Crow 1978). Unlike adolescent acne, chloracne may involve almost every follicle in an involved area and may be more disfiguring than adolescent acne (Worobec and DiBeneditto 1984). Chloracne usually occurs on the face and neck, but may extend to the upper arms, back, chest, abdomen, outer thighs, and genitalia. In mild cases, the lesions may clear several months after exposure ceases, but in severe cases they may still be present 30 years after initial onset (Crow 1978 Moses and Prioleau 1985). In some cases lesions may resolve temporarily and reappear later. Scarring may result from the healing process. Other chlorinated organic chemicals can also cause chloracne. 

Increased Healing This drag or chemical agent benefit speeds up the body s natural healing process. While under the influences of this drag, the character s natural healing rate is increased. The user recovers 2 hit points per character level in hit points per evening of rest (8 hours of sleep), or 3 hit points per character level in hit points per day of complete bed rest. Cost 4... 

A closer look at the mechanism of hydrothermal dealumination (hydrolysis of Si-O-Al bonds) illustrates that a healing process also takes place during this transformation (3), but contrary to the chemical substitution highlighted above, the source of Si originates from the zeolite, and results in a partial destruction of the zeolites and Si migration. The mesoporosity created during the process is beneficial to the diffusion of the large molecules of oil. 

The rate equation in the thermal explosion theory is then expressed with the rate constant, Aa exp[- E/R II. alone. In other words, the rate of the exothermic decomposition reaction, in the early stages of the self-healing process, of a chemical of the TD type, including every gas-permeable oxidatively-heating substance, is thought, in the theory, to depend only on one variable, T, i.e., the temperature of the chemical, included in the rate constant. It is thus seen that the theory is in fact very simple by virtue of the /croth-ordcr assumption. 

Several self-healing processes, in the early stages, of 2 cm of a chemical of the TD type, including every oxidatively-heating substance, have been simulated by generating the electric heat at several rates, by means of a constant voltage D.C. power source, in a resistor-thermocouple composite, in place of 2... 

The individual values of the two coefficients, a and h, of Eq. (44) holding for the individual self-healing processes, in the early stages, of 2 cm each of the nine powdery chemicals of the TD type, other than powdery AIBN, confined each in the closed cell and subjected each to the adiabatic self-healing test were also calculated by applying the regression analysis to the individual combinations of the value of nA( with that of l/J,- and are presented in Tabic 15. 

The temporal sequence of events following implantation of a biomaterial is illustrated in Figure 1. The size, shape, and chemical and physical properties of the biomaterial may be responsible for variations in the intensity and duration of the inflammatory or wound-healing process. Hius, intensity and/or time duration of the inflammatory reaction may characterize the biocompatibility of a biomaterial.
