IV. EMBARGOES BY BELLIGERENT STATES. General.—Not only have the neutral States placed restrictions upon export but the belligerent States have established embargoes upon certain goods to certain ports, or even the transit of certain goods. Such embar- goes necessarily interfere seriously with the free move- ment of commerce. The extent to which ambargoes have been applied is illustrated in the British and German regulations. In addition to the embargoes, belligerents have issued proclamations in which were made known the names of persons or firms in certain countries to which exports might be made. BRITISH EMBARGOES. [Corrected according to the latest available information.] Department of State, August 28, 1915. Whereas by section 8 of "The customs'and inland revenue act, 1879," it is enacted that the exportation of arms, ammunition, and gunpowder, military and naval stores, and any articles which we shall judge capa- ble of being converted into or made useful in increasing the quantity of military or naval stores, provisions, or any sort of victual which may be used as food for man may be prohibited by proclamation; And whereas by section 1 of ''The exportation of arms act, 1900." it is enacted that we may by proclamation prohibit the exportation of all or any of the following articles, namely, arms, ammunition, mili- tary and naval stores, and any article which we shall judge capable of being converted into or made useful in increasing the quantity of arms, ammunition, or military or naval stores, to any country or place therein named whenever we shall judge such prohibition to be expe- dient in order to prevent such arms, ammunition, military or naval stores being used against our subjects or forces or against any forces engaged or which may be engaged in military or naval operations in cooperation with our forces; whereas section 1 of "'The customs (exportation prohibition An by ) act, 1914," it is enacted that section 8 of the aforesaid •Customs and inland revenue act, 1879," shall have effect whilst a state of war in 57 58 BELLIGERENT EMBARGOES. which we are engaged exists as if in addition to the articles therein mentioned there were included all other articles of every description; And whereas it is further enacted by section 2 of "The customs (exportation prohibition) act, 1914," that any proclamation or order in council made under section 8, as so amended, of "The customs and inland revenue act, 1879," may, whilst a state of war exists, be varied or added to by an order made by the Lords of the Council on the recom- mendation of the board of trade; And whereas by section 1 of "The customs (exportation restriction) act, 1914," it is enacted that section 1 of "The exportation of arms act, 1900," shall have effect whilst a state of war in which we are engaged exists as if, in addition to the articles therein mentioned, there were included all other articles of every description; And whereas it is further enacted by section 2 of "The customs (exportation restriction) act, 1914," that any proclamation made under section 1 of the exportation of arms act, 1900, may, whether the procla- mation was made before or after the passing of the act now in recital, be varied or added to by an order made by the Lords of the Council on the recommendation of the board of trade; And whereas a proclamation dated the 3d February, 1915, and vari- ous orders dated, respectively, the 2d and the 18th March, the 15th, the 21st, and the 26th April, the 6th and the 20th May, the 2d and the 24th June, and the 8th and the 19th July, 1915, prohibiting the expor- tation of certain articles therein referred to from the United Kingdom to certain or all destinations, have been issued in pursuance of the aforesaid powers; And whereas it is expedient that the said proclamation and orders should be consolidated, with amendments and additions, and that such proclamation and orders should be revoked; And whereas we have deemed it expedient to prohibit the exporta- tion of the articles hereinafter enumerated: Now, therefore, we have thought fit, by and with the advice of our Privy Council, to issue this our royal proclamation, declaring, and it is hereby declared, that the above-mentioned proclamation and orders be and the same are hereby revoked; And we have further thought fit, by and with the advice aforesaid, and in virtue and in exercise of the powers aforesaid, further to declare, and it is hereby declared, as follows: (A) That the exportation of the fol- Aircraft of all kinds, etc.—Continued. lowing goods be prohibited to all des- High-tensile steel tubes. tinations: Aeroplane instruments (aneroids, baro- Air craft of all kinds, including aeroplanes, graphs, revolution indicators), airships, and balloons and their corapo- Aeroplane turnbuckles. nent parts, together with accessories and Steel stampings, articles suitable for use in connection Aeroplane engines and parts, with air craft, including: Animals, pack, saddle, and draft, suit- Noninflammable "celluloid " sheet (or able for use in war. similar transparent material nonsolu- Cannon and other ordnance and machine ble in lubricating oil, petrol, or guns and parts thereof, water).

