The range of satisfactory operation for a gas burner, defined by light-back, blow-off and incomplete combustion is limited. The variation in gas analyses, particularly higher hydrocarbons and inerts, can influence the range of operation. This has led to the definition of different groups of natural gas. A practical effect is that burners designed for the European continent may not be suitable for the UK without adjustment. This does not apply to forced-draft burners. [Pg.275]

Figure 4 shows the concentration range determined for each investigated drug and metabolite in the surface and wastewaters collected in the Ebro River basin, and its comparison with the drug levels found in similar studies carried out in other locations of Spain [6, 7,12,13,19, 31-33] and in various countries of the American [5, 10, 15, 22, 23] and the European continents [8, 9, 11, 14, 16-18, 21, 24-30]. Drug residue levels found in influent and effluent wastewaters from the Ebro River basin were mostly between the minimum and maximum concentrations described for these compounds in the peer-reviewed literature. Only, few compounds, e.g.,... [Pg.196]

Time magazine had recently reported some cases of cutaneous anthrax appearing on the European continent. Sandals, made in India and cut from leather cured in cow dung, were the source. Consulting my textbooks, 1 found a description of anthrax skin lesions that seemed very much like the one between my distal digits. (Of course, 1 had never seen a case of anthrax, and my... [Pg.27]

ORIGIN OF NAME Named after the continent America because Europium was named after the European continent. [Pg.321]

Industrialisation lead to mass production with the characteristic feature of the division of the work process into smaller individual steps and the simplest hand movements, which each worker repeated incessantly. Different parts only fit together if they are made according to a standard. For example the inch is used as the unit for HPLC parts almost everywhere in the world, screws on the European continent have metric sizes and in the US the inch still common. [Pg.2]

Data on past atmospheric concentrations of POPs is scarce. However, alpine lake ecosystems can be used as sentinel ecosystems to reconstruct the atmospheric pollution load over the European continent [50, 51, 65, 66]. [Pg.88]

Obviously, uncertainties are inherent to measurements of atmospheric POPs and emission estimates. Furthermore, the coverage of monitoring stations may not encompass all different European environments [78, 79]. Nevertheless, the published data gives an appraisal of the atmospheric POP concentrations over the European continent. As an example, the year-round trend of PCB concentration and... [Pg.91]

Other POPs, such as y-HCH, showed very significant reductions in the ambient air concentrations, which was in agreement with the reductions of emissions from agriculture. The concentrations of these compounds in northern Europe are at present between 1 and 4 pg/m3 and around 20 pg/m3 in central Europe. On the other hand, HCB did not show any decrease in atmospheric levels and remained around 50 pg/m3 on the European continent and at 5 pg/m3 in Iceland. [Pg.95]

In 1812 he was knighted by the prince regent for his contributions to electrochemistry, married a wealthy widow Jane Apreece, and was thus able to retire from the Royal Institution at the age of thirty-four, although he remained the director of its laboratory. It was in this capacity that he appointed Michael Faraday as an assistant in the laboratory early in 1813. Later that year with his wife, her maid, and Faraday as an assistant, amanuensis (scribe), and reluctant valet, Davy embarked on an eighteen-month tour of the European continent, visiting many laboratories and sites of natural and cultural interest. On their return, Davy invented, with Faraday s assistance, the miners safety lamp, which reinforced his reputation in applied science. With a confidence that was shared by all romantics of the time, Davy believed that nothing was beyond his reach, and in 1820 he was elected president of the Royal Society The U K. National Royal Society. This was a position he was ill-equipped to undertake after... [Pg.4]

The situation was considerably different on the European continent, chiefly in France and Germany, where there was a heavy dependency on experiments involving major surgery on unanesthetized animals (accounts of some of these experiments have been described as horrifying to read ). The difference in viewpoint toward the use of animals in research, particularly in France, can be ascribed to the influence of Descartes and his views on animals. Regardless of the reasons behind Descartes position, his assertions provided the rationalization for vivisection research by the famous French experimentalists Francois Magendie (1783-1855) and Claude Bernard (1813-1878). Ironically, despite Bernard s reputation as an eminent experimentalist, his wife and two daughters became passionate antivivisectionists. [Pg.318]

The Black Sea region is crossed by major international transport corridors that support considerable freight and passenger traffic among the countries. Here, the four most significant transport arteries of the European continent pass—the so-called Crete corridors—third, fifth, seventh and ninth, as well as corridors Europe-Caucasus-Asia (TRASECA) and north-south (Baltic Sea-Black Sea) ensuring transport finks of the Black Sea ports with the countries of Central and Eastern Europe. Of particular importance for the economics... [Pg.427]

Which just goes to show how much value is put in a captive market by the dominant financial elites. Those who meticulously planned to extend economic hegemony over the furthest reaches of the European continent as far back as the turn of the last century would, of course, have not even blinked at meddling in Latin America, long regarded as America s own backyard. [Pg.15]

Like the whole of the Classical Karst of Slovenia, the area investigated lies on the Adriatic sub-plate, a part of the African macroplate. The contact with the European continent lies about 80km to the north. During the last 2 Ma, changes in the motion of the Adriatic sub - plate have led to the establishment of several dextral strike - slip faults of Dinaric trend (i.e. southeast to northwest direction). As a reflection of its 12 km displacement and ongoing neotectonic activity, the Idria Fault is usually considered the... [Pg.124]

Vitex agnus-castus (chaste tree, hemp tree, monk s pepper) is a plant with estrogen-like activities, used for a variety of gynecological problems, particularly on the European continent, particularly premenstrual symptoms (1). [Pg.3622]
