Supramolecular hydrogels are composed of self-assembled solid networks that restrict the flow of water. l-Phenylalanine is the smallest molecule reported to date to form gel networks in water, and it is of particular interest due to its crystalline gel state. Single and multi-component hydrogels of l-phenylalanine are used herein as model materials to develop an NMR-based analytical approach to...

The application of gel electrophoresis and numerical analysis of yeast soluble proteins analysis to the investigation of 12 oral yeast strains belonging to five species is described. It involves one-dimensional electrophoresis of SDS-solubilized whole-cell proteins using different culture media for the cultivation of the cells, integration densitometries in the areas of the gels and percentages...

Agarose gels are viscoelastic soft solids that display a porous microstructure filled with water at 90% w/w or more. Despite an extensive use in food industry and microbiology, little is known about the drying kinetics of such squishy solids, which suffers from a lack of time-resolved local measurements. Moreover, only scattered empirical observations are available on the role of the gel compos...

This study aims to create a fire protection design in the kitchen with technology that is easily applied along inexpensive extinguishing media using silica gel from rice husk ash. By an experimental method, active of area uses compartmentalization equipped gas stove, equipment, as well specially designed equipment components. The composition air compartment calculated based on volume so it can ...

Introduction: In radiotherapy, treatment planning methods are evaluating and transforming every day, so precision in calculation and determination of dose delivery process is performing more important role in radiotherapy than past. In modern radiotherapy treatments, deramatically increase of small fields utilization, causes the polymeric gels has known as the most reliable dos...

Mature oilfields usually encounter the problem of high watercut. It is practical to use chemical methods for water-shutoff in production wells, however conventional water-shutoff agents have problems of long gelation time, low gel strength, and poor stability under low temperature and high salinity conditions. In this work a novel polymer gel for low temperature and high salinity reservoirs was...

Abstract The chemical durability of borosilicate glass used to confine nuclear wastes is known vary nonlinearly with their composition, making dissolution rate predictions difficult. Here, we focus on the effect Al, an important oxide these materials. initial and residual rates were investigated through experiments conducted at 90 °C pH 9. Our results show that low Al content glasses dissolve i...

Denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) is believed to be the most powerful pre-screening method for mutation detection currently available, being used mostly on an exon-by-exon basis. Broad-range DGGE for the analysis of multiple fragments or an entire gene is rarely applied. We and others have already shown that one or two DGGE conditions are usually sufficient to analyse an entire gen...
