  USATODAY.com - Unsaturated fats lower gallstone risk in 14-year study   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Men who ate more of the unsaturated fats found in such foods lowered their risk of gallstones by nearly one-fifth, according to a 14-year study published in Tuesday's Annals of Internal Medicine.
Doctors in recent years have come to recognize the heart-healthy benefits of the so-called Mediterranean diet, which is rich in unsaturated fats from vegetable oils, nuts and fish such as salmon and tuna.
Those in the highest one-fifth of the group in unsaturated fat consumption had an 18% lower risk of gallstones than those in the lowest one-fifth.

  Process for producing halogen-containing unsaturated polyester - Patent 4569986
A process for producing a halogen-containing unsaturated polyester as claimed in claim 1, wherein the dicyclopentadiene-terminated unsaturated polyester is one obtained by the reaction among (a) dicyclopentadiene, (b) an.alpha.,.beta.-ethylenically unsaturated dicarboxylic acid or its anhydride and (c) a polyhydric alcohol, and, if desired, along with (d) tetrahydrophthalic acid or its anhydride.
The dicyclopentadiene-terminated, unsaturated polyester which is to be halogenated in the present invention is obtained by the reaction among (a) dicyclopentadiene, (b) an.alpha.,.beta.-ethylenically unsaturated dicarboxylic acid or its anhydride and (c) a polyhydric alcohol, along with (d) tetrahydrophthalic acid or its anhydride, if desired, in accordance with the conventionally known method.
Because the said.alpha.,.beta.-ethylenically unsaturated dicarboxylic acid acts as a point of crosslinking in the cure of unsaturated polyester resin and is closely related with a magnitude of deflection temperature, too small amount of the dicarboxylic acid to be used in some instances fails to achieve a satisfactory deflection temperature.

 Coconutoil.com - UNSATURATED VEGETABLE OILS: TOXIC
Unsaturation means that some hydrogen atoms have been removed, and this opens the structure of the molecule in a way that makes it susceptible to attack by free radicals.
When unsaturated oils are exposed to free radicals they can create chain reactions of free radicals that spread the damage in the cell, and contribute to the cell's aging.
Unsaturated oils get rancid when exposed to air; that is called oxidation, and it is the same process that occurs when oil paint "dries." Free radicals are produced in the process.

 Unsaturated Fat
Unsaturated fats are fats that have at least one double bond between two carbon atoms.
An unsaturated fat may have up to six double carbon bonds; fats with more than one are polyunsaturated.
Unsaturated fats tend to be highly reactive compared to saturated fats, and when exposed to air they are likely to become rancid, or oxidize and break down into volatile aldehydes, esters, alcohols, ketones, and hydrocarbons.

 What are Unsaturated Fats?
Unsaturated fats such as the olive oil or canola oil in your kitchen cabinet will eventually turn rancid as oxygen molecules from the air mix with the hydrogen and carbon atoms in the fat.
Unsaturated fats, on the other hand, would be like a carbon centipede who forgot to put on some hydrogen boots but put two feet in others.
Unsaturated fats, however, have larger molecules and tend to slide past each other in the bloodstream, which means little to no plaque build-up.

The study also suggests women with a high intake of trans unsaturated fat are at higher risk for developing this type of cancer.
Examining the diets of the 199 women diagnosed with non-Hodgkin?s lymphoma over the study period, researchers found women with a daily meal of beef, pork, or lamb were twice as likely to develop the disease than were women who eat such meats less than once a week.
Women who ate higher amounts of trans unsaturated fat, a type of fat found in such foods as margarine and baked goods like cakes and pies as well as beef, pork, and lamb, also were at increased risk for non-Hodgkin?s lymphoma.

Traditional unsaturated polyesters are polycondensation products based on saturated and unsaturated dicarboxylic acids such as maleic or fumaric acids and primary bivalent alcohols.
Typically, these systems are dissolved in styrene which reacts with and cross-links the unsaturated resin when a dryer system, that is, a cobalt salt and an organic peroxide, are used.
These unsaturated polyesters would have the same hardness and chemical resistance of traditional unsaturated polyesters and would give a high gloss without sanding and polishing.

 GroundwaterSoftware.com - March 2006 Newsletter: Unsaturated Zone
The primary difference between the unsaturated zone and the saturated zone is that while the saturated zone only contains water within the void spaces, the unsaturated zone contains both water and gases (with the exception of the capillary fringe, to be discussed in an upcoming newsletter).
A similarity between the saturated and unsaturated zones is that they can both be characterized in terms of hydraulic head; where hydraulic head is equal to the sum of the elevation head and the pressure head.
While Darcy's Law is still valid in the unsaturated zone, a key difference between the solution of unsaturated flow and saturated flow is that the hydraulic conductivity in unsaturated flow is not constant.

 Rule A-3. Unsaturated Compounds and Univalent Radicals (ACYCLIC HYDROCARBONS)
3.1 - Unsaturated unbranched acyclic hydrocarbons having one double bond are named by replacing the ending "-ane" of the name of the corresponding saturated hydrocarbon with the ending "-ene".
When, in cyclic compounds or their substitution products, the locants of a double bond differ by unity, only the lower locant is cited in the name; when they differ by more than unity, one locant is placed in parentheses after the other (see Rules A-31.3 and A-31.4).
If there are two or more chains competing for selection as the chain with the maximum number of unsaturated bonds, then the choice goes to (1) that one with the greatest number of carbon atoms; (2) the number of carbon atoms being equal, that one containing the maximum number of double bonds.

 Unsaturated Zone Definition Page
The unsaturated zone is the zone between the land surface and the regional water table.
The unsaturated zone differs from the saturated zone, in which pores contain water at greater than atmospheric pressure and are almost always completely filled with water.
The unsaturated zone is a major focus of many contaminated-site investigations because contaminants often have to pass through the unsaturated zone before they get to the ground-water resources or the surface environment.

 Prevent Disease.com - Some Unsaturated Fats Promote Inflammation
NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - A type of unsaturated fatty acid found in corn and safflower oil appears to activate genes that promote inflammation inside blood vessels, a risk factor for heart disease, new research suggests.
While unsaturated fatty acids in general are thought to be healthier than saturated fat, the findings support previous research showing that omega-6 fatty acid can injure cells lining the insides of blood vessels, leading to inflammation.
``Specific unsaturated dietary fatty acids can induce highly individual effects on endothelial cell activation and contribute differently to induction of the inflammatory genes in vascular endothelial cells,'' the study concludes.

 Unsaturated Fatty Acids
Formerly, unsaturated fatty acids (including essential fatty acids) were known as vitamin F. There are many types of fatty acids and virtually all fats and oils contain various combinations of the three basic categories: saturated, polyunsaturated, and monounsaturated (depending upon the chemical bonds of the carbon atoms).
Unsaturated fatty acids (UFAs) are usually found in the form of vegetable-source oils (such as liquid oils), while saturated fatty acids are usually found in solid animal fat (such as butter).
These are essentially the reverse of what the whole, natural vitamin F complex (unsaturated fatty acids and associated nutrients) accomplishes and assists.
