During aging, the cardiovascular system is especially prone to a decline in function and to life-expectancy limiting diseases.Cardiovascular aging is associated with increased arterial stiffness and vasoconstriction as well as left ventricular hypertrophy and reduced diastolic function.Pathological changes include endothelial dysfunction, atheroscl
In this work, the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) methodology is used to examine the implications of CO2 capture from a natural gas combined cycle power plant with post-combustion carbon capture (NGCC-CCS) in Iraq, taking into account two different design scenarios.In the first scenario (retrofit), the carbon capture unit is considered as an end pipe t
