The article proposes the improvement of working conditions and environmental efficiency process washing equipment (tractors cars) in an agricultural organization. For this purpose, a point was designed with selection mass-produced required equipment, technology that provides effect by reducing water consumption for reusing it. At same time, engineering design calculations were carried out to ju...

This paper describes a household production model in which energy efficient durable goods cost less to operate so households may use them more. The model is estimated using householdlevel data from a field trial in which participants received high-efficiency clothes washers free of charge. The estimation strategy exploits this quasi-random replacement of washers to derive precise estimates of t...

This project was an evaluation of theBioTro1, Inc. soil Washing System (BSWS), consisting of a proprietary mechanical soil washer and separation system, a Slurry BioReactor (SBR) provided by EIMCO Process Equipment Co., and BioTrol’s proprietary Aqueous Treatment System (BATS), a fixed-film, aerobic biological treatment process. In this study, both biological processes use bacterial populations...

The patient, a 13-year, 14•mouth-ofd, de. pressed, white girl attempted suicide on the afternoon of June 11. 1969, by inges ting between 90 and 240 ml of a commercial windshield washer antifreeze (Wizard). This solution cm. tamed 80% methanol. 39.24% potassium pbospbate, 0.25% wetting agen t, and 0.25% green and yellow dye, but no heavy metals. Immediately following ingestion the patient vomite...

The screening of potential drug compounds for deleterious effects on cells is a key aspect of in vitro toxicology testing. Damage to cellular mitochondria and interruption of the respiratory electron transport chain is of particular concern. Drug accumulation in the mitochondria can result in a compromised membrane potential with a resultant disruption of electron transport. Here we describe th...

The characterization of gene expression through the quantitation of mRNA species from experimental samples is a commonly used technique in biomedical research today. The QuantiGene Plex 2.0 assay kit from Affymetrix offers a means to quantitate multiple mRNA species simultaneously from a variety of different sample types. This technology, which uses ferrite beads as a solid substrate for the re...
