Although crustaceans are traditionally preserved in liquids (formaldehyde and/or ethyl alcohol), those substances tend to alter their morphological aspects. Glycerin, used human anatomy, is considered a good substitute for formaldehyde, as it preserves animals states similar vivo conditions. There no records the literature, however, concerning use of glycerin conserving invertebrates. The objec...

We have developed a workflow for computing the seismic-wave moduli dispersion and attenuation due to squirt flow in numerical model derived from micro X-ray computed tomography image of cracked (through thermal treatment) Carrara marble sample. To generate model, is processed, segmented, meshed. The finite-element method adopted solve linearized, quasistatic Navier-Stokes equations describing l...

The preservation and demonstration of anatomical specimens that retain much of their natural features has been a long-standing goal of anatomists, pathologists and other medical educators. Preservation of most biological tissues is performed using liquids such as formaldehyde, alcohol, and glycerin. Although these commonly used liquids are efficient, they have many disadvantages (Baptista et al...

The polyurethane membrane is used as a separator either by filtration or adsorption, and this process significantly affected its strength physical condition. We synthesized membranes using red seaweed with Gracilaria sp hydroxyl source. Box-Behnken Design of the Response Surface Methodology (RSM) Software Expert Version 10.0.3.0 three factors (TRL, TDI, Glycerin). F-value 0.42 suggests that les...

Thin layer chromatography (TLC) stained with hot acidic p-anisaldehyde, is an interesting, fast, and low-cost technique to monitor main lipid contaminants such as triacylglycerols, diacylglycerols, and monoacylglycerols in biodiesel. These acylglycerols are detectable by the proposed planar chromatographic method, provided the content of the contaminants exceeds the limits recommended by the in...

The effect of heat, hypo- and hypertonic salt solutions, glycerin, desiccation, and mechanical injury was studied on leukemic lymphoid cells of the mouse, and the leukemia-transmitting property of cell suspensions (hypothetical transmitting agent) in vitro. The results indicate that leukemia has not been transmitted by inoculation without the introduction of living cells. The interval between i...

Heat transfer coefficients and nucleation parameters were experimentally measured during saturated nucleate boiling of water–glycerin mixtures on a thin smooth titanium foil. Infrared thermometry was employed to study at atmospheric pressure in water mass fraction range from 100 % down 60 heat flux 0 200 kW m−2. found deteriorate with an increase concentration glycerin the mixture. The deterior...

Chemical warfare agents(CWA) such as nerve agents and vesicating show lethality by skin contamination. Skin protection, therefore, is one of the top priorities to deal with growing threat from CWA. In an attempt develop most effective topical protectant(TSP), candidate substances including PFPE(perfluorinated polyether), PTFE(polytetrafluoroethylene), glycerin, polysaccharides were evaluated in...

A new physical effect, consisting in the crossover of values and inversion dynamic contact angles' hysteresis branches, when a glycerin drop water slide up smooth inclined steel plane under action nanosecond spark discharges' periodic sequence, was experimentally recorded.

A multiple-scattering theory is applied to study the homogenization of clusters of elastic cylinders distributed in a isotropic lattice and embedded in a viscous fluid. Asymptotic relations are derived and employed to obtain analytical formulas for the effective parameters of homogenized clusters in which the underlying lattice has a low filling fraction. It is concluded that such clusters beha...
