We report the preparation of multilayer organic thin films prepared by sequential vapor-phase coupling of monomers. The reactions were carried out at room temperature and atmospheric pressure. Films prepared using up to six sequential coupling reactions are reported. The following specific vapor-phase reactions were found to be viable: reactions between acid chlorides and both aliphatic and aro...

Larvae of the cattle tick Boophilus microplus and all life stages of the European sheep tick Ixodes ricinus avoid walking on a wet membrane surface surrounding a dry patch. Of 170 reactions made at a border with liquid water by 22 B. microplus larvae, 40% consisted of immediate turns to the opposite side to bring all the legs back onto a dry patch, 41% were walks along the border, during which ...

BACKGROUND Allergic contact dermatitis caused by p-phenylenediamine (PPD) is common among all age groups and both sexes. Monitoring of prevalence and intensity of sensitization is important. OBJECTIVE To evaluate contact allergy to PPD in Europe, and to compare reaction intensities in different European regions. METHODS Data collected by the European Surveillance System on Contact Allergies...

Lepidoptera (moths, butterflies, and caterpillars) are an uncommon cause of adverse reactions in humans. Most reactions to Lepidoptera are mild and self-limited; however, reactions in sensitive individuals and reactions to particular species can be severe and life threatening. Specific syndromes caused by Lepidoptera include erucism (cutaneous reactions from contact with caterpillars, moths, or...

Sir, Contact of the skin with metals can induce several types of cutaneous reactions, mainly eczematous skin lesions. However, the increasing tendency to use metallic implants in the skin, mainly by the young populations, is leading to the appearance of other types of cutaneous reactions that can be difficult to differentiate from other infectious and noninfectious cutaneous disorders. We repor...

room temperature. In plain broth there was surface growth, indicated by a whitish ring in contact with the glass, and a viscid sediment, partially disintegrating on shaking. In gelatine stab, growth occurred without liquefaction. Fermentation and biochemical reactions were as follows : No change in glucose, maltose, lactose, sucrose, mannitol or salicin. M.R. and V.P. reactions negative; no red...

This work presents a self-contained continuum formulation for coupled chemical, mechanical, and thermal contact interactions. The is very general and, hence, admits arbitrary geometry, deformation, material behavior. All model equations are derived rigorously from the balance laws of mass, momentum, energy, entropy in framework irreversible thermodynamics, thus exposing all coupling present fie...
