Abstract: A coating composition comprising a rosin compound, a polymer containing organosilyl ester groups, and an antifoulant as essential components is disclosed. This rosin-based coating composition gives a coating film which forms no residue layer on the surface thereof over long-term immersion, is hence free from physical defects such as cracks and peeling and capable of maintaining a sufficiently high rate of film erosion and preventing the attachment of marine organisms over a long period of time has satisfactory suitability for recoating, and has the satisfactory ability to prevent marine-organism attachment over the out-fitting period.

Abstract: A method for treating or reducing excess stomach acidity by ingesting a predetermined dose of a flour or meal made from dried fava beans. The predetermined dose may be incorporated into edible food products such as a chewable wafer, cookie, biscuit, drink mix etc. The minimum recommended dose is at least 1000 mg. The treatment of the present invention may be taken in anticipation of excess stomach acidity or after its occurrence.

Abstract: Wood preservatives contain a copper compound, an alkanolamine, a triazole, an emulsifier and/or a phosphonium compound and are used for impregnating wood.

Abstract: The invention is directed to synergistic biocidal compositions that combine a copper salt and an organic biocide selected from the group of tribromophenol, its salts and chelates, and sodium-omadine, its salts and chelates. Wood treated with the preservative compositions have improved fungi resistance.

Abstract: Wood preservatives contain a copper salt, a polyamine and a fatty amine and are used for preserving wood from fungi and termites.

Abstract: Ferritin analogs comprising an apoferritin protein shell and a core substantially devoid of ferrihydrite, e.g. of inorganic composition such as aluminum hydroxide or organic composition such as acetaminophen. The protein shell can be removed from ferritin analog to produce spherules having a substantially monomodal nominal diameter between about 45 and 90 Angstroms.

Abstract: Wood preservatives contain a copper salt, a polyamine and a fatty amine and are used for preserving wood from fungi and termites.

Abstract: Water-soluble wood preservatives which contain mixtures of a metal compound, a metal-fixing acid and a complexing polymeric nitrogen compound, and methods for protecting wood with such mixtures.

Abstract: Wood preservatives which contain a mixture of an N-organyldiazeniumdioxy-metal salt and a complex-forming polymeric nitrogen compound are used for preserving wood.

Abstract: Wood preservatives based on a copper compound and an aliphatic carboxylic acid and additionally containing a polyamine, and a method for preserving wood with these preservatives.
