The thermodynamic properties of a hydrofluoro-olefin (HFO) refrigerant are presented. The p-ρ-T behavior of high-purity (99.993 %) R1234ze(E) was measured from 240 K to 420 K with pressures to 15 MPa using a two-sinker densimeter. The measurements extend
Building energy efficiency has become a top priority for governments across the globe due to the recent energy price volatility and increasing concern regarding climate change. New buildings are considered the easiest and least costly way in which to

Palladized zero-valent iron nanoparticles have been frequently employed to achieve enhanced treatment of halogenated organic compounds. However no detailed study has been published on their structures, especially the distribution of palladium within the

The reaction of hydrogen atoms with propyne(CH≡CCH3) has been investigated in a heated single pulse shock tube at temperatures of 870-1145K and pressures of 2-9 bar. Stable products from various reaction channels (terminal and non-terminal H addition, and

Background: In this commentary we present the findings from an international consortium on fish toxicogenomics sponsored by the UK Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) with a remit of moving omic technologies into chemical risk assessment and

We report frequency-stabilized cavity ring-down spectroscopy measurements of high-J O2 A-band magnetic dipole line parameters. Our goals were to measure intensities and line shape parameters for the primary isotopologue of O2 in the A-band region and to
Rust and Thijsse have shown that global annual average temperature anomalies T(t i) vary linearly with atmospheric CO 2 concentrations c(t i). The c(t i) can be related to man-made CO 2 emissions F(t i) by a linear regression model whose solution vector

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has developed four Standard Reference Materials (SRMs) related to the monitoring of contaminants in fish and marine mammals: SRM 1588b Organics in Cod Liver Oil, SRM 1945 Organics in Whale Blubber
In meeting the challenges of sustainable design, information must flow through the manufacturing supply chain. Examples of this information include; product material data, product and process energy usage, and chemical safety information. To assist in the

The origins and the processes driving the inadvertent transformations of inorganic mercury (iHg) and methylmercury (MeHg) in cryogenically stored and homogenized fresh-frozen versus freeze-dried biological Standard Reference Materials (SRM) were
Historically, contaminants in seabird tissues were monitored by considering physically visible effects; however, subtle, sub-lethal effects are also important. Several long-term monitoring and specimen banking programs are in place for seabirds, and the
