A theory of the Hindenburg fire that has gained popular acceptance proposes that an incendiary paint covered the outer surface of the airship. Further, according to this theory, the paint was both the point of ignition and the sole cause of the rapid spread of the fire. The hydrogen within the airship is held blameless for both the start of the fire and its subsequent advance. We have examined ...

The object of this study was to assess potential dermal exposure to the non-volatile fractions of paints based on studies assessing potential exposure during the painting process in car body repair shops with water-based paints. The measurements were done during filling of the spray gun, paint spraying and cleaning of the gun. Potential dermal exposure was assessed using patches and gloves as d...

BACKGROUND/AIM Acrylic lens size and shape may influence the rate of posterior capsule opacification (PCO) and need for Nd:YAG capsulotomy. The aim of this study is to compare the Nd:YAG capsulotomy rate of the three piece acrylic/PMMA AcrySof MA series lens with the one piece acrylic AcrySof SA series lens. METHODS 434 eyes of 329 patients who had cataract extraction and implantation of one ...

Objective: To report opacification of hydrophilic acrylic and silicone foldable intraocular lenses (IOL). Designs: Case series. Participants: Five patients with IOL opacification. Results: We report five eyes of five patients with late opacification of the intraocular lens (IOL). Three patients had hydrophilic acrylic (SC60B-OUV-MDR, Inc), two had silicone IOL (Allergan SI30NB). Two out of the ...

The increasing awareness of evposure to traditional paint strippers has prompted a search for altemativeproducts. Onegroup of such alternatives are formulations based on N-Methylpyrolidone (NMPkqn comparing NMP-based paint removers with more volatile products, the primary tradeoffs are stripping speed versus solvent inhalation, and product cost v e m wage cost. NMP-based paint removers work at ...

We have implemented a non-photorealistic rendering system which simulates the placement of paint/pencil/pastel strokes to produce representational artworks from digital images. The system is able to record an image of each paint stroke independent of the overall picture, in addition to some details about each stroke. Working with sets of paint strokes from paintings of different images, we inve...

Surface carbonization, or charring, of wooden cladding boards is a promising, low impact process that can substitute inorganic coatings. The char surface inert and hydrophobic possibly long-lasting solution for exterior uses. To determine the performance surface-charred wood, several sorption experiments were established. Sapwood two hardwoods (aspen, birch) softwoods (pine, spruce) used as exp...

The rapid progress of water-dispersion paints from the water-diluted group is due to a number their advantages over other paint and varnishes category environmentally friendly. formulations paintwork materials are dominated by aqueous dispersions acrylic copolymers, styrole homo- copolymers vinyl acetate.
