The objective of this study was to investigate the significance of inner and outer phase pressure, as well as interfacial film strength on W/O/W multiple emulsion stability using microscopy and long-term stability tests. It was observed that immediately upon applying a coverslip to samples the multiple droplets deformed and there was coalescence of the inner aqueous droplets. Under certain cond...

CLINICALCHEMISTRY, Vol.32, No. 7, 1986 1411 using samples of a quality-control product (Monitrol, Dade). Lanolin, mineral oil, petrolatum, and the hand lotion withoutglycerin did not affect the results. Glycerin and all hand lotions containing glycerin falsely increased them by 60 to 3900 mgfL. We have been informed that KOdak plans to supply sample tips in a packaging that precludes their hand...

OBJECTIVES To address the relative importance of general job-related stressors, ambulance specific stressors and individual characteristics in relation to job satisfaction and health complaints (emotional exhaustion, psychological distress and musculoskeletal pain) among ambulance personnel. MATERIALS AND METHODS A nationwide prospective questionnaire survey of ambulance personnel in operatio...

This study was aimed to assess the impact of dietary energy density on liver health parameters, carcass characteristics and performance of broilers exposed to heat stress. 600 Cobb male chicks were assigned to five dietary treatments and four replicates. Chicks were fed diet based on corn as main energy source and energy level based on Cobb standard (C), corn based diet with 3% lesser energy th...

In n-any industrial processes the workman's skin is constantly exposed to mineral oils which are known to be potentially harmful. Adequate removal of these oils from the skin after work, though desirable, is not easily accomplished, and the use of abrasive and excessively alkaline cleansers for this purpose is a frequent cause of skin disease in industry. Various cleansing agents free from thes...

This paper reports experimental and numerical results of the deformation of a ferrofluid droplet on a superhydrophobic surface under the effect of a uniform magnetic field. A water-based ferrofluid droplet surrounded by immiscible mineral oil was stretched by a magnetic field parallel to the substrate surface. The results show that an increasing flux density increases the droplet width and decr...

Optical clearing agents can improve tissue optical transmittance by reducing the diffuse reflection. The reflection on in vivo human skin before and after applying anhydrous glycerol and 30 to 50% liquid paraffin glycerol mixed solution are investigated in this paper. From their visible and near-infrared reflection spectroscopy, all of their diffuse reflections are reduced after applying the ag...

We find that a liquid jet can bounce off a bath of the same liquid if the bath is moving horizontally with respect to the jet. Previous observations of jets rebounding off a bath (e.g., the Kaye effect) have been reported only for non-Newtonian fluids, while we observe bouncing jets in a variety of Newtonian fluids, including mineral oil poured by hand. A thin layer of air separates the bouncin...
