CPY Document (9 WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION INTERNATIONAL AGENCY FOR RESEARCH ON CANCER IARC MONOGRAPHS ON THE EVALUATION OF THE CARCINOGENIC RISK OF CHEMICALS TO HUMANS Wood, Leather and Sorne Associated Industries VOLUME 25 This publication represents the views and expert opinions of an IARC Working Group on the Evaluation of the Carcinogenic Risk of Chemicals to Humans which met in Lyon, 3-10 June 1980 February 1981 INTERNATIONAL AGENCY FOR RESEARCH ON CANCER IARC MONOGRAPHS ln 1971, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) initiated a programme on the evaluation of the carcinogenic risk of chemicals to humans involving the production of critically evaluated monographs on individual chemicals. 1 n 1980, the programme was expanded to include the evaluation of the carcinogenic risk associated with employment in specifie occupations. The objective of the programme is to elaborate and publish in the form of monographs critical reviews of data on carcinogenicity for chemicals and complex mixtures to which humans are known to be exposed, and on specifie occupational exposures, to evaluate these data in terms of human risk with the help of international working groups of experts in chemical carcinogenesis and related fields, and to indicate where additional research efforts are needed.

The fact that a monograph has been prepared on a chemical, complex mixture or occupation does not imply that a carcinogenic hazard is associated with the exposure, only that the published data have been examined. Equally, the fact that a chemical, complex mixture or occupation has not yet been evaluated in a monograph does not mean that it does not represent a carcinogenic hazard. Anyone who is aware of publ ished data that may alter an evaluation of the carcinogenic risk of a chemical, complex mixture or employment in an occupation is encouraged to make this information available to the Division of Environmental Carcinogenesis, 1 nternational Agency for Research on Cancer, Lyon, France, in order that the chemical, complex mixture or occupation may be considered for re-evaluation by a future Working Group. Although every effort is made to prepare the monographs as accurately as possible, mistakes may occur. Readers are requested to communicate any errors to the Division of Environmental Carcinogenesis,

  • Top 100 Italian Brands
    IITALTALBBRANDRAND 20112011 TOPTOP 100100 IITALIANTALIAN BBRANDSRANDS | ItalBrand 2011 | TOP Italian Brands | | 1 | About the ItalBrand In every country the different brands have become popular in different ways. And no matter how well global brands known in this country, national brands have the greatest impact on consumers. And today these are the brands that becomes a major and very valuable assets, because a strong brand, regardless of its scale allows the company to retain or to gain significant market share, and also provides an opportunity to actively develop and promote their products in foreign markets. Also the business are increasingly confronted with a situation where the brand has become one of the most expensive assets in the company's value, even compared with manufacturing facilities. And in such a situation, the cost of advertising is paid the most attention in mergers and acquisitions, as well as in public offerings of shares on stock markets or placing other types of securities in order to attract investment. And it is here necessary to solve the puzzle, when the company realizes the full value of their brand, but can not express it in concrete figures. After several researches made, the optimal solution was found, and since early 2010, the agency MPP Consulting has established long-term project of evaluation of national brands and in 2011 created the rating of the most expensive brands of Italy. The main task of rating ItalBrand 2011 was to determine the 100 most expensive Italian brands, as well as their current real market value, based on the financial performance of companies using such brands (trademarks), as well as the positions of each company in the market and prospects for development both companies and their brands.

A number of them are used for their multiple pharmacological activities. Ethano-phramacologically various plant parts are formulated and prescribed in the form of extracts and the decoctions for remedy of different diseases in many tribes. These activities are due to presence of bioactive secondary metabolites in the plant. Systematic and detailed investigation on the composition and pharmacological significance of medicinal plants should be conducted to standardize the formulations, based on ingredients. In the present review, naphthoquinone, naphthalene and naphthol derivatives isolated from Diospyros species are documented here with the pharmacologically important species of the genus. Keywords: Diospyros genus; species; Ebenaceae; pharmacological activities; naphthoquinones. INTRODUCTION: Diospyros genus belongs to the retic, laxative and stypic. Its dried flowers are reported to family Ebenaceae. The plants of Ebenaceae are wide be used in urinary, skin and blood diseases.

  • Deck Prep Sharkskin
    General Deck Staining Tips NEW DECKS TIPS • Select dry lumber. If possible use kiln dried lumber with moisture content less than 16%. Paint the deck boards as soon as possible as checking and splitting can occur within days of exposure to warm dry air. • If staining your deck with 724 Series SharkSkin® solid hide stain, prime all 6 sides of each deck board with 15130 Alkyd Stain Blocking Primer prior to installation to prevent moisture ingress into the underside of the deck. Trimmed boards should be primed while still accessible. A ground-level moisture ® barrier beneath the deck is also recommended for grade or near grade level decks in damp areas. • New Cedar decks that will be stained to lighter colours must be primed with a coat of 15130 Alkyd or 05130 Acrylic Stain Blocking Primer to protect against tannin stain bleeding through the topcoat. • Woods such as Pine and Yellow Cedar that are prone to mill glaze should be treated with SharkSkin® 80319 Mill Glaze Remover (follow label directions) or SharkSkin aggressively sand using 60 grit paper. • If possible, install the deck boards so that the growth rings are arching up and not down so if cupping occurs, water will drain o the boards as opposed to ponding in the center of the board. • Pressure treated woods should be allowed to dry for 2 – 4 weeks prior to installation depending on temperature and humidity conditions preferably away from direct sunlight. Pre-prime all 6 sides as per above only if staining with 724 Series SharkSkin® solid hide stain. Priming is not required when using 725 Series SharkSkin® translucent wood stain.

In this paper, the most relevant walnut plantations in Italy and Spain have been reviewed and analysed under a geographic and techni- cian management point of view. Between 2016 and 2019 a total of 96 plantations (15 - 25 years old) were visited distributed in the North-western part of the Mediterranean basin. A statistical analysis (linear model no interaction and PCA) was then performed to evaluate the relative importance of some environmental and management variables for walnut trees in analysed plantations. Results highlighted a variable situation with many different adopted planting schemes across the regions as well as a not standardised spatial layout and management type (thinning). Lower densities and smaller trees were adopted in Italy with about 200 trees ha-1 versus 330 trees ha-1 in Spain. In addition to the age of the plantation as one of the most influencing parameters also the plantation density and the average crown diameter were highly statistically significant.

Historical Setting of the Guianan Plant Heritage The Guianas are embedded high in the green shoulder of northern South America, an area once known as the "Wild Coast". They are the only non-Latin American countries in South America, and are situated just north of the Equator in a configuration with the Amazon River of Brazil to the south and the Orinoco River of Venezuela to the west. The three Guianas comprise, from west to east, the countries of Guyana (area: 83,000 square miles; capital: Georgetown), Surinam (area: 63, 037 square miles; capital: Paramaribo) and French Guiana (area: 34, 740 square miles; capital: Cayenne). Perhaps the earliest physical contact between Europeans and the present-day Guianas occurred in 1500 when the Spanish navigator Vincente Yanez Pinzon, after discovering the Amazon River, sailed northwest and entered the Oyapock River, which is now the eastern boundary of French Guiana.
