The use of magnesium sulphate has recently increased in anesthesiology and pain medicine. The roles of magnesium sulphate are as an analgesic adjuvant, a vasodilator, a calcium channel blocker and reducing the anesthetic requirement. These effect are primarily based on the regulation of calcium influx into the cell and antagonism of the N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor. We discuss here the clinical effects of magnesium sulphate on anesthesiology and pain medicine.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to clinically and radiographically evaluate and compare treatment of intrabony defects with the use of decalcified freeze-dried bone allograft in combination with a calcium sulphate barrier to collagen membrane. Methods: Twelve patients having chronic periodontal disease aged 20 to 50 years and with a probing depth >6 mm were selected. Classification of patient defects into experimental and control groups was made randomly. In the test group, a calcium sulphate barrier membrane, and in control group, a collagen membrane, was used in conjunction with decalcified freeze-dried bone graft in both sides. Ancillary parameters as well as soft tissue parameters along with radiographs were taken at baseline and after 6 months of surgery. Parameters assessed were plaque index, modified gingival index, probing depth, relative attachment level, and location of the gingival margin. A Student's t-test was done for intragroup and a paired t-test for intergroup analysis. Results: Intragroup analysis revealed statistically significant improvement in all the ancillary parameters and soft tissue parameters with no statistically significant difference in intergroup analysis. Conclusions: The study concluded that a calcium sulphate barrier was comparable to collagen membrane in achieving clinical benefits and hence it can be used as an economical alternative to collagen membrane.

Lime stabilization has conventionally been listed amid the key techniques of chemical stabilization. Replacing lime with sustainable agro-based by-products have gained prominence in recent decades. Bagasse ash (BA) is one such potential alternatives, an industrial waste with abundance in production, and industries exploring sustainable solutions for its safe disposal. Supplementing BA with lime could be an ideal approach to reduce lime consumption. However, suitability of BA and lime for the stabilization of expansive clays, such as black cotton (BC) soil is yet to be explored. This paper therefore aims to investigate the suitability of BA-lime mixtures to stabilize BC soil with emphasis to compaction behaviors and unconfined compressive strength (UCS) using standard laboratory procedures. Suitability of BA-lime mixture is then assessed against addition of calcium sulphate which, from previous experience, is detrimental with lime stabilization. Experimental outcomes nominate 15% BA as the optimum value observed from both compaction and UCS data, while addition of 4% lime to 15% BA showed the best results. Mineralogical and microstructural analysis show the presence of cementitious compounds with addition of lime and calcium sulphate with curing periods. While, formation of Ettringite needles were noted with the addition of calcium sulphate in BA-lime mixtures (at optimum values) after 90-day curing, and UCS results showed a decrease at this point. To this end, addition of BA in lime stabilization showed encouraging results as assessed from the compaction and UCS results. Nonetheless usage of calcium salts, with utmost emphasis on calcium sulphate and equivalent should be avoided.

In this paper, a laboratory investigation was carried out to estimate the strength improvement of quicklime mixture for the effective use of surplus soils, and the shear strength with curing time was estimated at the content of lime. The effect of strength improvement has been established through the change of lime content with chlorides and sulfates from the samples taken at Samsan region, Ulsan. The test results indicated that the presence of calcium sulphate encouraged the efficiency of lime stabilization, and increased shear strength. Furthermore, it is necessary for inquiring into the relationship between the characteristics of strength and the chemical components.

점성토인 실트질점토(CL)와 사질토인 사질실트(SM)의 시료토에 Ca계의 소석회, Al계의 황산알미늄 첨가제로 안정처리한 결과 Ca계에 있어서는 실트질점토의 경우 알민산칼슘수화물과 탄산칼슘이 반응생성 되었으며 사질실트의 경우에는 탄산화알민산칼슘수화물과 탄산칼슘이 반응생성 (반도생성)되었고 Al계의 첨가 처리 경우에서는 실트질점토와 사질실트 모두에서 산화암미늄이 생성되어 있음을 X-선 회절분석에 의한 구조적 특성을 비교함으로써 확인되었고 이들 안정처리 효과로서 일축압축강도가 Ca계의 경우는 크게 증가하였으나 Al계의 경우에서는 거의 증가가 없었다.

