This study aimed to extract the paraffin component from paraffin-embedded oral cancer tissue spectra using three multivariate analysis (MVA) methods; Independent Component Analysis (ICA), Partial Least Squares (PLS) and Independent Component - Partial Least Square (IC-PLS). The estimated paraffin components were used for removing the contribution of paraffin from the tissue spectra. These three...

The use of paraffin slides and tissue microarrays (TMA) is indispensable for translational research. However, storage of paraffin slides over time has a substantial detrimental effect on the quality and reliability of immunohistochemistry stains. Particularly affected by this issue may be any collaborative efforts where paraffin slides or TMAs are shipped to central laboratories and then 'bioba...

Paraffin based nanofluids are widely used as thermal energy storage materials and hold many applications in the energy industry. In this work, equilibrium and nonequilibrium molecular dynamics simulations are employed to study the thermal properties of the mixed nanofluids of n-octadecane and Cu nanoparticles during phase transition. Four different nanofluids systems with different mass ratios ...

Recent reports have demonstrated that long-term and high dosage treatments with incretin-based medicine, such as hormone glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) may induce thyroid C-cell pathological changes in rodents, rather than in humans. Doubts regarding the tumorigenic potential of GLP-1 analogues in human thyroid C-cells remain. The present study aimed to determine the expression levels of GLP-1...

In this paper an experimental investigation on the thermal storage capacity for a typical composite mixture of paraffinGraphiteCu PCM composite has been studied. Paraffin wax was used as the base phase change material (PCM) and the paraffin has been mixed with Cu turnings in different ratios 10, 50, 70 and 90 weight percentages and considered as a composite. The thermal charge and discharge cap...

Anatomical analysis of the plant tissues is an important technique used in research for studying process growth, development, adaptation to environmental stress as well characterizing gene localization. In Vietnam, most anatomical material was manually conducted which time-consuming and labor-intensive. this report, we present innovative method that can deliver high-quality rice root sectioning...

The excellent properties of graphene phase change nanocomposite made it have potential application value in the field heat storage materials, which was expected to achieve integration transfer and storage. In order enhance thermal performance paraffin energy storage, structure models n-octadecane three kinds graphene/n-octadecane composites were established. Molecular dynamics method used study...
