Schultze's Granulated-Wood Gunpowder

[Pathogenesis of poisoning by gunpowder gases].

Perceptions of amputation before and after gunpowder.

Woodall's remark on limb amputation, in 1617, that "it is no small presumption to Dismember the Image of God", reflected lingering doubts attributable to widespread ancient beliefs or taboos which, at least during the early historic period, shunned elective amputations completely. Death was preferred to operative destruction of the body's integrity, even when societies were aware of traumatic, ...

Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag

1. Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag (GGBFS) is a by product of the steel industry. Blast furnace slag is defined as “the non-metallic product consisting essentially of calcium silicates and other bases that is developed in a molten condition simultaneously with iron in a blast furnace.” [1] In the production of iron, blast furnaces are loaded with iron o...

the effect of granulated wood-ash fertilization on soil properties and greenhouse gas (GhG) emissions in boreal peatland forests

The amount of wood ash produced in power plants is increasing with increasing use of forest biomass in energy production. Wood ash can be recycled as fertilizer especially in boreal peatland forests naturally rich in nitrogen. Improved nutrient availability and increases in soil pH can enhance microbial activities, decomposition of organic matter and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. We studied t...

Densely granulated murine NK cells eradicate large solid tumors.

Natural killer (NK) cells inhibit early stages of tumor formation, recurrence, and metastasis. Here, we show that NK cells can also eradicate large solid tumors. Eradication depended on the massive infiltration of proliferating NK cells due to interleukin 15 (IL-15) released and presented by the cancer cells in the tumor microenvironment. Infiltrating NK cells had the striking morphologic featu...
