objective roughness is the main parameter in interlocking bonding mechanism. yet there is no model designed to evaluate the effect of surface roughness on adhesion of coating materials in pharmaceutical sciences. materials and methods in this study polymethyl metacrylate spherical beads with different sizes were poured into 10 mm mold, then it was pressed by hand screw and finally heated to 141...

conclusions in this study, the abdominal binder was effective in pain medication consumption at some intervals. however, it had no healing effect on cs scars. background wound complications and pain are major causes of morbidity after cesarean section (cs). although medications are safe for use by mothers after cs, many females prefer non-pharmaceutical methods. an abdominal binder is a complem...

Human umbilical cord serum was found to contain both free folate and folate complexed to a high-molecular weight factor. The complexed folate was bound to a very high affinity binder and was present in concentrations equivalent to as much as 60 ng of 5-methyltetrahydrofolic acid per ml of serum. Acidification of the serum caused disassociation of the folate-binder complex. Released folates were...

PURPOSE Agglomeration in suspension is a size enlargement method that facilitates operation of solid processing and preserves the solubilization properties of fine particles. A small quantity of binder liquid is added into a suspension of microparticles, directly in the stirred vessel where the precipitation or crystallization took place. This study deals with the evaluation of the effect of ag...

This work demonstrates the variability in performance between SnO(2) thick film gas sensors prepared using two types of film deposition methods. SnO(2) powders were deposited on sensor platforms with and without the use of binders. Three commonly utilized binder recipes were investigated, and a new binder-less deposition procedure was developed and characterized. The binder recipes yielded sens...

Hounslow 1 Session 4: High Shear Processes 2 23 1) University of Sheffield, UK 2) AstraZeneca, UK Particulate processes are of great importance in industries like chemical, agricultural or pharmaceutical industries [1]. High-shear granulation is commonly part of the solid product...

Using panels of peptides well characterized for their ability to bind to HLA DR1, DRB1*1101, or DRB1*0401 molecules, algorithms were deduced to predict binding to these molecules. These algorithms consist of blocks of 8 amino acids containing an amino acid anchor (Tyr, Phe, Trp, Leu, Ile, or Val) at position i and different amino acid combinations at positions i+2 to i+7 depending on the class ...

Gel filtration fractions of human hepatic cytosol obtained from an autopsy liver were examined for elution of bile acid oxidoreductases. Several enzymes including 3 alpha-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (3 alpha-HSD), 3 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (3 beta-HSD), 3-ketosteroid reductase, and dihydrodiol dehydrogenase eluted mainly in the 30,000-40,000 Mr fractions known to contain the newly id...
