Talk:Nitrobenzene

message: Uses?
I thought nitrobenzene was used in racing and rocket fuel?
Production?
Why does it form a nitrous group (NO2 )rather than a nitro/nitrate group (ONO2 or NO3) on nitration?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.176.118.196 (talk) 13:20, 10 April 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: You are probably correct, nitrobenzene probably is used in racing fuel.  That application is probably ultra small consuming a mere few thousand tons.  We dont list such tiny apps, otherwise these articles would be long lists!  Your second question is also excellent and used to bother me too.  In organic chemistry, nitrates (containing NO3 group) are very rare but nitro compounds (NO2) are common.  Also confusing, to me at least, nitration, which uses nitric acid, usually gives nitro compounds, not nitrates.--Smokefoot (talk) 13:31, 10 April 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: It may have been used in racing fuel, however the two nitro compounds are frequently used are nitroethane and nitromethane. Nitromethane is still used in drag, go kart and RC model fuel. Whereas nitroethane started to disappear as a fuel additive as it began being heavily used by amphetamine labs to produce precursors to the hundreds of derivatives.   — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.156.90.134 (talk) 08:32, 9 December 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Question

message: Not that I want to start a "Nitrobenzene in Popular Culture" or "Nitrobenzene in Fiction" heading, or anything horrible like that, but in the Nero Wolfe novel "The Red Box" by Rex Stout, a man is murdered by the device of suspending a small sauce dish containing "a couple of ounces" of nitrobenzene to the inside of the roof of his car with tape.  When he gets into his car, he jostles the dish and the nitrobenzene spills on his head and down his back.  He dies within a minute.  Other people who try to help him are also exposed to the poison and one has to be hospitalized.  I've made a link in the article, changing the unlinked "TLV" to "Threshold Limit Value" but for a substance this toxic, perhaps it would also be good to include what constitutes a toxic dose, whether by swallowing, exposure to the skin or whatever.  24.27.31.170 (talk) 00:31, 11 September 2011 (UTC)

message: so if an old name of nitrobenzene is oil or essence of mirbane WTH is a mirbane? OED says:
1857 W. A. MILLER Elem. Chem.: Org. (1862) ix. 656 It [sc. Nitrobenzol]
has a very sweet taste, and an odour resembling that of bitter almonds, which has
led to its use in perfumery under the name of Essence of Mirbane.
The only other thing I could find via goodgle was that mirbane is an albanian female name.

kind(s) of "trace" briefly mentioned in the following articles?:

I came to this disambiguation page in order to find an article that goes into more detail on this kind(s) of "trace".

replies: text: My apologies. I did know that, but I always assumed that simply meant "Close your eyes", a command given at the start of meditation. It seems it does actually mean meditation. Bihal 01:14, 3 November 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually, it really means "close eyes". And one does not practice "close eyes". It practices meditation which starts with closing the eyes. Also, at the end, commanding "mokuso yame" is wrong. In Japanese that means "stop/cease closing your eyes". An appropriate command is "kai moku" - i.e. "open eyes". HTH.
Mokuso (黙想) does NOT mean "close your eyes".  It is composed of two characters (黙) and (想).  The first is (黙), which means to be still or quiet.  The second is (想), which means to contemplate.  So, it means “to be quiet and contemplate”. ron Southwick 17:29, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  More on Empire period needed 

message: I found my way to this article when I  wanted to know exactly what "colonel of the regiment" meant. My interest is in the Napoleonic period and I knew that it was an appointment outside the rank progression and that it could be profitable. On reading a little, I concluded this article wasn't helpful and began looking outside Wikipedia. The best source was about the modern Indian army. Nevertheless, on reading more carefully I discovered this article did in fact have some information about the role of COR.
I propose to create a new article "Colonel of the Regiment" about the appointment over the last three or more centuries. It would include:
:The sinecure period and the modern ceremonial role in the British Army, the Indian Army, and probably other Commonwealth armies. It might include particularly notable historical appointments and discussion of changes in the role over the time it has existed.
I suspect there is enough material for a separate article. I can add it to my TO DO list but it is a very long list and I don't have any direct military background. So I would be happy to hand this off to someone else. Here is the best source I found. However, it only covers the modern Indian army.

Talk:Sensitization

message: 'Sensitization' is merely the American way to spell it, while 'sensitisation' is the Queen's English, as it were. This is a very common issue that comes up in almost all similar (-ization/-isation) words and many, many others. They're both correct, and if a distinction is to be made, it should take into account the birthplace and/or education of the author being cited (when citing) or your own birthplace and/or education if merely using the word. Or maybe just use the appropriate spelling for the intended audience. Who cares? It's not a big deal; they're both correct.

thread_title:  About the spelling 

message: It seems odd to me that a man rubbing his arm continuously, building up a warm sensation and then pain, is the primary example of sensitization here. Granted, I'm not an expert in the field, but it seems more logical to me that the warm feeling and subsequent pain would be a result of friction and the rubbing away of the skin due to the constant scraping rather than a simple "overload" of the nerves due to continual stimulus. In fact, it would seem to me that habituation would occur rather than sensitization if indeed a man were to continuously rub his arm; he (or rather, his nerves) would "forget" that he was rubbing his arm, much in the same way we "forget" we're wearing clothing (the example given in the habituation article). So, this example feels incongruent with the concept of sensitization--I'd like to hear an example that truly relies strictly on response to a single stimulus (rubbing), not on a response to a changing stimulus (rubbing, warmth, and eventual injury). But I don't feel knowledgable enough on the topic to make the change myself. Any takers?
