In the world of alternative fuels, electric, hydrogen and even hybrid vehicles get most of the attention. Not many people are aware of another alternative automotive fuel that burns cleaner than gasoline, is found abundantly in the United States and is already in heavy use around the world: natural gas. Natural gas is by no means a new fuel; it’s been used to heat homes and cook food in gas stoves for more than a century. But only recently have automotive technicians begun exploring the possibility of using natural gas as an alternative to gasoline in automobiles here in the United States.

How it Works

When used in automobiles, natural gas comes in two forms:
• Compressed natural gas (CNG)
• Liquefied natural gas (LNG)
Both forms require storage in cylinders that are often located in the trunk of the vehicle. When being burned by an engine, natural gas works very similarly to gasoline; vehicles that run on natural gas will have spark plug timing and compression optimized for that type of fuel. ]]> Mon, 21 May 2012 06:22:04 MDT discountcore Environ & Climate 3 http://www.discountcore.com/EnvironmentandClimate/alternative-fuels-%E2%80%93-cars-that-run-on-natural-gas/ http://www.discountcore.com/EnvironmentandClimate/expect-the-unexpected-to-happen-with-climate-change/
One of my colleagues, Molly Henderson recently completed a Masters Degree program class on scientific research which focused on climate change, which she aced (way to go, Molly!). For her final research paper, she examined the consequences of climate change on the prevalence of water-borne diseases in the US Great Lakes region. ]]> Mon, 21 May 2012 06:22:01 MDT discountcore Environ & Climate 3 http://www.discountcore.com/EnvironmentandClimate/expect-the-unexpected-to-happen-with-climate-change/ http://www.discountcore.com/EnvironmentandClimate/epa-protect-yourself-from-the-sun-this-summer/ Mon, 21 May 2012 06:21:59 MDT discountcore Environ & Climate 3 http://www.discountcore.com/EnvironmentandClimate/epa-protect-yourself-from-the-sun-this-summer/ http://www.discountcore.com/EnvironmentandClimate/happy-happy-parents/ Mon, 21 May 2012 06:21:59 MDT discountcore Environ & Climate 3 http://www.discountcore.com/EnvironmentandClimate/happy-happy-parents/ http://www.discountcore.com/EnvironmentandClimate/lose-weight-while-you-sleep/
Research into the circadian clock that regulates our sleep-wake cycle shows disruptions to the clock may be linked to metabolic disorders such as obesity and type-2 diabetes.

And researchers say sleeping for eight hours a night and eating during daylight hours could be as important in controlling weight gain as diet and exercise.

