Endogenous carbon monoxide (CO) production rates and total body haemoglobin content were determined simultaneously in blood and gas phase in 15 individuals. At 24% oxygen (O2) concentration in the closed rebreathing system, a correlation was obtained which revealed that a 1 mumole rise in CO in the gas phase of the system was the result of 48.94 +/- 5.3 (SE) mumoles of CO rise in the body. Three individuals had heat-damaged red cells reinjected intravenously to determine if the recovery rate of the subsequently produced CO was proportionate in both the gas phase and blood phase. Changes in blood CO concentration were not consistently detected by gas phase analysis. Prediction of CO production rates utilizing gas phase data alone did not reflect accurately CO production rates determined from blood carboxyhaemoglobin rises.

Enhancing oil recovery in sandstone reservoirs, particularly through smart water flooding, is an appealing area of research that has been thoroughly documented. However, few studies have examined the formation of water-in-heavy oil emulsion because of the incompatibility between the injected water-folded ions, clay particles, and heavy fraction in the oil phase. In this study, we investigated the synergistic roles of asphaltene and clay in the smart water flooding process using a novel experimental approach.

Investigating how the size of carbon support pores influences the three-phase interface of platinum (Pt) particles in fuel cells is essential for enhancing catalyst utilization. This study employed molecular dynamics simulations and density functional theory calculation to examine the effects of mesoporous carbon support size, specifically its pore diameter, on Nafion ionomer distribution, as well as on proton and gas/liquid transport channels, and the utilization of Pt active sites. The findings show that when Pt particles are located within the pores of carbon support (Pt/PC), there is a significant enhancement in the spatial distribution of Nafion ionomer, along with a reduction in encapsulation around the Pt particles, compared to when Pt particles are positioned on the surface or in excessively large pores of the carbon support.

A volatile heteroleptic open ruthenocene has been synthesised and characterised by NMR and single crystal X-ray diffraction. Using this compound as a precursor and oxygen as a co-reactant, a highly conductive Ru film has been deposited on Si with native oxide at 220 °C. Under the same deposition conditions, the film thickness obtained with the new compound has almost doubled compared to its homoleptic analogue.

The successful design and deployment of next-generation nuclear technologies heavily rely on thermodynamic data for relevant molten salt systems. However, the lack of accurate force fields and efficient methods has limited the quality of thermodynamic predictions from atomistic simulations. Here we propose an efficient free energy framework for computing chemical potentials, which is the central free energy quantity behind many thermodynamic properties.

Plant growth promotion via priming with volatile organic compounds emitted from strain EXTN-1.

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) produced by potential plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) play an important role in plant interactions. However, the mechanisms underlying this phenomenon are not well understood. Our findings show that the influence of VOCs from the PGPR strain (EXTN-1) on tobacco plant growth is dependent on the culture media used.
