The objective of the present study is to develop and investigate the swelling behavior of pH-sensitive Superporous Hydrogel (SPH) and SPH composite (SPHC). A novel superporous hydrogel containing poly (methacrylic acid-co-acrylamide) was synthesized from methacrylic acid and acrylamide through the aqueous solution polymerization, using N,N-methylenebisacrylamide as a crosslinker and ammonium...

An important class of multi-scale flow scenarios deals with an interplay between kinetic and continuum phenomena. While hybrid solvers provide a natural way to cope these settings, two issues restrict their performance. Foremost, the inverse problem implied by estimating distributions has be addressed, boundary conditions for solver. The next issue comes from defining robust yet accurate switch...

We here explore a kinetically controlled synthetic protocol for preparing solvent-solvable Au102(SPh)44 nanoclusters which are isolated from polydispersed gold nanoclusters by solvent extraction and size exclusion chromatography (SEC). The as-obtained Au102(SPh)44 nanoclusters are determined by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization (MALDI) and electrospray ionization (ESI) mass spectromet...

This study investigated the effect of soy protein hydrolysates (SPH) prepared by varying subcritical media on the physicochemical properties of pork patties. For resource of SPH, two different soybean species (Glycine max Merr.) of Daewonkong (DWK) and Saedanbaek (SDB) were selected. SPH was prepared by subcritical processing at 190℃ and 25 MPa under three different of media (water, 20% ethanol...

Sphingosine (SPH) was studied as an inhibitor of skin tumor promotion in skin cancer initiated by 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]-anthracene (DMBA) and promoted by 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA). Two tumorigenesis studies were conducted using female Sencar mice treated with 10 nmol DMBA in 0.2 ml acetone at 8 weeks of age and promoted beginning 1 week later with 3.2 nmol TPA applied twice per ...

This paper describes a novel hybrid method for fluid simulation of saturating anisotropic porous material via fluid-structure coupling. Our framework employs particle finite element method (PFEM) that not only adopts Lagrangian scheme to model the motion of freely-moving particles, but also produces the extended Delaunay Tessellation to furnish the governing equations with FEM discretization. W...

ECE-pincer sulfato palladium complexes (pincer = [C(6)H(3)(CH(2)E)(2)-2,6](-); E = SPh (), SMe (), S(t)Bu (), NMe(2) ()) were synthesized and characterized. In the solid-state (X-ray determinations) and exist as neutral ECE-pincer palladium sulfato complexes with a mu(2)-O,O' bridging sulfato ligand. IR and Raman spectroscopic studies revealed that in the solid-state the complexes can be presen...
