PURPOSE The stability of docetaxel diluted to 0.3 or 0.9 mg/mL with 0.9% sodium chloride injection and stored in polyolefin or glass containers was studied. METHODS Vials of docetaxel injection concentrate were reconstituted with the entire contents of the solvent vial and carefully homogenized to avoid the formation of foam. Solutions were aseptically prepared with nominal docetaxel concentr...

Fog represents a large untapped source of potable water, especially in arid climates. Numerous plants and animals use textural and chemical features on their surfaces to harvest this precious resource. In this work, we investigate the influence of the surface wettability characteristics, length scale, and weave density on the fog-harvesting capability of woven meshes. We develop a combined hydr...

mgcl2/c2h5oh adducts with constant relative ratio of 1/3 were prepared and kept at 120oc for different lengths of times of 5, 10, 20, 30, 50, 90,120 and 220 h. then the samples were quenched and analyzed by xrd and bet. no meaningful changes were observed in the specific surface area of the samples, while xrd spectra showed 3 peaks at 2θ<15o for samples kept at 120oc for 5 h. these 3 peaks were...

The objective of this research was to evaluate the effect of kenaf fiber orientation and furnish formulation on the properties of laminated natural fiber–polymer composites (LNPC). The uniaxial fiber orientation provided property enhancement of the LNPC. The randomly oriented kenaf fibers, regardless of fiber contents in the laminates, provided an equal performance compared to the composites ma...

nanocomposites based on polyamide 6 (pa6) and poly(ethylene-co-1-butene)-graft-maleic anhydride (eb-g-mah) blends have been prepared via melt mixing. the effect of blend ratio and organoclay concentration onthe crystallization and melting behavior of specimens were studied. three types of commercial organo-modifiedclay (cloisite 30b, cloisite 15a and cloisite 20a) were employed to assess the im...

primary mgcl2.3.3etoh adduct (pct1) was prepared by melt quenching method and then submitted into a programmed thermal dealcoholation project using a fluidized bed reactor. during thermal dealcoholation program, different mgcl2.netoh support samples with n= 3.0, 2.7, 2.4, and 2.1 were selected and named as pct2 to pct5, respectively. structural analysis of the support samples showed a significa...
