PURPOSE This study was undertaken to evaluate the endothelial pump function by monitoring both corneal swelling response under hypoxia and dehydration response following hypoxia in vivo. METHODS Humidified nitrogen gas was used to obtain corneal swelling, and humidified gas mixed with oxygen and nitrogen was used for corneal dehydration. First, in 6 young volunteers, we investigated the most ...

Pada umumnya gas alam (natural gas) yang baru keluar dari perut bumi memiliki kandungan uap air cukup tinggi dalam kondisi saturated (jenuh). Kandungan akan menyebabkan kemungkinan timbulnya hidrat semakin besar sehingga tersebut menimbulkan permasalahan operasional pabrik dan dapat menurunkan nilai jual secara ekonomis. harus dihilangkan sampai potensi pembentukan didalam serendah mungkin. Pen...

In recent years, green solvents named deep eutectic solvents (DESs) have been found to possess significant properties and to be applicable in several technologies. Choline chloride (ChCl) mixed with urea at a ratio of 1:2 and 80 °C was the first discovered DES. In this article, chemical structure and combination mechanism of ChCl: urea based DES were investigated. Moreover, the implementation o...

Pseudogymnoascus destructans is the causative fungal agent of white-nose syndrome (WNS), an emerging fungal-borne epizootic. WNS is responsible for a catastrophic decline of hibernating bats in North America, yet we have limited understanding of the physiological interactions between pathogen and host. Pseudogymnoascus destructans severely damages wings and tail membranes, by causing dryness th...
