To comprehend spoken language, listeners must segment continuous speech into individual words. In cases where /s/ occurs on both sides of a word boundary (e.g., gas station) segmentation might be difficult because the two s-sounds blend together into one long s-sound. We report a series of experiments that examined how listeners segment such sequences, focusing on the contribution of lexical kn...

This paper gives a case of large Sub-Station Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) Project to analyze CDM project’s influence on India’s Sustainable Development. SF6 gas is being extensively used in circuit breakers. SF6 gas has the highest Global warming potential which is 23900 times of Carbon Dioxide. Extensive Survey of SubStation using SF6 circuit breaker has been done in a sample state of Ind...

natural convection heat transfer from a tube bundle in the indirect water bath heaters is investigated. a computer-code is used for the solution of the governing equations of mass, momentum and energy transfer based on the simple-c algorithm. simulations are carried out for the gas pressure station heater of kermanshah city with various tube bundle arrangements. in order to validate the numeric...

Benzene is a ubiquitous environmental pollutant and an important industrial chemical present in both gasoline and motor vehicle emissions. Occupational human exposure to benzene occurs in the petrochemical and petroleum refining industries as well as in gas-station workers, where it can lead to benzene poisoning (BP), but the mechanisms of BP are not completely understood. In Brazil, a signific...

Self-employment is increasing among seniors. The percentage of individuals age 62 and over who were self-employed increased from 4.2 percent in 1988 to 5.4 percent in 2015. In contrast, the percentage of individuals under age 62 who were self-employed decreased from 7.2 percent in 1988 to 6.0 percent in 2015. This report explains the increase in self-employment among individuals age 62 and over...

BACKGROUND Gasoline station workers are exposed to volatile organic compounds such as benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and xylene (BTEX). OBJECTIVE To determine the level of exposure to BTEX compounds among gasoline station workers and measure the roadside concentrations of these compounds in the inner and outer areas of Bangkok, Thailand. METHODS 49 workers at 6 gasoline stations in the inne...

One of the most important methods of transporting natural gas in Iran and other parts of the world is the utilization of a network of pipelines. Compression station and turbo compressor units play an important role in gas supply through pipelines. One of the primary concerns in these units is the reduction of fuel consumption. By cooling of exhaust gas from the source station, the pressure drop...

Nowadays for power generation, environment is a major consideration. The heart of power generation is power station. At present there are almost above 40(Both Government & Rental) power station in Bangladesh. Among these 80% of power station is gas based. Rest of the 20% is coal, liquid and furnace oil based. Bangladesh has only one Hydraulic power station. These gas and coal based power statio...

A 32-year-old female presented to the emergency department with complaints of diplopia, followed by dyspnea, chest tightness, congestion, and dysphagia. The patient was resuscitated and initial investigations were done. Within a few hours of the admission, she started developing signs of respiratory failure and was intubated and placed on the mechanical ventilator. The patient denied any ingest...
