Fabrication of nanoscale biosensors based on nanowires (NWs), nanotubes (NTs), and other nanomaterials has recently attracted enormous attention. In comparison to nanoparticles, 1D NWs and NTs have higher sensitivity because of depletion or accumulation of charge carriers at the surface that is caused by binding of charged biological macromolecules at the surface, and affects the entire cross-s...

Heat transfer coefficient in nucleate pool boiling near critical heat flux at least one orderhigher than the convectional heat transfer modes. In this paper, an experimental setup isdesigned and fabricated to investigate the mechanism of heat transfer from boiling surface tobulk liquid near critical heat flux. The images of pool boiling near the high heat flux regionreveals that the individual ...

Mulberry branch, consisting of bark and stalk, was used as raw skeleton material without any chemical pre-treatment to synthesize an eco-friendly mulberry branch-g-poly(acrylic acid-co-acrylamide) (PMB/P(AA-co-AM)) superabsorbent composite. The synthesis conditions and properties of the PMB/P(AA-co-AM) superabsorbent composite were investigated. The results showed that under the optimal synthes...

The present paper explores the result of hygrothermic aging of polymethacrylimide (PMI) foam core sandwich composites immersed in different temperature deionized (DI) and sea waters. The prepared specimens were tested for moisture up-take behavior and the resulting property degradation in terms of flexural and flat wise compressive strength. The results indicate that the saturated hygroscopic t...

OBJECTIVE The objectives of these two studies were to determine if beads from extended-release topiramate capsules sprinkled onto soft food are bioequivalent to the intact capsule and if beads from the capsule can be passed through enteral gastrostomy (G-) and jejunostomy (J-) feeding tubes. METHODS Bioequivalence of 200-mg USL255 (Qudexy XR [topiramate] extended-release capsules) sprinkled o...

ntroduction: The use of a calcium solution previously to brushing could favor the remineralization and the fluoride (F) uptake in dental enamel. Objective: This study evaluated the F in dental enamel after using a F dentifrice, preceded or not by a rinse with a CaCl2 solution. Methods: Ten subjects (18-30 years) participated in a double-blind, cross-over protocol. Enamel biopsy and 3 min saliva...
