Organization contributory factors

Burkholderia (formeriy Pseudomonas) cepacia is intrinsically resistant to a number of biocides, notably benzalkonium chloride and chlorhexidine. Again, the outer membrane is likely to act as a permeability barrier. By contrasL Ps. stutzeri (an organism implicated in eye infections caused by some cosmetic products) is invariably intrinsically sensitive to a range of biocides, including QACs and chlorhexidine. This organism contains less wall muramic acid than other pseudomonads but it is imclear as to whether this could be a contributory factor in its enhanced biocide susceptibility. [Pg.269]

The toxic effects must be seen when normal organisms or communities are exposed to the toxicant under controlled conditions, and any contributory factors should be manifested in the same way during controlled exposures. [Pg.511]

Increased concentration of toxic trace metals in the oceans, liberated by hydrothermal fluids from oceanic plateau lava piles, may well have been a contributory factor to the demise of some marine organisms around the CTB (Wilde et al., 1990). The upwelling of deep ocean trace metals and... [Pg.1818]

Nowadays the borderlines between inorganic chemistry, organic chemistry and physical chemistry are vanishing, due to the enormous mutual interaction of these fields. Organometallic and coordination chemistry, as well as photochemistry, have been strong contributory factors in this "overlap process". Therefore, the photochemistry of organometallic and coordination compounds provides very specific examples of this general phenomenon. [Pg.144]

This particular reaction is exothermic (94 kcal/mol) and will be self-perpetuating especially since the rates of organic chemical reactions usually double for every 10°C (18°F) rise in temperature. Furthermore, there has also been the suggestion that the heat release that accompanies the wetting of dried (or partially dried) coal may be a significant contributory factor in the onset of burning. [Pg.368]

Occupational and environmental medicine is a branch of medical practice specializing in disease and illness related to work and environmental exposures. Occupational health physicians diagnose and treat diseases and illness that may arise from work and exposure to hazardous environments. Such exposure may be a contributory factor in other diseases. Treatment may include various physical and occupational therapies to allow a return to work. Occupational health physicians also promote healthy workplaces and deal with workplace stresses. The professional organization in the United State is the American College of Occupational and Environmental Medicine (ACOEM). [Pg.18]

The uses of volatile organic solverrts (VOSs) are the major contributory factors towards envirorunerrtal pollution due to their abundant use (solvents eorrstitute more than 85% of the total mass utilization of a chemical process) and incorrrplete recovery efficiency (50-80%) [22]. Therefore, the major drive towards the mitiative of sustaiirable development in chetttical syrrthesis is focused on the replacemertt of the VOSs by solvent-free conditiorrs [23] to reduce the waste, time period, arrd total... [Pg.42]

Incidents that may harm patients are related to the health organization but also to contributory factors, care delivery problems and missing defenses and barriers (fig. 1). We learned in the past years a lot from civil aviation how a safety culture can be established. In medical education, beside a teaching culture we need a feedback culture to change the behavior and make people report unexpected outcomes in their field, and to end up with a safety culture. [Pg.109]

It is found that the above polarity may be reversed upon addition of species which may disturb the structure of the membrane and open it for transmission of larger ions. Such is the case if a quaternary ammonium salt is introduced near the membrane surface. It would appear that the organic cations are able to penetrate the membrane faster than the inorganic ions, so that they (temporarily at least) open the membrane structure and allow freer passage of inorganic ions. Such a mechanism has been postulated as a contributory factor in the control of the transmission of electrical impulses from one nerve cell to another and from nerve to muscle cells in an organism. [Pg.112]
