mimosa pudica lin., known as chue mue, is a stout straggling prostrate shrubby plant, with spinous stipules and globose pinkish flower heads, and grows as weed in almost all parts of the country. it is traditionally used for its various properties and hence in the present study, chloroform extract of mimosa pudica leaves has been screened for its hypolipidemic activity. hypolipidemic activity i...

objective: this study aims to evaluate the antimicrobial activity, phytochemical studies and thin layer chromatography analysis of machine oil, hexane extract of seed oil and methanol extract of presscake& latex of jatropha curcas linn (family euphorbiaceae). materials and methods: j. curcas extracts were subjected to preliminary qualitative phytochemical screening to detect the major phytochem...

This study proposes a two-photomask process for fabricating amorphous indium-gallium-zinc oxide (a-IGZO) thin-film transistors (TFTs) that exhibit a self-aligned structure. The fabricated TFTs, which lack etching-stop (ES) layers, have undamaged a-IGZO active layers that facilitate superior performance. In addition, we demonstrate a bilayer passivation method that uses a polytetrafluoroethylene...

Results of flow visualization experiments are presented to clearly identify the trigger mechanism for critical heat flux (CHF) in flow boiling. It is shown that discrete bubbles which form following the onset of nucleation coalesce into a wavy vapor layer at fluxes well below CHF. Depressions in the layer interface were observed to touch the heater surface periodically, painting a thin liquid s...

Single layers of ZnxCd1-xSe with three different compositions (x = 0.39, 0.59, 0.8) and thickness of 400 nm have been prepared by thermal vacuum evaporation, through alloying of ultra thin ZnSe and CdSe films. The microstructure and surface morphology of ZnxCd1-xSe has been investigated by Atomic Force Microscopy. Chiral and achiral bi-stable smectic C liquid crystal textures were obtained usin...

– We present an evaporation experiment in a single fluid layer reproducing conditions of volatile fluids in nature. When latent heat associated to the evaporation is large enough, the heat flow through the free surface of the layer generates temperature gradients that can destabilize the conductive motionless state giving rise to convective cellular structures without any external heating. Conv...

Various concepts for oil evaporation prediction are summarized. Models can be divided into those models that use the basis of air-boundary-regulation or those that do not. Experiments were conducted to determine if oil and petroleum evaporation is regulated by the saturation of the air boundary layer. Experiments included the examination of the evaporation rate with and without wind, in which c...

It is known that the activity of terrestrial pulmonates is connected in some way to the extensive and often rapid fluctuations in water content which are characteristic of these animals (Howes & Wells, 1934; Wells, 1944). The work of Hughes & Kerkut (1956) and Kerkut & Taylor (1956) has further shown that the activity of the pedal ganglion of slugs changes with the osmotic pressure of the bathi...

The processes of silver diffusion into thin-film structures (As2S3)0,995Sn0,005 under the X-ray radiation were studied. Thin-film layers silver, about 12 nm thick, deposited by vacuum thermal evaporation on surface. thin layer irradiated with in range absorbed doses 0,3-0,6 Gy using tube a copper anode (voltage 45 kV, current 40 mA) as an source without any filters (the continuous spectrum X-ra...
