for STDs and HIV.4 Though programs vary somewhat in their specific goals, most share the same premise: Expanded condom availability will increase the proportion of protected sexual encounters, particularly when it is accompanied by education and information about safer sex. Opponents have responded that distributing condoms in a school will legitimate and thus increase the prevalence of sexual ...

Any audio recording can be turned into a digital musical instrument by feeding it into an audio sampler. However, it is difficult to edit such a sound in musical terms or even to control it in real time with musical expression. This does not change much if a more sophisticated resynthesis method is applied. Many electronic musicians appreciate the direct and clear access to sound parameters a t...

The present study was planned to test the efficacy of Moringa oleifera on undesirable skin sebum secreted by sebaceous glands during winter season in humans. For this purpose, an extract of Moringa leaves was prepared due to strong antioxidant activity. 3% Moringa leaves extract was incorporated in active cream and the base was without extract. The study was conducted during the winter season (...

MIDI commands provide an abstract representation of audio in terms of note-on and note-off times, velocity, and controller data. The relationship of these commands to the actual audio signal is dependent on the actual synthesizer patch in use. Thus, it is hard to implement effects such as compression of the dynamic range or time correction based on MIDI commands alone. To improve on this, we ha...

In recent years, the interest in melt granulation has increased due to the advantages of this technique respect to traditional wet granulation; utilizable equipments for melt granulation are high-shear mixer and fluidised bed [1]. The aim of the study was to evaluate, by asymmetrical factorial design [2], the contribution of some variables on the in situ melt granulation process performed in fl...

A bubble surfactometer was used to measure the surface tension of an aqueous suspension of surfactant TA as a function of bubble area over a range of cycling rates and surfactant bulk concentrations. Results of the surface tension-interfacial area loops exhibited a rich variety of phenomena, the character of which varied systematically with frequency and bulk concentration. A model was develope...
