PURPOSE The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the flexural strength of the joint between glass-infiltrated alumina frames and the experimental adjusting agent (MA modifier) that contains alumina and magnesia. METHODS A commercially available adjusting agent (Optimizer), a slurry of alumina powder (Alumina modifier), and a bulk specimen (joint-free alumina) were used as controls. Be...

Effects of temperature and percentage of organic modifier were studied on retention and selectivity in RP-HPLC using solvation parameter model. The system constants were determined by multiple linear regression analysis from experimental values in the retention factor for a group of different solutes with known descriptors by computer using the program SPSS/PC. The experimental results showed t...

flaxseed is rich in omega-3 essential fatty acids, lignans, dietary fiber and natural antioxidants such as tocopherols. because of its functional effect in preventing disease, flaxseed is used as an ingredient to fortify food formulations. bread is a major food product in iran. fortification of wheat flour with ground flaxseed makes use of the healthy benefits of flaxseed. this study investigat...

background: emulsions are thermodynamically unstable systems that can be kinetically stable by adding substances known as emulsifiers and/or thickening agents. by respect to the functional properties of gum tragacanth (gt), and its breakage probability during irradiation treatment, the major aim of this study was to investigate the stability of oil in water emulsion in the presence of different...

conclusions in conclusion, the suspension containing veegum 1%, sodium carboxy methyl cellulose 1%, glycerine 0.2%, sodium citrate 0.3% and sorbitol 20 % was chosen as the most physically stable formulation. results according to the results, glycerin (0.2%) and sodium citrate (0.3%) had the best effect on the suspension stability as wetting and flocculating agents, respectively. rheological pro...
