Super- and sub-critical water treatments have been of interest as novel methods for protein hydrolysis. In the present study, we studied the effect of sub-critical water (Sub-H2O, 300℃, 80 bar) treatment as well as super-critical water (Super-H2O, 400℃, 280 bar) treatment on the physicochemical properties of porcine skin (PS), which has abundant collagen. Porcine skin was subjected to pre-therm...

Background: Staphylococcus aureus is an emerging pathogen afflicting healthy individuals without known risk factors, and methicillinresistant Staphylococcus aureus has been shown to colonize multiple family members sharing households. Because household items such as towels are often shared by family members, this study investigated whether cotton towel absorbency or washing conditions affect St...

Carbonization coefficient research has great significance in concrete carbonization evaluation. Nano-silica (NS) can reduce the content of Ca(OH)2, which is generated during hydration concrete, resulting improved resistance and compressive strength concrete. This paper investigates effects with internal curing, such as Super Absorbent Polymer (SAP). The shows that SAP promote but form tiny pore...

Determination of an effective rate constant and activation energy allowed the application of steady-state theory to predict concentrations of compound A from sevoflurane concentrations, fresh gas flow rate, absorbent temperature and amount of absorbent. Studies by eight research groups were compared. Lower concentrations of compound A than predicted were observed at low flow rates, suggesting t...

background: super oxidized water (sow), as a novel antiseptic solution, is used with claims of effectiveness and cost effectiveness in healing chronic wounds such as diabetic foot, infectious post-operative ulcers and burn ulcers. we conducted a health technology assessment to evaluate the clinical evidence from clinical and randomized trials for this disinfection. this study aims to evaluate t...

We propose a generalization of the notion of the absorbent element of aggregation operators. Our construction involves tuples of values that are absorbent, that is, that decide the result of aggregation. We analyze some basic properties of this generalization and determine the absorbent tuples of some popular classes of aggregation operators.

Swelling of grains due to water absorption is ubiquitous in many natural materials and industrial products. Hence, a thorough understanding grain swelling great scientific importance. An experimental investigation can only provide limited information, whereas insight could be gained from numerical modelling, rigorous models for describing particle are essential. Thus, the objective this study d...
