Solid solutions of Ag-Cu were prepared via ball milling process, for about 5-30 h. The Cu-20at%Ag and Cu-3.64at%Ag composition were investigated by X-ray diffraction technique. It was realized that the solid solubility level could be increased by increasing the initial solute content in the mixture. In addition, shifts in peak positions of silver and copper were observed with milling time. The ...

BACKGROUND There have been attempts to develop universally applicable nomenclature for pancreatic fluid collections (PFCs) in acute pancreatitis. But PFCs following acute necrotizing pancreatitis (ANP) has not been studied by sensitive imaging techniques like endoscopic ultrasound (EUS). The aim of the study was to prospectively study morphological structure of pancreatic fluid collections occu...

In developing of ointment for topical treatment of colds the structural and mechanical properties of the ointment bases contained isopropyl palmitate, beeswax and solid fat in different concentrations have been studied. Amount of isopropyl palmitate 60% remained constant and the ratio of solid fat and bee wax was varied. In order to study thixotropic properties the curve of kinetics deformation...

The solid state properties and dissolution behavior of lamotrigine in its inclusion complex with βCyclodextrin were investigated.Preformulation study of lamotrigine was carried out. Dialysis study of lamotrigine with β-Cyclodextrin in pretreated dialysis bags showed that lamotrigine binds with βCyclodextrin in the ratio of 1:2. Solid dispersions were prepared by kneading and spray dried method....

This study applied response surface methodology and synthetic evaluation method to optimize the alkaloid content of buckwheat sprouts. Solid-liquid (1:10-1:30), ethanol concentration (60%-80%), extraction temperature (20°C-60°C) and extraction time (20-40 min) were considered as treatment factors in the optimization. All treatment variables shown significant effects on the alkaloid content of b...

The soybean seed chemical quality traits (including protein content, oil content, fatty acid composition, isoflavone content, and protein subunits), soymilk chemical character (soluble solid), and soymilk sensory attributes were evaluated among 70 genotypes to determine the correlation between seed chemical quality traits and soymilk sensory attributes. Six sensory parameters (i.e., soymilk aro...

strawberry (fragaria ananassa duch.) is a good source of natural antioxidants. fruits from eight strawberry (fragaria ananassa duch.) cultivars (‘kurdistan’, ‘merck’, ‘camarosa’, ‘paros’, ‘queen elisa’, ‘ventana’, ‘selva’ and ‘pajaro’) were harvested at ripen stage and analyzed for total phenolic content, total anthocyanin content, vitamin c, total soluble solid and total antioxidant activity. ...

Orpiment, getchellite and stibnite from Zarshuran deposit, NW Iran, exhibit extensive As-Sb substitution. There are four known minerals along As2S3-Sb2S3 join, i.e. orpiment (As2S3), Wakabayashilite [(As,Sb)20S30], getchellite (AsSbS3) and stibnite (Sb2S3). Extensive mineralogical studies by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and electron probe micro-analyzer (EPMA) indicate that getchellite fr...

this experiment was conducted in order to study the influence of different levels of municipal solid waste compost and nitrogen rate on grain quality of sweet corn (zea mays l. saccharata) and some soil properties under marvdasht conditions during growing season of 2008-2009. the experiment was arranged as split plots based on a randomized complete block design with two factors and three replic...

conclusion our preliminary results have shown that although there is some overlap between benign and malignant tumors, adding dwi, mr imaging to routine soft tissue tumor protocols may improve diagnostic accuracy. results there was only one patient with a malignant cystic tumor and was not included in the statistical analysis. the median adc values of benign and malignant tumors were 2.31 ± 1.2...
