Laboratory experiments were conducted by applying 1,2-dibromo-3-chloropropane (DBCP) to sealed vials of soil infested with Meloidogyne javanica. A minimum initial concentration of 0.25 mug of DBCP/g of oven-dry soil killed all nematodes within 35 days. A concentration of 1.0 mug/g killed all nematodes within 28 days. The rate of degradation of this chemical was determined by treatment of steamed and nonsteamed dry soil in open and sealed vials. Extraction of tile chemical, followed by quantification by gas chromatography, showed approximately 100% of the amount applied recovered after 14 days in sealed vials without soil. With soil present, approximately 10% of the amount of chemical applied was recovered.

Objectives: The objective of this study was to evaluate and compare the sealing ability of mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA), Biodentine, glass ionomer cement, and glass ionomer cement modified with Chicken Eggshell Powder when used as furcation perforation repair material.

Materials And Methods: In the present study, 80 human lower first molars were used. Collected teeth had no caries or restoration, and none had fused roots.

Unlabelled: The analysis of the nitrogen (N) isotopic composition of organic matter bound to fossil biomineral structures (BB-δ N) using the oxidation-denitrifier (O-D) method provides a novel tool to study past changes in N cycling processes.

Methods: We report a set of methodological improvements to the O-D method, including (a) a method for sealing the reaction vials in which the oxidation of organic N to NO takes place, (b) a recipe for bypassing the pH adjustment step before the bacterial conversion of NO to N O, and (c) a method for storing recrystallized dipotassium peroxodisulfate (K S O ) under Ar atmosphere.

Results: The new sealing method eliminates the occasional contamination and vial breakage that occurred previously while increasing sample throughput.

Introduction: NHS Blood and Transplant Tissue and Eye Services (TES) offer a serum eyedrop (SE) service to patients suffering from severe ocular surface disease. SE are prepared from serum collected at blood donation sessions; the serum is diluted 1:1 with physiological saline. Formerly, 3ml aliquots of diluted serum were aliquoted into glass bottles in a Grade B clean room.
