In May 2014, the Texas Department of State Health Services was notified of a case of silicosis with progressive massive fibrosis in a Hispanic male aged 37 years who worked for an engineered stone countertop company as a polisher, laminator, and fabricator. He was exposed to dust for 10 years from working with conglomerate or quartz surfacing materials containing 70%-90% crystalline silica. Thi...

When studying numerical properties of a population (technically: a conglomerate) it often happens that not all data are known. It might be that the total number of objects (persons) in the population is known, but that data on a number of them is missing. It even happens frequently that the total number of objects (N) is unknown. Referring to the population as 'sources' and to the property unde...

SYNOPSIS Pneumoconlosls of coalminers appears to be a conglomerate of fibrosis, emphysema, bronchial obstruction and simple clogging of the lung tissues and air spaces with dust. The prevalence of pneumoconiosis and of chronic obstructive bronchitis and emphysema amongst New South Wales coalminers is considered. Schemes for diagnosis and assessment of severity are presented, along with some res...

The title compound, C(23)H(17)ClN(2)O(3)·C(2)H(6)O, is the stoichiometric 1:1 ethanol solvate of a racemic reaction product, which forms a conglomerate. The refined Flack parameter of 0.36 (3) indicates racemic twinning. In the structure, mol-ecules are linked into zigzag chains by a series of inter-molecular N-H⋯O and O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds.

The early Devonian Greywacke Conglomerate Formation of the Lanark Basin, southwestern Midland Valley Scotland, has been exposed by a new road cut in Glenbuck area, East Ayrshire, enabling high-resolution sedimentological analysis this unusually high-quality section. This study provides facies sedimentary rocks and comparison with contemporaneous bedrock sections from across Basin adjacent South...
