Amine copper quat (ACQ) and copper azole (CA) are the two most widely used wood preservatives most that replace CCA for non-industrial applications since 2004. Currently, treated wood consumers in the U.S. may find wood treated with ACQ (types B and D) and with copper azole. Two other chemicals, acid copper chromate and copper citrate, are also available for treating wood, but are much less often used.

The alternatives involve getting a joint ITD/CAEN account from the CAEN Office in the Media Union, which gives you access to the CAEN Sun Sparc 20s in NUBS and the Media Union Site, and the RS/6000 machines in the Media Union Site. It is also occassionally possible to get an account on a departmental unix machine, though not all departments have unix machines, and not all departments that do have unix machines offer accounts to all of their students, staff, and faculty.

CCA is a term used to describe the batteries ability to supply cranking amps to start the engine. CCA (Cold Cranking Amps) by definition is the amount of amps a battery can produce for a period of 30 seconds at a temperature of 0? F.

During inclement weather and on cold days, the chaperone will most likely be in the foyer inside the CCA. Go inside and if you don't see the NHHR sign, politely ask the CCA staff if the NHHR group has started to arrive. On warm days, the group may be standing outside the doors enjoying the weather.

Dentures are no longer the only way to restore a mouth that has little or no non-restorable teeth. Strategically placed support, or implants, can now be used to support permanently cemented bridges, eliminating the need for a denture. The cost tends to be greater, but the implants and bridges more closely resemble the "feel" of real teeth. Dental implants are becoming the alternative of choice to dentures, but not everyone is a candidate for implants. Call your dentist for advice.

animal alternative falls into one of three categories: replacement of an animal method; reduction in the number of animals used; or refinement of the experimental design and methods to reduce pain and distress to animals. It is important to understand that a procedure that uses animals can still be considered an alternative by the scientific community. Eye Irritancy Tests: In these tests, a liquid, flake, granule, or powdered substance is dropped into the eyes of animals, usually rabbits.

Exciting computer programs (where a student can not only take an animal apart, but also put them back together further enforcing the learning process), realistic or larger-than-life models, films, and diagrams are all effective ways to teach anatomy and physiology without harming animals. "Visifrog," a wonderful computer simulation of a frog dissection, teaches the structure and function of various organs. Students who object to dissection may call IDA at 415-388-9641 for advice or information.
