As host of the Massachusetts Special Olympics fishing venue for the August Tournament, Department of Conservation and Recreation personnel and volunteers matched up special-needs anglers from across ...the state with experienced Quabbin boat captains and mates who regularly fish the reservoir and "know where the big ones are." Mr. William E. Pula, fishing venue director, said he welcomed the opportunity each August to showcase the cold, deep and pristine water of Quabbin and its variety of fish species, as well as the return of memorable Special Olympians such as "Big Mike" Walker and Eddie Jones. 1) David Crandall of Southbridge gestures how big his fish was as he exits a Department of Conservation and Recreation boat after fishing in the Special Olympics fishing competition Sunday at the Quabbin Reservoir in Pelham.

There are very good records about the bitumen trade from Dalmatia from the second half of the 13th century in Dubrovnik; in the second half of the 14th century there was an at tempt to smuggle bitume ...from Ancona across the Croatian sea to Venice. In the first part of the 15th century there was trade in bitumen in Sibenik and Zadar. An earlier bitumen trade can be presumed. The main trading places in the middle ages were in Dalmatia: Dubrovnik, Zadar and Sibenik, while in the more recent period, after the Turkish occupation of a large part of Dalmatia, Obrovac, Novigrad, Skradin and some other places became frontier trading posts. Bitumen was imported into Dalmatia from occupied Lika and Bosnia. There was also some trade in man-made or imitation bitumen. PUBLICATION ABSTRACT
Pripravljen je Ca-Al slojeviti hidroksid (LDH) modifi ciran benzoatnim anionima (Ca4Al2(OH)12(C6H5COO)2 · x H2O, LDH-B) modifi ciranom metodom rehidratacije, tj. dodavanjem benzojeve kiseline i CaO u ...smjesu vode i acetona, kojom se trikalcijev aluminat (Ca3Al2O6) pretvara u konačni slojeviti hidroksid. Interkalacija benzoatnih aniona unutar LDH slojeva potvrđena je rendgenskom difrakcijom (XRD), spektroskopijom u infracrvenom području (FTIR) i termogravimetrijskom analizom (TGA). Interkalirani nanokompoziti na osnovi epoksidne smole i LDHB pripravljeni su in situ polimerizacijom, uz polioksipropilen diamin kao umreživalo. Uzorci s različitim udjelom LDH-B (5, 10 i 15 phr) ispitivani su XRD-om, FTIR-om, TGA-om, razlikovnom pretražnom kalorimetrijom i transmisijskom elektronskom mikroskopijom (TEM). Rendgenska difrakcija pokazala je nastajanje interkaliranih nanokompozita, a TEM analiza potvrdila raspršenje LDH-B unutar matrice i nastajanje interkalirane strukture, uz djelomično raslojavanje u nanokompozitu s 5 phr punila. Toplinska analiza pokazala je smanjenje početne temperature degradacije u usporedbi s nemodifi ciranim epoksidnim polimerom, dok se ostatak pri 1000 °C povećao, posebice kod djelomično raslojenog nanokompozita. Staklište se snizuje u usporedbi s nemodificiranim epoksidnim polimerom, što upućuje na slabije umreživanje epoksidne matrice.

"If somebody can prove to me that the positives outweigh the negatives if we have casinos in Massachusetts, I will be the first one to cast a vote in support it," Mr. Todd M. Smola said. "I haven't ...seen that evidence yet and, as a result of that, I am opposed to them." "It is going to be debated. It is going to be talked about," Mr. Smola said. "The question is in what form." Concerned that casino gambling could pop up in Palmer and Warren, Selectman Arnold P. Wilson said legislation should be in place that a casino must be supported by two-thirds of the "impacted community."
"I think we've been very straightforward about the fact that there are changes that need to be made to the foundation budget," said state Rep. Kimberly N. Ferguson, a Republican from Holden and ...member of the committee. "But we don't know where the money would be coming from." "I'd like to think we could work toward some of their (the commission's) goals," said fellow committee member Rep. Todd M. Smola, a Republican from Warren. "But we're in the early stages of the process. "At the end of the day, we've got financial limitations. You've got to work with what you've got, and that's a tough thing to do at times."
"Right now, you have to wear a seat belt, but cannot be stopped just for that," Mr. Reed V. Hillman said. He sought passage of a "primary seat belt law" because "Massachusetts has one of the lowest ...rates of seat belt use in the country." Mr. Hillman joined the state police in October 1974 after graduating from Suffolk University Law School that spring. He served as a state trooper and was promoted through the ranks of corporal, sergeant, staff sergeant, lieutenant, and captain. In 1996, Gov. William F. Weld tapped Mr. Hillman to lead the 2,600-person Massachusetts State Police, appointing him colonel-superintendent. Underscoring the emphasis on nonpartisanship was Mr. Hillman's habit to ask voters to cast a ballot for state Sen. Stephen M. Brewer, D-Barre, while he also campaigned door-to-door with Mr. Todd Smola, a Palmer Republican who was elected this week to succeed Mr. Hillman.
Prikazane su mogućnosti primjene netradicionalnih punila kao usporavala gorenja za kompozite na osnovi poliesterskih smola. Provedena su ispitivanja radi procjene svojstava usporavanja gorenja
...netradicionalnih punila, odnosno hidroksiapatita, cinkova borata i lebdećeg pepela u kombinaciji s tradicionalnim punilom antimonovim trioksidom u pretpolimernome kompozitnom sustavu. Poliesterska smola sintetizirana je reakcijom ftalnog anhidrida (PA), maleinskog anhidrida (MAN) i propilenglikola (PG). Ispitivanje svojstva gorivosti određivanjem graničnog indeksa kisika pokazuje da dodavanje netradicionalnih punila smanjuje gorivost uz znatno poboljšanje mehaničkih svojstava. Međutim, učinkovitost punila kao usporavala gorenja ovisi o nekoliko čimbenika, uključujući vrstu punila i razinu uključivanja punila. Uporaba antimonova trioksida i lebdećeg pepela povećava otpornost na gorenje, ali dovodi do sniženja mehaničkih svojstava i toplinske postojanosti. Rezultati pokazuju da se dobro poboljšanje otpornosti na gorenje uz znatno poboljšanje mehaničkih svojstava i toplinske postojanosti postiže s 30 % cinkova borata kao punila.
Cilj rada bio je pripraviti raspadajuće tablete dekstrometorfan hidrobromida (DXM) za oralnu primjenu (ODT) prihvatljivog okusa s namjerom da se pomogne pacijentima svih dobnih skupina. Gorki okus ...ljekovite tvari maskiran je vezanjem lijeka na ionsko-izmjenjivačku smolu. Proučavan je utjecaj veličine čestica smole na količinu ljekovite tvari koja se može na nju vezati, vrijeme raspadanja in vitro i in vivo, te oslobađanje lijeka in vitro. Količina vezanog lijeka značajno se povećava sa smanjenjem veličine čestica smole. DSC i XRPD studije pokazuju da prilikom vezanja kristalinični oblik lijeka prelazi u amorfni. Oslobađanje ljekovite tvari izračunato za optimizirane ODT i izravno komprimirane tablete vrlo je slično, što ukazuje na slobodno oslobađanje lijeka iz smole. Gorki okus DXM može se maskirati vezanjem ljekovite tvari na ionsko-izmjenjivačku smolu iz koje se mogu pripraviti raspadajuće tablete za oralnu primjenu.
