INTRODUCTION Decreases in oxygen saturation (SO2) and lactate concentration [Lac] from superior vena cava (SVC) to pulmonary artery have been reported. These gradients (Delta SO2 and Delta[Lac]) are probably created by diluting SVC blood with blood of lower SO2 and [Lac]. We tested the hypothesis that Delta SO2 and Delta[Lac] result from mixing SVC and inferior vena cava (IVC) blood streams. ...

The discovery of sulfur mass-independent fractionation (S-MIF) in ancient sedimentary rocks [1] has created the opportunity for quantitative constraints on the composition of the early atmosphere. Laboratory experiments have shown that S-MIF occurs during SO2 photodissociation at a variety of UV wavelengths [2, 3]. The source of the S-MIF in experiments at wavelengths ~ 200 nm is self-shielding...

In the present work, a sequential injection system with spectrophotometric detection was developed for the determination of free and total sulphur dioxide in wines. It was based on the formation of a coloured product from the reaction among SO2, formaldehyde and pararosaniline. A gas diffusion unit (GDU) was incorporated into the manifold to prevent the wine matrix interference in the spectroph...

This present study suggests a method to calculate the SO2 flow rate from a source area to receptor areas on a regional scale using Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) SO2 products, surface in situ SO2 data, and the hybrid single particle Lagrangian integrated trajectory (HYSPLIT) model. The method was implemented to calculate the SO2 flow rate from continental Asia to northeast Asia and the North...

The objective of this research was to determine the effects of elevated concentrations of carbon dioxide (CO2) and sulfur dioxide (SO2) on field-grown soybean. Soybeans (Glycine max L. Merr. cv. "Essex) were grown a full-season in open-top field chambers exposed to either ambient (350 #l L -j) or elevated CO2 (500 #l L -j) levels under two levels of SO2 (0.00 and 0.12 #l L-t). Enriched CO2, wit...

The CO2 capture performance of four zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIFs), ZIF-10, ZIF-71, ZIF-68 and ZIF-69, was investigated in the presence of SO2 using molecular simulations. Our results show that SO2 is preferentially adsorbed over CO2. However, it also shows a cooperative effect on CO2 adsorption. In ZIF-10 and ZIF-71, the SO2 presence was found to have almost no effect on CO2 adsorption...
