polycrystalline mfi zeolite membranes were prepared on α-alumina tubular support by hydrothermal treatments at 413 k. the synthesized zeolite membranes were characterized by xrd, sem and single gas permeation. the influence of hydrothermal treatment steps and the calcination time on the zeolite layer formation were investigated. mfi zeolite membrane prepared by four subsequent hydrothermal trea...

the simultaneous flow of oil and water in porous media is described by relative permeability curves, mainly derived from laboratory experiments. relative permeability is of paramount importance in predicting reservoir production performance and drive mechanisms and its value depends largely on the volume fraction of fluids present in the test samples. nowadays x-ray scanners are one of the most...

purpose: to evaluate the visual outcomes of cross-cylinder ablation in laser in situ keratomileusis (lasik) for eyes with high astigmatic refractive errors and low spherical component. methods: we prospectively evaluated cross cylinder lasik in patients with high astigmatic refractive error but low spherical component over a period of 2 years. all procedures were performed with the nidek ec-500...

preparation and characterization of thermoresponsive in-situ forming poloxamer hydrogel for controlled release of nile red-loaded solid lipid nanoparticles. nanoparticles (nps) are cleared rapidly from systemic circulation and do not provide sustained action in most cases. to solve this problem, this investigation introduces an erodible in-situ forming gel system as potential vehicles for prolo...

The first organocatalytic synthesis of cis-decalins using sulfonyl Nazarov reagents is reported. The Jørgensen's catalyst directs this highly enantioselective synthesis using different cyclohexenal derivatives.

In the title compound, [Pt(CH(3))(2)(C(18)H(15)As)(2)], the Pt(II) atom adopts a distorted cis-PtAs(2)C(2) square-planar coordination geometry. In the crystal, mol-ecules inter-act via aromatic π-π stacking inter-actions [centroid-centroid separation = 3.6741 (18) Å].
