Acetone is required for the production of cordite, a powerful propellant explosive needed to fire ammunition without generating tell-tale smoke.

* Acetone is often used for a final rinse of sensitive or urgently needed glassware as the solvent is miscible with water, and helps dilute and wash away remaining water from the glassware.

* AcMe, shorthand notation for Acetone.

Acetone is produced by spontaneous decarboxylation of acetoacetate ( meaning this ketone body will break down in five hours if it is not needed for energy and be removed as waste.

Acetone is responsible for the characteristic " Sweet & fruity " odor of the breath of persons in ketoacidosis.

* Acetone, which, unlike free fatty acids, can be used by the brain for energy.

* Montrose Gimps it up for Charity ( hidden track on the end of Acetone )

The method was described since as the ABE process, ( Acetone Butanol Ethanol fermentation process ), yielding 3 parts of acetone, 6 of butanol and 1 of ethanol, reducing the former difficulties to make cordite, an explosive, from acetone and paving the way also, for instance, to obtain vehicle fuels and synthetic rubber.

Acetone was used in the manufacture of cordite explosive propellants critical to the Allied war effort ( see Royal Navy Cordite Factory, Holton Heath ).

Apart from being a producer / co-producer with his own bands, Andersson produced Swedish rock band Dollhouse's second album The Royal Rendezevous in Acetone Studio, Stockholm in late 2005.

Acetone is generated through the decarboxylation of acetoacetate which may occur spontaneously or through the enzyme acetoacetate decarboxylase.

* Acetone peroxide: A very unstable white organic peroxide.

Acetone and benzophenone ( C < sub > 6 </ sub > H < sub > 5 </ sub > C ( O ) C < sub > 6 </ sub > H < sub > 5 </ sub >) are symmetrical ketones.

Acetone, commonly found in nail polish remover, is a widely available solvent capable of softening cured cyanoacrylate.

Acetone cannot be converted back to acetyl-CoA, so it is excreted in the urine, or ( as a consequence of its high vapor pressure ) exhaled.

Acetone has no easily liberated proton, and is thus non-acidic in human biochemical environments.

Acetone is considered a volatile organic compound by the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency.

* The track " Acetone " is featured in the video game Wipeout HD Fury.

Also at Acetone Studio he played on Neil Leyton's The Betrayal of the Self album along with Backyard Babies's guitarist Dregen.

Prior to Roland he started Acetone, an organ company that evolved into Hammond Organ Japan.

This can be seen by dividing the molecular weight of Acetone, 58. 1 by that of air, 28. 97, which equals 2.

Acetone peroxide, a powerful explosive, is an unwanted and dangerous byproduct of several chemical reactions, ranging from synthesis of MDMA ( where it is a by-product of isosafrole oxidation in acetone ) to industrial production of phenol ( where the second product of the cumene process, acetone, is partially oxidized to peroxide on the second reaction step ).

Typically, a bullet is propelled by the contained deflagration of an explosive compound ( originally black powder, later cordite, and now nitrocellulose ), although other means such as compressed air are used in air rifles, which are popular for vermin control, hunting small game, formal target shooting and casual shooting (" plinking ").

Cartridge design evolved from simple paper tubes containing black powder and shot, to sealed brass cases with integral primers for ignition, while black powder itself was replaced with cordite, and then other nitro-cellulose-based smokeless powder mixtures, propelling bullets to higher velocities than before.

Cordite was used initially in the. 303 British, Mark I and II, standard rifle cartridge between 1891 and 1915 ; however, shortages of cordite in World War I led to United States – developed smokeless powders being imported into the UK for use in rifle cartridges.

Small cordite rocket charges were also developed for ejector seats made by the Martin-Baker Company.

In Great Britain cordite was developed for military use at the Royal Arsenal, Woolwich, and at the Waltham Abbey Royal Gunpowder Mills from 1889 onwards.

In World War I a great cordite factory, HM Factory, Gretna, which straddled the Scotland-England border at Gretna was opened to manufacture cordite for the British Army and for British Commonwealth forces.

A separate factory, The Royal Navy Cordite Factory, Holton Heath, was opened to manufacture cordite for the Royal Navy.

A very large Royal Ordnance Factory, ROF Bishopton, was opened in Scotland to manufacture cordite for the British Army and the Royal Air Force.

The works at MoS Drungans ( Dumfries ) produced guncotton that was converted to cordite at MoS Dalbeattie ( triple-base cordite ) and at MoS Powfoot ( monobase granulated guncotton for small-arms ).

