T Slow cooling and long stirring produce particles that are large and spherical, while fast cooling and short stirring produce small, jagged particles that tend to stick together. As a result, the larger particles slide by each other more easily than the smaller ones do, producing a semisolid with less resistance to flow. High-speed videos show that the semisolid advances smoothly and evenly, p...

The aim of this study is to investigate experimentally the microstructural evolution of the joints using ledeburitic AISI D2 Tool Steel parts. The application of a new process of the semisolid joining of two parts of AISI D2 cold-work tool steel is proposed using a partial remelting method. Samples were heated in an argon atmosphere up to 1300°C and held for 10 minutes. Metallographic analyses ...

Semisolid preparations for external application to skin have gained much demand, since it is easily absorbed through the skin layers. Many novel topical dosage forms have been discovered, among which organogels appears to play an important role. Organogels are thermodynamically stable, biocompatible, isotropic gel, which not only give localised effect, but also systemic effect through percutane...

We show that for any type III1 free Araki-Woods factor M = Γ(HR, Ut) ′′ associated with an orthogonal representation (Ut) of R on a separable real Hilbert space HR, the continuous core M = M⋊σ R is a semisolid II∞ factor, i.e. for any non-zero finite projection q ∈ M , the II1 factor qMq is semisolid. If the representation (Ut) is moreover assumed to be mixing, then we prove that the core M is ...

A semisolid selective-motility enrichment medium for the isolation of salmonellae from fecal specimens was developed which was based on Rappaport enrichment broth. During a 7-year period more than 30,000 stool samples were tested. The medium showed a high specificity (95.1%) and sensitivity (80.3%) when compared with MacConkey agar, SS agar, and brilliant green agar (after Selenite-F Enrichment...
