Automobile history

This was the first time in the history of the State that an individual was convicted of murder based upon an automobile collision while under the influence of PCP.

Note that the chemical dimensions do not yield such robust "markers", or tracers, as the isotopic dimensions. For a given combustion source, for example, one is apt to find chemical--but not isotopic—fractionation varying significantly with time, particle size, particle history (differential volatilization or reaction), etc. The ratio K/Fe, for example, was quite different in the fine and coarse fractions from a slash burn (1.5 vs. 0.3) [33] and Pb/Br, which has been popular as an automobile exhaust tracer, varies with the "age" of urban particles [22]. 

Compact discs (CDs), which may be found in over 25 million American homes, not to mention backpacks and automobiles, first entered popular culture in the 1980s. But their history goes back to the 1960s, when an inventor named James Russell decided to create an alterna-(5) five to his scratched and warped phonograph records—a system that could record, store, and replay music without ever wearing out. 

Detroit s electric cars have a shaky history since the market can change rapidly in the automobile industry, which is dependent on long lead times for new models. In 1975, when memories of the oil embargo were fresh, Detroit s cars were still growing in size, but it was a record sales year for the Volkswagen Beetle and sales of Toyotas and Hondas reached 100,000 that year. GM s profits dropped 35% and the company had to temporarily close 15 of its 22 assembly plants. 

A 60-year-old man with a history of moderate chronic obstructive pulmonary disease presents in the emergency department with a broken hip suffered in an automobile accident. He complains of severe pain. What is the most appropriate immediate treatment for his pain Are any special precautions needed ... 

Brief History. A.S. is a 47-year-old concert musician who experienced a progressive decline in renal function that ultimately led to renal failure. Kidney function was maintained artificially through renal dialysis until a suitable kidney transplant became available from a donor who died in an automobile accident. The kidney was transplanted successfully, and A.S. was placed on a prophylactic regimen of three different immunosuppressive drugs to prevent the rejection of the transplanted kidney. At the time of the transplant, cyclosporine was initiated at a dosage of 10 mg/kg of body weight... 

Perhaps the most significant distinction in the way people think about microtechnology and nanotechnology however, is not a matter of scale, hut a philosophy of materials science. For almost all of human history, people have made new products hy starting out with a hunk of material and hacking it down to just the right size and shape. Early humans used hard rock to chip hone, wood, and other materials into arrows and spearheads. Today, complex machinery is used to hend, twist, cut, meld, and otherwise shape aluminum, steel, and other materials into automobile bodies, skyscraper skeletons, refrigerators, and other objects. 

During World War II in Germany, automobiles were fueled by the gases produced from thermal decomposition of wood and research is ongoing today on the more efficient gasification of wood. Destructive distillation has been used throughout most recorded history to obtain turpentine from pinewood, as discussed later in the chapter. 

ABE (acetone, butanol, and ethanol) fermentation has a long history of commercial use and perhaps the greatest potential for an industrial comeback. Acetone, butanol, and ethanol can all be isolated from this remarkable metabolic system carbon dioxide and hydrogen are additional products. The solvents were used as paint solvents in the expanding automobile industry. Ultimately these processes proved uncompetitive because of poor yields, low product... 

Throughout human history, people have collected petroleum to burn in lamps to provide light. They found petroleum seeping from cracks in rocks in certain locations. In fact, the word petroleum literally means "rock oil" and is derived from the Latin words for rock petra) and oil oleum). In the 19th century, as the U.S. entered the machine age and its population increased, the demand for petroleum to produce kerosene for lighting and as a machine lubricant also increased. Because there was no reliable petroleum supply, Edwin Drake drilled the first oil well in the United States near Titusville, Pennsylvania in 1859. The oil industry flourished for a time, but when Edison introduced the electric light in 1882, investors feared that the industry was doomed. However, the invention of the automobile in the 1890s soon revived the industry on a massive scale. 

The chemical industry has a long history of product and process innovation and has provided enormous benefits to society. Since the late 19th century the industry has continually developed new products and processes, improved its functionality and cost-effectiveness, and displaced many traditional materials. Its products are now integrated into many economic sectors and it has a history of collaborating with its customers to develop innovative solutions. As a result there has been a dramatic increase in the use of chemicals and plastics, and these have provided tremendous cost savings as well as improved functionality (Sherman, Chapter 4, Section 4.6 of this volume). Safer and more efficient automobiles, and large-scale... 

Often the main assumption in studies of technology adoption is technological determinism—that technologies such as automobiles, electricity, and telephones have steered history. We do not follow this view. We argue that successful technologies are those that are in synchrony with the major trends of history. This is our hypothesis about FCVs and mobile electricity that these technologies might succeed because they follow the main trends of history. 

An automobile manufacturer that has a past history of applying sound pollution prevention procedures to its processes has proposed to construct a plant in a nonattaimnent area in Pennsylvania. The required offset is to be obtained by replacing emulsion asphalt by a waterborne mix. The area has traditionally used 200,000 Ib/month of medium setting emulsion asphalt. Calculate the maximum annual offset (20%) if this conversion is adopted.
