How effective are cosmetics at altering attractiveness? Previous research has hinted that the effect is not large, especially when compared to the variation in attractiveness observed between individuals ...

Alkyl derivatives of MEA are used in the production of surfactants, dyes, in the manufacture of drugs as a buffer substance and for the stabilization of emulsions, in the manufacture of herbicides, cosmetics, antihistamines, are also of practical interest [1]. It is widely known also as useful “acid” gases (H2S, CO2, SO2, etc.) as absorbents in the process of cleaning process for gases in oil r...

Novel colloidosome microcapsules with aqueous gel cores and integral shells of rodlike polymeric particles have been prepared and characterized. The synthesis is based on templating water-in-oil emulsions stabilized by rodlike particles followed by gelling of the aqueous phase, dissolution of the oil phase in ethanol, and redispersion of the obtained colloidosome capsules in water. Such capsule...
