background: blunt abdominal trauma is one of the causes of mortality in emergency department. free fluid in the abdomen due to intra-abdominal blunt trauma can be determined by the surface probe of ultrasound. since the importance of this free fluid in hemodynamic stable patients with blunt trauma is associated with the unknown outcome for surgeons, this study was performed to evaluate the role...

Lubricants are indispensable pharmaceutical ingredients for preventing tableting failure due to powder adhesion the die wall. The impact of lubricants was evaluated with use Binding Identification Net Detriment (BIND) surface replication method. Raloxifene hydrochloride (RH) selected as a model chemical high adhesion, and four commercially available tablet – stearic acid, sodium stearyl fumarat...

We have designed a microfluidic device for the actuation of liquid droplets or continuous streams on a solid surface by means of integrated microheater arrays. The microheaters provide control of the surface temperature distribution with high spatial resolution. These temperature gradients locally alter the surface tension along droplets and thin films thus propelling the liquid toward the cold...
