A method is described for the purification of the A substance in horse saliva, and additional observations on the chemical properties of the preparation are reported. The preparation isolated was found to be highly active serologically and it appears to be polysaccharide in nature.

The authors present an epizootiological analysis of viral haemorrhagic disease of rabbits in Poland. The biological, physical and chemical properties of virus isolates used for the production and control of the vaccine 'Cunivac' (produced in Poland) are also presented. The safety and efficacy of this vaccine are demonstrated. Laboratory experiments and large-scale field observations yielded sat...

Molecular modeling frequently constructs classification models for the prediction of two-class entities, such as compound bio(in)activity, chemical property (non)existence, protein (non)interaction, and so forth. The models are evaluated using well known metrics such as accuracy or true positive rates. However, these frequently used metrics applied to retrospective and/or artificially generated...

in this paper a new method for nondestructive testing or nondestructive evaluation is proposed for glass-epoxy composite. for this purpose, impact-echo is used to evaluate the properties of composite materials, detecting internal defects and thickness measurement. in the impact-echo method a steel ball impacts on a composite plate and generates stress waves or p-waves which will be transferred ...

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of applying methods andamount of ammonium polyphosphate (0, 2 and 4 wt%) on fire retardancy andmechanical properties of wood flour/polypropylene composites. The resultsshowed that addition of fire retardant improved the mechanical properties such astensile and flexural strengths and fire retardancy of composites. But by increasingof fire retar...

In recent decades, the use of self-consolidating concrete has become widespread. Hence, recognizing the various properties of self-consolidating concrete are essential. In this study, several mixture designs have been tested and final mixture design of crushed tile aggregates which were replaced by 0%, 25 %, 50%, and 100% volume percentage of natural aggregates were conducted. To evaluate fresh...

this paper studies pull-in behavior of a bio-mass sensor with a cantilevered cnt actuated electrostatically considering rippling deformation. although this phenomenon can change the behavior of cnt remarkably, its effect on the performance of a cnt-based mass sensor is not investigated yet. this investigation is based on modified euler-bernoulli beam theory and rippling effect is entered the eq...

In this article, we present the results of an analysis that describes the research centered on Journal Impact Factors (JIFs). The purpose of the analysis is to make a start of studying part of the field of quantitative science studies that relates to the most famous and classic bibliometric indicator around and to see what characteristics apply to the research on JIFs. In this article, we start...
