Problem statement: We have recently introduced several important improvements in the measurement of distillation curves for complex fluids. The modifications include a compositionexplicit data channel for each distillate fraction and temperature measurements that are true thermodynamic state points that can be modeled with an equation of state. The composition-explicit information is achieved w...

Previous research showed that exposure to ginger root, Zingiber officinale Roscoe, oil increased the mating success of mass-reared, sterile males of the Mediterranean fruit ßy, Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann). This work, however, involved the exposure of small groups of males (n 25) in small containers (volume 400 ml). Several sterile male release programs use plastic adult rearing containers (s...

Oil palm shell (OPS) is biomass with high carbon and hydrogen content, so it has the potential to produce renewable energy through thermochemical method. Pyrolysis a relatively inexpensive method that continuously converts into valuable gas, bio-oil, char products. Bio-oil used directly fuel boilers furnaces or oil. This article reviews pyrolysis process of from oil shells, discussing operating...

All-atom molecular dynamics simulations of an elastohydrodynamic lubrication oil film are performed to study the effect of pressure. Fluid molecules of n-hexane are confined between two solid plates under a constant normal force of 0.1–8.0 GPa. Traction simulations are performed by applying relative sliding motion to the solid plates. A transition in the traction behavior is observed around 0.5...

an evolutionary structural optimization (eso) method is used for plastic design of frames. based on safe theorems some criteria are derived and made an effort to satisfy them during the optimization process. in this regard, equilibrium is checked and yield condition is gradually satisfied during the optimization process. in this method, the amount of used material and the stiffness for each ele...

Plastic wastes, lube oils and coal-tar are evaluated, individually and combined, as additives to coal blends for the production of blast-furnace coke. The effects of adding 2 wt% of potential additives or their mixtures (50:50 w/w) on the coking capacity of coal, the pressure generated during the coking process and the coke quality parameters were evaluated. Using a combination of polyolefin wa...

in the recent years, considerable attention has been allocated in the area of using natural preservatives in foods, especially vegetable oils.  starch foams prepared from high amylose starch are useful for encapsulation of substances such as chemicals, liquids or solids, including flavor compounds, pharmaceuticals and essential oils. the foams have the ability to trap the active material and su...

The formulation of an oil-based mud was made possible with the oil extracted from rubber seeds using famous soxhlet extraction method. formulated API standard 25 g bentonite to 350 mL base fluid. choice Rubber comes as a result its flash point and aniline which lies in range oils used for formulation. rheological properties OBM were beyond scope viscometer hence thinner added reduce viscosity s...

Collecting blood for haematological and biochemical analysis is not as simple a task as it may seem to be. It must be carefully conducted, and the handling of blood after collection must be reduced to a minimum to avoid changes in its composition. Glass syringes used for this purpose are now largely replaced by disposable plastic syringes. Since the plunger provides a good seal it excels the gl...

Background and objectives: Garlic (Allium sativum L.) oil has been introduced in Iranian traditional medicine (ITM) as an effective topical agent for urine dribbling. Additionally, the beneficial effects of garlic on prostatic proliferation have been revealed in recent studies. The purpose of this research was formulation of a topical ointment using garlic oil proposed by ITM and quality contro...
