JAMES N. LOGUE, DrPH, MPH On October 2, 2006, shootings at the West Nickel Mines Amish School resulted in the homicides of 5 female students and the suicide of the adult male perpetrator. This was the 19th violent death incident in Pennsylvania schools since 1992 and the 9th such incident of the 21st century in the state, based on data collected by the National School Safety Center (NSSC). Sinc...

Vessels White oak cell types, fibers, rays, and vessels, were isolated from high-yield chemimechanical, neutral Rays sulphite semichemical (NSSC), and kraft pulps. Milled wood lignins (MWL) from NSSC fiber and ray Fibers cell fractions analyzed by ultraviolet and infrared spectroscopy were found to have similar syringyl/ Cell wall guaiacyl ratios. Methoxyl analyses of MWL’s were also similar an...

In Denmark, patients with serious nonspecific symptoms and signs of cancer (NSSC) are referred to the diagnostic outpatient clinics (DOCs) where an accelerated cancer diagnostic program is initiated. Various immunological and inflammatory biomarkers have been associated with cancer, including soluble urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (suPAR) and the pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) p...

wood resources, non-wood plants and recycled papers are the common raw materials of papermaking. shortage of raw materials, is a challenging problem in developing pulp and paper industry. in this study, cladophora green algae was used as a new source of cellulosic fiberfor pulping and papermaking.. cladophora algae was cooked with cold soda method and then was mixed with nssc pulp at 10,20 and ...

To further improve the low-frequency broadband sound absorption capability of underwater anechoic layer (UAL) on surface marine equipment, a novel structure with cavities (NSSC) is designed by adding resonators and honeycombs to traditional (SSC). Based principle shear dissipation, original intention design allow more parts viscoelastic material participate dissipation acoustic energy. The appr...

Hibiscus cannabinus, Cannabis sativa, and Hibiscus sabdariffa, fast growing productive annual plants, could provide fiber necessary to partially alleviate the world’s fiber deficit. The present study aimed at producing high yield pulp and the best mechanical strength properties with minimum impact on environment by SAS-AQ, and NSSC-AQ pulping processes. A total alkali of 13% (as Na2O), an alkal...

fluting paper which produced from nssc pulp is the most important lignocellulosic sources for production of packaging papers. the usage of paper is prefered to other sources for packaging purposes considering some properties such as cheapness, being enviromentally friendly and recyclability. in this research, production of nssc pulp from populus deltoides clone 69-55 for packaging purposes and ...
