To control the Argentine ant, Linepithema humile Mayr, the effectiveness of three chemical products applied around structures in southern California was evaluated. Three products were tested and included: Demand® CS (lambda-cyhalothrin, Syngenta), Termidor® SC (fipronil, BASF), and TransportTM GHP (bifenthrin and acetamiprid, FMC Corp.). A licensed pest management professional applied each prod...

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are constructed by linking inorganic units with organic linkers to make extended networks. Though more than 20 000 MOF structures have been reported most of these are ordered and largely composed of a limited number of different kinds building units, and very few have multiple different building units (heterogeneous). Although heterogeneity and multiplicity is a ...

The recent publication by the U.S. Chemical Safety Board (CSB) concerning its findings on the Concept Sciences Inc. (CSI) incident involving hydroxylamine (HA) has raised issues with regard to safe production of HA. This CSI incident was followed by another incident that destroyed the Nissin Chemical HA plant in Japan, and today BASF is the sole commercial producer of HA. HA is an important sol...

This chapter presents the study and evaluation of luminescent down shifting (LDS) layers doped with organic dyes their compatibility different types solar cells. In this study, commercial in Lumogen-F series (BASF) Violet 570, Orange 240, Red 300, Yellow 083, 170 were considered for analysis. It was found that while fulfil important characteristics materials LDS such as high photoluminescent qu...

With the development of chemical industry, traditional enterprise model relying on high energy consumption and input has not adapted to requirements high-quality development. At present, enterprises have problems such as low product performance, single excessive consumption. Wanhua Chemical Co., Ltd. is a technology-intensive high-end enterprise, its products (e.g., MDI) occupy an important pos...

The exploitation of mechanical properties and customization possibilities 3D printed metal parts usually come at the cost complex expensive equipment. To address this issue, hybrid metal/polymer composite filaments have been studied allowing printing by using standard Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) approach. resulting part, so called “green”, can then be transformed into a dense part debindin...

This study was conducted to investigate the stability of five commercial vitamin A products in premixes and vitamin-trace mineral premixes. The used were: Xinhecheng, Zhejiang medicine, Kingdomway, DSM, BASF. were stored three (for suckling, weanling, finishing pigs) or (VTM) pigs). Vitamin an environmentally controlled chamber set at 25 °C 60% humidity. VTM room temperature (approximately 22 °...

Abstract This study is aimed at evaluating the strength of stabilised soil collected from Port Norvik, Stockholm, Sweden, where 350,000 m3 clay had to be stabilized. The tests were performed in laboratory Swedish Geotechnical Institute (SGI). was by binder mixtures using Portland cement clinker (PCC) and lime kiln dust (LKD). Accelerators (X-seed 100 BASF, PCC, LKD salt) added samples for quick...

Europe has been much more cautious about the introduction of genetically modified (GM) crops than many other countries in the world. But this year it has granted permission to grow a genetically modified potato and also to allow into the market three types of GM maize. The potato, called Amflora and developed by the company BASF in Ludwigshafen, Germany, has been the first GM crop to be approve...
