OBJECTIVE Pesticide self-poisoning accounts for one-third of suicides worldwide, but few studies have investigated the national epidemiology of pesticide suicide in countries where it is a commonly used method. We investigated trends in pesticide suicide, and factors associated with such trends, in Taiwan, a rapidly developing East Asian country. METHODS We conducted an ecological study using...

The Pechmann condensation has been used as a simple and efficient method for the preparation of coumarin derivatives, which phenols and ethyl acetoacetate were reacted in the presence of AlCl3 supported on nano silica as an efficient catalyst at 110 oC under solvent free condition to form products with good to excellent yield (55 -90%), which are identified by spectroscopic method ( FT-IR, NMR)...

A highly practical and efficient preparation of 3,4-Dihydropyrimidin-2(1H)-one derivatives was developed via an efficient and simple nanocatalyst and promoted multi-component reaction of ethyl acetoacetate, aromatic aldehyde, and urea in the presence of a catalytic amount of (CTA)3[SiW12]-Li+-MMT under solvent-free conditions. In comparison to the conve...

the study is an analysis of processing methods, marketing channels, and profitability determinants of selected cassava products in kogi state, nigeria. the study was carried out in kogi east senatorial district of the state. a multi-stage sampling technique was employed in the selection of 120 respondents from whom information were collected and analyzed. the data used for the study were collec...

A highly efficient palladium-catalyzed oxidative borylation of enallenes was developed for the selective formation of cyclobutene derivatives and fully-substituted alkenylboron compounds. Cyclobutenes are formed as the exclusive products in MeOH in the presence of H2 O and Et3 N, whereas the use of AcOH leads to alkenylboron compounds. Both reactions showed a broad substrate scope and good tole...
