This paper describes on the use of cavitation for environmental protection in the form of the following two subjects: killing plankton in water and dispersing spilled oil. The preliminary results showed that both uses are promising, which demonstrates the wide range of applications of cavitation utilization.

Pink disease has virtually disappeared since teething powders were withdrawn. We describe a case in a boy who was exposed to metallic mercury vapour. We discuss the potential health hazard of spilled elemental mercury in the house and the difficulties of removing it from the environment.

The RAVEN STREAM online tool aims to help sewage treatment plants (STPs) identify and manage industrial chemicals used upstream that, if spilled, could cause a toxic shock the STP microorganisms utilized in wastewater process.

Purpose: To compare the use of syringe and finger feeding to feed preterm newborns considering amount of milk offered, amount of milk spilled, variation of oxygen saturation, and heart rate. Methods: Quasi-experimental study with 30 preterm newborns. Thirteen infants were females and 17 were males. The mean gestational age at birth and during evaluation (corrected age) was 33 4/7 ± 4/7 and 36 ±...

We construct a simple-structured super gelator with multi-stimuli responsive properties, among which anion responsiveness follows the Hofmeister series in a non-aqueous system. Versatile applications such as being rheological and self-healing agents, waste water treatment, spilled oil recovery and flexible optical device manufacture are integrated into a single organogelator, which was rarely r...
