During the initial period following immersion of parenchymatous cells of liver, kidney, or pancreas in various fluids immediately after their removal from the body water exchange is like that which occurs when water passes by osmosis through a semipermeable membrane; intake of water is proportional to the square root of the elapsed time and when liver tissue is immersed in solutions of sodium c...

In this article, the transient dynamic analysis of two dimensional coupled non-Fick diffusionelasticity is carried out in functionally graded materials (FGMs) under shock loading using meshless local Petrov–Galerkin (MLPG) method. By using a unit step function as the test functions on small subdomains of circular shape in the local weak-form, the local integral equations (LIEs) are obtained for...

Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide-co-acrylic acid) (PNIPAM-co-AA) ionomer chains can form stable nanoparticles in water at temperatures higher than their lower critical solution-temperature. A combination of the weight average molar mass (Mw) from the absolute average scattering intensity and the hydrodynamic radius distribution (f(Rh)) from the line width distribution G(Γ) was used to study the influ...

The structure and aggregation kinetics of diffusion-limited cluster-cluster three-dimensional monomeric aggregates and gels is investigated as a function of the molar fraction of two types of impurities. In one case the impurities are allowed to aggregate among themselves whereas in the other the impurities are mobile monomers that remain as such during the whole aggregation process. Computer s...

We have compared the minimum local analgesic concentrations (MLAC) of levobupivacaine relative to racemic bupivacaine in a prospective, randomized, double-blind, sequential allocation study. Women in labour were given a 20-ml bolus of epidural levobupivacaine or bupivacaine diluted to a concentration determined by up-down sequential allocation. The initial concentration was 0.07% w/v for both d...

Cantharidin, the well-known terpenoid compound from the blood of blister beetles (and active principle of Spanish fly), is a feeding deterrent to insects, effective at a concentration of 10(-5) molar.

The present work reported density, viscosity, speed of sound, electrical conductivity and refractive index data of L-alanine in the aqueous solutions of 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium ibuprofenate at T= 298.15 K. Using the measured data, partial molar volume of transfer ( ), partial molar isentropic compressibility of transfer ( ), viscosity B-coefficient of transfer (∆traB), ion association const...

Abstract This research aimed to present the improvement of cementitious material in high-volume fly ash using only one alkali activator. Fly was used as a partial replacement for Portland cement type I, varying from 0 60% by weight binder. Concentrations NaOH 0.00 1.25 molar were Paste properties and mortar compressive strength at ages 3, 7, 14, 28, 60, 90 days water curing investigated. The re...
