Wetting agents can be used to increase infiltration rates into hydrophobic (water repellent) soils. A field test was conducted on a soil classified as Tujunga stony sandy loam, which was found to be extremely hydrophobic to learn more about the effectiveness of wetting agents. The area is located near Fontana. The land had been farmed in small grain crops years ago and then was used as a hog ra...

background: orally disintegrating tablets (odts) are a modern form of tablets that when placed in the oral cavity, disperses rapidly. these tablets have advantages, particularly good applications for children and old patients who have a complication in chewing or swallowing solid dosage forms. the aim of this study was to design, formulate, and evaluate the physicochemical properties of 5 mg mo...

1.1 Dyeing auxiliaries Auxiliaries are compounds which are not an integral part of the dyeing process but by adding them to the dye bath the dyeing can be improved. The main functions of auxiliaries are to prepare or improve the substrate in readiness for colorants (by wetting, providing sorption sites, improving or resisting the migration of dyes), to stabilize the application media (by improv...

Phosphorus is known to be exported from leaves of apple (8, 9, 10), bean (4, 6, 11, 12, 13), chrysanthemum (1, 2), corn (11, 12), tomato (12) and squash (71). The present work with bean plants compares export following application by spray, leaf vein injection (4) and droplet (13) methods. Other factors investigated which affect absorption and subsequent translocation of the spray-applied phosp...

Pressure-sensitive adhesives or PSAs are traditionally used on labels, including paper labels and clear labels, Figure 1, which are made from plastic film. Other important uses for PSAs include adhesive tapes and a wide range of graphical applications. One factor that all these applications have in common is a specific requirement relating to the end performance of the adhesive system, which is...

BACKGROUND This study was carried out to evaluate the effect of two commercially available chemical disinfectants namely sodium hypochlorite and glutaraldehyde and a surface wetting agent on the wettability of three high precision elastomeric impression materials, addition silicone, condensation silicone and polyether. MATERIALS AND METHODS Three different types of elastomeric impression mate...
