Burning fat fuels photoreceptors

Nature Medicine, 2016
Current dogma suggests that high-energy–consuming photoreceptors depend on glucose. A new study reveals that the retina also uses fatty acid b-oxidation for energy, and that dysregulated lipid and glucose photoreceptor energy metabolism may drive neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD).

Burning the fuel

2000
Abstract The steam locomotive was originally developed for the private railways in the coalfields of Britain, and, not surprisingly, coal was used as the source of heat. Almost immediately after public railways had subsequently started to spread across the country, legislation, in response to public opinion, required locomotives ‘to ...

Burning Uncleaned Solid Fuels

Volume 1: Fuels and Combustion, Material Handling, Emissions; Steam Generators; Heat Exchangers and Cooling Systems; Turbines, Generators and Auxiliaries; Plant Operations and Maintenance, 2013
The purpose of this presentation is to qualify a method of continuously and efficiently burning “dirty” solid fuels. Thus, the fuel cost is reduced and a significant savings is realized. Looking back on the many years of burning coal, a Preparation Plant was always involved in its supply.

Burning Fossil Fuels

International Journal of Health Services, 2015
A recent, sophisticated granular analysis of climate change in the United States related to burning fossil fuels indicates a high likelihood of dramatic increases in temperature, wet-bulb temperature, and precipitation, which will dramatically impact the health and well-being of many Americans, particularly the young, the elderly, and the poor and ...

Gas Turbines Burning Dirty Fuels

Volume 1B: General, 1976
Because of the increasing need for electricity and of the rising prices for oil and natural gas, turbines using other fuels are again becoming of interest. Waste gases, such as blast-furnace gases, or pulverized coal are under discussion as fuels. These fuels mostly contain very high proportions of dust and dirt.

Burning rate of fuel cylinders

Combustion and Flame, 1978
Abstract The mass burning rate of a horizontal fuel cylinder at low Grashof numbers is analyzed using a semiempirical method. The method consists of utilizing the Schvab-Zeldovich formulation with a flame-sheet model and measured flame standoff distances.
