Benign Catalysis and Expansion of Cyclobenzoins
Cyclobenzoins are a fledgling class of macrocycles first reported by the Miljanić group in 2015. Since the first reports, several modifications to the original two compounds, cyclotribenzoin and cyclotetrabenzoin, have been reported, but no developments on the production have been reported. Whether …

Environmentally benign manufacturing of three dimensional integrated circuits
… in order to create environmentally aware and benign technologies. This methodology also helps to identify potential performance and cost issues in novel technologies by taking a transparent and bottoms-up assessment approach. This methodology is applied to the evaluation of the MIT 3D IC …

Minimally invasive CT-guiding excision of benign bone tumours
… of osteoid osteoma (OO) and other small primary benign lesions of bone has evolved over the past 50 years from open surgery with wide resection margins to less invasive surgical techniques such as image guided intralesional excision and percutaneous radiofrequency ablation. We aim to evaluate the …

Environmentally Benign Extraction Processes in Analytical Separation of Essential Oils
… (SC-CO2) is considered to be environmentally benign and has been used in the development of a wide-range of alternative processes in various industries to totally or partially eliminate the use of organic solvents. Conventional processes for essential oil extraction involve steam distillation …

Development of environmentally benign microencapsulation with polymer microspheres and liposomes
Microencapsulation means applying a shell-like coating to encapsulate the contents of interest in a particle form with a size range of few micrometers or below. In this work, aqueous liposome systems and polymer based encapsulation of fine particles in supercritical CO_2 were studied. Compared to …

Development of Feedback Microwave Thermotherapy in Symptomatic Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia.
… and safety in the treatment of patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). The application of two biophysical equations in the PLFT software is explained. The calculations provide the intraprostatic ?blood flow index? and amount of accumulated coagulation necrosis during treatment. The …

Green chemistry : dense carbon dioxide and water as environmentally benign reaction media
(cont.) was investigated in scCO₂, and the cycloaddition between cyclopentadiene and methyl vinyl ketone (MVK) was studied in an scCO₂/liquid water environment. Nitrogen chemistry, specifically the synthesis of nitrogen heterocycles from amines, was also studied in scCO₂ and scCO₂/liquid water …

Benign Processing of High Performance Polymeric Foams of Poly(arylene ether sulfone)
… of high performance polymer foams via a benign foaming process. The first goal of this project was to develop a process and the conditions necessary to produce a low density (>80% density reduction) foam from poly(arylene ether sulfone) (PAES). Water and supercritical carbon dioxide …

Downregulation of Prdm16 Is Critical for HOXB4-mediated Benign HSC Expansion In Vivo
… mice. The molecular basis of HOXB4-mediated benign HSC expansion in vivo is not well understood. To gain further insight into the molecular events underlying HOXB4-mediated HSC expansion, we analyzed gene expression changes at multiple time points in Lin-Sca1+c-kit+ (LSK) cells from mice …

Characterization of Metabolic Differences in Benign, Slow Developing and Tumor Initiating Ovarian Cancers
… of aggressiveness. As cells progressed from a benign early stage (MOSE-E), through a transitional intermediate stage (MOSE-I), to an aggressive late stage (MOSE-L), the MOSE cells became more glycolytic and lipogenic, establishing the MOSE model as a valuable model for studying ovarian cancer …

Surgery for Benign Biliary Tract Disease : An Analysis of 310 Cases from Smaller Hospitals
… 38, 70, and 97. Fourteen (4.5%) of 310 cases of benign biliary tract disease died after surgery. Among 219 cases of elective cholecystectomy, four patients (l.8%) died. The mortality in 1196 cases reported from small hospitals by this, and three other authors, was 3.3%. This is slightly higher …

Benign, potentially malignant & malignant oral lesions; an analysis of oral and gut microbiota
… divided in to three groups based on histology; benign (B) (n=15), potentially malignant (PM) (n=8), and malignant (M) (n=7) oral lesions. Methods: Using shotgun metagenomic sequencing, we analysed the microbiota profiles to determine their potential as biomarkers for oral malignancy. We looked …

Alternative passivation for silicon (100), environmentally benign manufacturing, and cooperative strategy in semiconductor industry
… research can bring innovative environmentally benign manufacturing methods to the U.S. semiconductor industry. Our group has used methoxy to protect the bare silicon surface, because we have identified that the industrial standard, hydrogen passivation of silicon (H-Si) degrades rapidly when …

Strategies of Resistance in Post-Fordism: A Feminist Performance Perspective, Over-identification with Benign Evil
The central concern of this practice-based research project is how to create resistance from a feminist perspective by exploring and developing strategies in performance art. This resistance is aimed at the current economic and political conditions of post-Fordist production, in which an increased …

Does Mondia whitei play a role in the treatment of prostate cancer and benign prostatic hyperplasia?
Prostate cancer and benign prostatic hyperplasia are two of the most prevalent urological disorders affecting aging men worldwide. Conventional treatments including androgendeprivation therapy, 5α-reductase inhibitors, and surgery, are effective but often associated with adverse effects that …

Evaluating diagnostic and treatment modalities in the management of benign prostatic hyperplasia in the Veterans Administration population
Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), a common prostatic condition among aging males significantly affects quality of life. Though clinical practice guidelines for BPH management have been established, little research has been done to determine adherence to such guidelines. To assess adherence to …