    Morpholine: a Glazing Agent for Fruits and Vegetables Coating/Waxing (IJSTE/ Volume 2 / Issue 11 / 119) with Glazing Agent

    IJSTE - International Journal of Science Technology & Engineering | Volume 2 | Issue 11 | May 2016 ISSN (online): 2349-784X Morpholine: A Glazing Agent for Fruits and Vegetables Coating/Waxing Rupak Kumar Suman Kapur Research Scholar Senior Professor Department of Biological Sciences Department of Biological Sciences BITS-Pilani, Hyderabad Campus, Hyderabad-500078, India BITS-Pilani, Hyderabad Campus, Hyderabad-500078, India Abstract The saying “an apple a day keeps the doctor away” probably gives us the impression that apples are the healthiest fruits. But besides the fact that it rhymes, does it really have no adverse effects if we eat a bright red wax coated apple every day? Morpholine (C4H9NO) is a chemical used as emulsifier in the preparation of wax coatings for fruits and vegetables to help them last longer and remain fresh even during prolonged transit. Morpholine oleate is added to wax as it enables spreading wax in water based liquid for use as a protective coating to prevent contamination by pests and diseases. Morpholine alone does not appear to pose a health concern because morpholine itself is neither a carcinogen nor a teratogen and does not cause chronic toxicity. However, it is a precursor for potent carcinogenic nitrosamines. Keywords: Carcinogen, Emulsifier, Morpholine, Teratogen, Wax Coating ________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I. INTRODUCTION The practice of fruit/vegetable coating was accepted long before their associated chemistries were understood, and are still practiced till date. The first wax coating was applied to citrus fruits in 12th-13th centuries in China. Today, it has expanded rapidly for retaining quality of a wide variety of foods/vegetables, with total annual revenue exceeding $100 million [1].

After recording the dry weight of your fiber, wet the fiber out in warm or hot water. STEP I: TANNIN 2 oz. tannic acid per pound of fiber (dry weight) OR: 4 oz. tara sawdust per pound of fiber, extracted twice OR: 3 oz Catechu (Cutch) extract per pound of fiber with optional 1/2 oz copper mordant 1. Dissolve tannic acid or catechu extract in hot water. 2. Heat the solution to approximately 200 F. 3. Remove from heat. 4. Enter the silk (or other fiber) that has been thoroughly wet out in warm to hot water. 5. Set to soak for at least 24 hrs, stirring occasionally. STEP II: IRON 1/2 to 1 oz Ferrous Sulphate per pound of fiber Use the lesser amount for fine silk yarn and soft wools. Use the greater amount for wild silk and other fibers. 1. Dissolve the iron in warm water. 2. Soak fiber in a mild soap solution about 15 minutes to neutralize the acid in the tannin (which couters the effect of the iron). This step is not necessary if you used Catechu for STEP I. 3. Add fiber to warm iron solution and soak for about 20 minutes. 4. Remove fiber from iron solution, wring excess solution from fiber, and hang to air 20 minutes to 1 hour.

