EXPERIMENTAL DETERMINATION OF THE STATIC EQUIVALENT PRESSURES OF DETONATIVE EXPLOSIONS OF CYCLOHEXANE/O2/N2-MIXTURES IN LONG AND SHORT PIPES (PART 1OF 3)

Experimental Determination of the Static Equivalent Pressures of Detonative Explosions of Cyclohexane/O2/N2-Mixtures in Long and Short Pipes (part 1of 3)

In the past 5 years the Safety Engineering Group of BASF had determined the static equivalent pressures (pstata) of the eight detonative pressure scenarios which explosive gas mixtures can exhibit in long and in short pipes.More precisely, for different combustibles the pstat-values of the corresponding ternary mixtures combustible/O2/N2 were deter

Factors associated with changes in sexual behavior during Ramadan

Introduction Previous studies have shown that the month of Ramadan has a negative impact on the sexual life of fasters.Sexuality during Ramadan seems monotonous, rather poor, leaving little room for foreplay, sensuality and diversification of the sexual repertoire.Objectives To examine the socio-demographic and HAWTHORN FLOWERS AND LEAVES religious

TRPS1 modulates chromatin accessibility to regulate estrogen receptor alpha (ER) binding and ER target gene expression in luminal breast cancer cells.

Common genetic variants in the repressive GATA-family transcription factor (TF) TRPS1 locus are associated with breast cancer risk, and luminal breast cancer cell lines are particularly sensitive to TRPS1 knockout.We introduced an inducible degron tag into the native TRPS1 locus within a luminal breast cancer cell line to identify the direct target

Arsenic in Groundwater: A Review of Current Knowledge and Relation to the CALFED Solution Area with Recommendations for Needed Research

Ground water with arsenic concentrations greater than the U.S.Environmental Protection Agency drinking water standard exists throughout much of the CALFED solution area.These high concentrations are of con-cern from the standpoint of both existing water supply and development of conjunctive use projects.Much is known about arsenic mobility in groun

Multi-methodological characterisation of Costa Rican biochars from small-scale retort and top-lit updraft stoves and inter-methodological comparison

We applied common (pH, elemental analysis, thermogravimetry) and less-common (infrared Wrinkle Treatment Cream spectroscopy, GACS adsorption test, pyrolysis-GC-MS, hydrogen pyrolysis) analytical procedures to a set of biochars from Costa Rica (bamboo stalk, cacao chaff, sawmill scrap, coconut husk and orchard prunings feedstocks).The biochars were
