The edible film is an alternative that can be used as eco-friendly packaging material (biodegradable) a plastic substitute. in making films glucomannan, which dissolve easily but less elastic. development of the necessary edibles applied to foodstuffs requires combination ingredients are easy water. These materials derived from hydrocolloids or polysaccharides. research obtain formulated glucom...

The results of kinetic investigations the orthodichlorbenzene and orthoxylene sorption by high density polyethylene specimens different thickness for 35 days are presented. It is shown that solvents in swelling polymer its plasticization, which expressed changes mechanical characteristics such as ultimate strength, deformation to failure, Young's modulus.

The paper presents the results of studies effect stevia powder on quality gluten-free cookies with a complete replacement sugar in recipe. were made from mixture rice and corn flour (40/60). Margarine or vegetable oil used as fat components. Stevia was different amounts: 1.0; 2.0; 3.0%. Cookies assessed by organoleptic indicators, physical characteristics (diameter, thickness), moisture, swelli...

PURPOSE To investigate the changes in Goldmann applanation tonometry (GAT) and Ocular Response Analyzer (ORA) measurements with corneal edema induced by contact lenses. METHODS Twenty-five healthy, normal subjects (age, 23 ± 2 years) had central corneal radius (CCR), ORA, GAT, and central corneal thickness (CCT) measurements performed in both eyes before a thick, soft hydrogel contact lens wa...

It has recently been shown that thin polymer films in the nanometer thickness range exhibit anomalous swelling maxima in supercritical CO2 (Sc-Co2) in the vicinity of the critical point of CO2. The adsorption isotherm of CO2 on carbon black, silica surfaces, porous zeolites, and other surfaces, is known to exhibit anomalous maxima under similar CO2 conditions. It is believed that because CO2 po...

A 28-year-old male patient presented to us with the history of swelling over the left foot, the proximal left leg, and another separate swelling over the left greater trochanteric region since birth. The rate of enlargement of digits was disproportionate to age. For the last 2 years, he started complaining of decreased sensation over the dorsum of the left foot and sole. The physical examinatio...

PURPOSE To determine the relationship between peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (PRNFL) swelling and eventual PRNFL atrophy, and between PRNFL swelling/atrophy and neural function, in a nonhuman primate model of nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (pNAION). METHODS pNAION was induced in five normal, adult male rhesus monkeys by laser activation of intravenously injected rose...

After initial treatment for breast cancer, lymphedema often affects the trunk as well as the arm. Evaluation of truncal swelling by the clinical "pinch test" of the posterior axillary fold is unreliable. Our aim was to develop an objective measurement, using modified Harpenden skinfold calipers. Standard Harpenden skinfold calipers exert a pressure of 12.6 g.mm-2, which rapidly squeezes edema f...

We document the hygroscopic swelling and shrinkage of the central and the thickest secondary cell wall layer of wood (named S2) in response to changes in environmental humidity using synchrotron radiation-based phase contrast X-ray tomographic nanoscopy. The S2 layer is a natural fibre-reinforced nano-composite polymer and is strongly reactive to water. Using focused ion beam, micropillars with...
