Antidotes project

This second edition features in-depth coverage of actual response techniques and new approaches for coping with critical situations caused by criminal activity, industrial accidents, or even mini-epidemics. Augmenting its coverage of field first aid for response personnel, this edition contains up-to-date tools such as checklists and streamlined procedures for on-scene coordination. It incorporates the latest detection devices, cost/recovery and hazard analyses, diagnostic methods, pretreatments, vaccines, decontamination techniques, antidotes, and medical treatments available. This edition also adds a focused review of the progress and projected developments for military protocols and procedures. 

Independent of this discovery, in 1982 scientists from the same company were working on a project aimed at preparing novel Acetyl-CoA carboxylase inhibitors, based upon the typical cyclohexanedione structure known for this class. The first targeted compound (2), prepared as shown in Fig. 4.3.1, showed some herbicidal activity and they thus attempted preparation of a phenyl analogue in a similar manner. This led not to the expected product (3), but to the triketone (4). This compound was devoid of herbicidal activity, but (luckily ) in safener screens the compound showed antidotal effects in Soya for thiocarbamate herbicides. A further round of synthesis optimization was undertaken and it was found that the compound (5) with an ortho-chloro substituent showed reasonable herbicidal activity. Furthermore, they noticed that it exhibited the same unique bleaching symptomology observed for leptospermone (1, Fig. 4.3.1) [4]. Further optimiza-... 

Discovering antidotes to the issues raised by these and further questions motivates this chapter and our desire to assist the international concurrent engineering (CE) community advance the practice of CE for managing complex programs and projects. Om observation, elements of which we have demonstrated successfully for...
