Abstract:
Silicosis, a debilitating occupational lung disease caused by inhaling crystalline silica, continues to be a significant global health issue, especially with the increasing use of engineered stone (ES) surfaces containing high silica content. Traditional diagnostic methods, dependent on radiological interpretation, have low sensitivity, especially, in the early stages of the disease, and present variability between evaluators. This study explores the efficacy of deep learning techniques in automating the screening and staging of silicosis using chest X-ray images.Utilizing a comprehensive data

Abstract:
Silicosis caused by engineered stone (ES-silicosis) is an emerging worldwide issue characterized by inflammation and fibrosis in the lungs. To our knowledge, only a few reports have investigated leukocyte/lymphocyte subsets in ES-silicosis patients. The present study was designed to explore the proportions of the main lymphocyte subsets in ES-silicosis patients stratified into two groups, one with simple silicosis (SS) and the other with a more advanced state of the disease, defined as progressive massive fibrosis (PMF).

Abstract:
Engineered stone silicosis has become an occupational epidemic disease that progresses rapidly to progressive massive fibrosis with respiratory failure and death, and there is no effective treatment. Silica deposition in the lung triggers a series of inflammatory reactions with the participation of multiple cytokines and cellular mediators whose role in the development and progression of the disease is largely unknown. We hypothesized that differences in plasma cytokine levels exist between patients diagnosed with simple silicosis (SS) and patients diagnosed with progressive massive fibrosis (

Abstract:
Abstract Introduction Silicosis is a pneumoconiosis resulting from the inhalation of respirable crystalline silica (RCS). It is widely acknowledged that occupational exposure to RCS occurs in various industries. In occupational health practice, silicosis is mainly detected when the disease is already advanced. Early detection of RCS-exposure is necessary to assess the exposure risk and prevent possible lung damage. This observational study aims to validate a simple, non-invasive diagnostic breath test for the early detection of silicosis in an at-risk population by correlating breath analysis

Abstract:
L’adhérence des élastomères silicones au même titre que celle des polymères en général requiert un bon mouillage des supports sur lesquels ils sont appliqués. Il est en effet bien évident que le développement des interactions entre support et adhésif est conditionné par la qualité du mouillage. Or, le niveau des interactions et les propriétés mécaniques de l’adhésif sont deux phénomènes essentiels pour une bonne performance du collage réalisé. Après avoir présenté les compositions silicones auto-adhérentes et leurs principes de formulation, on discute les résultats d’une étude menée sur l’étalement des silicones sur un support modèle. Les divers régimes d’étalement sont ainsi pris en compte dans les multiples situations rencontrées (fluides simples, fluides réactifs du support, fluides à seuil d’écoulement et fluides réactifs à seuil d’écoulement). Dans chacun de ces cas des compositions silicones ont modélisé ces fluides. Il apparaît ainsi clairement que le renforcement de la rhéologie des colles n’est pas favorable à leur étalement sur les supports à assembler. L’application présentée visait une composition adhésive à caractère thixotrope ; luttant contre les principes exposés et les classiques compromis de formulation, une colle performante a été développée ; elle est discutée.

Abstract:
Des dérivés de la β-cyclodextrine amphiphiles et fluorés ont été synthétisés (perfluoro-β-cyclodextrines : β-CD-C F 8 ) selon la méthode brevetée de Skiba et coll. A partir de ce nouveau type de matériau, des nanocapsules ont été préparées par la méthode de nanocristallisation. Les nanocapsules de perfluorocarbones (NC-PFC) ainsi obtenues, sont des vésicules sphériques et homogènes avec un diamètre moyen de 335 nm et un potentiel zéta de –73 mV. Elles sont stables pendant 35 jours à 4°C et à 25°C. Ces NC-PFC constituent un transporteur perfluoré potentiel pour diverses formes pharmaceutiques. Leur potentiel comme système de libération contrôlée de l’oxygène a été évalué. Les NC-PFC permettent une libération prolongée de l’oxygène avec un effet retard comparativement à l’eau. Les résultats de cette étude suggèrent que les cyclodextrines fluorées pourraient constituer un nouveau composant prometteur pour la formation de nanocapsules. La solubilisation de la perfluorodécaline dans l’eau sous forme de nanocapsules constitue donc un outil simple pour véhiculer et délivrer l’oxygène in vivo .

