This study investigated the engineering properties of a rubber–bentonite mixture under different salt solution concentrations, mass ratios, and consolidation pressures. In addition, effects solute ion concentrations on compression index samples were compared. The results showed that coefficient could be reduced effectively by increasing weight percentage rubber without being affected solution. ...

pachydermodactyly is a rare and benign disease that may be idiopathic, genetic, acquired as a response to repetitive trauma, or associated with several other acquired conditions often pushing the health caregiver to do a bunch of costly lab tests and diagnostic workups to rule out other entities. all health care givers must be aware about this disease for reassure the patients and cut unnecessa...

Resistance to chemotherapeutic agents in neoplastic cells is often mediated by expression of P-glycoprotein, which functions as a drug-efflux pump for a broad range of substrates. We have used a combination of patch clamp and video-imaging techniques to examine the expression and drug-efflux function of P-glycoprotein and to determine the possible correlation with swelling-activated chloride ch...

Antibiotics are added to semen extenders to take care of heavy microbial load, however, their continuous use poses a constant threat of developing antibiotic resistance by the common microbes present in the semen. Our hypothesis was that natural honey, having antibacterial activity and rich in fructose could replace the use of antibiotics and fructose in the semen extender. Twenty-four ejaculat...

Swelling in compacted soils may lead to some damages structures and buildings. For the sake of reducing such damages, soil swelling should be determined, so as make exhibit adequate resistance against a phenomenon. most cases, fully non-linear relations have been observed between parameters contributing soil. As such, determined via either experimentations or prediction models. However, being e...

The present study examined the effects of exercise utilising traditional resistance training (leg press) or 'cardio' exercise (recumbent cycle ergometry) modalities upon acute physiological responses. Nine healthy males underwent a within session randomised crossover design where they completed both the leg press and recumbent cycle ergometer conditions. Conditions were approximately matched fo...

This learning's objective is to determine and investigate how pharmaceutical restrictions affect the characteristics of gastric floating tablets using diclofenac sodium (DICL) as a model for solubility enhancement, sodium-bicarbonate (NaHCO3) or calcium-carbonate (CaCO3). Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose (HPMC) swelling polymer K100M K15M gas-forming substance. BY direct-compression manufacturing ...

By GEORGE M. GUEST, M.D. V ARIOUS investigators have postulated two main principles which seem to govern the swelling and hemolysis of red blood cells suspended in hypotonic salt solutions: namely, the cells imbibe water according to the laws of osmosis, and their maximum swelling is limited by an inelastic surface membrane. According to this concept, hemolysis occurs when the erythrocytes in h...
