To use the "apparent diffusion coefficient" (Dapp) as a quantitative imaging parameter, well-suited test fluids are essential. In this study, the previously proposed aqueous solutions of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) were examined and temperature calibrations were obtained. For example, at a temperature of 20°C, Dapp ranged from 1.594 (95% CI: 1.593, 1.595) μm2/ms to 0.3326 (95% CI: 0. 3304, 0.334...

The effect of solvent power and flow rate on the permeability of a size exclusion chromatography (SEC) column packed with a novel polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP)-grafted porous silica resin was studied. The PVP-silica resin was prepared from a porous silica size exclusion resin onto which a terminally anchored PVP layer was graft polymerized. The terminally anchored PVP layer was synthesized via a f...

Inverted pyramid-texturing of silicon surface has been proven to have great application potential in solar cells. In this paper, we utilized Ag-assisted chemical etching (Ag–ACE) technology combing with polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) fabricate an inverted pyramid textured Si surface. We call it Ag@PVP–ACE. The effect different experimental parameters on results was observed. show that the microstru...

The aim of this study is to investigate the effect graphite (GR) content on morphology and wettability polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) / GR composite nanofibers. For purpose, PVP PVP/GR nanofiber mats various filler contents (0.6%, 1.2%, 1.8%, 2.4%, 3%, 3.6% 4.2 % (wt.% PVP)) were fabricated by electrospinning. diameters nanofibers characterized SEM. Average 218 nm for unfilled between 170 203 obser...

Intravenous infusion of 500 ml of 6% polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP, average molecular weight 40,000) in isotonic saline solution daily for 2 days induced prompt and significant reductions in serum cholesterol and triglyceride concentrations in eight hyperlipidemic patients. Mean maximal decrements in serum cholesterol and triglyceride were 29% and 28% below control values, respectively, occurring 5...

The potential capabilities and analytical performance of lab-on-valve (LOV) manifold as a front end to amperometry have been explored for the on-line determination of morin. Meanwhile, the electrochemical behaviors of morin were investigated based on polyvinylpyrrolidone- (PVP-) doped carbon paste electrode (CPE), which found that PVP can significantly improve its oxidation peak current. The ex...

A study was carried out to assess the effect of Stress Coat® on slime production in goldfish (Carassius auratus) and koi (Cyprinus carpio). The study also investigated histological changes that might be associated with slime producing cells, and wound healing in koi. Several formulations of Stress Coat® were investigated and the results showed that polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), also known as povi...

Protein amyloids are characterized by aggregates that usually consist of fibres containing misfolded proteins and having a cross β-sheet conformation. These aggregates can eventually lead to several degenerative diseases like Alzheimer's disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), Huntington's disease and Parkinson's disease. The present study describes the effect of chemically synthesized po...

In this research, CaO (calcium oxide) nanoparticles were synthesized by Co-Precipitation method in the absence and presence of Polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) via using calcium (II) nitrate. The Polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) was used as a capping agent to control the agglomeration of the nanoparticles. The synthesized samples were characterized via SEM, XRD and FTIR techniques. The average sizes of nan...
