Occasional outbreaks of dermatitis caused by allergic reactions to chemicals occur in industry (Squire, Cruickshank, and Topley, 1950). For example, the sensitizing properties of the explosive " tetryl " are now well recognized, while on a smaller scale the manufacture of pyrethrum powder gives rise to a large proportion of sensitization rashes among exposed workers (Martin and Hester, 1941). S...

A high degree of safety from fires and explosions exists in operating theatres in the U.K. and this is reflected in the extremely low number of fatal and non-fatal accidents which occur. This has been achieved by safety precautions which in some respects have been over-careful and overexpensive. Antistatic precautions applied to the breathing circuit seem to have been the crucial factor in achi...

Theoretical investigation of a combined influence of anharmonic lattice vibrations, external magnetic field and pressure on magnetic properties of localized spin systems. supervisor: prof. RNDr. Michal Jaščur, PhD. study form: full time Annotation: The theoretical and experimental investigation of magnetic properties of various physical systems under simultaneous influence of different external...

Indian Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences 711 November December 2009 In conclusion, liposomal dispersion of FP was successfully prepared with more than 90% entrapment. Spray dried liposomes had mean size of 3-4 μ and FPF of 9-10%. Inclusion of antistatic agents such as leucine and magnesium stearate did not improve the aerosolisation behaviour of DPIs in this study. Further studies are warrante...

To assess alcohol consumption levels in large populations, researchers often rely on self-report measures. However, these approaches are associated with several limitations, particularly underreporting. Use of noninvasive biomonitoring approaches may help validate self-report alcohol consumption measurements and thus improve their accuracy. Two such devices currently are available, the WrisTAST...
