background: formalin is an aqueous solution of formaldehyde. it is a protoplasmic poison and causes coagulation necrosis and tissue fixation. case: a 19-year-old girl was brought for autopsy to the mortuary of jss medical college, mysore. conclusion: formalin is an unusual poison to be ingested for suicidal purposes due to selective availability and its strong taste and odor.

In this paper the dynamic of a droplet on a surface with a hole is investigated under gravitational effect by using lattice Boltzmann method. Incompressible two-phase flow with high density ratio proposed by Lee is considered. Cahn’s theory is used to observe the wettability of the surface in contact with liquid and gas phases. Several parameters such as contact angle, surface tension and gravi...

A modified model has been analytically developed to describe the induction time of an elliptic air bubble in contact with an elliptic hydrophobic oil droplet. The role of hydrophobicity was revealed in the slippage of liquid over the surfaces of bubble and droplet. In this condition, the analytical relationships for pressure distribution and consequently hydrodynamic resistance force through th...

Ethylene chlorhydrin, thiourea, and the fat solvent anesthetics, when used in certain concentrations and exposures are often effective in breaking rest periods in plants (8, 13). These agents may also modify the rates of respiration and polysaccharide hydrolysis. The rates of such processes are frequently increased when plants are treated with relatively low concentrations and decreased when tr...
