A method for the determination of serum glucoseemployinga heat clot technic for the elimination of protein and other interfering substances is described. Serum (0.10 ml.) and absolute methyl alcohol (0.09 ml. delivered as six drops) are mixed in a shell vial and a clot is formed by immersionof the vial in a 60#{176} water bath for 4 mm. The clot is overlaid with 2.0 ml. of water and the contain...

We have investigated a new class of food-grade particles, whey protein microgels, as stabilisers of triglyceride-water emulsions. The sub-micron particles stabilized oil-in-water emulsions at all pH with and without salt. All emulsions creamed but exhibited exceptional resistance to coalescence. Clear correlations exist between the properties of the microgels in aqueous dispersion and the resul...

Triple emulsion drops with an ultrathin water layer are developed to achieve high encapsulation efficiency of hydrophobic cargo in a hydrophobic polymeric shell, directly dispersed in water. Furthermore, enhanced retention of volatile hydrophobic cargo is achieved by forming a hydrogel network within this water layer that serves as a physical barrier.

Pasture performance of 924 dairy farms in a major irrigation district of Australia was investigated for their water use and water productivity during the 2015-2016 summer which was the peak irrigation period. Using satellite images from Landsat-8 and Sentinel-2, estimates of crop coefficient (Kc) were determined on the basis of a strong linear relationship between crop evapotranspiration (ETc) ...

In this paper, the GIS technology and river water quality monitoring were integrated to design an intelligent water environment monitoring and disaster warning system. The designed system can not only provide web publishing service for water environment monitoring, but it can also prompt to the user the possibility of water disaster according to the change of some important parameters in water,...

The radiative characteristics of stratocumulus clouds are dependent upon their microphysical properties, primarily the liquid water content and effective radius of the drop population. Aircraft observations of droplet spectra in warm stratocumulus over the North Atlantic and around the British Isles by the Hercules C-130 aircraft of the U.K. Meteorological Office Meteorological Research Flight ...
