Aluminum phosphide poisoning (ALPP) still has no efficient and approved antidote. Supportive care and hemodynamic monitoring are the only choices of treatment. We proposed a new lavage formulation in addition to evaluation of its efficacy and defining the impact of clinical characteristics of patients on their prognosis. During eight months period of time, 120 patients were enrolled to the stud...

Recent developments in nanophotonics have provided a clear roadmap for improving the efficiency of photonic devices through control over absorption and emission of devices. These advances could prove transformative for a wide variety of devices, such as photovoltaics, photoelectrochemical devices, photodetectors, and light-emitting diodes. However, it is often challenging to physically create t...

A 48 year old male acutely develops symptoms of chest pain, shortness of breath, dizziness, and nausea with an episode of vomiting. The symptoms develop acutely at the workplace, where he is employed as a production worker at an aluminum phosphide manufacturing facility. He is brought to the company physician and is noted to be alert and responsive with a normal respiratory rate, but appearing ...

Recommended methods for disposal of aluminium phosphide may involve burial. A range of aluminium phosphide preparations used for fumigation consisting of partially spent, and unspent commercial phosphine (PH3) generating aluminium phosphide formulations (blankets and sachets, pellets, and tablets), was buried for 19 months. Phosphine produced by the formulations during this period was monitored...

in the present study, development of new asbestos-free brake pad using lingo-cellulosic fibers and nano aluminum oxide particles was investigated. variable factors were the type of lignocellulosic materials (jute, bagass and rice husk) and the size of aluminum particles (nano and micron). these newly formulated brake pads have been tested under the grey cast iron disc. friction coefficient and ...

Nutria, Myocastor coypus, populations must be reduced when they cause substantial wetland damage. Control can include the rodenticide zinc phosphide, but the potential impacts to American alligators, Alligator mississippiensis, must be assessed. The mean amount of zinc phosphide per nutria found in nutria carcasses was 50 mg. Risk assessment determined that a conservative estimate for maximum e...
