A young lady applied herbal mask of common rue (Ruta graveolens) onto her face. After that, she took a nap on a balcony in the full sun. An hour later, she woke up with a burning sensation, erythema and oedema of the skin. A few hours later, painful erythema and oedema developed. Subsequently, she developed a bullous reaction, which became superinfected in the following days. After treatment of...

metalloporphirins; cu(tpp), mn(tpp)cl, co(tpp), fe(tpp)cl, zn(tpp) and mn(obp)cl catalyze region and chemoselective silylation of hydroxyl groups with hmds. fe(tpp)cl is the most effective catalyst and silylation occurs immediately in its presence at room temperature.

Instant Messaging is today’s killer application. Millions of consumer users are exploring the implications of real-time text messaging and finding that it is a perfect supplement to and, in some cases, substitute for voice communications. The enterprise market has only recently begun considering applications to business collaboration, and has found that consumer products are not generally suita...

Members of the family Enterobacteriaceae were cultured from 52.5% of 141 milk substitute infant formulas which were obtained in 35 countries. The concentration did not exceed a level of 1 CFU/g in any product. The species which were isolated most frequently were Enterobacter agglomerans, cloacae, Enterobacter sakazakii, and Klebsiella pneumoniae. If infections due to these organisms occur, it c...

Background: Designing and shielding of an appropriate radiography room has been one of the major concerns of radiation scientists since the first decade after the invention of X-rays. Recently, report No.147 of National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP) has been published. In this study the researchers have investigated the effect of new report recommendation on primary an...

Provision of reliability of structures is an important issue at the designing stage. One of reliability aspects is durability. In order to estimate the durability of reinforced concrete it is required to apply standard procedure of calculation which, according to SNIP Regulations 2.03.11-85 Protection of Engineering Structures against Corrosion, can be implemented with the use of means of prima...

Objective. In the United States, growth regulations aimed at environmental protection and better-quality urban areas have become very popular since the 1960s. Although many studies have examined the housing-price effects of local and regional growth management regulations, none has examined the effects of a state law. Past research has also tended to be cross-sectional, rather than longitudinal...

Substitute valuations (in some contexts called gross substitute valuations) are prominent in combinatorial auction theory. An algorithm is given in this paper for generating a substitute valuation through Monte Carlo simulation. In addition, the geometry of the set of all substitute valuations for a fixed number of goods K is investigated. The set consists of a union of polyhedrons, and the max...
