Pellets of paraffin wax implanted into the lumen of the bladder of 38 mice induced one carcinoma. An equally low incidence of carcinomas was induced with paraffin wax pellets containing 15-20 per cent suspensions of 8-hydroxyquinoline or quinaldic acid, 8-hydroxyquinaldic acid, xanthurenic acid, the 8-methyl ether of xanthurenic acid, 4,8-quinolinediol, L-kynurenine sulfate, 3-hydroxy-L-kynuren...

To address the drawback of low thermal conductivity conventional organic phase change materials (PCMs), a paraffin-wax-based composite (PCC) was assembled via vacuum impregnation method, using new type carbon fiber network material as supporting matrix. The sheet (CFS) exhibited structure comprising high-thermal-conductivity fibers, beneficial for enhancing heat transfer properties PCC. sheet-s...

The feasibility was studied of in situ hybridisation using chromosome specific DNA probes on paraffin wax embedded normal and malignant tissues from different organs. Both isolated nuclei and 5 microns sections were used in in situ hybridisation experiments with biotinylated repetitive DNA probes specific for the centromeric regions of chromosomes 1 and 17. The hybridisation results were visual...

most reservoir fluids contain heavy paraffinic compounds that may precipitate as a solid or solid like material called wax if the fluid is cooled down. wax precipitation is a phenomenon of considerable importance in oil industry. an increase in aggregation results in enhanced oil viscosity. this however causes significant negative effects on production, transportation and processing of crude oi...

A method called "backprocessing", for subgross examination of sections, ranging between 50 microns and 1 mm in thickness using a dissecting microscope was developed. It requires either archival or current diagnostic breast tissue. In this study tissue is assumed to have been already embedded in paraffin wax for immediate diagnostic purposes. The advantages of backprocessing include the ability ...

This report contains the results of attempting to improve on the results of Scott R. Sawyer and Alan M. L’Esperance research paper “Investigation of Paraffin Wax as an Energy Storage Medium Within a Shell-and-Tube Heat Exchanger.” The overall goal of the paper mentioned was to investigate the usefulness of wax as an energy storage medium. Scott R. Sawyer and Alan M. L’Esperance determined that ...
