Background and Objective: Formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissues are a valuable source of DNA for molecular studies. We designed and optimized an efficient procedure for DNA extraction from formalin-fixed paraffin embedded tissues. Materials and Methods: Seventy three blocks of cervical paraffin-embedded tissues were investigated. DNA was extracted using 45 minutes boiling in alkaline sol...

To address the drawback of low thermal conductivity conventional organic phase change materials (PCMs), a paraffin-wax-based composite (PCC) was assembled via vacuum impregnation method, using new type carbon fiber network material as supporting matrix. The sheet (CFS) exhibited structure comprising high-thermal-conductivity fibers, beneficial for enhancing heat transfer properties PCC. sheet-s...

The present experimental study reports the thermal performance analysis of a phase change material (PCM)-basedfinned heat sink placed on silicone rubber heater which mimics CPU chip and is cooled by natural forced convection. subjected to constant cyclic loading for five input power values (4, 6, 8, 10, 12 W). Paraffin wax 1-hexadecanol are selected as PCM this study, have melting points in ran...
