Maintaining the integrity of their protective plasma membrane is a primary requirement of cells. Accordingly, cellular events that breach the membrane are tightly regulated. Artificial vesicles used in drug delivery must also stay intact until they have reached the desired target. In both cases, the intrinsic resistance of the membrane to rupture must be overcome to allow the efflux of the vesi...

The aim of this work was to improve the understanding dry matter losses (DML) that occur in wood chips during initial phase storage outdoor piles. For purpose, a laboratory scale chamber developed and investigated regarding its ability recreate conditions undergo storage. Three trials with poplar Max-4 (Populus maximowiczii Henry × Populus nigra L.) were performed for 6–10 weeks under controlle...

To explore the influence of design parameters on aerodynamic stability planar membrane structures, a mathematical model for calculating critical wind speed flat panel structures was established, and closed expression obtained through criterion instability. The size, density, pretension other studied by monofactor analysis. results show that, with help new concept benefit loss coefficient, sensi...

Recently, a novel humidifier that sprays water fine droplets equipped with copolymer, poly(3,4-ethylene dioxythiophene)–poly(styrene sulfonate) (PEDOT/PSS) was developed. PEDOT/PSS in the absorbs from environment and releases by heating. In present study, effect of hydration on skin barrier, stratum corneum, first determined application using humidifier. The skin-penetration enhancement model h...

BACKGROUND The effectiveness of aerosol drug delivery during mechanical ventilation is influenced by the patient, ventilator, and nebulizer variables. The impact of nebulizer type, position on the ventilator circuit, and bias flow on aerosol drug delivery has not been established for different age populations. OBJECTIVE To determine the influence of nebulizer position and bias flow with a jet...

Following the recent press release regarding the toxicity of the biocides mixed in the water of humidifiers as a cause of fatal pulmonary syndrome among pregnant women and young children in Korea [1], the use of humidifiers has became a public concern. There are few reports, however, on the use of humidifiers with children suffering from atopic dermatitis. Those children use humidifiers more fr...
