Sorel cement was originally invented in 1867, and it's the beautiful chemical marriage of magnesium oxide and local sand, which they can now use to print solid stone walls.
If you look at carbon dioxide from burning tropical rainforest, or methane coming from cows and rice, or nitrous oxide from too many fertilizers, it turns out agriculture is 30 percent of the greenhouse gases going into the atmosphere from human activity.
Most agricultural emissions come from tropical deforestation, methane from animals and rice fields, and nitrous oxide from over-fertilizing.
But I also became interested in research, and in particular I became interested in this substance, nitric oxide.
And they were the first people to describe this new chemical transmitter, nitric oxide.
What nitric oxide does is it dilates blood vessels, so it lowers your blood pressure.
And I started doing research, and we found, very excitingly, that the skin produces nitric oxide.
We thought that maybe nitric oxide affected cell death, and how cells survive, and their resistance to other things.
It seemed we couldn't turn off the production of nitric oxide in the skin of humans.
We couldn't turn off the nitric oxide.
So we used ultraviolet A, which doesn't make vitamin D. When we put people under a lamp for the equivalent of about 30 minutes of sunshine in summer in Edinburgh, what we produced was, we produced a rise in circulating nitric oxide.
So what you can do is you can multiply those data by the NO that's released and you can calculate how much nitric oxide would be released from the skin into the circulation.
And you just, literally, have to send little nuclear factories up there that gobble up the iron oxide on the surface of Mars and spit out the oxygen.
These rockets use experimental motors like nitrous oxide.
Nitrous oxide became popular in the decades that followed and is still used today.
Before World War II, it was common for manufacturers of ceramic dinnerware to use uranium oxide in colored glazes.
When water enters these tiny cracks, it hydrates the concrete’s calcium oxide.
Macrophages secrete enzymes too, together with nitric oxide radicals, which create a chemical reaction that degrades the object over time.
See, decomposition releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, as well as other greenhouse gases such as methane and nitrous oxide, but it also releases all the nutrients we all need to survive.
Enzymes may also offer some help in capturing greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide.
Its humour is reminiscent of the Pink Panther scene, where Dreyfus and Clouseau, stoned on nitrous oxide, laugh at Dreyfus's melting face.
Several gases, including carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide, warm the planet as their concentrations in the atmosphere increase.
Thus, Swiss researchers caused excitement in 1986 by announcing the discovery of superconductivity in an oxide of copper at twice the temperature of the previous record holder.
Instead, they have focused on strategies for preventing the kidneys from filtering the infused hemoglobin; the hemoglobin from leaking through the blood-vessel walls; and synthetic hemoglobin from destroying nitric oxide (a gas produced in blood vessels that helps them to dilate and increase blood flow).
Some researchers consider the reaction with nitric oxide the most problematic, because it raises blood pressure.
This is because the animal sector is responsible for a third of all anthropogenic methane and two-thirds of nitrous oxide emissions – both potent greenhouse gases that trap more heat than carbon dioxide.
But, as the conservative author David Frum notes, over the last two decades, the US has experienced a swift decline in crime, auto fatalities, alcohol and tobacco consumption, and emissions of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide, which cause acid rain – all while leading an Internet revolution.
Gas is also better for local air quality, owing to the absence of the sulfur dioxide, nitrous oxide, mercury, and particulates emitted by burning coal.
Human-induced climate change stems from two principal sources of emissions of greenhouse gases (mainly carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide): fossil-fuel use for energy and agriculture (including deforestation to create new farmland and pastureland).
Reductions of other greenhouse gases, such as nitric oxide, are attainable through clever combustor design.
