Thistle oil (INCI: Silybum marianum seed oil) is known as an anti-oxidant, moisturizing and skin regenerating cosmetic raw material. Nanoemulsions are a new form of cosmetic product showing very good user properties (ease of spreading over the skin with no greasy feeling). Moreover, due to their structure, they can also transport both hydrophilic and hydrophobic active substances to the skin. T...

When oil droplets impact a solid surface for oil-air lubrication, they may spread out to produce thin layer on the surface, which serves as significant source of lubrication. A test rig was constructed in this research observe spreading behavior impacting surfaces from both frontal and lateral views. From view, laser-induced fluorescence techniques are used measure thickness quantitatively duri...

it has been known for years that microbial surface active agents have a wide range of applications not only in oil spill environment but also in many industries. their properties including: (i) changing surface active phenomena, such as lowering of surface and interfacial tensions, (ii) wetting and penetrating actions, (iii) spreading, (iv) hydrophylicity and hydrophobicity actions, (v) microbi...

This paper demonstrates a biologicallyand psychologicallyinspired human-like computational memory focusing on the retrieval mechanisms – Spreading Activation and Compound Cue for a companion agent’s episodic memory (EM) that helps the agent to manage it’s memory more efficiently and enable it to have a more natural interaction with the user.

flood spreading has an effective role in the soil improvement and fertility, ground water storage, revival of vegetation and prevention of fluent sands movement. one of the main problem of flood spreading projects is the entrance of sediment to the spreading systems and sedimentation in it. sediment reduces the efficiency of the flood spreading system and after awhile lose its efficiency.the ma...

In this essay the author claims that scarlet fever, if treated by inunction with the essential oil of eucalyptus, may be prevented from spreading without isolation, and, as a rule, in ten days. This method of treatment was, we believe, first discussed at a meeting of the Epidemiological Society in 1890, and the present essay was read at the Congress of Hygiene in 1891. We have re-read the essay...

Our electrochemical cell consisted of a ferrocene-included hemispherical nitrobenzene (NB) droplet on the glassy carbon (GC) electrode which was immersed in the aqueous solution including sodium sulfate and sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS). When an air bubble was injected near the boundary between the oil and the aqueous phase, it stayed at the top of the hemisphere on the boundary so that the lowe...