Gad Asher, clinician and medical researcher from the Department of Biological Chemistry at Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel, presented research to a Garvan Institute seminar on obesity in Melbourne last night that found every cell in the body has a circadian clock. ]]> Mon, 21 May 2012 06:21:59 MDT discountcore Environ & Climate 3 http://www.discountcore.com/EnvironmentandClimate/lose-weight-while-you-sleep/ http://www.discountcore.com/ComputerandIT/database-consistency-and-the-codasyl-dbtg-proposals/ Mon, 21 May 2012 06:21:43 MDT discountcore Computer and IT 3 http://www.discountcore.com/ComputerandIT/database-consistency-and-the-codasyl-dbtg-proposals/ http://www.discountcore.com/ComputerandIT/an-object-oriented-data-model-for-database-modelling-implementation-and-access/ Mon, 21 May 2012 06:21:43 MDT discountcore Computer and IT 3 http://www.discountcore.com/ComputerandIT/an-object-oriented-data-model-for-database-modelling-implementation-and-access/ http://www.discountcore.com/ComputerandIT/an-algorithm-for-polynomial-operations/ Mon, 21 May 2012 06:21:43 MDT discountcore Computer and IT 3 http://www.discountcore.com/ComputerandIT/an-algorithm-for-polynomial-operations/ http://www.discountcore.com/ComputerandIT/curve-smoothing-techniques-using-b-splines/ Mon, 21 May 2012 06:21:43 MDT discountcore Computer and IT 3 http://www.discountcore.com/ComputerandIT/curve-smoothing-techniques-using-b-splines/ http://www.discountcore.com/ComputerandIT/algorithm-for-drawing-ellipses-or-hyperbolae-with-a-digital-plotter/ Mon, 21 May 2012 06:21:42 MDT discountcore Computer and IT 3 http://www.discountcore.com/ComputerandIT/algorithm-for-drawing-ellipses-or-hyperbolae-with-a-digital-plotter/ http://www.discountcore.com/Health/task-force-recommends-team-based-care-for-improving-blood-pressure/ Related MedlinePlus Page: High Blood Pressure ]]> Mon, 21 May 2012 06:21:30 MDT discountcore Health 3 http://www.discountcore.com/Health/task-force-recommends-team-based-care-for-improving-blood-pressure/ http://www.discountcore.com/Health/fda-statement-regarding-azithromycin-zithromax-and-the-risk-of-cardiovascular-death/ Related MedlinePlus Page: Antibiotics ]]> Mon, 21 May 2012 06:21:30 MDT discountcore Health 3 http://www.discountcore.com/Health/fda-statement-regarding-azithromycin-zithromax-and-the-risk-of-cardiovascular-death/ http://www.discountcore.com/Health/lose-weight-lose-a-risk/ Related MedlinePlus Pages: Cancer, Weight Control ]]> Mon, 21 May 2012 06:21:30 MDT discountcore Health 3 http://www.discountcore.com/Health/lose-weight-lose-a-risk/ http://www.discountcore.com/Health/sunscreen-remains-a-safe-effective-form-of-sun-protection/ Related MedlinePlus Pages: Skin Cancer, Sun Exposure ]]> Mon, 21 May 2012 06:21:30 MDT discountcore Health 3 http://www.discountcore.com/Health/sunscreen-remains-a-safe-effective-form-of-sun-protection/ http://www.discountcore.com/Health/men-over-50-need-to-get-in-the-swing-of-preventing-and-detecting-skin-cancer/ Related MedlinePlus Page: Skin Cancer ]]> Mon, 21 May 2012 06:21:30 MDT discountcore Health 3 http://www.discountcore.com/Health/men-over-50-need-to-get-in-the-swing-of-preventing-and-detecting-skin-cancer/ http://www.discountcore.com/Oncology/treating-alk-positive-lung-cancer%E2%80%94early-successes-and-future-challenges/ Mon, 21 May 2012 06:21:17 MDT discountcore Oncology 3 http://www.discountcore.com/Oncology/treating-alk-positive-lung-cancer%E2%80%94early-successes-and-future-challenges/ http://www.discountcore.com/Oncology/the-role-of-aspirin-in-cancer-prevention/ Mon, 21 May 2012 06:21:17 MDT discountcore Oncology 3 http://www.discountcore.com/Oncology/the-role-of-aspirin-in-cancer-prevention/ http://www.discountcore.com/Oncology/breast-cancer-risk-and-mortality-after-oestrogen-alone-therapy%E2%80%94is-it-safe/ Mon, 21 May 2012 06:21:17 MDT discountcore Oncology 3 http://www.discountcore.com/Oncology/breast-cancer-risk-and-mortality-after-oestrogen-alone-therapy%E2%80%94is-it-safe/ http://www.discountcore.com/Oncology/breast-cancer-aromatase-inhibitors%E2%80%94bone-health-assessment-is-crucial/ Mon, 21 May 2012 06:21:16 MDT discountcore Oncology 3 http://www.discountcore.com/Oncology/breast-cancer-aromatase-inhibitors%E2%80%94bone-health-assessment-is-crucial/ http://www.discountcore.com/Health/paediatrics-kidney-disease-in-youth-onset-type-2-diabetes-mellitus/ Mon, 21 May 2012 06:21:14 MDT discountcore Health 3 http://www.discountcore.com/Health/paediatrics-kidney-disease-in-youth-onset-type-2-diabetes-mellitus/
