Abstract While Lee and Schwarz propose grounded procedures of separation as an explanation for physical cleansing in various domains (e.g., washing one's hands), we suggest that can also account behavioral aimed at consciences polishing reputations. We discuss this extension terms degrees cleansing, motivations, intentions behind social settings.

Due to the limited availability of wood, as highest quality raw material for production biomass pellets, increasing attention is being paid and use pellets from low-quality materials such different types agricultural waste. However, complex chemical composition these often leads various problems during their combustion. One biggest when it comes burning related low melting temperature resulting...

denim is a casual garment normally used by young people and extremely influential in shaping the fashion industry. among various garments, these garments are subjected to innovations. this work is an attempt to compare the different methods of stone washing using pumice stones, acid cellulases and neutral cellulases or in combination of these methods. the effects of different processing conditi...

BACKGROUND Patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) have highly idiosyncratic triggers. To fully understand which role this idiosyncrasy plays in the neurobiological mechanisms behind OCD, it is necessary to elucidate the impact of individualization regarding the applied investigation methods. This functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) study explores the neural correlates of con...

BACKGROUND The neural correlates of anxiety associated with obsessive-compulsive symptomlike provocation in normal volunteers are unknown. METHODS Ten healthy volunteers participated in four functional magnetic resonance experiments. Subjects were scanned while viewing alternating blocks of emotional (normally aversive, washing-relevant, checking-relevant, or hoarding-relevant pictures) and n...

We present the results of experimental investigation of ultrasonic washing of textiles. The results demonstrate that cavitation bubbles oscillating in acoustic fields are capable of removing soils from textiles. Since the washing performance is mitigated in a large washing bath when using an ultrasonic transducer, we propose a novel washing scheme by combining the ultrasonic vibration with a co...

In the course of work in the analysis of blood, the authors have employed a number of reagents for the removal of the proteins before proceeding to the determination of other constituents. Two of these, picric acid (1) and nitric acid (2)) appeared to offer peculiar advantages in the subsequent determination of chlorides and other inorganic constituents. However, it was found that the amount of...

This study evaluated the color fastness and crust quality of eco-printed leather using various types mordant in natural dye mangrove extract. used 20 sheepskin crusts bark experimental employed a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with different as treatments. The were Aluminum Sulfate (Al2(SO4)3), Calcium Carbonate (CaCO3), Citric Acid (C6H8O7), Ferrous (FeSO4). results showed that use (FeSO4)...
