  2. Human thermoregulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_thermoregulation

    As in other mammals, human thermoregulation is an important aspect of homeostasis. In thermoregulation, body heat is generated mostly in the deep organs, especially the liver, brain, and heart, and in contraction of skeletal muscles. [1] Humans have been able to adapt to a great diversity of climates, including hot humid and hot arid.

  3. Biomedical waste - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biomedical_waste

    The intense heat generated by the plasma enables it to dispose all types of waste including municipal solid waste, biomedical waste and hazardous waste in a safe and reliable manner. [ citation needed ] Gasification can offer carbon sequestration and energy generation, reducing the carbon footprint of biomedical waste treatment.

  4. Plasma gasification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plasma_gasification

    The feedstock for plasma waste treatment is most often refuse-derived fuel, biomass waste, or both. Feedstocks may also include biomedical waste and hazardous materials. Content and consistency of the waste directly impacts performance of a plasma facility. Pre-sorting to extract treatable material for the gasification provides consistency.

  5. Thermoregulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermoregulation

    As in other mammals, thermoregulation is an important aspect of human homeostasis. Most body heat is generated in the deep organs, especially the liver, brain, and heart, and in contraction of skeletal muscles. [15] Humans have been able to adapt to a great diversity of climates, including hot humid and hot arid.

  6. Cellular waste product - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cellular_waste_product

    Cellular waste products are formed as a by-product of cellular respiration, a series of processes and reactions that generate energy for the cell, in the form of ATP. One example of cellular respiration creating cellular waste products are aerobic respiration and anaerobic respiration .

  7. Plasma (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plasma_(physics)

    Most artificial plasmas are generated by the application of electric and/or magnetic fields through a gas. Plasma generated in a laboratory setting and for industrial use can be generally categorized by: The type of power source used to generate the plasma—DC, AC (typically with radio frequency (RF)) and microwave [citation needed]

  8. Metabolic waste - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metabolic_waste

    Oxygen is produced by plants and some bacteria in photosynthesis, while CO 2 is a waste product of all animals and plants. Nitrogen gases are produced by denitrifying bacteria and as a waste product, and bacteria for decaying yield ammonia, as do most invertebrates and vertebrates.

  9. Plasma medicine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plasma_medicine

    Plasma, often called the fourth state of matter, is an ionized gas containing positive ions and negative ions or electrons, but is approximately charge neutral on the whole. The plasma sources used for plasma medicine are generally low temperature plasmas, and they generate ions, chemically reactive atoms and molecules, and UV-photons.
