In the particular case of phenol used in combination with a dry healing technique, topical antibiotics can be applied directly onto the powder mask. The powder will come away (not a serious consequence) and the epidermis will be laid bare. A moist technique should then be used locally. 

It is difficult to diagnose and impossible to monitor herpes outbreaks, large or small, beneath an opaque occlusive mask of bismuth subgallate or thymol iodide. If there is any hint of herpes, any acute pain between the 4th and 7th day after the phenol, the powder mask" should be removed immediately in order to examine the skin thoroughly. If the doctor s suspicions are confirmed, the herpes should be treated as described above. Once the diagnosis has been made, the powder mask should not be replaced, and the moist technique should be used instead, with regular application of an antibiotic cream (e.g. bacitracin) to avoid secondary bacterial infection. 

During the phase of skin regeneration that follows a phenol peel, the dry technique should be used instead of the moist technique that most often causes milia to form. Inclusion cysts rarely occur when the dry technique is used, and if they do, they are small, few in number and leave no marks after excision. 

It is common for acneiform dermatitis to develop under greasy dressings (see also the section above on microbial infections) after deep peels treated with the moist technique. Vaseline in fact creates an impermeable layer that acts as total occlusion. It is known that bacterial proliferation is much more rapid under occlusion than in the open air. Antibiotics and standard local treatments are used to treat post-peel acne. 

Bleaching Powder. This material, known siace 1798, is made by chlorination of slightly moist hydrated lime, calcium hydroxide [1305-62-0] Ca(OH)2- It has the empirical formula Ca(OCl)2 CaCl2 Ca(OH)2 2H20. Its compositioa, loag a subject of coatroversy, was estabHshed by phase studies, microscopy, and x-ray diffraction techniques (241). The initial chlorination products are monobasic calcium chloride [14031-38-4] and dibasic calcium hypochlorite [12394-14-8] ... 

The role of the stress in embrittlement and stress-corrosion processes has been examined in some detail by employing the slow strain-rate technique . Specimens of alloy 7179-T651 tested in air or in vacuum after pre-exposure to water at 70° C or in water at various potentials at ambient temperature exhibited a reversible embrittlement in excess of that arising from testing in moist air . The embrittlement was attributed to hydrogen absorption, and recovery was thought to be due to loss of hydrogen (particularly under vacuum) or to diffusion to traps. Potentiostatic tests revealed... 

Thermogravimetry is a valuable technique for the assessment of the purity of materials. Analytical reagents, especially those used in titrimetric analysis as primary standards, e.g. sodium carbonate, sodium tetraborate, and potassium hydrogenphthalate, have been examined. Many primary standards absorb appreciable amounts of water when exposed to moist atmospheres. TG data can show the extent of this absorption and hence the most suitable drying temperature for a given reagent may be determined. 

The technique of graft copolymerization is used for the production of radiation-modified fabrics and fibers. The process consists of saturating the fabrics with vinyl monomers and then irradiating it in moist state with accelerated electrons. The fabrics thus produced have improved properties such as resistance to wrinkling and shrinkage, resistance to fire, color-fastness, good launderability, and dissipation of static charge. 

A new approach to the analysis of the carcinogenic TSNA in moist snuff tobacco is based on SFE with methanol-modified carbon dioxide. Extracted TSNA are trapped across a glass cartridge filled with Tenax GR, from which they are subsequently released by thermal desorption and analyzed by capillary GC-TEA LOD was <2 ng/g. The technique is fast, reproducible, highly selective and sensitive617. SFE with carbon dioxide was also used in the analysis of TSNA in smokeless tobacco. It revealed the presence of higher levels of 4-(methylnitrosamino)-l-(3-pyridyl)-l-butanone (300) than had been determined earlier by conventional methods618. 

This technique is the most popular of the immunolabelmg techniques. All immunolabeling steps are carried out at room temperature, and the various reagents are placed dropwise on a piece of Parafilm in a Petn dish. If required, the chamber can be kept moist by inclusion of several pieces of damp filter paper. 

Among the techniques discussed, moist heat is the most economical and efficient for the general sterilization requirements of fermentation. Therefore, the following four sections describe cell death kinetics and sterilization operations utilizing moist heat.
