The environment of those who live and work in warships is closely related to the way the ships are built and employed. In stating the requirements for the atmosphere between decks the emphasis has swung during the past 50 years from the need for controlling the chemical constituents to the control of the factors which comprise the thermal environment, and now, with the advent of the nuclear-pow...

BACKGROUND GPs detect at best 50c of mental health problems in young people. Barriers to detecting mental health problems include lack of screening tools, limited appointment times and young people's reluctance to report mental health symptoms to GPs. The mobiletype program is a mobile phone mental health assessment and management application which monitors mood, stress and everyday activities ...

In this study, a styrene butadiene rubber, which is similar to the rubber used in road wheel backer pads of tracked vehicles, was investigated experimentally under monotonic and fatigue loading conditions. The monotonic loading response of the material was obtained under different stress states (compression and tension), strain rates (0.001/s to 3000/s), and temperatures (-5C to 50C). The exper...

An in vitro study was conducted to evaluate the optimum roughage to concentrate ratio in complete rations using unconventional sweet sorghum bagasse (SSB), a by product of ethanol industry as sole roughage source. Eight rations were prepared with roughage to concentrate ratio of 100:0 to 30:70. Significantly (P<0.01) higher in vitro gas production volume (ml) at 24 h incubation, in vitro organi...

The clinical presentation of methyl alcohol intoxication in humans may va ry from one ext reme which mimics an intracranial catastrophe to a more subtle picture which may consist only of vague constitutional symptoms and a mild visual disturbance. When many patients with similar complaints and physical findings arrive at a hospital emergency room within a short space of time, it is not difficul...

Surface structure, composition and segregation properties of bimetallic nanoalloys are crucial in determining chemical reactivity and activity [1,2]. RhAg nanoalloy is of interest in catalysis since Rh, although expensive and scarce, is used in wide range of catalytic process. Alloying Rh with Ag seems reasonable due to Ag’s abundance in nature and low cost. Unfortunately, there are no stable p...

It has been well accepted that in the presence of sufficient amounts of ATP and magnesium, the contractile protein of muscle, actomyosin or myosin B, exhibits a relaxation phenomenon when a small amount of calcium is removed from the system by "relaxing factor,"' or by calcium chelators such as 1,2-bis-(2-dicarboxymethylaminoethoxy) ethane (EGTA). Ebashi and his associates2 3 reported that this...

Objectives: Removing organic solvents in chemical synthesis is important in the drive towards benign chemical technologies. Organic solvents are high on the list of toxic compounds due to the problems in containing volatile compounds and the sheer large volume of them used in industry. Some advantages of utilizing solventless reactions are that the compounds are often sufficiently pure to avoid...

Circular DNA molecules measuring approximately 5 ,u in contour length have been reported to occur in mitochondrial preparations from bird,1' 2 amphibian,3 and mammalian species.3-5 Examination of other species including invertebrates and various plant groups must be accomplished before a generalization can be made regarding circularity and length of mitochondrial DNA molecules. During the cours...
