Effect of feeding spent coffee grounds on the methane production in bovine rumen

The environmental impact of methane, a greenhouse gas emitted from ruminants, is a pressing issue and methods to control methane emissions from ruminants are being investigated worldwide. In this study, we investigated the effects of the administration of spent coffee grounds (SCG) on methane production in the rumen in two cows. In the control condition (days 1 and 2), the cows were fed a basic diet twice daily (roughage and concentrate), and in the SCG condition (days 1 and 2) sequentially, the cows were fed the same basic diet and administered SCG into the rumen twice daily. The methane and carbon dioxide concentrations in rumen gas were measured via a fistula after feeding on days 2 in both cases of the study. The measurements were made using a newly developed gas measurement system with a portable gas monitor, and data were obtained for the control condition and SCG condition at each measurement time. The methane ratio at each measurement time was calculated from the methane and carbon dioxide concentrations, and compared between the two conditions. Statistical analysis showed no significant difference between the two conditions in the methane ratios after the morning (P=0.108) and afternoon feedings (P=0.345). However, the methane ratios before the morning (P=0.043) and afternoon feedings (P=0.008) were significantly lower in the SCG condition than in the control condition, suggesting that the administration of SCG may suppress methane production in the rumen.journal articl

大気中メタンの精密分析

application/pdfpostprintAs a step of the study concerned with natural balances, of materials, methane in the air was measured. The method is as follows: 80ml of air is collected, cooled by liquid oxygen-active alumina system, and analyzed by gas chromatography with molecular sieves 13x. The measurement error was within ±2% at a ppm order. Methane contents reached 2.0ppm in the air of urban and industrial area, while it decreased to 1.3ppm in the suburbs. The data of every one hour showed that high polluted air gave the elevated methane contents from the natural level. The atmosphere of the area apart from cities e.g. Hokkaido and the Northeastern provinces, were investigated in 1968. As a result, natural methane was estimated to 1.28ppm on an average.departmental bulletin pape

Persistence of Respirator Use Learning

<div><p>Although retraining and repeat fit-testing are needed for respirator users, the optimal frequency is uncertain. The persistence of proper respirator donning/doffing techniques and changes in quantitative fit factor over 6 months after initial training were measured in this study. Initial training was designed for rapid rollout situations in which direct contact with well-trained occupational health professionals may be infeasible. Subjects (n = 175) were assigned randomly to use either a filtering facepiece N95 (FFR) or dual cartridge half facemask (HFM) respirator. Each was assigned randomly to one of three training methods—printed brochure, video, or computer-based training. Soon after initial training, quantitative fit and measures of proper technique were determined. These measurements were repeated 6 months later. In the six-month followup, subjects were randomized to receive either a brief reminder card or a placebo card. Total performance score, major errors, and quantitative fit all became significantly worse at 6 months. An individual's result soon after training was the most important predictor of performance 6 months later. There was a marginal not statistically significant tendency for those initially trained by video to have better protection 6 months later. The study suggests that persons who use respirators intermittently should be thoroughly retrained and reevaluated periodically.</p><p>[Supplementary materials are available for this article.

A Unique Synthesis of 5,8-Difluoro‑2<i>H</i>‑chromene Using Silicone Oil as a Solvent

A significantly improved synthesis of 5,8-difluoro-2<i>H</i>-chromene <b>1</b> using silicone oil as the reaction solvent is described. The new method eliminated the tedious workup and large quantity of waste produced via conventional methods. To our best knowledge, this is the first report of conducting an organic reaction using silicone oil as an organic solvent
