OBJECTIVE To provide recommendations for refrigerator storage of human milk, the overall integrity (bacterial growth, cell counts, and component concentrations) of milk was examined during 96 hours of storage at 4 degrees C. STUDY DESIGN Fresh milk samples (n = 36) were divided and stored at 4 degrees C for 0, 24, 48, 72, and 96 hours. At each time, pH, white cell count, and osmolality were m...

OBJECTIVES This study aimed to assess the effect of storage time and temperature on dimensional stability of impressions made with Cavex Outline zinc oxide impression paste. MATERIALS AND METHODS A round stainless steel mold with five grooves (three horizontal and two vertical) was used in this in-vitro experimental study. Cavex Outline impression paste was prepared according to the manufactu...

BACKGROUND When male animals die, spermatozoa within the body of animal will be degenerated. Because of unique chromatin structure of sperm, maybe this degeneration is different from other cells. However there is not any research which considered directly the integrity of sperm DNA by keeping the cadaver in refrigerator. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to assess viability, total motility ...

An experimental performance comparison study on domestic refrigerator system was conducted and compared with HFC134a and M09 (HFC134a and HC blend (containing 55.2%HC600a and 44.8%HC290 by weight)) mixture refrigerant. The domestic refrigerator system was initially designed to operate with HFC134a.Experimental results showed that the refrigeration capacity of the refrigerant M09 mixture system ...

Based on Fluent software, a mathematical model of thermosyphon pump is established and numerical simulation carried out to study the influence riser tube length, diameter immersion ratio liquid lifting capacity efficiency. The results showed that: volume increased with increase ratio, whereas efficiency trend increasing followed by decreasing. highest for 340mm long, 6mm achieved when 0.35. Wit...
