the use of an inorganic phase in water-in-oil (w/o) microemulsion   has   received considerable attention recently for preparing metal oxide   nanoparticles. this is a technique, which allows preparation of ultrafine   metal oxide nanoparticles within the size range 40 to 80 nm. preparation of   nano zno and cr 2 o 3 studied, investigated in the inverse   microemulsion system. therefore the nuc...

The EPA method 1623 is designed specifically for the detection of Cryptosporidium and Giardia, but the method has some issues with low and variable recoveries. Ultrafiltration has been used effectively for microorganism recovery from water samples but is not approved by the EPA. To determine the efficacy of using ultrafiltration, 10-L tap water and surface water samples were seeded with Cryptos...

This article summarizes ways to verify neutron fluence for neutron transmutation doping of silicon with phosphorus on the LVR-15 reactor. Neutron fluence is determined using activation detectors placed along the crystal in a strip or encapsulated in a rod holder. Holders are placed at the centre of a water-filled capsule or in an aluminum or silicon ingot that simulates a real single crystal. I...

A large-scale water capsule was formed after 8 times inrush of mud and water in Yonglian tunnel. The capsule seriously inhabited the construction of the tunnel. By combining with the geological conditions in tunnel site, the causes and characteristics of the water capsule were analyzed. Its spatial location and size were explorated by comprehensive exploration methods. In order to control the w...

A self-assembled capsule facilitates reactions of isocyanates with water. The capsule provides an amphiphilic environment with hydrophobic aromatic ends and hydrophilic glycoluril units at the center. Reaction takes place in the narrow, cylindrical space to form the N,N-dialkylurea, which then appears in a longer capsule.

PURPOSE To investigate the effect of distilled deionized water (DDW) on lens epithelial cells (LECs) attached to the lens capsule. SETTING Wound Healing Research Laboratory, Center for Vision Research, Westmead Hospital, Sydney, NSW, Australia. METHODS Anterior capsulotomy specimens taken during routine cataract surgery were divided in half. One half was immersed in DDW and the other half i...

a capsule endoscope with use of a transparent hood and real-time viewer Capsule endoscopy relies on an intact swallowing mechanism and unimpeded passage of the capsule through the pylorus [1]. A new method for endoscopic placement of the capsule is described. A transparent hood (MH-464; Olympus, Tokyo, Japan), whose inside wall is lined with vinyl tape, is attached to the tip of the endoscope (...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Water adhesion forces, water absorption capacity and permeability of the pine exine were investigated to consider a possible function of sporopollenin coatings in the control of water transport. METHODS The experiments were carried out with sporopollenin capsules obtained from pine pollen consisting of an empty central capsule and two sacci. Changes in the concentration of...

Wax-coated capsules containing selective ingredients (brilliant green and oxgall) were added at the time of inoculation of most-probable-number media (modified lactose broths). The inhibitory ingredients gradually diffused from the capsules into the nonselective media, imparting selectivity to the media. Concentrations of brilliant green did not reach inhibitory levels until 2 or more h had ela...
