New materials capable of binding carbon dioxide are essential for addressing climate change. Here, we demonstrate that amyloids, self-assembling protein fibers, are effective for selective carbon dioxide capture. Solid-state NMR proves that amyloid fibers containing alkylamine groups reversibly bind carbon dioxide via carbamate formation. Thermodynamic and kinetic capture-and-release tests show...

We have studied, in six normal subjects, the effect of nitrous oxide sedation on the ventilatory pattern and oxygen saturation using pulse oximetry (Sp0J after hyperventilation to an endtidal carbon dioxide partial pressure (PE'COJ °f 3 kPa. This value of P?Co2 was shown to be less than the apnoeic threshold of all these subjects when their ventilation vs P f COi response curves were plotted. A...

Bronchiolitis is the most common lower respiratory tract infection among infants and young children [1]. Nowadays oxygenation and clinical assessment are used to decide on hospitalization. Jacob et al. recently explored the role of capnography upon arrival to the Emergency Department and concluded that endtidal carbon dioxide (EtCO2) does not predict neither hospital admission nor discharge eli...

This photocatalytic conversion of carbon dioxide laboratory experiment is designed for an advanced undergraduate chemistry or chemical engineering majors laboratory course. It introduces the science of emerging sustainable energy technologies through hands-on experimentation. By photo-irradiating a glass flask containing water, catalyst, and carbon dioxide, students explore the potential of new...

When looking at the effects of diesel engine exhaust on the environment, it is important to first look at the composition of the exhaust gases. Over 99.5% of the exhaust gases are a  combination of  nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide, and water. With the exception of carbon  dioxide, which contributes about  5% of the total volume, the diesel engine exhaust consists of  elements which are part of...

Different crops, seasons, greenhouse’s structures and planting area need different concentration of carbon dioxide which fertilized in greenhouse. Measuring the concentration of carbon dioxide accurately in greenhouse is very important to fertilize carbon economically and reasonably Concentration of carbon dioxide measuring equipments were often used in chemical industry and environment fields,...

the effective parameters of (5, 0) and (5, 5) single-wall carbon nanotubes during the interaction with carbon dioxide as sensors are determined. the interaction of carbon dioxide  molecules with internal and external walls of the nanotubes is studied using gaussian 03 coding by density functional theory (dft) at the b3lyp/6-311g level of theory. co2 rotation around tube axles vertically and par...

Seven C3 crop and three C3 weed species were grown from seed at 360 and at 700 cm3 m–3 carbon dioxide concentrations in a controlled environment chamber to compare dry mass, relative growth rate (RGR), net assimilation rate (NAR), leaf area ratio (LAR) and photosynthetic acclimation at ambient and elevated carbon dioxide. The dry mass at the final harvest at elevated carbon dioxide relative to ...

Transcutaneous and arterial carbon dioxide were measured simultaneously in 57 children (age range 10 days to 14.3 years) undergoing intensive care. All were haemodynamically stable at the time of study. Mean calibration time with 5 and 10% carbon dioxide was 43 (range 38-58) minutes and mean arterialisation time was 10.5 (range 3-30) minutes. Duplicate hourly arterial samples over a four hour p...
