On-line studies of structural development during continuous drawing of nylon 66 fiber at different temperatures were carried out using synchrotron wide-angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD). A unique image analysis method was introduced to analyze the two-dimensional (2D) WAXD patterns. The quantitative fractions of crystal, mesomorphic and amorphous phases were obtained. In this study, the Brill tran...

Refraction was performed at frequent, regular intervals for six months following routine intracapsular cataract extraction. Patients were divided into two groups, those whose limbal sections were closed with 8-0 virgin silk or with 9-0 nylon. The stabilisation of refraction was observed, and the most suitable time to prescribe 'first glasses' was estimated retrospectively. In the silk group thi...

The retention of nitrous oxide in samples of nitrous oxide in air held in disposable plastic syringes, glass syringes and custom-made nylon film bags was studied by means of gas chromatography at intervals of 90 min, 24, 48 and 120 h after filling the containers. After 24 h the nylon bags retained a mean concentration of 94.5% of the original concentration of nitrous oxide. The disposable plast...

duodenojejunal flexure and the final one about 4 cm from the caecum. The nylon string was cut and retrieved through the perforations. The patient was put in the Lloyd-Davis position and the lower part of the tube removed from the rectum: one operator pulled from below while another pushed the faecal matter containing the string gently down from within the abdomen. The entire distal end of the t...

Herein we report for the first time fabrication of reverse bumpy ball (RBB)-type-nanoreactor-based flexible peroxidase-mimic membrane reactors (MRs). The RBB-type nanoreactors with gold nanoparticles embedded in the inner walls of carbon shells were loaded on nylon membranes through a facile filtration approach. The as-prepared flexible catalytic membrane was studied as a peroxidase-mimic MR. I...

This paper describes design and analysis of Spur gear. In the present work, it is proposed to substitute the metallic gear of sugarcane juice machine with plastic gears to reduce the weight and noise. For the purpose of two different types of plastic materials were considered namely Nylon and Polycarbonate and their viability are checked with their counterpart metallic gear (Cast iron). Based o...

We describe a procedure for recycling nylon hybridization membranes, enabling their repeated use for radioactive Southern hybridization analysis of different DNA samples. Following hybridization and probe removal, nylon membranes containing covalently linked DNAs were treated with 0.55% sodium hypochlorite. This destroyed the DNA, thereby preventing it from participating in further hybridizatio...