Abstract:
Because of the great importance of the surface properties of the polysiloxanes, this topic is treated separately in this chapter. Hydrophobic polysiloxanes having simple aliphatic or aromatic side groups have surfaces that show essentially no attraction to water. In fact, polysiloxanes can serve as water repellants. This property is very useful for applications such as protective coatings on historical monuments and for controlling the surfaces of other polymers, sensors, and quantum dots. Hydrophobic surfaces can be readily regenerated if the surface becomes damaged. Regeneration occurs by rearrangements of the polysiloxane chains so that the hydrophobic methyl groups are once again covering the surface. The flexibility of the siloxane chain backbone facilitates this process. It is also possible to prepare hydrophobic films using methyl-modified siloxane melting gels. Glass surfaces or wool fibers can be coated with polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) to make them more hydrophobic. In some cases, it is necessary to modify a polysiloxane surface to make it hydrophilic or hydrophobic. Hydrophobization is one aspect of the general topic of modifying and managing the properties of polymer surfaces. An important example involves soft contact lenses that contain PDMS, which is often used because of its very high permeability to oxygen, which is required for metabolic processes within the eye. Such lenses do not feel comfortable however because they do not float properly on the aqueous tears that coat the eye. There are a number of ways to modify the surfaces. There is even a way to make “unreactive” silicones react with inorganic surfaces. In some applications it is useful to have hydrophilicity in the bulk of the polymer instead of just at the surface. One way of doing this is by simultaneously end linking hydrophilic poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) chains and hydrophobic PDMS chains. Another way is to make a PDMS network with a trifunctional organosilane R’Si(OR) end linker that contains a hydrophilic R’ side chain, such as a polyoxide. Treating only the surfaces is another possibility, for example, by adding hydrophilic brushes by vapor deposition/hydrolysis cycles. Such hydrophilic polysiloxanes can also serve as surfactants.

", cases such as White v Jones will not come to be regarded as actions in contract, since it must be the contract between the relevant contracting parties which expressly or impliedly confers a benefit on the third party and, in White v Jones, it was the will, rather than the contract which conferred the relevant benefit. The second question above asks if T can seek to rely on a defence contained in the contract between A and B in an action brought against him by A or B. Typically, such cases will involve the question of whether T is entitled to the protection of an exemption clause. Many commercial transactions involve many parties. Typical examples include international trade dealings under which there is a complex of relations between the buyer, seller, carrier and other parties involved in the process of shipment of a cargo. Similarly, many contracts entered into for the purposes of the construction of a building or a ship may involve a number of subcontractors as well as the party commissioning the work and the main contractor. These multipartite relationships are often difficult to explain in terms of traditional rules of the law of contract which appear to treat the two-party contract as the norm. Where exemption clauses are concerned, a simple application of the doctrine of privity of contract would suggest that a third party cannot claim the benefit of such a provision if it is part of a contract between two other parties. If a firm of stevedores, employed by a carrier to unload a cargo, negligently damages goods carried under the terms of a contract of carriage made between the consignor of goods and the carrier, the question may arise whether the stevedore, in an action brought by the purchaser of the cargo, can claim the benefit of an exclusion clause in the contract between the consignor and the carrier which purports to protect both the carrier and the stevedore. Commercial reality suggests that if the risk of loss or damage to a cargo has already passed to the buyer then he should be insured against that risk. Accordingly, since there is likely to be a valid insurance policy covering the risk of damage in the course of unloading, it makes commercial sense for the stevedores to be able to claim the protection of the exemption clause. However, a rigid application of the doctrine of privity of contract in this type of case would mean that the stevedores could be sued for the damage to the cargo despite the fact that the buyer was insured against that risk. The commercial reality approach suggests that there should be a doctrine of vicarious immunity under which the third party may rely upon an exemption clause in a contract to which he is not a party, provided it is the intention of all concerned that the benefit should be extended to such a person. However, the doctrine of vicarious immunity was later rejected by the House of Lords in Scruttons Ltd v Midland Silicones Ltd, where the." In Sourcebook on Contract Law.

Abstract:
Bonding, coating, painting, and sealing operations are well known to be extremely sensitive to the substrate surface composition prior to adhesive, sealant, or coating application. Predictable product performance requires controlled surface chemical composition. One way surface composition can change is through contamination. This can occur via contact with contaminated surfaces (e.g. fixtures used for storage, human skin) or via aerosol routes. Simply depending on process protocols to protect surfaces from contamination are insufficient: there are multiple documented cases of silicone contami
