CoNi alloy nanoparticles anchored on a spherical carbon monolith (CoNi-C) were prepared by a solvothermal route and subsequent heat treatment without any templates. Their permittivity and permeability behaviors were studied in the frequency range of 2-18 GHz. The CoNi-C composites showed the best microwave absorbing performances compared to those of Co-C and Ni-C. The maximum reflection loss of...

The Cosmetic Ingredient Review Expert Panel (Panel) reviewed the safety of 62 dimethicone crosspolymer ingredients as used in cosmetics. These ingredients function mostly as absorbents, bulking agents, film formers, hair-conditioning agents, emollient skin-conditioning agents, slip modifiers, surface modifiers, and nonaqueous viscosity-increasing agents. The Panel reviewed available animal and ...

Anaesthesia Breathing System (formerly known as anaesthesia Breathing Apparatus or Anaesthesia Breathing Circuit) is an interface between the anaesthetic machine and the patient. They evolved over 160 years from the open systems used by Morton to the present day closed systems using carbon dioxide absorbents. The main purpose of these systems is to deliver the required oxygen and anaesthetic ga...

ALL modern volatile anesthetics produce carbon monoxide in strongly exothermic reactions with anhydrous carbon dioxide absorbents. Although desflurane produces the most carbon monoxide, the reaction with sevoflurane produces the most heat. Using real anesthesia machines, sevoflurane, and desiccated Baralyme® (Allied Healthcare Products, Inc., St. Louis, MO), peak absorbent canister temperatures...

In this line of research, Caram de Assis (2002) traces a study on the values of transmission for diverse glass types. The glasses that presented the biggest superficial temperatures, as the term-absorbents, act as “radiators”, decreasing the air temperature in the interior of the prototypes. However, the colorless glass showed that temperature increases less with the sun incidence but the insid...

An unusually large expansion upon solvent adsorption occurs without apparent bond breaking in the network of a series of isoreticular chromium(III) or iron(III) diarboxylates labeled MIL-88A to D [dicarbox = fumarate (88A); terephthalate (1,4-BDC) (88B); 2,6-naphthalenedicarboxylate (2,6-NDC) (88C); and 4-4'-biphenyldicarboxylate (4-4'-BPDC) (88D)]. This reversible "breathing" motion was analyz...

Purification of antilymphocyte antibody (ALA) from patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) was achieved by immunoabsorption and elution. Human tonsil cells or thymocytes were used as absorbents. Complement dependent microcytotoxicity tests showed that, in comparison to the parent sera, the eluate from tonsil cells was eight times, and that from thymocytes four times, more active. Antin...

Using signaling theory, this study unpacked the mechanisms through which online review information quality and reviewer credibility influence helpfulness, in e-commerce context. Conducting a survey with users Danang having read reviews on Shopee.vn, 244 valid responses were used to evaluate research model via PLS-SEM software. The found that of strongly influences helpfulness compared previous ...

In article number 2101091, Joshua A. Jackman, Nam-Joon Cho, and co-workers develop an oil-absorbing sponge from natural pollen grains. The is readily functionalized with abundant fatty acids can repeatedly remove various oils contaminated water. demonstrates comparable performance to synthetic plastic absorbents along improved environmental footprint for sustainability.
