Gasoline, fuel oils, and other petroleum products are common examples of aliphatic hydrocarbons.
For example, deposition of hydrocarbons from a male's previous mating partner could affect mating behaviour of his subsequent partners.
N-alkanes (e.g. methane, ethane and propane) are mainly hydrocarbon components, and N2, CO2 and H2S are examples of the non-hydrocarbon components of natural gases.
In this work charge transfer phenomenon between the admolecule and the active site and its consequences for the bond weakening/strengthening in the adsorbed molecule are discussed on the example of unsaturated hydrocarbons (early alkenes) interacting with Cu+ cation embedded in a model of ZSM-5 zeolitic site.
We propose a full-wave pseudo-analytical numerical electromagnetic (EM) algorithm to model subsurface induction sensors, traversing planar-layered geological formations of arbitrary EM material anisotropy and loss, which are used, for example, in the exploration of hydrocarbon reserves.
Nowadays, chemical engineering has to face a new industrial context with, for example, the gradually falling of hydrocarbon reserves after 2020 2030, relocation, emerging of new domains of application (nano-micro technologies) which necessitate new solutions and knowledges … All these tendencies and demands accelerate the need of tool for design and innovation (technically, technologically).
For example, the inhalation of hydrocarbons due to air emissions from gas extraction has been reported to cause headaches, fatigue, temporary limb paralysis and unconsciousness depending on the level of exposure [1, 5].
Examples of such regulators are aryl hydrocarbon receptor AhR, pregnane X receptor PXR and constitutive androstane receptor CAR. Figure 1 illustrates how the induction or inhibition of transcription factors and enzymes contribute to drug interactions.
There are many natural examples of microorganisms that survive in hydrocarbon-rich environments [ 4, 5].
The Cenozoic East African Rift System (EARS) is an exceptional example of active continental extension, providing opportunities for furthering our understanding of hydrocarbon plays within rifts.
