Aim: Different promising colloidal delivery systems including microemulsions and liquid crystals could be obtained with suitable combination of oil, surfactants/cosurfactants and water. However, the main problem from a formulation point of view has been to choose the surfactants capable of forming such systems and be physiologically acceptable in the same time. To overcome the later shortcoming...

Aerosols alter cloud density and the radiative balance of the atmosphere. This leads to changes in cloud microphysics and atmospheric stability, which can either suppress or foster the development of clouds and precipitation. The net effect is largely unknown, but depends on meteorological conditions and aerosol properties. Here, we examine the long-term impact of aerosols on the vertical devel...

The glycoalkaloid content of pet food containing potatoes is investigated using a liquid-liquid solvent extraction followed by analysis by ultra-high pressure liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS-MS). Pet food samples are homogenized and extracted with a solution of 50:50 (v/v) acetonitrile-deionized water containing 5% acetic acid. Following vortexing and centrifugation, 3 m...

in this research, some of the echo-physiological characteristics of pistachio trees were studied to understand crop response to drought stress and determine the best irrigation interval. this experiment was carried out in an orchard with a sandy loam textured soil and a commercial cultivar of pistachio named ouhadi grafted on pistacia vera l. rootstock for three years. the irrigation system sel...

We investigate shear strength properties of wet granular materials in the pendular state (i.e., the state where the liquid phase is discontinuous) as a function of water content. Sand and glass beads were wetted and tested in a direct shear cell and under various confining pressures. In parallel, we carried out three-dimensional molecular dynamics simulations by using an explicit equation expre...

The article discusses the methods used to measure water content in liquid dielectrics. pros and cons of currently are presented. main aim research was check possibility using near-infrared spectroscopy On basis conducted research, absorbance bands indicated that can be determine synthetic natural esters. These centered at 1901 1904 nm for esters, respectively. determined dependence on dielectri...

On the basis of 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging assay-guided purification, ellagic acid was isolated from the methanol extract of pomegranate fruit peel by liquid-liquid extraction and chromatographic techniques. A reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography was described for determination of ellagic acid in pomegranate fruit peel extract. The method involved t...
