Dispersions of TiO2 particles are widely used as the main pigment in white inks for inkjet printers due to its brightness and high opacity. The TiO2 particles, however, have a high density, and so the possible fast settling of these particles can cause maintenance problems for the printers and lower the printing quality. We studied the effect of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), a commonly used dis...

Spontaneous spreading depolarizations (SDs) occur in the penumbra surrounding ischemic core. These SDs, often referred to as peri-infarct depolarizations, cause vasoconstriction and recruitment of the penumbra into the ischemic core in the critical first hours after focal ischemic stroke; however, the real-time spatiotemporal dynamics of SD-induced injury to synaptic circuitry in the penumbra r...

Cell aggregation is a stress response and serves as a survival strategy for Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain PAO1 during growth with the toxic detergent Na-dodecylsulfate (SDS). This process involves the psl operon and is linked to c-di-GMP signalling. The induction of cell aggregation in response to SDS was studied. Transposon and site-directed mutagenesis revealed that the cupA-operon and the co...

Dynamic modification of poly(dimethylsiloxane) channels using a mixture of n-dodecyl-beta-D-maltoside (DDM) and sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) is able to suppress analyte adsorption and control electroosmotic flow (EOF). In this mixed surfactant system, the nonionic surfactant DDM functions as a surface blocking reagent, whereas the anionic surfactant SDS introduces negative charges to the channe...

The hyper-eutrophic conditions in impoundments used for irrigation around South Africa’s major cities promote the co-existence of linear alkylbenzene sulfonate (LAS) and other pollutants such as metals. combined effects LAS metals, when water is to irrigate crops, has not been properly investigated light human health risks prevailing local conditions. To understand potential risks, pot-culture ...

In Electrochemical Mechanical Planarization process (ECMP), concentrated phosphoric acid is usually used as electrolyte. Role of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) in anodic dissolution of Cu in concentrated phosphoric acid was studied by Cyclic Voltammetry (CV), inhibition efficiency (IE) calculation and in-situ observation of the Cu electrode surface at anodic overpotentials. It was found that pres...

Stochastic diffusion search (SDS) is a multi-agent global optimisation technique based on the behaviour of ants, rooted in the partial evaluation of an objective function and direct communication between agents. Standard SDS, the fundamental algorithm at work in all SDS processes, is presented here. Parameter estimation is the task of suitably fitting a model to given data; some form of paramet...

Introduction Self Disorders (SDs) are regarded as the subjective phenotype of Schizophrenia vulnerability. The EASE (Examination Anomalous Self-Experiences) scale is most detailed and widely used instrument to investigate SDs, but it requires long administration times specific training. IPASE (Inventory Psychotic-like might be a self-administered widespread use for an easier SDs investigation. ...

Aim: In this study, we aimed to investigate the relationship between symptoms of depression and sleep duration with anthropometric measurements in obese children adolescents.Methods: Forty adolescents (25 girls) diagnosed obesity were included. Sociodemographic clinical data obtained using sociodemographic form. Age, gender, height weight values recorded; body mass index (BMI), percentile stand...

As the Aral Sea shrinks, lakebeds are gradually drying up, and newborn Aralkum Desert (AD) has become one of most active sands dust storms (SDS) sources in Arid Central Asia (ACA). However, temporal characterization SDS activity its possible driving factors have yet to be thoroughly investigated. Here, we studied variations activities during 2000–2020 based on Enhanced Dust Index (EDI), then in...
