Three Corpses

Five ovens were in two crematoria, and three corpses were introduced in each oven [one in each muffle], i.e., there were three openings (muffles) in each oven. In one crematorium with five ovens [and fifteen muffles], one could incinerate fifteen corpses in one hour. ... 

If you want to pass through a fire, ingest one pill and you will not burn. Ingesting this Medicine for one hundred days, the Three Corpses (sanshi) and the Nine Worms (jiuchong) will be destroyed, and you will live a long life free from death. 

The Three Corpses and the Nine Worms are freqnently mentioned in Daoist texts as representations of the agents that cause death. The last sentence translated above also is not fonnd in the Liquid Pearl, which instead explicates the relation between mercnry, worms, and carp gall, saying Worms and the fish gall are Essences of Yin, and mercury is the Essence of Yang. Therefore Yin can control zhi) Yang, and thus the Medicine becomes fixed (fu) and does not dare to escape. The Perfected, the Divine Men, and the immortals keep this method secret, and it cannot be transmitted (1.12a). 

The Greek Army has a total strength of 130,000 men, exclusive of the National Defense Corps battalions, which add another 50,000. It has eight divisions, and three independent brigades. These operate under three corps commands and the separate military command of the Peloponessus. Its arms are British, except for some batteries of American mountain guns and a considerable number of American 50-caliber machine... 

Iodine plant locations in the United States and Japan are dictated primarily by the availabiHty of natural brines or bitterns containing adequate amounts of iodine. In 1992, the United States had three iodine-producing companies Woodward Iodine Corp., North American Brine Resources, and loChem. In Japan there are five iodine-producing companies, with over 30 plants Ise, Godo, Nippo, Nitten, and Kanto. AH these companies deHver iodine as flaked material except Ise, which also produces pfiUed iodine. 

Malt symps, which are extracts of conventional or specialty malts, are produced by three companies in the United States Breiss Malting Co., Malt Products Corp., and Crompton Knowles Corp. Malt extracts are used in a variety of food appHcations and by microbrewers and home brewers. 

Of the three worldwide manufacturers of poly(ethylene oxide) resins. Union Carbide Corp. offers the broadest range of products. The primary quaUty control measure for these resins is the concentrated aqueous solution viscosity, which is related to molecular weight. Specifications for Polyox are summarized in Table 4. Additional product specifications frequendy include moisture content, particle size distribution, and residual catalyst by-product level. 

According to the U.S. International Trade Commission s Synthetic Organic Chemicals, Production and Sales, 1987, the three manufacturers of diphenylamine are Rubicon, Inc., Aristech Chemical Corp., and Uniroyal Chemical Co. No production figures have been given siace 1974, but U.S. production ia the range of 5,000—10,000 t/yr appears reasonable. 

The main producers of benzene in Canada are the Nova Corp. of Alberta, Petro-Canada, Inc., and Shell Canada Ltd. These three companies have an armual capacity of 567,000 t. Most Canadian benzene is obtained from catalytic reformate, pyrolysis gasoline, and hydrodealkylation. Coal is not an important source of benzene in Canada. 

U.S. Borax Research Corp., Anaheim, California, markets several borate esters under the trademark BORESTER. These include triethanolamine borate (BORESTER 20), tricresyl borate (m- and p-isomers) (BORESTER 8), and the biborate (4) (BORESTER 7). Whereas the chemical name for (4) is given in Table 1, it is commonly referred to as trihexylene glycol biborate [26545-48-2] and is prepared by the reaction of two moles of boric acid and three moles of hexylene glycol. 

There are two main processes for the synthesis of ethyl alcohol from ethylene. The eadiest to be developed (in 1930 by Union Carbide Corp.) was the indirect hydration process, variously called the strong sulfuric acid—ethylene process, the ethyl sulfate process, the esterification—hydrolysis process, or the sulfation—hydrolysis process. This process is stiU in use in Russia. The other synthesis process, designed to eliminate the use of sulfuric acid and which, since the early 1970s, has completely supplanted the old sulfuric acid process in the United States, is the direct hydration process. This process, the catalytic vapor-phase hydration of ethylene, is now practiced by only three U.S. companies Union Carbide Corp. (UCC), Quantum Chemical Corp., and Eastman Chemical Co. (a Division of Eastman Kodak Co.). UCC imports cmde industrial ethanol, CIE, from SADAF (the joint venture of SABIC and Pecten [Shell]) in Saudi Arabia, and refines it to industrial grade.

As identified under the DOE, there are three levels of SSHO qual-ifieations. These requirements are usually presented in job speeifieations and earefully outline baekground and experienee levels required. Under the general industry and the Army Corps of Engineers you may find some other variations. The following outline will deseribe the three basie types of professionals. 

This section deals with the procedure used by American Polymer Standards Corp. in the manufacture of GPC/SEC gels. The reaction is performed in a three-neck flask equipped with a reflux condenser, a mechanical stirrer, and a thermometer. First, prepare the water phase and then the organic phase. After mixing the organic phase into the water phase, stir at 300 to 400 rpm for 2 hr at 40°C. Heat to 70°C and continue mixing at 150 rpm for 10 hr. Cool to room temperature, (RT), dilute with water, and filter. Wash the gel with water, acetone, toluene, and again with acetone. Dry at 70°C for 12 hr, classify the gel, and package.

Propanone, l-chloro-l,l,3,3,3-pentafluoro-] (b.p. 7.8° available from PCR, Inc. or Allied Chemical Corp.) are combined in a flask fitted with a dry ice condenser and a magnetic stirring bar. The refluxing mixture is stirred for 4-0 hours and then allowed to warm gradually to room temperature. The contents of the flask are extracted three times with anhydrous ether, and the combined extracts are distilled at atmospheric pressure. After the ether has been removed, continued distillation gives 22.8-28.5 g. (55-69%) of l,l,l-trichloro-3,3,3-trifluoroacetone, b.p. 83.5-84.5°, infrared (film) 1790 cm. - This compound is stored at room temperature in a tightly stoppered bottle. In the absence of reliable toxicity data, it should be handled with normal precautions. 

It should be noted that HMX is formed as a by-product in all three of these processes along with a variety of linear polynitramines. Sub-. sequently, workers at the Holston Ordnance Works (now the Holston Defense Corp) (Ref 3)...

In Section 23.1 of this Chapter, the method for obtaining organic solvent-resistant microorganisms was described. This invention was awarded to AIST [103] and was shared with Tonen Corp. The microorganisms capable of desulfurization were mutated without jeopardizing the BDS catalytic properties leading to development of three P. putida strains reported in Section 23.1. 

C30 oil, homopolymer of 1-decene, Ethyl Corp., Inc.) served as the start-up solvent for the experiments. The catalyst (ca. 5-8 g) was added to start-up solvent (ca. 300 g) in the CSTR. The reactor temperature was then raised to 270°C at a rate of l°C/min. The catalyst was activated using CO at a space velocity of 3.0 sl/h/g Fe at 270°C and 175 psig for 24 h. FTS was then started by adding synthesis gas mixture (H2 CO ratio of 0.7) to the reactor at a space velocity of either 3.1 or 5.0 sl/h/g Fe. The conversions of CO and H2 were obtained by gas chromatography (GC) analysis (HP Quad Series Micro-GC equipped with thermal conductivity detectors) of the product gas mixture. The reaction products were collected in three traps maintained at different temperatures—a hot trap (200°C), a warm trap (100°C), and a cold trap (0°C). The products were separated into different fractions (rewax, wax, oil, and aqueous) for quantification by GC analysis. However, the oil and the wax (liquid at room temperature) fractions were mixed prior to GC analysis.
