Report of a case of erythema multiforme-like eruption due to the use of rubber gloves. After several complementary studies, including epicutaneous and skin prick tests, we concluded that the eruption was secondary to sensitization to carbamates and thiuram. The main differential diagnosis in this case was allergic contact dermatitis to latex in natural rubber gloves. This entity is less frequen...

The oxidation of a number of thioethers, namely methyl phenyl sulphide (1), ethyl phenyl sulphide (2), isopropyl phenyl sulphide (3), n-propyl phenyl sulphide (4), p-chlorophenyl methyl sulphide (5), p-nitrophenyl methyl sulphide (6) and methyl naphthalene sulphide (7), by recombinant pea cytosolic ascorbate peroxidase (rAPX) and a site-directed variant of rAPX in which the distal tryptophan 41...

Chives, a member of the Alliaceae family, have been used in food and medicine in Thailand for a long time. Diallyl sulfides (diallyl monosulfide, dially disulfide, diallyl trisulfide, and diallyl tetrasulfide) are believed to be responsible for the antimicrobial activity of plants in this family. In this study, chive oil was examined for its diallyl sulfide content and its antimicrobial activit...

Flotation is, doubtless, the most important process among the various techniques used for the treatment of ore. This generalpurpose technique allows the treatment of several complex ores (lead zinc, copper zinc), sulphides (copper, lead, and zinc), oxides (hematite, quartz), oxidized minerals (malachite, cerusite) and even non-metal ores (fluorite, phosphate, coal). Due to the flotation, it is ...

tion of hydrothermal affects that extend beyond such features as megascopically recognizable mineralization and alteration zones. Here we present results of a preliminary lithogeochemical study of the Slocan Group, motivated by (1) the prior recognition of syngenetic sulphides in the clastic sequence, and (2) an earlier, restricted lithogeochemical study by Cox (1979) on the basis of which he r...

A typical South Crofty ore containing minor amounts of arsenopyrite and chalcopyrite (ore A) gives 65% overall recovery of cassiterite in the spiral circuit, overall enrichment ratios being about 25-35. Maximum recovery occurs in the size range 53-110 /Lm(Fig. 2). However, recently treated ore types (ore B) have been much richer in sulphides, yielding up to 30°" As in the recleaner table concen...
