atropine (at) and oximes, alone or in combination, have been proven greatly valuable therapeutics in the treatment of organophosphates intoxications. an injectable mixture of at and obidoxime (ob) was formulated for administration by automatic self-injector. the aqueous single dose solution contained 275 mg obidoxime chloride and 2.5 mg atropine sulfate per 1 ml (220 mg and 2 mg per 0.8 effecti...

The Mekong region is undergoing rapid transitions, socially, economically, and environmentally. Economies are stabilizing after the political turbulence of the last several decades, and development pressures as well as ambitions are vast. Water is related to these social, economic, and environmental changes in many ways and in a very profound manner. This article summarizes the approach and maj...

Ultra-high-Q optical microcavities (Q>10(7)) provide one method for distinguishing chemically similar species. Resonators immersed in H(2)O have lower quality factors than those immersed in D(2)O due to the difference in optical absorption. This difference can be used to create a D(2)O detector. This effect is most noticeable at 1,300 nm, where the Q(H(2)O) is 106 and the Q(D(2)O) is 107. By mo...

a large settling tank. There are five such tanks. They are connected with one another and a constant level is maintained in all. The capacity of each tank is 1.2 million gallons; the total capacity being 6 million gallons. The daily draw is about 2 million gallons. Hence theoretically the water settles for about 3 days before entering the Paterson filters. The engineer in charge, however, state...
