This paper presents the results of a combined experimental and computational study mechanisms blister formation, their effects on degradation organic light emitting devices (OLEDs). Blister formation is attributed to thermally induced mismatch stresses associated with applied bias. These result in interfacial cracking phenomena that are affected by solvents used OLED fabrication. The OLEDs firs...

Thermal barrier coating (TBC) systems are known to be extremely sensitive the applied thermo-mechanical loading in terms of both microstructure evolution and subsequent damage, leading final failure by ceramic top-coat layer spallation. The analysis relationship between mechanical behavior is limited scatter experimental results. Based on a typical TBC system for columnar top-coat, this study f...

Blister beetles are an important object of study in the field agriculture and health. Despite being known to be for host animal, gut bacteria blister have not been investigated deeply. This aimed provide first initial description bacterial community Mylabris pustulata as one species beetles, based on a culture-independent technique. Adult same colony were sampled confirmed Thunberg. The content...

The presented study aimed at the evaluation of hydrochlorothiazide influence on cilazapril stability in model mixture and fixed dose tablet formulation. The degradation of cilazapril in the presence of hydrochlorothiazide took place according to autocatalytic reaction kinetic mechanism, described mathematically by Prout-Tompkins equation. Hydrochlorothiazide coexistence with cilazapril in model...

Angina bullosa hemorrhagica is a rare and benign disorder, usually localized in the subepithelial layer of the oral, pharyngeal and esophageal mucosa. The lesions are characterized by their sudden onset. They appear as a painless, tense, dark red and blood-filled blister in the mouth that rapidly expand and rupture spontaneously in 24-48 hours. The underlying etiopathology remains ill defined, ...

Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and the tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs), whose expression can be controlled by cytokines, play a role in extracellular matrix remodeling in physiological and pathological processes. Using a blister chamber wound model on UV-B-exposed human forearm skin, we examined whether stress or mood-associated neuroendocrine alteration is sufficient to modul...

OBJECTIVES To assess the efficacy and costs of a calendar blister packaging intervention used to improve medication adherence. METHOD A parallel randomized controlled trial was conducted with 73 hypertensive patients (intervention group = 35, control group = 38) at Hospital Kulim, Malaysia, for 7 months. RESULTS The intervention group demonstrated a significant improvement in medication pos...
