Industries with low direct CO2 emissions downstream in the industry chain have significant carbon upstream, which is similar to how leakage interprovincial regions and international commerce affects these regions. Due interchange transit of goods, there are intermediate production consumption processes across industrial sectors. The produced by each sector insufficient satisfy sector’s ultimate...

Medical efforts and financial expenditures devoted to initial breast cancer staging represent a heavy burden on health care resources. Staging the disease accurately is considered to be important before surgery, in order to spare unnecessary treatment to patients with metastatic disease [1]. The role of 2-[fluorine-18]fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose–positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) in the stagin...

The boreal summer intraseasonal oscillation (ISO) in the global tropics is documented here using a 7-year suite (1998–2004) of satellite measurements. A composite scenario was made of 28 selected events with reference to the oscillation in the eastern equatorial Indian Ocean (EIO), where the oscillation is most regular and its intensity is indicative of the strength of the subsequent northward ...

Many organizations look to carbon footprint protocols for guidance on measuring their greenhouse gas emissions, or carbon footprint. Existing protocols generally require estimation of direct emissions (Scope 1) and emissions from direct purchases of energy (Scope 2), but focus less on indirect emissions upstream and downstream of the supply chain (optional Scope 3). Because on average more than...

We report a large enhancement of 1.7 in deuteron polarization up to values of 0.6 due to frequency modulation of the polarizing microwaves in a two liter polarized target using the method of dynamic nuclear polarization. This target was used during a deep inelastic polarized muon-deuteron scattering experiment at CERN. Measurements of the electron paramagnetic resonance absorption spectra show ...

Pureose: In a lot of patients an objectivization of visual field defects is needed. The commonly used VEPs (pattern-reversal, pattern-onset/offset) are not helpful because of their considerable amplitude reduction outside the macula. In contrast the motion-onset VEPs that can be obtained beyond the central 40 " of the vtsual field without significant amplitude reduction (Kuba, M. and Kubova, 2....

This study estimates the life cycle water consumption and wastewater generation impacts of a Marcellus shale gas well from its construction to end of life. Direct water consumption at the well site was assessed by analysis of data from approximately 500 individual well completion reports collected in 2010 by the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources. Indirect water consu...
