Three cases of squamous carcinoma resulting from exposure to mineral oil in the process of treatment of pipes known as 'Stanford jointing' are described, being the first to be noted in this process. The process itself is described with illustrations, and attention is drawn to the importance of realizing that such cases may occur in industrial processes where there is considerable exposure to mi...

Using a high-statistics sample of neutral current elastic neutrino interactions, MiniBooNE measured the fluxaveraged neutral current elastic differential cross-section on mineral oil (CH2). Using the latter, a χ2 test of MC with different values of the axial vector mass has been performed. Also, a possibility of using a sample of neutral current elastic protonenriched events above Cherenkov thr...

a split plots experiment based on randomized complete blocks design was carried out at field research center of islamic azad university, shoushtar branch during 2012 to find out the suitable sowing date and urea fertilizer used in chamomile (matricaria recutita). main plots including three sowing date (9, 19 and 29 february 2012) and subplots including four levels of urea fertilizers (5, 10, 15...

OBJECTIVE To analyze risk factors for neck metastases in patients with parotid carcinomas. DESIGN Cohort of patients followed up from 1 to 366.2 months at a single institution. SETTING Referral center, private or institutional practice, hospitalized care. PATIENTS A total of 145 patients with parotid carcinomas with complete clinical and pathological information. The histological diagnosi...

Mineral oil (or Hydrocarbon oil) in water samples is determined by liquid-liquid extraction, followed by a clean-up step on Florisil, and GC-FID analysis. Using the Agilent 7696A Sample Prep WorkBench system, drying and clean-up of samples obtained after liquid-liquid extraction can be automated. High recoveries and excellent reproducibility are obtained for the mineral oil fraction, while the ...

The major histocompatibility complex is directly involved in the immune response, and thus genes coding for its proteins are useful markers study of genetic diversity, susceptibility to disease (autoimmunity infections), transplant medicine, pharmacogenetics, among others. polymorphism system also allows researchers use it as a proxy population genetics analysis, such admixture structure. In or...

An attempt has been made to show the difference in the penetrability of coconut oil and mineral oil in human hair. We have used secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) in combination with a time-of-flight (TOF) mass spectrometer. Characteristic ions formed by the pure components when bombarded with gallium ions have been identified with their m/z values. The distribution of the ion, characterist...

There is an urgent need to develop new technologies to address the problem of soil remediation in high-latitude regions. A field study was initiated in January 1997 in two contaminated soils in Terre Adélie (Antarctica) with the objective of determining the long-term effectiveness of two bioremediation agents on total and hydrocarbondegrading microbial assemblages under severe Antarctic conditi...
