The distinction between what constitutes the largest P AH molecule and the smallest soot particle is arbitrary; the formation processes of both can be placed under the heading of molecular weight growth. Evidence exists for the carcinogenicity of many P AH molecules. Soot is used as a component of dyes and as an additive to rubbers as

Abstract:

The recently increasing interest in plasma assisted combustion is motivated by new possibilities for ignition and flame stabilization, in addition to pollutant emission reduction and control. The plasma generates a chemical active environment producing radicals, excited species and ions thus increasing the combustion process reaction rate. In this work the effect of plasma assisted combustion phenomena in a premixed flame of natural gas-air is investigated by using pollutant emission gas analysis, optical emission spectroscopy and high speed imaging. The plasma is created by using a gliding-ar

Laminar, premixed ethylene—air flames stabilized at atmospheric pressure on a water-cooled Maker-type flat-flame burner are used to study hydrocarbon chemistry under fuel-rich conditions in the post-flame region of both sooting and non—sooting flames. Profiles of temperature hydrogen radicals and major combustion products are measured on non-sooting flames with flame temperature, 1870 < Tf < 1940K and C/O ratio, 0.52 < C/O < 0.58. Similar measurements are made on sooting ethylene/air/oxygen flame with flame temperatures 1780 < Tf < 1920 and c/o ratio 0.749 < C/O < 0.869.

Abstract:

Hydrogen could replace fossil fuels for power generation and transportation and contribute to a low carbon economy. However, current methods of producing hydrogen e.g. steam methane reformation of natural gas are not sustainable and also contribute to COi emissions. Dark fermentation of carbohydrate-rich waste organics and energy crops to hydrogen using mixed microflora could contribute to the mix of technologies for producing hydrogen sustainably. Naturally available mixed microflora can be enriched e.g. by heat treatment to select for hydrogen producers, typically clostridia. Fermentation en

Biomass is increasingly used as a feedstock in global energy production. This may present operational challenges in energy conversion processes which are related to the inorganic content of these biomasses. As a larger variety of biomass is used the need for a basic understanding of ash transformation reactions becomes increasingly important. This is not only to reduce operational problems but also to facilitate the use of ash as a nutrient source for new biomass production. Ash transformation reactions were examined in the present work using the Lewis acid-base concept. The model presented in

Abstract:

Twenty three sets of experimental data describing CO, CO₂, H₂, O₂, NO, NH₃, and HCN concentration profiles for fuel-rich pulverized coal combustion in plug flow configurations were correlated by a simple kinetic mechanism. A comprehensive mechanism covering the entire fuel-rich zone was formulated by combining models describing short and long time scale combustion. Short time scale phenomena (up to 0.6 seconds) including coal devolatilization were handled by developing global semi-empirical models based on fundamental concepts.

Nitrogen-rich porous organic frameworks show great promise for use as acid-doped proton conducting membranes, due to their high porosity, excellent chemical and thermal stability, ease of synthesis, and high nitrogen content.

The morphology and chemical environment, doping behavior, and proton conduction of these materials were investigated. With such high acid-doping, ex-situ studies reveal

Abstract:

Geophysical and thermal investigations of ice-rich permafrost were performed in an area of planned hydrocarbon development at Parsons Lake, Northwest Territories. The site is owned by ConocoPhillips Canada (CPC) and ExxonMobil, and is intended to be a primary target for the Mackenzie Valley Gas Project. As a result, the Program of Energy and Research Development (PERD) funded this thesis to acquire more knowledge regarding the current and future state of permafrost at this site. Information on ground temperatures and material properties are available from boreholes extracted during the 2004 CP

Abstract:

CABP1 is a cAMP-binding protein found in Dictyostelium discoideum. Anti-CABP1 monoclonal antibody cross-reacts with several polypeptides. The gene encoding CABP1, capA, cross-hybridizes to seven genomic fragments on a genomic DNA Southern blot. Clones representing four different capA-related sequences were obtained by screening both cDNA and genomic libraries with the anti-CABP1 monoclonal antibody and with a capA cDNA. Sequence analysis revealed that the structural similarities between CABP1 and two CABP1-related polypeptides are restricted to a region highly enriched for proline, glycine, gl

Abstract:

The aim of this study was to examine apo(a)B particles distribution among plasma lipoproteins in two situations in which triglyceride-rich lipoproteins are increased: in normolipidemic subjects after a fat load and in patients with endogenous hypertriglyceridemia.<br>The results obtained demonstrate that, in hypertriglyceridemic patients, the distribution of apo(a)B particles among lipoprotein fractions is different than that observed in normotriglyceridemic subjects. These differences in distribution are a result of the association of apo(a)B particles with TG-rich lipoproteins. Contrary to a

Abstract:

The magnetic properties of amorphous Fe$ sb{ rm x}$T$ sb{ rm 100-x}$ (T = Zr, Hf, Sc; 89 $ le$ x $ le$ 93) alloys have been systematically studied mainly by Mossbauer spectroscopy and magnetization measurements. Two magnetic transitions have been observed in Fe$ sb{92.5}$Hf$ sb{7.5}$ (the only FeHf alloys studied here) and FeZr alloys with Fe content between 90 and 93 at.%. We have ruled out the cluster models which attribute the second transition either to the ordering of AFM clusters or to the freezing of FM clusters, and confirmed that the second transition is due to the homogeneous freezin

Abstract:

Today's Web browsers provide a platform for the development of complex, richly interactive user interfaces. But, with this complexity come additional challenges for Web developers. The complicated behavioural relationships between user interface components are often stateful, and are difficult to describe, encode and maintain using conventional programming techniques with ECMAScript, the general-purpose scripting language embedded in all Web browsers. Furthermore, user interfaces must be performant, reacting to user input quickly; if the system responds too slowly, the result is a visible UI "

Abstract:

The Neoarchean was a time of enhanced continental crust formation and wide-spread mafic magmatism related to global mantle melting. Mafic and ultramafic intrusions were emplaced across a large portion of the Ungava craton of the Northeast Superior Province, synchronous with the crystallization of large volumes of ca. 2.74-2.70 Ga intermediate to felsic plutonic rocks. The ca. 2.72-2.70 Ga mafic/ultramafic intrusions are locally known as the Qullinaaraaluk, Chateguay and Couture plutonic suites, and are herein referred to as the Q-suite. The Q-suite plutons have relatively unfractionated MREE/H

Abstract:

This dissertation undertakes a comprehensive analysis of the Costa Rican banana industry, including a case study based on fieldwork at an independent banana plantation in Costa Rica's Atlantic zone. A basic premise is that a coherent understanding of the banana industry and its consequences can only be achieved through the appreciation of the complexity of its organization. That is, the Costa Rican banana industry is a political-economic, socio-cultural, and environmental system articulated through a high degree of interaction at the micro and macro levels.

Abstract:

A major environmental concern throughout the tropics is deforestation. While many forests are in a state of crisis, such an encompassing narrative can obscure significant instances where forest-cover expands. This research investigates the geography of forest regeneration in rural Costa Rica from a social and institutional perspective. Attracted to the Pacific coast, foreigners purchase farms, change the patterns of land ownership, and extensively promote secondary forest growth. Environmental change and a declining agriculture sector have forced peasants to sell or abandon land and div
