Fillers and Filled Polymers

With the increasing recognition of the importance of fillers for reinforcing and enhancing polymer properties, current research is progressing rapidly. This volume of Macromolecular Symposia presents highlights of the Eurofillers'99 conference held in Lyon, France, September 6-9, 1999. Recent research furthering our understanding of the properties and processing of fillers and their interactions with polymers was presented, along with new ideas addressing the need for filled polymers with combinations of varied properties. The possibilities presented by nanotechnology were also introduced through contributions concerning investigations into nanofillers, such as clays and whiskers, and nanocomposites.

Standardization of Epidemiologic Studies of Host Susceptibility

The incidence of insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (100M) varies dramatically across racial groups and countries, with annual age-adjusted rates of approximately 40/100,000 per year in Finland, but only 0.51100,000 per year in China. Although reasons for these marked geographic differences are unknown, it is likely that genetic variations across populations play a m~or role. To determine the contribution of genetic factors to the global patterns of 100M incidence, international comparative studies are now being undertaken as part of the WHO Multinational Project for Childhood Oiabetes, known as the DIAMOND Project. It is, therefore, necessary to develop and implement epidemiologic standard...

Envenomations Caused by Animals

About 90% of the injuries caused by venomous and poisonous animals are manifested by cutaneous signs, due to the inflammatory and necrotic characteristics of various toxins. Even when there are no initial changes in the skin, these can appear in later stages. Therefore, it is necessary for health professionals to be able to recognize and treat these types of injuries. This work provides detailed information on the identification of venomous and poisonous animals and the symptoms caused by their toxins. It includes extensive photographic documentation and discussion on the diagnosis and treatment of dermatitis, which can range from small superficial inflammations to deep necrosis with great t...

A Presença Do Negro Em Nossa História

No processo da colonização firmou-se no Brasil características, com traços culturais diferentes aos dos trazidos pelos europeus, que contribuíram nos aspectos econômicos, sociais e políticos para a formação da identidade brasileira. Devido as necessidades de exploração econômica da mão-de-obra que os europeus estavam enfrentando, apelaram para a mão-de-obra escrava indígena. Logo se aproveitou da força de trabalho do negro africano, vindos diretamente da África nos navios negreiros para serem vendidos ao Brasil para trabalharem nos serviços pesados.

Pesticides Environmental Destination: A Study Based On Coffee Productive Areas

The benefits of pesticides are evident. However, the risk of adverse effects must be diminished. So, it is necessary to exert effective control of use and have available methods of calculating their environmental behavior. The models employ calculations that use concepts of activity and fugacity to characterize the equilibrium that exists between environmental compartments. Most of the emphasis is set on organic chemicals, which are more susceptible to generalization than inorganic chemical, when assessing environmental behavior.

Yet there is insufficient knowledge concerning the actual nature of China’s role in specific ports, the economic and other consequences associated with that involvement, and the wider economic, political, and environmental effects of those economic effects. The ...
