Radio frequency heating (RFH) technologies use electromagnetic energy in the radio frequency (RF) band to heat soil in situ, thereby potentially enhancing the performance of standard soil vapor extraction (SVE) technologies. Contaminants are remove d from in situ soils and transferred to collection or treatment facilities. (IITRI) RFH process was evaluated under the U. S. Environmental Protecti...

The purpose of the study was to describe the opinions of ambulance personnel regarding differences between using a heated mattress and a standard ambulance mattress. This study was an intervention study with pre- and post-evaluation. Evaluations of the opinions of personnel regarding the standard unheated mattress were conducted initially. After the intervention with new heated mattresses, foll...

Microwave-heated food may cause serious injury if it is not allowed to cool before consumption. We describe a case in which a hypopharyngeal burn occurred following consumption of a microwave-heated potato immediately after cooking.

effect of intermittent mash-pellet feeding programs on broilers performance, ascites susceptibility and economic yield was studied using 480 broilers in six treatments and five replicates of 16 chicks per pen were used in a completely randomized design. treatments including: 1. mash feed, 2. heated-mash feed, 3. mash feed in starter and grower and pellet feed in finisher, 4. mash feed in starte...

The crystal structures of two new polymorphs 2-benzoyl-N,N-diethylbenzamide were obtained after recrystallization trials with different solvents. forms II and III monoclinic crystallized in the same space group similar a, b c lengths but ? angles. had no conformation differences within themselves; however, long-range packing (>two unit cells) was not isostructural. In comparison previously p...

Future exploration of Saturn's moon Titan can be carried out by airships, which have the capability to study the atmosphere as well as the capability to land and study the surface at multiple locations. Several lighter-than-air gas airships and passive drifting heated-air balloon designs have been studied, but a heated-air airship could combine the best of both. A design tool was created to ena...

The effect of thermally processed rice koji extracts on survival of yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae was examined in comparison with non-heated koji extract. In chronological life span (CLS) tests on high-sugar fermentation, the survivals of the yeast cells grown with heated koji extracts were higher than non-heated koji extract. Heat treatment of the extracts by autoclaving led to a loss in most...

The tuberculin for Mantoux-test is neither heated nor filtered after diluting, of course. Heating of a diluted tuberculin was once made half in fun. And as stated in section 3.1 and 6.1, a diluted tuberculin was sealed in ampuls, and heated by autoclaving for 20 minutes at 15 pounds pressure (120•Ž). After this precedure we saw a curious result: the potency was lost on the whole, of course, but...

The initial yield of DNA single-strand breaks in X-irradiated Chinese hamster ovary cells was about 4-fold higher in aerated samples than in those under extreme hypoxia (< 10 p .p.m. 0 2), with DNA breakage yields of 3 .6 x 10 -9 and 0.85 x 10-9 dalton -1 krad-1 for air and N 2 irradiation, respectively . In cells in which metabolism had been inhibited by heating before irradiation, a maximal D...
