benzoyl peroxide (bpo) is a first-line topical treatment in acne vulgaris, and it is superior to antibiotics, because the bacteria do not develop resistance to it. skin irritation is a common side effect, and it has been shown that controlled release of bpo from a delivery system to the skin could reduce the side effects while reducing percutaneous absorption. therefore, the purpose of the pres...

background : this research provides an insight into exposure information and particle size distributions of bisphenol a (bpa), a common environmental hormone, at polycarbonate (pc) molding plants in southern taiwan. methods : the inhalable dust sampler as iom and the micro-orifice uniform deposition impactor (moudi) were used for samples collection to evaluate the level and particle size distri...

nanocomposite of zro2/zno was prepared under ultrasonic irradiation by sol gel process from directly mixing zirconium and zinc gels, and the mixture was placed under ultrasonic irradiation for 2 hours then aging time the filtrated composite gel was calcinated at 500°c for 3h in furnace. the precursor sol of zirconium was prepared from an aqueous solution of zrcl4 and zinc acetate dihydrated was...

as a native fermented dairy drink, doogh is an important industrial product in iran. however, its characteristics have not been completely evaluated. this study evaluated the flow behavior, particle size distribution and stability of non-fat doogh as affected by the row material employed (fresh skim milk or skim milk powder) and the total solids (ts) content of the final drink. the viscosity of...

the design of cement slurry for horizontal wellbores is challenging as it must present very high quality cement slurry properties e.g. zero free water, less than 50 cc api fluid loss value, appropriate rheology and yield point for effective displacement, adequate compressive strength, which is critical for lightweight slurries, and finally stable cement column behind casing. the main objective ...

Soot formation in premixed laminar flames is examined for a canonical set of burning C6 hydrocarbon fuels. Particle mobility size and flame temperature measurements are complemented by structure calculations using detailed chemistry. Specifically, the evolution soot particle distribution (PSDF) compared n-hexane, n-hexene, 2-methylpentane, cyclohexane benzene at carbon-to-oxygen ratio 0.69 maxi...

New simulation algorithm of soot oxidation in diesel particulate filter (DPF) is proposed. Two-dimensional finite differences scheme is used for calculation of the heat transfer in DPF (macro-scale). One dimensional model for treatment of the soot oxidation process in a separate filter channel (micro-scale) is based on a new expression for the oxidation reaction rate that is a modification of t...

conventional compression ignition (ci) engines are known for their high thermal efficiency compared to spark ignited (si) engines. gasoline because of its higher ignition delay has much lower soot emission in comparison with diesel fuel. using double injection strategy reduces the maximum heat release rate that leads to nox emission reduction. in this paper, a numerical study of a gasoline fuel...

piroxicam has two different crystalline forms (known as needle and cubic forms), that they are different in physicochemical properties such as biological solubility. in the current research, using taguchi experimental design approach the influences of five operating variables on formation of the piroxicam polymorph shapes in recrystallization were studied. the variables include type of solvent,...
