The possibility of using dawsonite mineral trapping as a carbon capture and storage (CCS) strategy intrigues many. In this study, we used dawsonite-rich (∼10%) CO2 gas reservoir in the Hailar basin northern China natural analogue site, along with numerical modeling, to demonstrate that large amount can be generated sandstone formations, provided sufficient Na-rich feldspar are available. While ...

Reversible or information-lossless circuits have applications in digital signal processing, communication, computer graphics, and cryptography. They are also a fundamental requirement in the emerging field of quantum computation. We investigate the synthesis of reversible circuits that employ a minimum number of gates and contain no redundant input–output line-pairs (temporary storage channels)...

A web cache (or HTTP cache) is an information technology for the temporary storage (caching) of web documents, such as HTML pages and images, to reduce bandwidth usage, server load, and perceived lag. The web cache proxy server can serve cached content much more quickly to other computers on the local network. Web caching is used at the proxy server level to reduce the network traffic by cachin...

The human frontal cortex helps mediate working memory, a system that is used for temporary storage and manipulation of information and that is involved in many higher cognitive functions. Working memory includes two components: short-term storage (on the order of seconds) and executive processes that operate on the contents of storage. Recently, these two components have been investigated in fu...

A temporary vegetative storage protein, composed of similar 25 kilodalton and 27 kilodalton subunits, was found to be abundant in soybean (Glycine max (L.) Herr. var Hobbit) leaves, stems, pods, flower petals, germinated cotyledons, and less abundant in roots, nodules and seeds. Total pod protein was highest at 3 weeks after flowering and declined by 37% within 3 weeks during seed development. ...

In this paper, we present a method to quantify the effectiveness of carbon mitigation options taking into account the ‘permanence’ of the emissions reduction. While the issue of permanence is most commonly associated with a ‘leaky’ carbon sequestration reservoir, we argue that this is an issue that applies to just about all carbon mitigation options. The appropriate formulation of this problem ...
