As world markets for tin diminished, natural gas became Bolivia's most valuable legal export by the mid-1980s, accounting for more than half of official total earnings.
The results showed that the test lines of Stx1 were diminished by gas plasma treatment for 5, 15 and 30 min, as compared with the untreated sample (0 min) (Fig. 1a).
Thus, energetic contents unsuitable for electrical energy supply are utilized in order to diminish greenhouse gas emissions and minimize primary energy needs.
On the whole, about eight cycles later, the influence exerted by the oil rim had diminished, and the gas storage was operating smoothly.
Transmembrane pressures exceeding 400 kPa could be accommodated, with cyclic application of transmembrane pressure differentials at 230 kPa producing neither plastic deformation nor diminished performance in gas separations.
For deeper beds, however, the effectiveness of grate resistance is diminished because the gas then has more residence time within the bed to track towards the passage.
This analysis showed that the band corresponding to the A subunit of Stx1 (approximately 35 kDa) and Stx2 (approximately 35 kDa) (Russo et al. 2014) diminished after nitrogen gas plasma treatment for 5, 15, and 30 min, as compared with that of the untreated sample (0 min).
Brief though it may have been, it had important implications for Russia's energy dealings with Europe, and perhaps also for the future of benighted Belarus.A year ago, wrangling over the price of gas sold by Russia to Ukraine briefly diminished the flow of gas through Ukraine to Europe.
"The inherent advantages of natural gas have diminished in the past three or four years as superclean gasoline and diesels have come on the market because of tighter emissions regulations," said Tom Cackette, chief deputy executive director of the California Air Resources Board, which regulates emissions in the state.
Europe's anxieties over a potential cutoff of Russian gas have diminished considerably over the past year.
