this paper dealswith thermo-mineral groundwater of themondragone plain (campania, southernitaly) and the possibility to use this low enthalpy geothermal resource. in the nw sector of this plain, at thebottom of mt. pizzuto, near the sea, there are thermo-mineral waters (50 °c) of sodium-chloride type,sulfureous and rich in co2 whose recharge is from the mt. pizzuto groundwater body. in the se s...

OBJECTIVES This study sought to validate a new method for direct volumetric blood flow measurement in coronary arteries in animals and in conscious humans during cardiac catheterization. BACKGROUND Direct volumetric measurement of blood flow in selective coronary arteries would be useful for studying the coronary circulation. METHODS Based on the principle of thermodilution with continuous ...

The physico-chemical characteristics as well as chemical composition of Arachis hypogaea shell (AHS) ash were evaluated by different techniques such as X-Ray fluorescence, X-Ray diffraction and thermo-gravimetry. The material, which is considered a by-product obtained from Groundnut shelling, was investigated as a potential fertilizer, energy source and as animal feeds. And this will provide a ...

Different species and genotypes of Miscanthus were analysed to determine the influence of genotypic variation and harvest time on cell wall composition and the products which may be refined via pyrolysis. Wet chemical, thermo-gravimetric (TGA) and pyrolysis-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (Py-GC-MS) methods were used to identify the main pyrolysis products and determine the extent to which...

A layer of compressible, rotating, elastico-viscous fluid of related density heated & soluted from below is considered in the presence of vertical magnetic field to include the effect of Hall currents. Dispersion relation governing the effect of visco-elasticity, salinity gradient, rotation, magnetic field and Hall currents is derived. For the case of stationary convection, the Rivlin-Erickson ...

The increasing amount of seaweed accumulated in the coasts calls for a proper disposal or treatment order to reduce secondary pollution effects. Anaerobic digestion is technology that simultaneously produces biogas, supporting further expansion renewable energy production through sustainable bioresources. In this study, three pretreatments (alkaline, hydrothermal and thermo-acidic) were applied...
