For a practical view on working with carbon monoxide cells, I reached out to [Victor Aprea] of Wicked Device. [Victor] created the Air Quality Egg, an open source air quality measurement device. Victor found that getting accurate carbon monoxide readings requires more than just reading the sensor. Sensor response curves change based upon environmental conditions. Temperature is the big one – CO readings can be off as much as 15% in extreme temperature situations. Atmospheric pressure is another factor, as are the influence of other gasses. [Victor] spent quite a bit of time working out the curves and modifying the firmware of the Air Quality Egg to compensate. He wrote several informative blogs on his work: here, here, and here. [Victor] also has found cross-sensitivity with other gasses is an issue. Thankfully for the particular CO sensors used in the Air Quality Egg it isn’t quite as big a problem as the environmental issues.

However, there is also a converse argument. Some analysts are pointing out that the recent state elections were contested mostly on local issues, without major campaigning efforts from Modi. As a result, they argue that the BJP would do significantly better in the upcoming national vote, with the prime minister personally leading the campaign and telling people that their choice is between a decisive and charismatic leader like himself and an unknown person at the helm of an inherently unstable and non-ideological coalition.

Carbon monoxide can always be found in small amounts in the human body. The molecule is known to have some therapeutic anti-inflammatory effects in humans. At higher concentrations though, CO becomes incredibly toxic. The most frightening part about carbon monoxide poisoning is the method in which it operates. Hemoglobin is the molecule in red blood cells which carries oxygen. Hemoglobin loads up with oxygen in the lungs, becoming oxyhemoglobin. The circulatory system then carries this oxyhemoglobin throughout the body, where it delivers its payload to muscles and organs. Carbon monoxide also bonds to hemoglobin, creating carboxyhemoglobin. In fact, the bond is over 200 times stronger than oxygen. This means carboxyhemoglobin doesn’t separate so easily. The carboxyhemoglobin essentially becomes an inert molecule riding through the circulatory system, starving the organs of oxygen.

The Pro Fry is versatile enough that you can steam vegetables with it, too. You basically just fill the fryer with water instead of oil, turn up the heat, and put the cover on. It’s also helpful to keep the cover on when frying with oil to avoid splattering. When done, you can store the oil in the fryer and reuse it until your food starts to come out too greasy.

In contrast, an exhibition of true “secularism” would be open-ended, either agnostic or, at the other extreme, in a country like India where faith is so central, multi-religious. Most importantly, at its heart, true secularism would be driven by universal values of truth, compassion and equality, which are fundamental values that straddle all religions.

Christo spent a semester at the Vienna Fine Arts Academy, then pressed on again: to Geneva for a few months, then to Paris, the most compelling place for a young artist to be at the time. He arrived there in March 1958. Before too long, he had met Pierre Restany, then the intellectual explicator for the nouveaux réalistes, a group that included Yves Klein, Jean Tinguely and Arman and was dedicated to the transformation into art of “ready-made” objects from everyday life; he became, as he puts it, a “side element” of the group and showed with it once, in 1963. Through a German collector in Wuppertal, he also met members of a more performance-oriented international set. And, supporting himself as he had since his Prague days by painting impressionist-style portraits of the well-to-do, he met Jeanne-Claude de Vuillebon, the daughter of a French general.

Galane has already refurbished the existing 15,000 tonnes per month (“tpm”) processing plant at Galaxy and the upgrade will increase the plant capacity to 30,000 tpm.

bond     (in chemistry) A semi-permanent attachment between atoms — or groups of atoms — in a molecule. It’s formed by an attractive force between the participating atoms. Once bonded, the atoms will work as a unit. To separate the component atoms, energy must be supplied to the molecule as heat or some other type of radiation.

Broccoli is said to be one of the best natural blood purifiers that helps remove toxins from the body. This veggie comes loaded with calcium, vitamin C, omega-3 fatty acids, dietary fibre, potassium, manganese, phosphorus and glucosinolates. Regular consumption of broccoli ensures loading up on antioxidants that help detoxify blood and boost the immunity system. Toss it in your salads and include it in your everyday delicacies. Here’s how you can include more broccoli in your diet.

Progeroid laminopathies are genetic conditions of accelerated aging caused by a constellation of mutations in the lamin A and/or Zmpste24 genes yielding farnesylated proteins that are distinct from progerin. These genetic mutations result in disease manifestations with phenotypes that overlap with, but are distinct from, progeria.
