cotton fibres were subjected to cleaning process and then characterized for maturity. decrystallisation and swelling processes with caustic soda, ethanol, propan-2-ol and trichloroethene on the native fibres were carried out. the effects of these on the strength and moisture regain were investigated. the activation energies of the dyeings were also analysed with durazol scarlet red 4 bas. the r...

poly(ethylene adipte) and poly(ethylene adipate)/silica nanocomposite (pead/sio2) containing 3 wt. % sio2  were prepared by an in situ method. the examinations on the non-isothermal crystallization kinetic behavior have been conducted by means of differential scanning calorimeter (dsc). the avrami, ozawa, and combined avrami and ozawa equations were applied to describe the crystallization kinet...

In the last ten years, the use of gamma-ray spectrometry for geological mapping and mineral exploration has shown considerable growth. With this growth, standardized procedures have been developed for the calibration and processing of the airborne measurements so that they will be independent of survey parameters. This paper describes some of the new developments to convert airborne data to gro...

Calculations of sensitivities of future experiments are a necessary ingredient in experimental high energy physics. Especially in the context of measurements of the neutrino oscillation parameters extensive studies are performed to arrive at the optimal configuration. In this note we clarify the definition of sensitivity as often applied in these studies. In addition we examine two of the most ...

signaling amp-activated protein kinase (ampk), an energy sensing enzyme, has been implicated in controlling inflammation. in this study we investigated whether activation of ampk by metformin could protect the lung from lipopolysaccharide (lps)-induced acute injury by inhibitingng tlr4 pathway. male wistar rats were randomly divided into 3 groups (n=6): control group received normal saline (0.5...

Pyrolysis is an applicable method that has been widely used to recover hydrocarbons from Used Lubricating Oil (ULO). However, large-scale application of this approach has been limited by its noticeably energy and time consuming nature. In the present research, it has been attempted to modify the energy and time requirements of ULO pyrolysis using the catalytic effects of metal oxide nanoparticl...

We consider leptogenesis induced by soft supersymmetry breaking terms (“soft leptogenesis”), in the context of the inverse seesaw mechanism. In this model there are lepton number (L) conserving and L-violating soft supersymmetry-breaking B-terms involving the singlet sneutrinos which, together with the – generically small– L-violating parameter responsible of the neutrino mass, give a small mas...

Population ageing is a major issue for society in the next years, especially because of theincrease of dependent people. The limits in specialized institutes capacity and the wish of theelderly to stay at home as long as possible explain a growing need for new specific at home services.Technologies can help securing the person at home by detecting falls. They can also help in th...
