Twelve cases of death due to fluorocarbon inhalation have been seen in a four year period 1971-1975. The source of the material has been commercial spray cans. The postmortem examinations are nonspecific, but a history of excitement or sudden death is often elicited. Confirmation of the cause of death was made by demonstration of a halogenated hydrocarbon in the blood by gas chromatography.

A designed library of covalent adaptable networks (CANs) having 1,2,3-triazolium dynamic cross-links are obtained through the combination solvent- and catalyst-free thermally induced azide–alkyne cycloaddition N-alkylation reactions. The use rigid heterocyclic or aromatic segments affords CANs with a greatly extended range thermomechanical profiles, Tgs up to 146 °C, dramatic changes in relaxat...

Introduction: Quantification of water and beverage intake is an emerging topic in nutritional sciences. Different sizes in glasses, cups, bottles and cans have been observed, which contributes to the difficulty in data collection. Objective: To design a visual beverage guide in order to facilitate data collection in nutritional studies. Method: Pictures were taken with a Nikon Coolpix S2800 Dig...

The occurrence of the size-weight illusion is related to the manner in which objects are lifted. When the SWI occurs, the larger of two objects of equal objective weight is usually lifted with greater acceleration, deceleration, and maximum velocity than the smaller one, but to approximately the same height. These differences are not present when the cans feel equally heavy. The relationship of...

‘Big Beef’ tomatoes produced 2.68 kg/plant from a 72 day harvest period when they were grown in 0.35 liter aluminum beverage cans by a sub-irrigation hydroponic method. Tomatoes growing in net pots (70 ml) suspended by expanded polystyrene bead boards with a sub-irrigation method gave similar yields in one trial but lower yields in another trial than tomatoes growing in beverage cans. Tomatoes ...
