drop plate technique has a priority and preference compared with the spread plate procedure, because of less time, quantity of media, effort requirement, little incubator space, and less labor intensive. the objective of this research was to compare the accuracy and fidelity of drop plate method vs. spread plate method by parametric and nonparametric statistical tests. for bacterial enumeration...

an experimental study has been made of the hydrodynamics of a stage mixer-settler to obtain appropriate design information. in this paper several tests were done according to full factorial design of experiments with high reliability, since each test recurs seven times and the results of  them are very close to each other(p=1bar and t=25 °c). sauter diameter in each test is determined with phot...

Liquid-liquid dispersions are commonly used for separations and reaction systems, because the added interfacial area due to dispersion aids in mass transfer and chemical reaction rates. Transient coalescence experiments have been performed for a wide range of dispersed-phase fractions and impeller speeds. A similarity transformation of the experimental drop-size distribution is possible for mos...

background : this research provides an insight into exposure information and particle size distributions of bisphenol a (bpa), a common environmental hormone, at polycarbonate (pc) molding plants in southern taiwan. methods : the inhalable dust sampler as iom and the micro-orifice uniform deposition impactor (moudi) were used for samples collection to evaluate the level and particle size distri...