    How to Make an Electret the Device That Permanently Maintains an Electric Charge by C. L. Strong Scientific America, November, 1960 Danger Level 4: (POSSIBLY LETHAL!!) Alternative Science Resources World Clock Synthesis Home --------------------- THE HISTORY OF SCIENCE IS A TREASURE house for the amateur experimenter. For example, many devices invented by early workers in electricity and magnetism attract little attention today because they have no practical application, yet these devices remain fascinating in themselves. Consider the so-called electret. This device is a small cake of specially prepared wax that has the property of permanently maintaining an electric field; it is the electrical analogue of a permanent magnet. No one knows in precise detail how an electret works, nor does it presently have a significant task to perform. George O. Smith, an electronics specialist of Rumson, N.J., points out, however, that this is no obstacle to the enjoyment of the electret by the amateur. Moreover, the amateur with access to a source of high-voltage current can make an electret at virtually no cost. "For more than 2,000 years," writes Smith, "it was suspected that the magnetic attraction of the lodestone and the electrostatic attraction of the electrophorus were different manifestations of the same phenomenon. This suspicion persisted from the time of Thales of Miletus (600 B.C.) to that of William Gilbert (A.D. 1600). After the publication of Gilbert's treatise De Magnete, the suspicion graduated into a theory that was supported by many experiments conducted to show that for every magnetic effect there was an electric analogue, and vice versa.

    Special Forest Product Markets in the Pacific Northwest with Global Implications

    Chapter 3 Special forest product markets in the Pacific Northwest with global implications Keith A. Blatner Associate Professor Department of Natural Resource Sciences Washington State University Pullman, WA 99164-6410 would like to first give credit to my colleague who has worked with me I on many of these projects. Bill Schlosser was my former graduate student at the University of Idaho. He is now at Michigan State University and shortly will be a USAID employee in Khabarovsk in the Russian Far East. He and I researched special forest products together for about 6 or 7 years. In the course of today’s presentation, I’m going to focus primarily on products from the Pacific Northwest—major products, their markets, and economic contribution. However, I’m going to digress at various times to show the international flavor of this market. There is a growing industry on the eastside of the Cascades, where I work. In fact, many of the products that are harvested on the eastside currently are marketed and processed through westside processors, a phenomenon that is slowly changing. There are large international markets for a variety of products. The special forest products industry consists of several specialized industries. The floral greens industry uses wild-harvested evergreen plant materials in floral arrangements. Typically, these plants are flexible and have long-lasting properties so they can be used in fresh or dried arrangements, often as background material. Moss is used as covering for the base of arrangements, or in pots or baskets. Christmas ornamentals are bough products, primarily cones, that are used in Christmas wreaths, swags, and door charms.
  • Plant Dye Identification in Japanese Woodblock Prints

    Plant Dye Identification in Japanese Woodblock Prints

    Plant Dye Identification in Japanese Woodblock Prints Michele Derrick, Joan Wright, Richard Newman oodblock prints were first pro- duced in Japan during the sixth Wto eighth century but it was not until the Edo period (1603–1868) that the full potential of woodblock printing as a means to create popular imagery for mass consumption developed. Known broadly as ukiyo-e, meaning “pictures of the float- ing world,” these prints depicted Kabuki actors, beautiful women, scenes from his- tory or legend, views of Edo, landscapes, and erotica. Prints and printed books, with or without illustrations, became an inte- gral part of daily life during this time of peace and stability. Prints produced from about the 1650s through the 1740s were printed in black line, sometimes with hand-applied color (see figure 1). These col- ors were predominantly mineral (inorganic) pigments supplemented by plant-based (organic) colorants. Since adding colors to a print by hand was costly and slowed pro- duction, the block carvers eventually hit upon a means to create a multicolor print using blocks that contained an “L” shaped groove carved into the corner and a straight groove carved further up its side in order to align the paper to be printed (see figure 2). These guides, called kento, are located Figure 1.

P.PSH.1165 – Meat extract Executive summary We have investigated what is desirable and feasible for extracts from red meat and organs and designed a low fidelity minimum viable product (MVP) concept. Meat-derived flavours that stimulate the gustatory senses and evoke memories of home-cooked meals were identified as strongly desirable, especially with umami and kokumi taste enhancers, roasty overtones, a slightly sweeter taste profile and an enhanced feel of creaminess. To determine desirability, we explored the factors influencing the nutritional intake of older age New Zealanders as a model.
