introduction: due to dissimilarities in the availability of poisons in different areas and lack of enough control over the purchase and sale of some dangerous rodenticides, it is prudent to establish the distribution of rodenticide poisoning in each region. therefore, this study was performed to evaluate the demographic factors, types of poisons, duration of hospitalization and mortality of pat...

AbsiractCooling rates for seven hexahedrites. (Uwet. Coahuila. Walker County, Lombard. Quillagua. Hex River Mountains and Tocopilla) have been determined using a ternary diffusion controlled phase growth analysis developed by the authors. The model is applied to the exsolution and growth of plate phosphides in the kamacite phase of hexahedrites during cooling of the meteorite in its parent body...

This study highlights the importance of the anion in the electrochemical uptake of lithium by metal phosphides. It is shown through a variety of in-situ and ex-situ analytical techniques that the redox active centers in three different systems (MnP4, FeP2, and CoP3) are not necessarily cationic but can rest almost entirely upon the anionic network, thanks to the high degree of covalency of the ...

Metal phosphides in general and aluminium phosphide in particular are potent insecticides and rodenticides. These are commercially used for protection of crops during storage, as well as during transportation. They are highly toxic substances and its poisoning is a common pediatric emergency leading to mortality and morbidity in children. Thousand of innocent children are poisoned accidentally ...
