purification of drinking and industrial water required usage of high molecular weight polymer to cause flocculation process of dispersed suspension of contaminants. polyelectrolytes, including ionic polyacrylamide are especially appropriate for these purposes, because in this case the suspension stability can be controlled by both steric and electrostatic forces. thus the influence of solution ...

OBJECTIVE To describe a simple and effective facelift technique useful as an adjunct to other oculoplastic procedures METHODS Retrospective, non-comparative case series. Thirty five patients undergoing suture midface suspension from 1998 to 2000. Suspension sutures were passed from the nasolabial fold to the temporalis fascia to elevate the midface and the corner of the mouth. RESULTS A sat...

Normal human erythroid progenitor cells from bone marrow were grown in culture using a methyl cellulose clonal assay technique. Sideroblastic erythroid cells were found in the majority of colonies examined at 14-17 days, and a few sideroblasts were found in some of the colonies examined after shorter periods of culture. Electron microscopy confirmed the presence of both intramitochondrial iron ...

This paper introduces a class of passive interconnected suspensions, defined mathematically in terms of their mechanical admittance matrices, with the purpose of providing greater freedom to specify independently bounce, pitch, roll, and warp dynamics than conventional (passive) suspension arrangements. Two alternative realization schemes are described that are capable of implementing this clas...

Using hydraulic interconnected suspension (HIS) system to improve the stability of the vehicles is a matter of recent interest of many scholars. In this paper, application of this kind of suspension system and its impact on the stability of the vehicle are studied. The governing dynamic relations of the system are presented, using free body diagram, Newton-Euler motion equations, and relations ...

introduction: transtibial amputation is the most common amputation in lower limbs. volume loss of residual limb occurs during daily use of prostheses, which results in pistoning between residual limb and prosthetic socket. the goal of this study was to design and fabricate a pneumatic suspension system in transtibial supracondylar prostheses and to evaluate its effect on residual limb pistoning...

We prove the conjecture of Berstein, Hilton, and Ganea that an (n I)-connected CW-complex X with dim X < k(n 2) + 3 which has a co-Ak_,-space structure desuspends. Moreover, we show the following dual of a result of Segal: given a cosimplicial space Y, which is special in the sense that the canonical maps Vz’, Yr + k;, are homotopy equivalences and Yl is 2-connected then there is a functorial d...

Although suspension laryngoscopy (SL) is routinely used in operative laryngology, no prospectively gathered data on the complications of this procedure have so far been available. We prospectively analyzed 339 consecutive procedures for intervention-related complications. The survey included preoperative dental status and assessment of postoperative dental, mucosal, and nerve injuries. Minor mu...

Suspension cultures were incubated in the presence and absence of gibberellic acid (GA(3)) in an attempt to define a new experimental system for study of the molecular action of gibberellins upon growth. Unlike many suspension cultures, an auxin-independent green clone from spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.) and an auxin-dependent line of "Paul's Scarlet" rose (Rosa sp.) were promoted in expansion ...

Famotidine is a white to pale yellow crystalline compound that is freely soluble in glacial acetic acid, slightly soluble in methanol, very slightly soluble in water, and practically insoluble in ethanol. Each tablet for oral administration contains either 20 mg or 40 mg of famotidine and the following inactive ingredients: hydroxypropyl cellulose, hypromellose, iron oxides, magnesium stearate,...
