The European Atherosclerosis Society (1) and the Expert Panel of the US National Cholesterol Education Program (2) have issued detailed guide values for recognition and management of hyperlipidaemia in adults. In these guidelines, the diagnosis of dyslipidaemia based on the measurements of total cholesterol, triacylglycerols, HDL and LDL cholesterol plays an important role. A prerequisite for t...

in order to simultaneously improve wet and dry strengths of paper and decrease environmental issues related to the wet strength resins, in this study effect of application method of wet strength additives on paper properties was investigated. wet strength resins were applied in four methods including spraying an aqueous glyoxal solution on to the surface of wet paper, addition of aminated polya...

Progress in the processing of wet tissues, without the need of fixation and complex preparation procedures, may facilitate the microscopic examination of tissues and cells. Microscopic examination of tissues is a central tool in clinical diagnosis as well as in diverse areas of research. The authors present the application of Wet SEM, a technology for imaging fully hydrated samples at atmospher...

Most research on boundaries between vegetation types emphasizes the contrasts and similarities between conditions on either side of a boundary, but does not compare boundary to non-boundary vegetation. That is, most previous studies lack suitable controls, and may therefore overlook underlying aspects of landscape variability at a regional scale and underestimate the effects that the vegetation...

Pure barium zirconate nanopowders were successfully prepared in wet-chemistry synthesismethod, using barium stearate and tetra-n-butyl zirconate as Ba, Zr sources and stearic acid ascomplexing reagent. The gel was calcined at 800 and 900 °C in air. Results of thermal analysisare given, including both DTG and TG. Fourier transform infrared spectrometry (FTIR), X-raydiffraction (XRD), transmissio...

A long-term (2–3 years) measurement of aerosol and precipitation chemistry was carried out in a remote site in Central Amazonia, Balbina, (1 • 55 ′ S, 59 • 29 ′ W, 174 m above sea level), about 200 km north of Manaus city. Aerosols were sampled using stacked filter units (SFU), which separate fine (d<2.5 µm) and coarse mode 5 (2.5 µm<d<10.0 µm). Filters were analyzed for particulate mass (PM), ...

Mechanochemical synthesis has been used to obtain two Werner complexes and their solid solution that could not be obtained by conventional "wet" chemistry; remarkably, despite the structural and chemical similarity, the solid solution exhibits sorption properties that differ from those of the pure compounds.
