Studies on Workability of Emulsion Paints. II.

Conservation of artists' acrylic emulsion paints: XPS, NEXAFS and ATR-FTIR studies of wet cleaning methods†

Works of art prepared with acrylic emulsion paints became commercially available in the 1960s. It is increasingly necessary to undertake and optimise cleaning and preventative conservation treatments to ensure their longevity. Model artists' acrylic paint films covered with artificial soiling were thus prepared on a canvas support and exposed to a variety of wet cleaning treatments based on aqu...

Analytical chemical studies on traditional linseed oil paints

Randomized safety studies of intravenous perflubron emulsion. II. Effects on immune function in healthy volunteers.

Particle size distribution is a major determinant of particle clearance by the mononuclear phagocytic system and the potential for concomitant activation of resident macrophages. To test the safety of a second-generation perflubron-based emulsion (60% perfluorocarbon [PFC] wt/vol; Oxygent [Alliance Pharmaceutical Corp., San Diego, CA]) with a small mean particle size, two parallel, randomized, ...

Experimental and clinical studies on fat emulsion for intravenous nutrition.

An experimental and clinical study on DI-22, a fat emulsion for intravenous use and the first such product to be developed in Japan is present. DI-22 consists of linoleic acid, oleic acid, palmitic acid and linoleic acid which is made isotonic with glycerol. The size of the fat particles are 0.8-1.0 in diameter and are uniform in shape. The fluctuation of hemoglobin and hematocrit was the same ...

postnatal studies of bats (pipistrellus kuhlii and miniopterus schreibersii) & histomorphology and histochemistry studies of organs and diseases of (neurergus microspilotus and n. kaiseri)

1. to determine whether difference in birth body mass influenced growth performance in pipistrellus kuhlii we studied a total of 12 captive-born neonates. bats were assigned to two body mass groups: light birth body mass (lbw: 0.89 ± 0.05, n=8) and heavy birth body mass (hbw: 1.35 ± 0.08, n=4). heavier body mass at birth was associated with rapid postnatal growth (body mass and forearm length) ...
