The suitability of various peroxide initiators for a radical polymerization-based self-healing system is evaluated. The initiators are compared using previously established criteria in the design of ring opening metathesis polymerizationbased self-healing systems. Benzoyl peroxide (BPO) emerges as the best performing initiator across the range of evaluation criteria. Epoxy vinyl ester resin sam...

Our objective was to determine if annatto color or bleaching had any influence on ultrafiltration (UF) flux during production of 80% whey protein concentrate (WPC) or 80% serum protein concentrate (SPC). Cheddar cheese whey (18 vats using 900 kg of whole milk each) and microfiltration (MF) permeate of skim milk (18 processing runs using 1000 kg of skim milk each) were produced. The 18 runs were...

Acne is a chronic inflammatory skin disease that involves the pathogenesis of four major factors, such as androgen-induced increased sebum secretion, altered keratinization, colonization of Propionibacterium acnes, and inflammation. Several acne mono-treatment and combination treatment regimens are available and prescribed in the Indian market, ranging from retinoids, benzoyl peroxide (BPO), an...

این پژوهش با الهام گرفتن از نتایج یک طرح مطالعاتی کاربردی، رویکرد سلسله­‌مراتبی جهت پیگیری فرایند توسعه تأمین‌کنندگان و حمایت تصمیمات موجود در هر مراحل آن ارائه‌ می‌کند. ابتدا، زمینه‌های تأمین نیازمند سپس واجد شرایط هریک زمینه‌ها به کمک تصمیم‌گیری چندشاخصه بهترین-بدترین مشخص می‌گردند. معیارهای شناسایی نیز مرور مطالعات پیشین بهره‌گیری نظرات خبرگان حوزه‌ی خرید استخراج‌شده‌اند. درنهایت، مدل ریاضی ...

We characterized the acid–base properties, electrochemistry, and electrogenerated chemiluminescence (ECL) of neutral red in acetonitrile (MeCN). To determine the acid–base properties, the basic form (NR) of neutral red was prepared and titrated with anhydrous HClO4, yielding pKa = 6.5 in MeCN. NR showed three irreversible electrochemical oxidations and a one-electron reversible reduction. Howev...

The fixed-dose combination adapalene 0.1%/benzoylperoxide 2.5% (A/BPO) was introduced as an acne vulgaris therapeutic in 2007. It combines anti-inflammatory, keratolytic, comedolytic, and antibacterial properties. Thus, it addresses several pathophysiological factors involved in the pathophysiology of acne. This review highlights the rationale for the use of this fixed-dose combination product,...

OBJECTIVE To analyze the underlying lower urinary tract dysfunctions by video-urodynamic studies in men who have persistent storage symptoms after initial drug therapy for lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) suggestive of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). METHODS The medical records of 614 men ≥40 years of age with LUTS and an International Prostate Symptom Score of ≥8 were retrospectively ...
