittent aeration led to a nitrogen removal of about 53% of the total nitrogen content of the raw slurry. About 18% of the total nitrogen content of the r...

The study investigates the effect of aluminium oxide nanoparticles as an additive to Madhuca Indica (mahua) methyl ester blends on performance, emission analysis of a single-cylinder direct injection diesel engine operated at a constant speed at different operating conditions. The test fuels are indicated as B10A0.2, B10A0.4, B20A0.2, B20A0.4 and diesel respectively. The results indica...

Density functional theory (DFT) studies were performed to investigate the influence of coadsorbates on the nitrogen oxide dissociation on the vicinal rhodium(311) surface. This study amplifies prior studies on the dissociation of oxygen and nitrogen oxide on the (111) facet of rhodium. The influence of coadsorbates on the kinetic parameters and thermochemistry of the NO dissociation on Rh311 wa...

The reactions of surface functional groups have an important role in controlling conversion of char nitrogen to NOx during coal combustion. This study involved an investigation of the thermal stability and reactions of nitrogen surface functional groups in nanoporous carbons. Four suites of carbons, which were used as models for coal chars, were prepared with a wide range of nitrogen and oxygen...

Nitrogen-containing electrocatalysts, such as metal–nitrogen–carbon (M–N–C) composites and nitrogen-doped carbons, are known to exhibit high activities for an oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). Moreover, even if the mechanism by which nitrogen improves the activities is not completely understood, a strong electronic interaction between nitrogen and active sites has been found in these composites....
