This is a review of the geographic distribution of oropharyngeal cancers and of chewing habits which involve various plant materials and additives including lime. Cancers in the oropharynx and esophagus may be induced by the same carcino gens. Suspected plant carcinogens in the environments of patients with high frequencies of cancers of the oropharynx or esophagus are being tested in hamster c...

Lime-induced iron chlorosis in citrus and avocado trees may be controlled by chelating agents, such as EDTA-ethylene-diaminetetraacetic acid. Chelating agents have the ability to form complex compounds with metal ions-iron, zinc, manganese, and magnesium-holding the metals in a soluble form in various degrees of tenacity. Iron is held most firmly and, for this reason, the prospects may be best ...

This work presents a comparative analysis of top gate a-IGZO TFTs fabricated on both soda-lime-silica glass and alkali-free borosilicate glass. Low-temperature ALD is selected for the deposition of gate dielectric to minimize a thermal stress. Comparing with TFTs on alkali-free borosilicate glass, TFTs with soda-lime-glass show similar threshold voltage and subthreshold swing, but slightly degr...

Gurjun oil .. .. .. jtf. Lime water .. .. ,. ^ii. To be mixed together (so as to form an emulsion) and given internally twice a day in the morning and in the evening For external application gurjun oil one part, and lime water three parts, were directed to be thoroughly agitated with a churn until it formed something like butter, which has received the appellation of gurjun ointment; this was o...

Four different varieties of class F fly ashes, collected from different sources from the state of West Bengal (India) were mixed with lime in 9 : 1 wt ratio, followed by compaction of the mixes. The compacts were subjected to steam curing to develop an optimum strength by the reaction between fly ash and lime. The steam cured compacts were heated at different elevated temperatures and free lime...

The objective of this work was to evaluate the effect of liming and phosphate applications on the retention of triadimenol in microcolumns of soil material of a distrophic Red-Yellow Latosol (Typic Hapludox) and a distrophic Red Latosol (Typic Hapludox). Lime and phosphate applications decreased retention of triadimenol on LVAd samples (7.7% and 8.6%, respectively, for 2.67 and 10.68 kg ha-1 of...
