Effective Permittivity of Alcohol + Alcohol Mixtures as Influenced by Concentration

Exhaled nitric oxide concentration is influenced by alcohol containing disinfectants.

Nitric oxide (NO) is produced by many inflammatory cells [1]. Asthma is a disease in which inflammation plays an important role. Nitric oxide can easily be measured in the exhaled air of asthmatics and is used in research settings as a marker for inflammation [2]. Several studies, starting with ALVING et al. [3] in 1993, have shown increased amounts of NO in the exhaled air of asthmatic patient...

Effective permittivity of mixtures: numerical validation by the FDTD method

The present paper reports the results of an extensive numerical analysis of electromagnetic fields in random dielectric materials. The effective permittivity of a two-dimensional (2-D) dielectric mixture is calculated by FDTD simulations of such a sample in a TEM waveguide. Various theoretical bounds are tested in light of the numerical simulations. The results show how the effective permittivi...

Zeolite catalyzed alkylation of toluene by alcohol

Vapor-phase methylation of toluene using methanol and its isopropylation with 2-propanol has been investigated ina down flow reactor under atmospheric conditions using N2 carrier over a series of surface modified andunmodified ZSM-5 (Si/Al= 60-170) loaded with H3PO4, differing in the external surface treatment of the zeolites.The feed molar ratios of toluene/methanol and toluene/2-propanol were...

PHARMACOLOGY AND CELL METABOLISM Severe Hypertriglyceridemia Influenced by Alcohol (SHIBA)

Aims: This study was conducted to examine the relationship between triglyceride (TG) levels and a history of excessive drinking in patients with severe hypertriglyceridemia (HT). Methods: Alcohol intake as well as other risk factors associated with HT were searched for in case records of 300 patients known to the laboratory to have had a TG level over 11.3 mmol/l. Results: The majority of sever...
