INTRODUCTION This study aimed to determine the effect of cumin powder on body composition and lipid profile in overweight and obese women. MATERIALS & METHODS In this randomized clinical trial, 88 overweight/obese women were randomly assigned into two groups. The experimental group was asked to have 3 g/d cumin powder with yogurt at two meals for 3 months. The same amount of yogurt minus cumi...

The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of inulin [as topinambur (Helianthus tuberosus L.) powder] on in vitro rumen fermentation of diets containing hay and pelleted concentrate for sheep (approximately 60:40%) in artificial rumen (the RUSITEC system). The RUSITEC system consisted of six fermentation vessels. Topinambur powder was added at levels of 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8 and 1....

Nano-bioapatite (BAP) powder was successfully acquired from chicken femur bones via chemical treatment followed by calcination. The isolation of nano-bioapatite powder from chicken bone has not been published so far. The bioapatite powder was chemically and structurally characterized by elemental analysis (AAS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and Fourier transf...

A waterborne ultraviolet (UV)-curing coating was prepared on the surface of wood materials with modification of talcum powder and calcium carbonate (CaCO3). When the waterborne UV-curing coatings on the surface of wood materials (WUVCW) was radiated for 1 min by UV (λ = 365 nm) and dried at 40 ◦C for 10 min, it showed good hardness, adhesion, and impact strength, with controlling the talcum con...

Surimi refers to concentrated myofibrial protein extracted from fish flesh by washing process. Surimi powder, is normally prepared in a dried form, and potentially useful as a raw material for preparation of seafood products. Surimi powder offers many advantages in industrial application, such as easy handling, low distribution cost, and physically convenient for addition to dry mixtures. In or...

Electron Beam Melting (EBM R ©) is a near-net-shape additive manufacturing technology developed by Arcam AB, where Ti-6Al-4V alloy powder is commonly used to manufacture medical implants and components for the aerospace industry. Although Arcam has developed special specifications of some parameters for the powders, the powders from different manufacturers do not behave in the same way in the E...

Glass is needed in several forms in today’s life. Its life is limited, and after use it is either stored into sharp edged or sent to landfills. As we know glass is non-biodegradable, landfills does not recommend any environment friendly solution. In India as a most developing country, facing shortage of post consumer’s disposal waste site and it’s become very serious problems. Hence, there is s...

In this study, we synthesized a powder consisting of core-shell-structured Ni/NiO nanocluster-decorated graphene (Ni/NiO-graphene) by a simple process for use as an anodic material for lithium-ion batteries. First, a crumpled graphene powder consisting of uniformly distributed Ni nanoclusters was prepared by one-pot spray pyrolysis. This powder was subsequently transformed into the Ni/NiO-graph...

This study explores the capabilities of methods for in-situ synthesis of titanium aluminides using the Direct Metal Deposition process. This allows for the functional grading of components which will be required for next generation aerospace components. The feasibility of three techniques are explored here; firstly, a new process of powder preparation for Additive Manufacturing, satelliting, in...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the air powder abrasive treatment as an implant surface cleaning method for peri-implantitis based on the existing literature. MATERIALS AND METHODS A PubMed search was conducted to find articles that reported on air powder abrasive treatment as an implant surface cleaning method for peri-implantitis. The studies evaluated cleaning efficiency and surface change as a resu...
