Oxygen therapy in respiratory disorders [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
PhDOxygen therapy remains a cornerstone of medical practice and is generally regarded as being safe. However, there is a lack of clinical evidence to support the routine use of oxygen therapy, and in certain conditions, injudicious oxygen may cause harm.

Estimating Mean Residence Time of Groundwater in Central Basin/Erbil using Environmental Isotopes

open access: yesZanco Journal of Pure and Applied Sciences, 2023
The average time of input water needs to recharge the groundwater basin and reach a catchment outlet, whether it follows a vertical or horizontal flow direction, is known as the mean residence time (MRT).

The role of the artificial ponds for the conservation of mammals in the state of Santa Catarina

open access: yesRevista Ambiente & Água, 2022
Man has profoundly modified the upper valley of the Uruguay River and its basin. The plains of these valleys and the lower areas of the hills have been modified for agricultural production, leaving small patches of wild forest on the tops of the hills ...

Seasonal enrichment of heavy isotopes in meltwater runoff from Haig Glacier, Canadian Rocky Mountains

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2023
Glacier melt provides an important source of freshwater, particularly during dry years and late in the summer, after most of the seasonal snow has melted.

Applicability study of deuterium excess in bottled water life cycle analyses

open access: yesGeologija, 2014
Paper explores the possible use of d‑excess in the investigation of bottled water. Based on the data set from Brencic and Vreca’s paper (2006). Identification of sources and production processes of bottled waters by stable hydrogen and oxygen isotope ...

Oxygen therapy: professional compliance with national guidelines [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
One of the major causes of critical illness in the UK is the deterioration of respiratory function (British Thoracic Society (BTS), 2008). The administration of supplemental oxygen therapy, although often lifesaving, can also have serious consequences if

Reassessing Hydrological Processes That Control Stable Isotope Tracers in Groundwater of the Atacama Desert (Northern Chile)

open access: yesHydrology, 2017
A collection of 514 stable isotope water samples from the Atacama Desert is being reassessed geostatistically. The evaluation reveals that adjacent Andean catchments can exhibit distinct δ18O and δ2H value ranges in meteoric waters, despite similar ...

Expanding the Isotopic Toolbox to Track Monarch Butterfly (Danaus plexippus) Origins and Migration: On the Utility of Stable Oxygen Isotope (δ18O) Measurements

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2019
The measurement of naturally occurring stable hydrogen (δ2H) and carbon (δ13C) isotopes in wings of the eastern North American monarch butterflies (Danaus plexippus) have proven useful to infer natal origins of individuals overwintering in Mexico.

Investigating the reaction mechanism of dimethyl carbonate synthesis through isotopic labeling experiments

open access: yesCatalysis Communications, 2023
The synthesis of dimethyl carbonate (DMC) from carbon dioxide and methanol was studied over a ceria- zirconia mixed metal oxide. When using oxygen-18 labeled ceria-zirconia, no oxygen-18 labeled DMC or water was observed.
