Carbon-Dioxide Emissions Due to Fossil Fuels Consumption
A majority of Carbon-dioxide including smaller amounts of methane and nitrous are emitted from the consumption of
fossil fuels around the world to meet the sustainable development goals and global prosperity. Studies have shown that the
increase in greenhouse gases has negative effects on human health, and the environment around us. Emissions from the
consumption of fossil fuels in factories and industries either to produce electricity or transport people, goods and services
cause the release of CO2 and other pollutants into the atmosphere. The majority of industrial energy is supplied by nonrenewable energy resources, which mainly consist of fossil fuels. Currently, fossil fuels are the main source of energy and
are concentrated in some regions of the world, therefore direct contamination occurs in areas where they are stored or
processed. A majority of electricity consumed by cities and countries across the world is produced from fossil fuels, which
accounts for the highest percentage of overall CO2 production in that particular country. People will share the common
global environmental problems, either it is local or regional, hence immediate actions are needed to tackle problems at
national and regional and global levels. Fortunately, with the advent of new technologies and intervention strategies, it is
possible to reduce pollution and reduce the rate of rising global temperature that might result in better economy and ecological systems as well as providing sustainable energy resources. In this research the data on nonrenewable energy sources, fossil fuel reserves in different regions, production and consumption rate of fossils have been identified and reviewed.
Additionally, mathematical calculation has been done to find the carbon dioxide emission amounts, both international
and national legislations as well as further recommendations have been provided to reduce or prevent emissions.
Adsorption Kinetics and Mass Balance Mathematical Model of Monoethanolamine Surface-Modified Palm Shell Activated Carbon for Carbon Dioxide Dynamic Adsorption in Fixed Bed Column
Dynamic adsorption kinetics results indicated that monoethanolamine-carbon dioxide (MEA-CO2) reaction in fixed bed column packed with MEA-impregnated activated carbon (AC) particles is pseudo first order reaction.
Computer Modeling of Convective Mass Transfer of Glucose, Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide in the Neurovascular Unit
Glucose and oxygen are obligatory energy substrates for the brain and their continuous supply to the neurons, as well as the elimination of the end product – carbon dioxide, is of paramount importance for brain physiology and survival. Transport of these substrates from the brain capillaries to the neurons presents a challenging issue.
Video-Thoracoscopic Extended Thymectomy with Sternal Elevation and Carbon Dioxide Insufflation
To remove the thymus safely and completely in the surgical management for MG, especially for the upper pole of the thymus in the neck, we have performed video-thoracoscopic extended thymectomy (VATET) with sternal elevation and carbon dioxide (CO2) insufflation. From November 2013 to May 2014, we conducted VATET for three MG patients. Symptomatic improvement was obtained, and there was neither mortality nor perioperative complications. VATET with sternal elevation and CO2 insufflation was a safe and valid technique for thymectomy for MG. Clinical short-term results were satisfactory.
