Kinetics of CH2OO Criegee intermediate reactions with SO2, NO2, NO, H2O and CH3CHO CH2I radical NO2 are reported as a function pressure at 295 K. Measurements were made under pseudo-first-order conditions using flash photolysis CH2I2–O2–N2 gas mixtures in the presence excess co-reagent combined monitoring HCHO reaction products by laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) spectroscopy and, for direct detection photoionisation mass spectrometry (PIMS). Rate coefficients + SO2 independent ranges...
This study provides results from measurements of methane emissions three onshore LNG liquefaction facilities and two regasification across different regions using the Differential Absorption Lidar (DIAL) technique. The measurement approach was to quantify, at each facility, key functional elements (FEs), defined as spatially separable areas related identified processes. DIAL technique enabled quantification FE level, allowing emission factors (EFs) be determined for activity data....
A white-grained wheat accession, AUS1408, is a current major source of pre-harvest sprouting (PHS) tolerance in Australian breeding programs. This study has located 2 significant quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for its grain dormancy on 4AL and 5BL. Their associations with seed have been determined from population-level marker-trait (with 3 years phenotype data) confirmed by transmission/disequilibrium test selected advanced lines. The QTL was expressed all testing, phenotypic variance...
Treatment of dividing plant cells with caffeine inhibits their cytokinesis, thereby inducing the formation binucleate that contain polyploid nuclei. This study was undertaken to determine whether treatments would induce chromosome doubling and seed set in haploids common wheat (Triticum aestivum L. em. Thell.) through further development diploid Ten sterile haploid plants, obtained agency corn (Zea mays L.) pollination, were multiplied by vegetative propagation (subdivision well-tillered...
Kinetics of CH<sub>2</sub>OO + SO<sub>2</sub> confirmed over a wide range [SO<sub>2</sub>]. Acetaldehyde observed as major product the reaction CH<sub>3</sub>CHOO SO<sub>2</sub>.

Industries, governments, and regulators need trustworthy emissions data to enable them make informed decisions regarding methane abatement strategy policies. There are many differing reporting metrics, as well...
Methyl radicals (15% at 1–2 Torr He) have been detected as primary products from the reaction of OH with acetaldehyde.
Reciprocal backcross lines of two crosses were used to study the inheritance and linkage relationships gliadin bands 42 45, as determined by polyacrylimide gel electrophoresis, glume color in durum wheat (Triticum turgidum L.). Glume was monogenically inherited, with partial dominance buff color. Gliadin 45 each controlled one gene, located 7.87 ± 2.39 10.32 2.44 crossover units, respectively, from gene for band always associated 31 35. Gluten strength, sodium dodecyl sulphate sedimentation...
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a known greenhouse gas and one of the largest contributors to global warming in Earth’s atmosphere. The remote detection measurement CO2 from industrial emissions are not routinely carried out typically calculated fuel combusted or measured directly within ducted vents. However, these methods applicable for quantification fugitive CO2. This work presents results using differential absorption lidar (DIAL) technique at wavelength ~2 µm. DIAL measurements compare well...
The quickly developing drone technology can be used efficiently in the field of pipeline leak detection. aim this article is to provide mission concepts for detecting releases from pipelines. It provides an overview current applications natural gas surveys, it considers environmental conditions by plume modelling, discusses suitable commercially available sensors, and develops routine monitoring pipelines short term missions localising identifying a known leakage. Suitable platforms depend...
