Ionic liquids (ILs) are salts with low melting point close to room temperature. They have interesting solvent properties and are able to dissolve some polar molecules. Polyvinyl formal-IL (1-Ethyl-3methylimidazoliumtosylate) nanocomposite electrolyte with layered filler was synthesized by solution cast technique. Changes in surface morphology have been observed using optical microscopy and scan...

A formal conceptualization of the original concept of system and related concepts—from the original systems approach movement—can facilitate the understanding of information systems (IS). This article develops a critique integrative of the main IS research paradigms and frameworks reported in the IS literature using a systems approach. The effort seeks to reduce or dissolve some current researc...

Remember to bring in your own drinking water sample to be tested for Fluoride. Ahead of the actual laboratory work, you need to sign-out from the stockroom a 500 mL plastic bottle in which to store your drinking water sample. Note valuable laboratory time can be saved if your group has read this experiment ahead of time. It is suggested that one of the partners start to dissolve the toothpaste ...

With the increase of digital technology in video production, several types of complex video special efsects editing have begun to appear in video clips. In this paper, a novel algorithm is proposed for fade-in, fade-out, dissolve and wipe video editing operations in MPEG-2 [ I ] compressed domain without fu l l frame decompression and motion reestimation. Results show that both objective and su...

The abnormal aggregation of tau protein into paired helical filaments (PHFs) is one of the hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease. Aggregation takes place in the cytoplasm and could therefore be cytotoxic for neurons. To find inhibitors of PHF aggregation we screened a library of 200,000 compounds. The hits found in the PHF inhibition assay were also tested for their ability to dissolve preformed PHF...

OBJECTIVES Multiple conservative therapies for the treatment of Peyronie's disease have been offered with variable and poor response rates. Calcium channel blockers have been shown in vitro and in vivo to inhibit secretion and synthesis of extracellular matrix, including collagen, glycosaminoglycans, and fibronectin, as well as causing increased collagenase and anti transforming growth factor-b...

The liquors were found to be adulterated with impure water from different sources. The measurement of pH, chloride concentration, total dissolved solid, total suspended solid and heavy metals reveals the adulteration in liquors. The duplicate brands contain rectified spirit, caramel, coloring agents, flavoring agents and essential oils which are not according to specifications. The adulterated ...

The role of insulation media in high voltage equipment is an important component maintaining the ongoing distribution electric power from random interference during operation. Insulation used are air, solid, oil, or gas. All these will experience a decrease performance along with operating time and service life factor equipment. Therefore, maintenance very important. One method diagnosis damage...

      Topical and transdermal drug delivery systems are noninvasive and can be self-administered with the minimization of side-effects, have received increased attention during the past few years. Nanoemulsions, emulsions sized between 20-200 nm with narrow distributions, offer several advantages for topical and transdermal delivery of pharmaceutical agents including controlled droplet size, th...
