This report briefly discusses progress on the following topics: isospin breaking in the pion-nucleon system; the np charge-exchange reaction; energy dependence of pion DCX; pion absorption in nuclei; quantum effects in inclusive reactions; and pion scatte...

The two phase project involved the development and field validation of an optimal process control system for lean oil absorption/desorption gas processing plants. Phase 1 consisted of a field survey and software module development activity for the control...

Research on solar air conditioning at the University of Riyadh in Riyhadh, Saudi Arabia is presented. Topics relevant to the university's proposed solar cooling laboratory are discussed: absorption systems and various contingencies, photovoltaic solar col...

Abstracts of papers on the following topics are provided: Fast reactions and energy transfer processes -- Advanced diagnostics (Theory of reaction kinetics, Time resolved absorption and emission spectroscopies electronically excited states, Fast ionic rea...

District cooling is a hot topic currently due to its role to improve CHP plants efficiency and CO2 emission reduction. Especially DH energy driven absorption cooling can balance the production of heat and power in CHP plants. This thesis consists of the m...

Out of 120 short communications contained in the book of abstracts, 19 were inputted to the INIS system. The topics covered include applications of Moessbauer spectroscopy, X-ray fluorescence analysis, atomic absorption spectroscopy, atomic emission spect...

A new in-vivo method was developed to account for topically applied doses in the study of percutaneous absorption. A protective, but not occlusive, covering device was used which allowed free passage of passive transepidermal water loss, retained exfoliat...

The fractional absorption which can be obtained using a single-mode laser with an internal absorption cell is compared to the fractional absorption obtainable with the more conventional system of a laser with an external absorption cell.

The topical use of anesthetic agents involves an element of risk. Systemic toxic reactions are rare, but they do occur and may result in death. When a reaction occurs from a topical application, it usually progresses rapidly to respiratory and cardiovascular collapse, and thus therapy must be instituted with more haste to avoid deaths. ...

The United States Department of Transportation, John A. Volpe National Transportation Systems Center (Volpe Center), Acoustics Facility, in support of the Federal Aviation Administration's Office of Environment and Energy (AEE), has recently completed a study of a new method for computing atmospheric absorption. This letter report presents the results of ...

... Antimetbolites (5-fluoruracil, 6-mercaptopurine and aminopterin) were applied topically to the skin of rabbits to prevent hair growth. ...

This article examines the expanding market for district heating and cooling systems as part of independent cogeneration systems. The topics of the article include expanding systems, future potential, government help, cogeneration, district cooling expanding, absorption chilling, indoor air ...

The hazards associated with situations involving acute radioactive contamination of the atmosphere and the need for air filtration systems to protect personnel in various types of structures in such situations are reviewed. Topics covered include: sources of airborne radioactive contamination, hazards of internal absorption of ...

To identify the origin of this missing absorption, a spectrum-resolving ... the albedo of the system and add to the atmospheric absorption. ...

This study compared the evaporation and skin absorption profiles of four fragrance chemicals in in vitro skin penetration studies performed in conditions of airflows of low velocity with and without trapping of the evaporated volatiles. The presence of a trapping chamber above the skin surface slowed down the evaporation of the chemicals, possibly due to formation of a gaseous ...

In this work, photoacoustic spectroscopy (PAS) was employed to characterize samples of commercially available sunscreen (SPF15) and the system formed by sunscreen plus skin (topically applied sunscreen). Measurements were performed at 70Hz, in the wavelength range that corresponds to most of the ultraviolet (UV) radiation that reaches Earth. The ...

Dermal absorption of some chemicals and drugs can cause systemic toxicity. We evaluated several case reports from the past decade, which discuss the dermal absorption of a specific chemical and potential local and systemic effects. We focused on herbicide and pesticide exposure along with exposure to cutaneous ...

The book presents the fundamental principles, systems, and practices of refrigeration. Emphasizing energy conservation, it offers applications of the refrigeration systems and equipment. Topics covered include: physical principles; the vapor compression refrigeration system: Pressure-enthalpy diagrams; ...
