Remote sensing has been a key tool for ocean slicks monitoring and new discoveries based on offshore seepage detection. In this context, this contribution has a two-fold objective. Firstly, in order to spectrally characterize hydrocarbons (HCs), we conducted VNIR-SWIR-TIR spectral measurements of petroleum samples yielded from large, off-shore oil fields sited at sedimentary basins of Brazil. S...

The traditional consideration of architectural history as a linear process, where one style successively replaces another, still dominates, but does not explain many phenomena. V.S. Goryunov substantiated fundamentally different, non-linear model the historical process in architecture on basis 19th – early 20th centuries. V. S. and M. P. Tubli proposed stylistic polyphony with introduction conc...

We conducted a retrospective mortality study among 6672 petroleum marketing and distribution workers from 226 locations throughout Canada. These employees worked for at least 1 year in the marketing distribution segment from 1964 through 1983 or were annuitants as of 1964. Industrial hygienists assigned hydrocarbon (HC) exposure frequency scores for several jobs, departments, and job functions....

Background: Heliotropium indicum is used by traditional medical practitioners in North Central Nigeria for the management of ailments including diabetes. However, the folkloric use of H. indicum as antidiabetic has been asserted, but its roles on the hyperglycemia-induced organ-specific complications are not yet scientifically proven. Thus, ameliorative effect of aqueous leaf extract of H. indi...

The worldwide consumption of fossil hydrocarbons in the road transport sector 2020 corresponded to roughly half overall consumption. However, biofuels have been discreetly contributing mitigate gaseous emissions and participating sustainable development, thus leading extending commercial utilization internal combustion engines. In this scenario, present work aims at exploring effects alternativ...

We present Spitzer 10-34 {\mu}m spectroscopic observations of the diffuse gas in inner region star-forming IC 348 Perseus Molecular Cloud. find evidence for strongest mid-IR bands common molecules as H\textsubscript{2}, OH, H\textsubscript{2}O,CO\textsubscript{2} and NH\textsubscript{3} several carbonaceous which may play an important role production more complex hydrocarbons: HCN, C\textsubscr...
