Fugitive dust is a serious threat to unpaved road users from safety and health point of view. Dust suppressing materials or suppressants are often employed lower the fugitive dust. Currently, many commercially available being developed for various applications. The performance these depends on their physical chemical properties, application frequency rates, soil type, wind speed, atmospheric co...

BACKGROUND The use of appetite suppressants in Europe has been associated with the development of primary pulmonary hypertension (PPH). Recently, fenfluramine appetite suppressants became widely used in the United States but were withdrawn in September 1997 because of concerns over adverse effects. MATERIALS AND METHODS We conducted a prospective surveillance study on patients diagnosed with ...

Coal dust endangers the health and safety of workers in underground coal mines. Therefore, developing suppressants with prevention explosion-proof properties is critical. The influence molasses on explosion decomposition deposited mines was investigated using 20 L experiments thermogravimetric differential thermal analysis (TG-DTA). Findings reveal that, first, can weakly promote at low concent...

Obesity is a worldwide health problem that has reached epidemic proportions. To ameliorate this problem, one approach is the use of appetite suppressants. These compounds are frequently amphetamine congeners such as diethylpropion (DEP), phentermine (PHEN), and bupropion (BUP), whose effects are mediated through serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopaminergic pathways. The nucleus accumbens (NAc) s...

TO THE EDITOR: We read with great interest the report by Nonaka et al about the effects of histamine-2 receptor antagonists and proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) on gastric emptying. The authors clearly showed that a single intravenous injection of famotidine and omeprazole had no effects on gastric emptying using the continuous real-time C breath test (Breath ID System) in a randomized placebo-con...

Humor is hypothesized to be a social activity that alters the status of the humorist positively and that of the object or victim negatively. Of the two traditionally distingushed classes of humor, "ostracizing" humor singles out a victim, with others present or absent either incidental affiliates of the humorist (and one another) or unaffected. "AltBiative" humor, on the other hand, is focused ...
