The drying machine works with the Spray Dryer method to dry particles from a liquid state through continuous spraying in chamber. This uses an atomizer form of 0.2mm mist nozzle type injector capacity 0.00045 kg/s. Function for atomization during process occurs change vortex angle 35°. In this study, used was pure cow’s milk specific heat value 3930 J/kg K. To increase total amount solids, volu...

In this paper, we study the corrosion behavior of parylene-metalparylene thin films using accelerated-lifetime soak tests. The samples under test are thin film resistors with a 200 nm layer of Au sandwiched by parylene-C on both sides, fabricated with parylenemetal skin technology. The samples are tested in hot saline both passively and actively, and different failure modes are observed using o...

Topical hemostatic agents are used to stop bleeding in a wide range of surgical procedures. Many of the products currently available are not effective in controlling blood loss as quickly as desired, therefore, it has become common to soak hemostatic agents with thrombin, the enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of fibrinogen to fibrin. The preparation of thrombin requires additional preparatio...

In nearly all the seas around the world, in the shallow waters next to the land, are secret underwater gardens. These gardens are home to a special marine (saltwater) plant called seagrass. When seagrass grows in large areas, the habitat it creates is called a seagrass meadow. Seagrass meadows play an important role in keeping our oceans healthy and providing a home for all kinds of marine life...

not known. It is conceivable that the heat from the placenta on the anterior wall of a uterus might soak through a thin abdominal wall, but it is difficult to understand how thermal contours were altered by a placenta situated upon the posterior uterine wall of an obese patient with hydramnios as in Case 2. The radiator effect of the umbilicus has been mentioned, but this question remains open ...

In vivo biosensing requires stable transistor operation in high-salt concentration bodily fluids while exhibiting impermeability to mobile alkali ions that would otherwise render the metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) threshold voltage to drift. Metal oxide semiconductor capacitor structures using Al2O3 as the gate dielectric were soaked in a sterile physiological buffer solution (PBS) up to 24 ho...

We created a coke-repellent inner surface in stainless steel (SS-321) tube using an enhanced chemical etching tactic. A water-borne solution was formulated by combining ion sequestering ligand (L), hydrogen peroxide (H), hydrochloric acid (C), and stabilizing agent (E or N). Three etchants, LHC, LHC-E, LHC-N, were therefore formulated, respectively. The metal surfaces achieved these etchants al...

Wounding during the preparation of fresh-cut lettuce induces the synthesis of phenylalanine ammonia lyase (PAL, EC 4.3.1.5), and the synthesis and accumulation of specific phenolic compounds (e.g., chlorogenic acid) that contribute to subsequent tissue browning. Increased PAL activity and phenolic content were not induced in non-wounded lettuce that was kept in close proximity to wounded tissue...

A spa treatment for thrombo-angiitis obliterans was brought to my attention first by a patient who was planning to "take the cure" after reading an article entitled "Some Won't Die," featured in a veterans' journal.2 I had never heard about this spa, but my interest was sufficiently aroused by the name, "Soap Lake," and the brief description of the water given in the artide, to visit the lake d...
