A as textile dyes and the fastness properties of the dyed samples were measured. Most of the dyed fabrics tested displayed very good washing and perspiration fastness and series of 2-hydroxy- and 2-amino-6-substituted-5-arylazonicotinate monoazo compounds 7a-e and 9a-c were prepared via condensation of 3-oxo-3-substituted-2-arylhydrazonals 2a-e with active methylene nitriles 3a-d using microwav...

Artificial Fingertips Human fingertips with intricate structures and delicate perspiration system help people in gripping, climbing, or even more complex activities. In article number 2209729, Dirk J. Broer, Danqing Liu, co-workers report the design of a coating made cholesteric liquid crystal networks to mimic not only unique fingerprint topography but also secretion human fingertips. The biom...

A series of new monoazo disperse dyes containing pyrazolopyrimidine moieties was synthesized by coupling malononitrile or 3-aminocrotononitrile with 4-hydroxy- benzenediazonium chloride. Treatment of the resulting products with hydrazine hydrate yields the corresponding 4-arylazoaminopyrazoles, which then react with either 2,4-pentanedione and enaminonitriles or aryl-substituted enaminoketones ...

Functional infrared thermal imaging (fITI) is considered an upcoming, promising methodology in the emotional arena. Driven by sympathetic nerves, observations of affective nature derive from muscular activity subcutaneous blood flow as well as perspiration patterns in specific body parts. A review of 23 experimental procedures that employed fITI for investigations of affective nature is provide...

This work introduces a new approach to detect fake fingers, based on the analysis of time-series fingerprint images. When a user puts a finger on the scanner surface, a time-series sequence of fingerprint images is captured. Five features are extracted from the image sequence. Two features represent the skin elasticity, and three features represent the physiological process of perspiration. Fin...

Transdermal alcohol sensors continuously collect reliable and valid data on alcohol consumption in vivo over the course of hours to weeks. Transdermal alcohol readings are highly correlated with breath alcohol measurements, but transdermal alcohol levels lag behind breath alcohol levels by one or more hours owing to the longer time required for alcohol to be expelled through perspiration. By pr...

The title actually assigned to me for discussion on this occasion had a slightly more academic ring than the one I have chosen. I see no reason why, even before this group, a “spade” need be defined as “an elongated instrument by which perspiration and energy are applied to the movement of loose material from one place to another”; let’s just call it a “spade.” Let’s recognize that the Public U...

Differential assessment of trunk wounds is a critical element of their effective management. In reviewing the pathology and typical presentation for pressure necrosis, IAD, and ITD, four factors provide guidance in differential assessment: location, depth, characteristics, and exposure. Pressure ulcers are full-thickness lesions located over bony prominences or under medical devices. IAD and IT...

A male patient, R. V. M., aged 57 years, was admitted with a strangulated hernia on the 11th January, 1934. His temperature was 97?F., pulse 100 p.m., weak and of low tension. He had vomiting, colicky pains and cold perspiration. The inguino-scrotal swelling, which had lasted for six hours, was spheroidal in shape, size about 6 inches by 5 inches, had no impulse on coughing and was tense, tympa...
