The first involved injecting each one with a tiny oil droplet, forming an optical cavity which could be filled with fluorescent dye.

Other uses might include engineering oil-eating bacteria to use on a spill. They could be killed off
#Oil and gas companies target coal industry as climate deal comes closer As the global climate deal draws closer,
oil and gas companies are claiming that coal is the major factor that is posing a threat to climate.
A letter was sent to UN climate officials who are working on a major climate deal to be adopted in Paris in December by six major European oil
According to them, natural gas and oil are so much part of the problem. However, gas produced by many oil companies release about half the CO2 EMISSIONS of coal fired plants and lower levels of air pollution.
Many environmental advocacy groups are skeptic behind the attacks of oil-and-gas industry's on coal.

About 13 million tonnes of it is extracted annually from oil, and used to produce various types of fuels, plastics and elastomers.
"It's basically how we're moving away from an oil-based economy towards something that has a renewable, sustainable future to it."
Large oil filled transformers are found in all power and switching stations as well as in many large buildings.
All large transformers use oil for insulation and cooling as this greatly reduces energy losses and improves reliability compared to dry type transformers.
The increasing focus on energy efficiency actions might also enforce a substitution of many smaller dry isolated transformers with oil filled transformers.
The arc which occurs in such situations makes the oil evaporate and form combustible gasses.
The fire may also be fed with oil from the tank. If so it will keep burning Two different measures are adopted usually to prevent fire and explosion incidents of this sort:#

when the electric arc is burning causing the pressure in the oil and gas to rise dramatically.
Combustible gases and oil can leak out of gaskets and penetrators which may ignite fires or explosions.
Organelles are composed primarily of lipids--substances like fats and oils, so-called secondary gene products for

#New method for rapid authentication of edible oils and screening of gutter oils Researchers in Hong kong have developed a new method for rapid authentication of edible oils and screening of gutter oils.
The Food safety and Technology Research Centre under the Department of Applied Biology and Chemical Technology of The Hong kong Polytechnic University (Polyu) has developed a new method for rapid authentication of edible oils and screening
of gutter oils. Authentication of edible oils has been a long-term issue in food safety, and becomes particularly important with the emergence and widespread use of gutter oils in recent years.
However the conventional analytical approach for edible oils is not only labor intensive and time consuming,
but also fails to provide a versatile solution for screening of gutter oils. By setting up a simple analytical protocol and a spectral library of edible oils, the new approach is able to determine the authenticity of a labeled edible oil sample
and hence screened gutter oils within five minutes. The conventional approach for edible oil authentication involves labor-intensive
and time-consuming sample pretreatment and the subsequent chromatographic separation to separate complex sample mixture before mass spectrometric detection, a commonly used technology for identification and quantitation of chemical compounds.
The whole process takes a few hours to analyze one sample. On the other hand identification of gutter oils mainly involves detection of certain food residue markers or toxic and carcinogenic chemicals in the sample.
However, due to the vast diversity of gutter oils, and the fact that target compounds could be removed by processing,
a universal strategy to screen gutter oils is not available at present. Polyu researchers have developed a simplified method for direct analysis of edible oils using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI-MS). In the new MALDI-MS
approach, only simple sample preparation, automatic data acquisition and simple data processing are involved. High quality and highly reproducible MALDI-MS spectra results can be obtained using this method
and a preliminary spectral database of labeled edible oils available in the market has been set up.
Since different types of edible oils have different MALDI-MS spectral patterns, the authenticity of an edible oil sample can then be determined within five minutes by comparing its MALDI-MS spectrum with those of its labeled oil in the established database.
Since this method is capable of authenticating edible oils, it also enables a rapid screening of gutter oils,
given fraudulent mislabeling is a common feature of gutter oils. The related paper has been published recently on Analytica Chimica Acta.
The research team will establish a more complete MALDI spectral library of various edible oils in the coming two years
and improve the library searching technique. In addition, more testing of edible oil samples with different MALDI-MS equipment will be carried out to further validate the new approach h
#Discovery could lead to personalized colon cancer treatment approach A UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center discovery of just how a certain tumor suppressor molecule works to prevent tumor growth could lead to a personalized treatment
approach for colon cancer. In a study published in the journal Nature Medicine, the researchers reported that the tumor-suppressing protein AIM2,
or Absent in Melanoma 2, helps prevent colon cancer by restricting a signaling molecule called Akt.
With this finding, the researchers believe theye found a possible drug target for colon cancer patients who lack the tumor suppressor AIM2. everal studies
and clinical evidence suggest AIM2 functions as a tumor suppressor, but until now, wee had very little direct evidence to explains how this occurs,
and also improve transmission through the lenslet sandwich they used an optical oil, which allows small motors using a minimal amount of force for the mechanical tracking. he vision is that such a microtracking CPV panel could be placed on a roof in the same space as a traditional solar panel
Self-pollinating crops such as rice, wheat and other cereals, soy beans and certain vegetable-derived oils
and the BP energy company. ee combined chemical catalysis with life-cycle greenhouse gas modeling to create a new process for producing bio-based aviation fuel as well as automotive lubricant base oils,
or automotive lubricant base oils. Lubricant base oils can produce even more greenhouse gas emissions on a per-mass basis than petroleum-derived fuels
if even a fraction of the lubricant is repurposed as fuel. The ability of the EBI process to yield jet fuel
and lubricant base oils could allow for operators to manage their market risks better, which is exactly how petrochemical refinery complexes operate today.
Although the goal of this study was to develop a strategy for the flexible production of jet fuels and lubricant base oils in a Brazilian sugarcane refinery,
