A review of the literature on the management of corrosive oesophagitis with subsequent stricture formation reveals a wide variation of opinion as to suitable treatment. European methods were at variance with those of North America. General practitioners, paediatricians, and internists tackled the problem from different points of view, and even among otolaryngologists there was considerable dive...

BACKGROUND/AIM TO examine esophageal and gastric lesions in children due to the ingestion of alkali and acid corrosive substances and to emphasize all related complications. MATERIALS AND METHODS The reports of 103 children who ingested or were suspected to have ingested corrosive substances and who then underwent upper gastrointestinal endoscopic inspections were evaluated retrospectively. ...

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the inhibition effect of some Chalcone derivatives on the corrosion behavior of aluminum in 1 M phosphoric acid solutions with and without Chalcone derivatives and to investigate the influence of halide additives namely: KCl, KBr and KI on the inhibition efficiency of aluminum. For this purpose, polarization (DC) and weight loss measurements were used...

We present a contribution on the risk of hydraulic fracturing in CO2 geological storage using an analytical model of hydraulic fracturing in weak formations. The work is based on a MohrCoulomb dislocation model that is extended to account for material with fracture toughness. The complete slip process that is distributed around the crack tip is replaced by superdislocations that are placed in t...
