by increasing demands on paper products and shortage of fiber resources, various strategies were introduced to meet the requirements. in this context, application of mineral fibers is a novel and growing approach. this study was aimed to reduce the plant fibers by application of, mineral fiber in the papermaking system. application of 0, 10, 20, and 30% loadings of rock wool mineral fibers (rwm...

PURPOSE The study aimed to investigate a relationship between the mineral content of human trabecular bone and parameters determined from compression fatigue tests at stepwise-increasing amplitude. METHODS Mineral content of trabecular bone was estimated comparing density and bone mineral density values. The relationship between the ash density, bone mineral density and factors obtained from ...

Mineral oils (also known as base oils, mineral base oils or lubricant base oils) are chemical substances prepared from naturally occurring crude petroleum oil. Crude oil is distilled first at atmospheric pressure and then under high vacuum to yield vacuum distillates and residual fractions that can be further refined to mineral oils. Mineral oils refined from petroleum crude oils are complex an...

This study was performed to investigate the association between hair mineral levels and nutrient intakes, age, and BMI in female adults who visited a woman's clinic located in Seoul. Dietary intakes were assessed by food frequency questionnaire and mineral levels were measured in collected hairs, and the relationship between these was examined. The average daily nutrient intakes of subjects wer...

There are over 70 known mineral inten'elationships in which an additional dietary quantity of one mineral element wilt influence absowtion or utilization of another mineral element. As the animal ages, the readiness of availability of stored mineral dements in the bone decreases. Animals do adapt to reduced dietary intake of minerals as shown for Ca by reducing fecal excretion and increasing ab...

Progressive loss of bone mineral density around the femora! component of total hip replacement continues to pose a threat to long term prosthetic survival. A linear study was undertaken to measure bone mineral density on a monthly basis following total hip arthroplasty in 11 male patients. The opposite femur was used as the control measurement. Bone mineral density was unchanged at two mo...

to find the effects of spring foliar application of volck® mineral oil and its combination with fertilizer on the physiological, yield and quality characteristics of pistachio fruit, this research was done in the form of a randomized complete block design (rcbd) of 12 treatments and 3 replications on ohadi pistachio cultivar in chatrud of kerman in 2006 and 2007 for a duration of two years. the...

Mattan tailam, a siddha herbo-mineral oil was prepared and chemically analysed. The physico chemical parameters and thin layer chromatographic pattern were evolved to lay down the standards, The data presented can be used for fixing standards to mattan tailam.

Sphingomonas koreensis is an aerobic Gram-negative rod originally described in 2001 following isolation from natural mineral water in Korea. Here, we report a case study with Sphingomonas koreensis as the causative agent of meningitis. To our knowledge, this is the first documented case of Sphingomonas koreensis as a human pathogen.
