Membranes have been clinically used for guided tissue and bone regeneration for decades, but their use in every day clinical practice is rather limited. We developed a biodegradable membrane (InionGTR) composed of polylactide, polyglycolide and trimethylene carbonate aiming to improve the properties of membrane. Before application the membrane is treated with N-methyl-pyrrolidone (NMP) to achie...

Lithium metal batteries (LMBs) enabled by quasi-solid electrolytes are under consideration for their prospect of reliable safety and high energy density. The limited oxidative stabilization inferior chemical compatibility toward high-voltage cathodes a long-standing challenge. Herein, we report that an additive level (0.05 M) LiPF6 is introduced to polymeric concentrated electrolyte (10 M LiFSI...

Non-minimum phase (NMP) model is a discrete-time model obtained from small or reducing sampling-time of open-loop input and output experimental data. The classical feed-forward controller design of this model using inverse of the closed-loop transfer function would produce an unstable tracking control. This is due to phase and gain errors that caused by NMP zero. Thus, zero phase error tracking...

The increasing awareness of evposure to traditional paint strippers has prompted a search for altemativeproducts. Onegroup of such alternatives are formulations based on N-Methylpyrolidone (NMPkqn comparing NMP-based paint removers with more volatile products, the primary tradeoffs are stripping speed versus solvent inhalation, and product cost v e m wage cost. NMP-based paint removers work at ...

In Daphnia (Cladocera, Crustacea), parthenogenetic reproduction alternates with sexual reproduction. Individuals of both sexes that belong to the same parthenogenetic line are genetically identical, and their sex is determined by the environment. Previously, non-male producing (NMP) genotypes have been described in species of the Daphnia pulex group. Such genotypes can only persist through phas...

Coal is most important fossil fuel in world. Energy requirement of world is increasing in many fields day by day. The crude oil and coal are the main backbone of energy. Since the reserves of crude oil are decreasing day by day as a result the coal becomes the main sources of fossil fuel. Ash content of Indian coal is very high ranging from 15% to 55% [1]. Ash is an inorganic compound present i...

Objectives This study investigated the removal efficacy and cytotoxicity of a newly developed calcium hydroxide paste (cleaniCal, Maruchi) using N-2-methyl-pyrrolidone (NMP) as a vehicle in comparison with ApexCal (Ivoclar Vivadent) and Calcipex II (Nishika), which use different vehicles such as polyethylene glycol and propylene glycol, respectively. Materials and Methods Thirty maxillary pre...

Establishing an occupational exposure limit (OEL) for N-methyl pyrrolidone (NMP) is important due to its widespread use as a solvent. Based on studies in rodents, the most sensitive toxic end point is a decrease in fetal/pup body weights observed after oral, dermal, and inhalation exposures of dams to NMP. Evidence indicates that the parent compound is the causative agent. To reduce the uncerta...
