Kovačević V., D. Šimić, Z. Zdunić, and Z. Lončarić (2013):Genotype and liming impacts on boron and molybdenum status in maize. Genetika, Vol 45, No. 2, 419-426. Liming experiment with hydrated lime (73% CaO + 2-3% MgO + 21% water) in the amounts 0, 5 and 20 t ha was conducted in spring 2006. Six domestic maize hybrids (B1 = Os298P, B2 = Tvrtko303, B3 = Os444, B4 = Os499, B5 = Os552 and B6 = Os5...

The mixture of olive oil and lime cream has been traditionally used to treat external burns in the region of Hatay/Antakya and middle Anatolia. Olive oil and lime cream have been employed by many physicians to treat many ailments in the past. A limited number of studies have shown the antibacterial effect of olive oil and that it does not have any toxic effect on the skin. But we did not find a...

The rheology of lime binders, which is critical in the final performance of lime mortars and plasters, is poorly understood, particularly in its relationship with the microstructure and colloidal characteristics of slaked lime (Ca(OH)(2)) suspensions (i.e., lime putties). Here, the contrasting flow behavior of lime putties obtained upon slaking (hydration) of soft and hard burnt quicklimes (CaO...

One hundred and twenty children with acute uncomplicated malaria who were managed at the children's outpatient department of the Wesley Guild Hospital, Ilesa (a unit of Obafemi Awolowo University Teaching Hospitals' Complex, Ile-Ife, Osun state, Nigeria) were recruited into the study to determine the effects of lime juice on malaria parasite clearance. These children were randomized into treatm...

Most historic and traditional mortars were made with lime. Due to their nature and function lime mortars weather and need to be replaced. Ordinary portland cement mortars can often be incompatible with historic masonry causing structural and aesthetic damage. Petrographic analysis of original mortars from Clonmacnoise Monastery and Ardamullivan Castle evidenced that they were fabricated with fe...

Abstract This study sought to use the stress–strain relationship of interlocking stabilized soil block (ISSB) masonry model its behaviour and develop empirical formulae aid in predicting compressive strength. A finite element (FE) analysis adopting Rankine failure criterion was performed using Abaqus software simulate deformability wall which validated through experimental tests. The strength, ...

We have investigated gas composition during simulated inhalation induction with sevoflurane to elucidate possible mechanisms of incidental prolonged induction times and airway irritation. Using a circle system, 8% sevoflurane in oxygen 6 litre min-1 was washed into an absorbing canister filled with fresh soda lime containing 2.9% KOH (Draegersorb, 'D') or no KOH (< 0.01%, Sofnolime, 'S'). The a...

This is the designation given b}7 Surgeon-Major R. Davis to a disease that he has found prevalent amongst the prisoners in the Rangoon Central Jail. The name is not meant to imply that the disease is caused by the eating of potatoes. On the contra"/ it applies to a peculiar form of scurvy that is amenable to the action of potatoes, "whereas it proves intractable to the influence of other antisc...
