The Oxidative Stress of Mercaptan Odorant Due to Occupational Exposure: Adverse Effects on the Cholinergic System

Background: Tert-butyl mercaptan is one of the frequently used odorants derived from natural gases. It has been declared as a health hazard by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) in the USA. There is not much information available about the mercaptans long-term toxicity secondary to occupational exposure. This study was conducted to evaluate the oxidative stress caused by m...

Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Response to Adverse Soil Conditions

Discrepancies in pain presentation caused by adverse psychosocial conditions as compared to pain due to high physical workload?

Disorders in the musculoskeletal system have been associated with a high physical workload as well as psychosocial and individual factors. It is however not obvious which of these factors that is most important to prevent. Musculoskeletal disorders in neck and upper extremity was assessed by interview and clinical examination in 79 teachers and 93 assisting nurses, all females. Psychosocial wor...

Milled Rice Breakage Due to Environmental Conditions

Cereal Chem. 75(1):149–152 Milled, long-grain rice was exposed to air at temperatures (T) of 20, 30, and 40°C, and relative humidities (RH) ranging from 25 to 85%. The kernels then were subjected to a breakage test to determine the extent of damage that occurred during each exposure condition. Increasing air T levels produced higher amounts of broken kernels across the RH range. Milled rice at ...

Supersensitivity due to uncertain boundary conditions

We study the viscous Burgers’ equation subject to perturbations on the boundary conditions. Two kinds of perturbations are considered: deterministic and random. For deterministic perturbations, we show that small perturbations can result in O(1) changes in the location of the transition layer. For random perturbations, we solve the stochastic Burgers’ equation using different approaches. First,...