Canadian Explosives Limited was formed in 1910 to produce rifle cordite, at its Beloeil factory, for the Quebec Arsenal.

By November 1915 production had been expanded to produce 350, 000 lb ( 159, 000 kg ) of cordite per month for the Imperial Munitions Board.

Large quantities of cordite were manufactured in both World Wars for use by the military.

In 1910, Canadian Explosives Limited produced 3, 000 lb ( 1, 362 kg ) of rifle cordite per month at its Beloeil factory, for the Quebec Arsenal.

In honour of the military uses of cordite, the Royal Military College of Canada's mechanical engineering department built a ship and named it Cordite for use in thermodynamic research.

A modern Cartridge ( firearms ) | cartridge consists of the following: 1. the bullet, which serves as the projectile ; 2. the casing ( ammunition ) | case, which holds all parts together ; 3. the propellant, for example gunpowder or cordite ; 4. the rim, which provides the extractor on the firearm a place to grip the casing to remove it from the chamber once fired ; 5. the percussion cap | primer, which ignites the propellant.

On 21 June, the Liberal Government was defeated on a motion that criticised the Secretary of State for War, Henry Campbell-Bannerman, for shortages of cordite, and Salisbury was invited to form a government.

In 1916, a cordite factory was established in the nearby town of Nobel for the Imperial Munitions Board.

The village was notable for HM Factory, Gretna, codenamed Moorside, a huge cordite munitions factory built nearby on the shore of Solway Firth to supply ammunition to British forces during World War I.

Unquestionably Trujillo did some good things for his country: he improved public facilities such as roads and sanitation, attracted industry and investment and raised the standard of living notably.

Mr. Richard Preston, executive director of the New Hampshire State Planning and Development Commission, in his remarks to the Governors Conference on Industrial Development at Providence on October 8, 1960, warned against the fallacy of attempting to attract industry solely to reduce the tax rate or to underwrite municipal services such as schools when he said: `` If this is the fundamental reason for a community's interest or if this is the basic approach, success if any will be difficult to obtain ''.

But the solution to this dilemma is not the incorporation of the United States into an Atlantic Community or `` economic empire '', but merely what libertarians like Henry Hazlitt and Ludwig Von Mises have been arguing for years: an end to government regulations, an end to government competition in industry, and a realistic depreciation allowance for industry.

It is interesting to note that the present level of military electronics procurement is greater than the industry's total sales to all markets in 1950-1953, which were good years for our industry with television enjoying its initial period of rapid consumer acceptance.

The markets for electronic parts in 1960 have reflected the changing patterns of the various end equipment segments of the industry.

In sum, I look for another good year for the electronics industry in 1961, with total sales increasing about 7% to $10.8 billion, despite the uncertainties in the business outlook generally.

As America on wheels was responsible for an industry of motor courts, motels, and drive-in establishments where you can dine, see a movie, shop, or make a bank deposit, the ever-increasing number of boating enthusiasts have sparked industries designed especially to accommodate them.

We have noted how some electronic techniques, developed for the defense effort, have evenutally been used in commerce and industry.

When we consider the electronic industry potential for human betterment, the prospect is staggering.

Pre-decoration, low-cost molds, and the freedom to form large and small, thick and thin materials make plastics tailor-made for the industry.

Of interest is a recent announcement by Du Pont's Polychemicals Dept. of a new methyl methacrylate monomer designated as Monocite H 100, which was developed specifically for production of cast acrylic sheets for the sign and lighting industry.

`` It made our whole industry recognize the need for a new kind of teamwork between manufacturer, carrier, equipment maker, dealer, and builder, all working together to cut the cost of materials handling.

A prospective industry also may be interested in the long-run advantages of training programs in the area to supply future skilled workers and provide supplementary extension courses for its employees.

Few states make effective use of their existing vocational education programs or funds for the purpose of attracting new industry.

Even industrial development leaders find it hard to win local support for training unless a new industry is in sight and requests it.

For expository purposes, this is best treated as a model which spells out the conditions under which an important industry affected with the public interest would find it profitable to raise wages even in the absence of union pressures for higher wages.

In any given time period, the aggregate demand for the industry's product is determined by two things: the price charged by the industry, and the level of Aj.

Similarly, higher levels of GNP do not, in themselves, provide grounds for raising prices, but they do relax some of the pressure on the industry so that it can raise prices higher for a given wage increase.

We assume that average total unit cost in the relevant region of operation is constant with respect to quantity produced ( the average cost curve is horizontal, and therefore is identical with the marginal cost curve ), and is the same for every firm ( and therefore for the industry ).
