Impregnation spray products are used for making surfaces water and dirt repellent. The products are composed of one or more active film-forming components dissolved or suspended in an appropriate solvent mixture. Exposure to impregnation spray products may cause respiratory distress and new cases are reported frequently. The toxicity appears to be driven by a disruption of the pulmonary surfact...

OBJECTIVES To identify the optimal pharmacological method of preparing patients for nasal endoscopy. METHODS Twenty healthy volunteers were enrolled in this prospective, randomized, double-blind study. Four types of medications were applied in their nostrils with binary combinations of spray bottles on four different days in a random order: placebo (normal saline [NS]+NS), decongestant (NS+ox...

Fungicide benomyl is easily decomposed to carbendazim (MBC) and butyl isocyanate (BIC) in formulation, BIC is further hydrolyzed to butylamine. The BIC also reacts with butylamine to form N,N'-dibutylurea (DBU), a phytotoxic compound. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of selected additives and the manufacturing method of benomyl water dispersible granules (WG) on reducing...

To investigate the effects of silicon on the growth characteristics and the reduction of the powdery mildew damage to Zinnia (Zinnia elegans Jacq. ʻMagellanʼ), an experiment was carried out as a factorial experiment in the form of a randomized complete block design with two factors including eight treatments and three replications. The first factor included silicon concentrations at four levels...

A continuum formalism for describing the behavior of primary atomization with phase transition is presented, which includes the effects of heat and mass transfer of the two phase flow, the formation of ligaments and droplets, surface tension force and turbulence. Simulation of liquid jet primary atomization given by Marcus Herrmann (A balanced force refined level–set grid method for two–phase f...

The history from bio-imaging to live single-cell mass spectrometry (MS) is herein reviewed. The limitation of the current bio-imaging method is probing only known molecules, and a method for finding new molecules is needed for cells which, however, show individual behaviors even in the same incubation dish. Single-cell MALDI-TOF/MS has been developed, but it can detect only molecules that can b...

The macro characteristics and configurations of induced shock waves of the supersonic sprays are investigated by experimental methods. Visualization study of spray shape is carried out with the high-speed camera. The macro characteristics including spray tip penetration, velocity of spray tip and spray angle are analyzed. The configurations of shock waves are investigated by Schlieren technique...

BACKGROUND Spray boom systems, an alternative to the predominantly-used spray guns, have the potential to considerably improve crop protection management in glasshouses. Based on earlier experiments, the further optimization of the deposits of a medium spray quality extended range flat fan nozzle type using easy adjustable spray boom settings was examined. Using mineral chelate tracers and wate...
