During the dormant period a series of five samples of the buds and of the preceding year's growth was taken from a number of dominant and codominant yellow poplar trees. The samples were dried in an oven at 650 C., and were then ground in a ball mill until the material would pass through a 100-mesh sieve. Duplicate samples of from 25 to 50 grams were taken from this large sample, covered with 8...

Scales and sludge are commonly formed during oil and gas extracting and processing operations. They usually appear when injection and formation water with different chemical characteristics come into contact. When the produced water is brought to the surface alongside with the oil, a precipitate can be deposited on the walls of pipes and equipment, forming the so-called scales. Otherwise they c...

INTRODUCTION Underground storage tanks containing hydrocarbonbased fuels are found worldwide. Many of these tanks have leaks, allowing gasoline, diesel, oil, or other hydrocarbon materials to contaminate the surrounding soil. In 1992, only 2 million of the 5 million tanks in the U.S. were monitored for leaks. However, underground storage tanks represent only one of many sources of hydrocarbon c...

INTRODUCTION Underground storage tanks containing hydrocarbonbased fuels are found worldwide. Many of these underground storage tanks are known to have leaks, allowing gasoline, diesel or other fuels to contaminate the surrounding soil. As of 1992, there were two million underground tanks being monitored for leaks and an additional three million not monitored for leaks within the United States ...

It was only a few decades ago that incision and suction were recommended snakebite first aid. However, concerns arose about injuries and infections caused when laypersons made incisions across fang marks and applied mouth suction. Meanwhile, several snakebite suction devices (eg, Cutter’s Snakebite Kit, Venom Ex) were evaluated, and it was determined that they were neither safe nor effective.1 ...
