Suspended particulate matter in ambient air is today recognised as an important process and environmental issue. Besides adverse health effects, the performance of many machines and industrial processes are adversely affected by suspended particles. A number of devices, wet and dry, are in use for capture of particles. One such wet scrubbing device, gravitational scrubbers are simple in constru...

The aim of this paper is to extend results established by H. Onoand T. Kowalski regarding directly indecomposable commutative residuatedlattices to the non-commutative case. The main theorem states that a residuatedlattice A is directly indecomposable if and only if its Boolean center B(A)is {0, 1}. We also prove that any linearly ordered residuated lattice and anylocal residuated lattice are d...

Through confocal-like microparticle image velocimetry experiments, we reconstruct, for the first time, the three-dimensional flow field structure of the azimuthal fluid recirculation in a sessile drop induced by asymmetric surface acoustic wave radiation, which, in previous two-dimensional planar studies, has been shown to be a powerful mechanism for driving inertial microcentrifugation for mic...

Green fluorescent protein (GFP)-based timelapse live-imaging is a powerful technique for studying the genetic regulation of dynamic processes such as tissue morphogenesis, cell-cell adhesion, or cell death. Drosophila embryos expressing GFP are readily imaged using either stereoscopic or confocal microscopy. A goal of any live-imaging protocol is to minimize detrimental effects such as dehydrat...

BACKGROUND AND THE PURPOSE OF THE STUDY Ofloxacin is a quinolone synthetic antibiotic, which acts against resistant mutants of bacteria by inhibiting DNA gyrase. This antibacterial agent is widely used in the treatment of respiratory tract, urinary tract and tissue-based infections, which are caused by Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. In this work, an efficient modified ionic liquid co...

An efficient and environmentally friendly sample preparation method based on the application of hydrophobic 1-Hexylpyridinium hexafluorophosphate [Hpy][PF(6)] ionic liquid (IL) as a microextraction solvent was proposed to preconcentrate terazosin. The performance of the microextraction method was improved by introducing a common ion of pyridinium IL into the sample solution. Due to the presence...
