Published data assessing the efficacy and toxicity of omega-3 fatty acid emulsion in children are limited. Until recently, children requiring long-term parenteral nutrition who experienced parenteral nutrition–associated liver disease (PNALD) were likely to die from infection or liver disease before receiving a small bowel and/or liver transplant. With the introduction of parenteral fish oil (1...

Cobalt ferrite is an important magnetic material due to their large magneto-crystalline anisotropy, high cohercivity, moderate saturation magnetization and chemical stability.In this study, cobalt ferrites Nanoparticles have been synthesized by the co-precipitation method and a new microemulsion route. We examined the cation occupancy in the spinel structure based on the “Rietveld with energies...

Cellular and humoral responses in animals are frequently induced by subcutaneous injection with antigen emulsified in an agent such as complete Freund’s adjuvant (CFA). These emulsions are commonly prepared by repetitive mixing of aqueous and oil components in two coupled syringes (1). Although effective, this procedure is slow and tedious. Sonification has proven to be a more rapid alternative...

A facile method to prepare hybrid cellulose acetate nanofibers containing TiO2 (TiO2-CA nanofibers) by emulsion electrospinning technique was developed for the denitrification and filtration of particulate matters (PMs). This work found that TiO2-CA mainly contain anatase form TiO2, contributing photodecomposition NO gas under UV irradiation. The also showed an excellent efficiency 99.5% PM0.5 ...

Biocompatible oil-in-water (o/w) micro-emulsions can be prospective drug delivery vehicles for their capability to solubilize lipophilic (oil soluble) drugs in the dispersed oil. Plant oils are considered suitable for such a purpose. In this study, we have attempted to examine the dispersion of corn, cottonseed, clove, orange and peppermint oils, as well as isopropyl myristate (IPM) in water co...

Corn syrup films are used to replicate holograms in order to fabricate micro-structural patterns without the toxins commonly found in photosensitive salts and dyes. We use amplitude and relief masks with lithographic techniques and rubbing techniques in order to transfer holographic information to corn syrup material. Holographic diffraction patterns from holographic gratings and computer Fouri...

Many techniques have been developed to produce nanoparticles. Among them, electrospray has attracted recent research interest because it is an elegant and versatile way to make a broad array of nanoparticles. Electrospray is a technique that uses an electric field to disperse or break up a liquid. Compared with current technologies, such as bulk mixing, high pressure homogenization and double e...
