Pseudomyxoma peritonei is a relatively rare and poorly understood condition in which mucus accumulates within the peritoneal cavity. The presence of cells in the mucin, either inflammatory or neoplastic, distinguishes it from simple acellular mucus ascites caused by mucinous spillage. There is widespread seeding of the peritoneal and omental surfaces with a heavy cancerous glaze. This is princi...

We report the unusual discovery of a natural iron "glaze" composed of fused particles of meteoritic origin, concentrated entirely within a crop formation in England, appearing shortly after the intense Perseid meteor shower in August, 1993. Physical and chemical characteristics as well as spatial distributions indicated reheating to a semi-molten state at the time of crop impact, suggesting inv...

Many of us know the potential benefits of modelling—an improved understanding of the system being considered and the prediction of future scenarios. But who really cares about modelling? Many government bureaucrats and politicians want to know what is going to change in the future but why do many people’s eyes glaze over as soon as modellers start introducing their model? Modelling or a broader...

An important segment of the functional food market is products confectionery industry covered with chocolate or glaze for a healthy diet. The selection high-quality and technological fat ingredients such often difficult due to specific properties in composition. additional source concern realization that there are limited number vegetable oils fats nature have optimal crystallization melting ch...

Lead paint is one source of exposure for lead poisoning; however, recent Latino and other immigrant populations are also at risk of exposure through ceramic cooking pots with lead glaze, some imported candies, and certain stomach ailment home remedies. Public health agencies and practitioners acknowledge that Latino families should be educated about lead poisoning prevention but report barriers...

Crack patterns, as they can be observed in the glaze of ceramics or in desiccated mud layers, are formed by successive fractures and divide the two-dimensional plane into distinct domains. On the basis of experimental observation, we develop a description of the geometrical structure of these hierarchical networks. In particular, we show that the essential feature of such a structure can be rep...

Effect of glazing with an ultraviolet light-activated coating material on reduction of the leaching of methyl methacrylate and formaldehyde from denture acrylic resins was quantitatively evaluated. Disks prepared from auto-polymerized resins were painted with the material and radiated with ultraviolet light. The disks were immersed in artificial saliva and the concentrations of methyl methacryl...

This review explores the ecological and silvicultural impacts of ice storms on forests in the southern United States. Different environmental factors like weather conditions, topography, vegetation, stand density, and management practices influence the degree of glaze damage a particular forest may experience. Additionally, the frequent contradictions in the relationships between these factors ...

The basic processes of wear, erosion and erosion-corrosion are reviewed. It is shown that oxide debris can accelerate wear when it is present as particulates, or protect and reduce friction when it is present as a glaze. Erosion-corrosion processes can be understood and organized in a series of regimes that represent a sequence of change in the relative intensities of erosive and corrosive proc...