도로의 기층재료로 사용된 생석회 혼합토는 흙 속의 황산염과 반응하여 ettringite, thaumasite 및 석고와 같은 팽창성 반응생성물을 생성하며, 도로 균열 등의 악영향을 미친다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 생석회와 염화칼슘, 생석회와 황산칼슘을 혼합하여 산성화된 우수와 공장지대의 오염된 폐수 속에 포함된 황산염에 대한 지반 공학적 영향을 조사하였다. 연구결과, 황산염은 생석회 혼합토의 강도 및 팽창특성을 변화시키는 것으로 나타났다. 강도특성은 강도증가가 큰 화학 첨가제를 첨가한 생석회 혼합토에 대하여, 간극수의 pH가 낮을수록 장기적으로 강도감소비가 큰 것으로 나타났으며, pH가 낮은 경우에서는 생석회 혼합토의 반응성이 감소하여 pH 변화가 뚜렷하게 나타나지 않았다. 팽창특성은 간극수의 pH가 낮을수록 팽창성이 증가하였으며, 황산칼슘을 첨가한 생석회 혼합토의 팽창성이 큰 것으로 나타났다. 팽창성의 증가와 장기강도의 감소는 황산염과 반응하여 생성된 침상의 황산염수화물의 생성에 기인한 것임을 X-선 회절분석 및 주사 전자 현미경 관찰을 통하여 확인할 수 있었다.

The effects of three mechanisms, calcium depletion, sulphate and carbonate penetration, on the concrete degradation have been studied. The shrinking core model (SCM) and the HYDROGEOC. HEM (HGC) model have been applied to evaluate how fast the mechanisms proceed. The SCM is an analytical approximation model and the HGC is a numerical mass transport model coupled with chemical reaction. The SCM leads to more conservative results than the HGC, and turns out to be very useful in the viewpoint of simplicity and conservatism. During 300 years, calcium has been depleted within 10 cm from the concrete outer surface, and sulphate has penetrated less than 13.5 cm into the concrete. Carbonate has not penetrated own 7 cm into the concrete in contact with the bentonite, and, furthermore, its penetration into the concrete with the groundwater is negligible. Conclusively, the concrete is expected to maintain its integrity for at least 300 years that are regarded as institutional control period of intermediate and low-level radioactive waste repository.

본 연구에서는 외부적인 원인에 의한 지반의 산성화가 생석회 혼합토의 압축특성에 미치는 영향을 조사하고, 생석회 처리효과를 증대시키기 위해 산화철, 염과칼슘, 황산칼슘 등의 제 2의 화학적 첨가제를 혼합하였다. 이 생석회 혼합토의 압축특성을 알아보기 위해 rapid inflection point method을 이용하여 신속한 압밀시험을 실시하였다. 공장폐수 또는, 산성비 등에 기인한 지반 산성화는 토양 속에 존재하는 황산염과 생석회의 칼슘이온이 반응하여 팽창성 광물인 ettringite 등을 생성시키므로 인공 산성비를 이용하여 pH를 변화시켜 생석회 혼합토에 혼합하였다. 실험결과, pH가 감소함에 따라 압축지수는 증가되고, 선행압밀하중과 압밀계수는 감소하는 경향을 보여 생석회 혼합토의 압축 특성에 악영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 화학적 첨가제 중 염화칼슘을 혼합한 생석회 혼합토의 경우, 압축지수를 감소시키고, 압밀계수와 투수계수는 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 산화철을 혼합한 생석회 혼합토의 경우, 생석회 혼합토에 비해 선행압밀하중이 크게 증가하는 것으로 나타나 압축특성을 개선시키는데 효과적인 것으로 나타났다.

An experiment was carried out to boost the production of tasar crops through application of secondary nutrients. Different combinations of secondary nutrients were prepared and its effect was studied on the yield and quality of leaves of tasar food plant Terminalia tomentosa W & A with 2.4 m ${\times}$ 2.4 m spacing and cocoon characters of tasar silkworm Antheraea mylitta Drury reared on them. Among different combinations of secondary nutrients, foliar application of magnesium sulphate (2%, w/v) and basal application of 3 quintal/ha of calcium carbonate (secondary nutrient combination SM5) was found to be the best in crop improvement. It improves the quantity and quality of leaves as well as the commercial characters of cocoons. As a result, silk production improves. Under this combination, leaf yield increased by 26.55% in comparison to control. Average increase in moisture, total mineral, crude protein and total carbohydrate was 3.26%, 20.84%, 15.39% and 17.85% respectively as compared with control. Further, bio assay studies revealed that average larval weight, E.R.R., cocoon weight, shell weight and silk ratio percent increased by 11.25%, 25.71%, 20.05%, 35.14% and 12.17% respectively over control which indicates that secondary nutrient combination $SM_5$ has significant role in improving the production of tasar crops.
