background and objective: the quality of flat breads depends in part on the textural and structural properties of breads during storage. these properties are largely affected by flour quality. this research aimed at evaluating textural and structural properties of lavash bread types during storage by different techniques, comparing these methods and determination of correlation between their re...

A new composite mesoporous honeycomb material was developed to be a thermal energy storage medium that can contact the functional fluid directly. In our previous study, this honeycombed composite material acted as a promising sorption thermal energy storage medium in an open system, exhibiting a lower regeneration temperature as 80°C, high volumetric heat storage density, and high stability. In...

Various preservation solutions have been evaluated for longer hypothermic cartilage storage for tissue transplantation; however, the results are mixed. This research was carried out to determine whether phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) or organ preservation solutions would preserve both the extracellular matrix and chondrocytes of articular cartilage better than culture medium during refrigerate...

18 Objectives: To monitor the stability of rifampicin (RIF) in Löwenstein-Jensen medium (L-J 19 medium) and 7H9 broth, which are the commonly used media for drug susceptibility testing (DST) 20 for Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Methods: Rifampicin degradation in stock solution, 7H9 broth, 21 L-J medium, and during the inspissation process for L-J medium preparation was serially 22 monitored by hi...

Fresh allograft valves stored in a nutrient medium at +4 degrees C have a limited storage time of eight weeks. Dura mater has been stored in glycerol for longer periods, and this paper presents work on the glycerol storage of allograft heart valves. The elastic properties of the valve cusps showed a fall during storage in glycerol that was associated with an altered histological appearance of t...

With the development of information technology, quick rate of data transfer and high capacity of data storage are expected for advanced recording media. Although data storage media and technique have been developed from soft discs, hard disk, CD-ROM and DVDROM to multi-layered blue-ray discs, undoubtedly, holography is one of the most fascinating and attractive techniques. As shown in Figure 1,...

This exploratory study examined the health record retention practices among health information management professionals in acute care general hospitals in the United States. A descriptive research design was used, and data were collected using a self-reporting survey. Respondents answered questions about the relationship between researcher-assigned storage media profiles (descriptions of the ty...

We propose a tamper-evident storage system based on probe storage with a patterned magnetic medium. This medium supports normal read/write operations by outof-plane magnetisation of individual magnetic dots. We report on measurements showing that in principle the medium also supports a separate class of write-once operation that destroys the out-of-plane magnetisation property of the dots irrev...

An ultrahigh-density electron-beam-based data storage medium is described that consists of a diode formed by growing an InSe/GaSe phase-change bilayer film epitaxially on silicon. Bits are recorded as amorphous regions in the InSe layer and are detected via the current induced in the diode by a scanned electron beam. This signal current is modulated by differences in the electrical properties o...

Owing to its longevity and enormous information density, DNA, the molecule encoding biological information, has emerged as a promising archival storage medium. However, due to technological constraints, data can only be written onto many short DNA molecules that are stored in an unordered way, and can only be read by sampling from this DNA pool. Moreover, imperfections in writing (synthesis), r...
