The cashew nutshell liquid(CNSL) or cashew shell oil is a natural resin found in the honeycomb structure of the cashew nutshell. It consists of about 90% anacardic acids and 10% cardol. Both substances are dermatogenic, similarly to the oils of the poison ivy, and present danger during manual cashew processing. It is a raw material of multiple uses in developing drugs, antioxidants, fungicides, etc. It is used in tropical folk medicine and for anti-termite treatment of timber. 2, record 3, English, - cashew%20nutshell%20liquid

Chez l'humain, les tests montrent qu'une prise d'une dose de 13 g d'huile de coque en 3 prises échelonnées sur 15 jours [...] produit un effet purgatif doux, sans symptômes d'intoxication. [...] L'huile du CNSL rétablit en outre l'équilibre oxydo-réducteur dans les tissu et le sang des lépreux et ramène à la normale le taux de glycémie. Les propriétés insecticides et germicides du CNSL sont utilisées dans la lutte contre les termites souterrains et les vers du bois. On obtient des produits actifs par simple distillation du CNSL à pression ordinaire.

These early plutonium reactors were crude affairs with the main objective being to get the weapons material as quickly as possible. Each "pile" was a honeycomb of carved graphite blocks. Hundreds of horizontal channels ran from the front(charge face) of the reactor to the rear discharge face. Some 35, 000 aluminium cans of uranium were pushed into these channels to assemble the critical mass for the chain reactions to burn away. 1, record 4, English, - plutonium%20pile

Weather protection fabrics are usually coated or laminated on just one side(either inside or outside) with a microporous coating or membrane. The coating blocks water from penetrating through its microscopic pores, but allows easy passage of sweat vapors. It's an effective system. But Entrant SC goes it one(layer) better. This garment's new Entrant SC is coated on the inside with a microporous material and also covered on the outside by a revolutionary new, ultra-thin coating that shed water better than any known system. By keeping the honeycomb pores or the inner coating from cogging with water, the breathability of the total fabric system is improved dramatically. 1, record 10, English, - Entrant%20SC

The porous friction course consists of an open-graded, bituminous surface course composed of mineral aggregate and bituminous material, mixed in a central mixing plant, and placed on a prepared surface.... This friction course is deliberately designed not only to improve the skid-resistance but to reduce aquaplaning incidence by providing a "honeycomb" material to ensure a quick drainage of water from the pavement surface direct to the underlying impervious asphalt. The porous friction course is able, because of its porosity and durability, to maintain over a long period a constant and relatively high wet friction value. 1, record 11, English, - porous%20friction%20course
