A small sample of flue gas is extracted, by means of a pump, into the CEM system via a sample probe. Facilities that combust fossil fuels often use a dilution-extractive probe to dilute the sample with clean, dry air to a ratio typically between 50:1 to 200:1, but usually 100:1. Dilution is used because pure flue gas c...

Long ORFs are often used, along with other evidence, to initially identify candidate protein-coding regions or functional RNA-coding regions in a DNA sequence. The presence of an ORF does not necessarily mean that the...

Charig and Milner had proposed a piscivorous (fish-eating) diet for the closely related "Baryonyx" in 1986. This was later confirmed in 1997 with the discovery of partially digested fish scales found in the "Baryonyx" holotype. In 1998 Sereno and colleagues suggested the same dietary preference for "Suchomimus", based ...

Plasma stealth technology also faces various technical problems. For example, the plasma itself emits EM radiation, although it is usually weak and noise-like in spectrum. Also, it takes some time for plasma to be re-absorbed by the atmosphere and a trail of ionized air would be created behind the moving aircraft, but ...
