A novel double distilled water plan t has been designed and fabri cated w ith the main obj ecti ves to overcome the drawbacks of ex isting conventional plants and to save energy. T he deta il ed schematic drawing of the plant is given; its operating proced ure is al so discussed. Its work ing is based on a non-convention al method of vapori zing water. A ll the aspects of the experimental obser...

Each of 28 Vibrio strains and 3 Campylobacter strains was immobilized in distilled water (pH 6.9), but retained full motility in Trypticase soy broth. This phenomenon was not seen with any of 243 non-Vibrio, non-Campylobacter isolates representing 44 taxa of gram-negative bacteria.

Production of drug nanoparticles is an effective strategy to enhance solubility and oral absorption of water-insoluble drugs. The handling of drug nanoparticles has been an important issue in drug formulation because nanoparticles easily aggregate each other and redispersion of these particles is very difficult. In the present study, we developed a unique two-solution mixing type spray nozzle t...

Decimal reduction values (D value) for 30 viruses were determined. The weighted D values of the viruses suspended in Eagle's minimum essential medium ranged from 0.39 to 0.53 Mrads. It was necessary to increase the radiation dose by a factor of >3 to inactivate virus suspended in Eagle's minimum essential medium as compared to the same virus suspended in distilled water. The destruction rate cu...

Laryngeal chemoreflexes (LCR) are triggered by the contact of assorted liquids with the laryngeal mucosa. In the neonatal period, the immature LCR consist primarily of apnea and bradycardia, which at times can be life threatening. The aim of this study was to assess LCR induction in nonsedated, newborn full-term lambs by several acid solutions, compared with distilled water and saline. Twelve l...
