We have mapped the molecular gas content in the host galaxy of the strongly lensed high redshift quasar APM08279+5255 (z = 3.911) with the Very Large Array at 0.3 resolution. The CO(J=1→0) emission is clearly resolved in our maps. The CO(J=1→0) line luminosity derived from these maps is in good agreement with a previous single-dish measurement. In contrast to previous interferometerbased studie...

In the recent times issues like the Green House Gas (GHG) emission reduction and carbon-trading through Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) have gained large prominence as a part of climate change. Biomass gasification is one such technology which is environmentally benign and holds large promise for the future. These technologies are currently being utilized for power generation applications at ...

A multi-gas sensor system was developed that uses a single broadband light source and multiple carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO₂) and methane (CH₄) pyroelectric detectors by use of the time division multiplexing (TDM) technique. A stepper motor-based rotating system and a single-reflection spherical optical mirror were designed and adopted to realize and enhance multi-gas detection. Det...

New high resolution CO (3–2) interferometric map of the IR-bright interacting galaxy system VV 114 observed with the Submillimeter Array (SMA) reveal a substantial amount of warm and dense gas in the IR-bright but optically obscured galaxy, VV 114E, and the overlap region connecting the two nuclei. A 1.8×1.4 kpc concentration of CO (3–2) emitting gas with a total mass of 4×109M⊙ coincides with ...

Clinically apparent carbon dioxide (CO(2)) gas embolism is uncommon, but it may be a potentially lethal complication if it occurs. We describe a 40-year-old woman who suffered a CO(2) gas embolism with cardiac arrest during laparoscopic surgery for colorectal cancer and liver metastasis. Intra-abdominal pressure was controlled to less than 15 mmHg during CO(2) gas pneumoperitoneum. The right he...

High-resolution, CO (1 --> 0) interferometry of the ultraluminous infrared galaxy IRAS 14348-1447 is presented. The merger system has a molecular gas mass of approximately 3x1010 M middle dot in circle and a projected nuclear separation of 4.8 kpc (3&farcs;5), making it one of the most molecular gas-rich galaxies known and an ideal candidate for studying the intermediate stages of an ultralumin...

The Camol System consists of methanol production by CO, recovered from coal fired power plants and natural gas and the use of the methanol as an alternative automotive fuel. The Carnol Process produces hydrogen by the thermal decomposition of natural gas and reacting the hydrogen with CO, recovered from the power plant. The carbon produced can be stored or used as a materials commodity. A desig...

For the measurement of the single-breath transfer factor of the lung for carbon monoxide (TL,CO,sb), the American Thoracic Society (ATS) recommends using a test gas with a 21% inspired fraction of oxygen (FI,O2) whereas the European Respiratory Society (ERS) expressly recommends 17-18% FI,O2. The ERS committee argues that with a higher concentration (e.g. 21%) the alveolar fraction of oxygen (a...

Response of highly sensitive SnO2 semiconductor carbon monoxide (CO) gas sensors based on target gas CO quasi-molecular-imprinting mechanism design is investigated with gas concentrations varied from 50 to 3000 ppm. SnO2 nanoparticles prepared via hydrothermal method and gas sensor film devices SC (exposed to the target gas CO for 12 h after the suspension coating of SnO2 film to be fully dried...
