In this paper, the use of gasoline combinations with ethanol and nano oxide particles has been studied in gasoline-based SI EF7 engines. The mixtures are prepared in five emulsions of gasoline with 10% ethanol, gasoline with 10% ethanol and 10ppm nano Mn2O3, gasoline with  10% ethanol and 20ppm nano Mn2O3, gasoline with 10% ethanol and 10ppm nano Co<s...

biodegradation of petroleum hydrocarbons (20 g/kg dw soil) was investigated in 3 media, differing in the kind of petroleum fractions. in the laboratory experiments, during 5 months, the activities of petroleum hydrocarbon-degrading microorganisms and dehydrogenase activity of soil was determined. gas chromatographic analysis showed the biological decontaminations for gas oil, kerosene and synth...

Introduction Kerosene oil poisoning is one of common presentations to emergency departments among children in rural territories of developing countries. This study aimed to describe clinical manifestations, reasons for delayed presentations, harmful first aid practices, complications, and risk factors related to kerosene oil poisoning among children in rural Sri Lanka. Methods This multicente...

The advisability or otherwise of carrying out routine gastric lavage in cases of kerosene poisoning is still much debated (Olstad and Lord, 1952; Gerarde, 1959; Capel and Gardner, 1960; George, 1960; Ashkenazi and Berman, 1961). The most recent and comprehensive study has been carried out by the American Pediatric Association (Report of the Subcommittee on Accidental Poisoning, 1962). However, ...

During the period 1981-1985, 1306 patients with acute poisoning were admitted to Ga-Rankuwa Hospital. Of these 60% were males and 40% females. The majority (80%) were children aged 10 years or less. Sixty patients (4.6%) died. Most poisonings were accidental and only 4.0% were due to deliberate self-poisoning. The most important causes of acute poisoning were kerosene (59%) and traditional medi...

Compared to the conventional methods, Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) are considered to be one of the reliable tools for modeling of complex phenomena such as demand. Aim of this study is to provide a model for gasoline demand in transportation section of Tehran metropolis through multilayered perceptron neural network and using the presented model in analyzing the sensitivity of the model to ...

OBJECTIVE To determine the pattern and severity of poisoning cases in emergency Kathmandu Medical College Teaching Hospital. DESIGN Retrospective observational study. MATERIALS AND METHODS All the poisoning cases due to various agents who attended Emergency from 1st of April 2002 to 30th of March 2003 were evaluated retrospectively. RESULTS A total of 67 poisoning cases attended emergency...

The present paper deals with the design of experimental work matrices for two groups of experiments by using Response surface methodology (RSM). The first EDM group was dealt with the use of kerosene dielectric alone, while the second was treated by adding the graphite micro powders mixing to dielectric fluid (PMEDM). The total heat flux generated and fatigue lives after EDM and PMEDM models we...
