NOVEMBER 30, 2018

A team at the University of Stirling in the UK has found new evidence of the link between air pollution and cancer as part of a new occupational health study. This new research indicates the role of traffic-related air pollution in contributing to the increasing incidence of breast cancer in the general population.

AUGUST 4, 2009

Researchers at Syracuse University (New York) have developed a method to prepare, inject and combust supercritical (SC) diesel fuel. Heat required to bring the fuel to SC states is recovered from the exhaust gas of the engine. To attenuate that risk, the researchers use a diluent such as CO 2 , H 2 O or exhaust gas. Anitescu et.
