In this article six new copoly(amide-imide)s (11a-c) were synthesized through the directpolycondensation reaction of 1,3-bis[4,4'-(trimellitimido) phenoxy] propane (6) with 3,3'-diamino diphenyl sulfone (7), 4,4'-diaminodiphenyl ether (8) and 1,5-naphtalene (9) in thepresence of fumaric acid (10) as a second diacid in a medium consisting of N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone, triphenyl phosphite, calcium c...

ferula galbaniflua boiss is one of the natural plants of iran that its exudates, barijeh gum, can be used in food industry. the present study explored the properties of a new gum extracted from tubers of ferula galbaniflua. for this purpose, barijeh gum was extracted from crude exudates by alcoholic extraction with 90% ethanol. the purity of gum was relatively high, and it composed mostly of sa...

We assessed, by means of the [14C]-2-deoxy-D-glucose autoradiography method, the effect of intracarotid injection of a nonionic, low-osmolar contrast medium (iopamidol) on local cerebral glucose utilization in the rat brain. Contrast medium was injected at 20 degrees C and at 37 degrees C, and the relative changes in local cerebral glucose utilization were measured. At 20 degrees C the viscosit...

The aim of this research was to investigate the validity of the Krieger–Dougherty model as a quantitative model to predict the viscosity of mortar depending on various aggregate sizes. The Krieger–Dougherty model reportedly predicted the viscosity of a suspension, which includes cement-based materials. Concrete or mortar incorporates natural resources, such as sand and gravel, referred to as ag...

BACKGROUND Poly(γ-glutamic acid) (γ-PGA) is a biopolymer with many useful properties making it applicable for instance in food and skin care industries, in wastewater treatment, in biodegradable plastics or in the pharmaceutical industry. γ-PGA is usually produced microbially by different Bacillus spp. The produced γ-PGA increases the viscosity of the fermentation broth. In case of shake flask ...

A comparative study on the feasibility of producing instant high fibre plantain flour for diabetic fufu by blending soy residence with different plantain (Musa spp) varieties (Horn, false Horn and French), all sieved at 60 mesh, mixed in ratio of 60:40 was analyzed for their passing properties using standard analytical method. Results show that VIIIS60 had the highest peak viscosity (303.75 RVU...

The hydrodynamics of the capillary flow a viscous-plastic liquid in cylindrical rectilinear pores is considered, as result which structural velocity distribution over pore cross section obtained. Analytical solutions are proposed for equations hydraulic diffusion and nonlinear filtration non-Newtonian fluid porous medium. It noted that when flows medium, take form due to effective viscosity, sh...
