This report presents a theoretical model of the rate at which complex formation approaches equilibrium in competitive binding systems while ligand concentration varies. Three commonly encountered systems are examined in which binder concentrations (q) are fixed at 0.5/K, 3/K and 50/K, respectively. Our analysis of the incubation time for any particular fraction of reaction completeness shows th...

A patient presented at the age of 77 yr with a low serum cobalamin level. Subsequent study showed that he had persistently very low R binder (TC I) cobalamin-binding capacity in serum (< 5 ng/liter versus 213 ± 171 ng/liter in normal controls). and that almost all of his endogenous serum cobalamin was carried by TC II instead of TC I. His saliva also demonstrated virtually undetectable R binder...

A powder injection molding (PIM) binder system has been developed for reactive metals such as titanium that employs an aromatic compound as the primary component to facilitate easy binder removal and mitigate problems with carbon contamination. In the study presented here, we examined the densification behavior, microstructure, and mechanical properties of titanium specimens formed by this proc...

Numerical simulations of the heating with constant rate of a PBX plastic-bonded explosive 9501 formulation consisting of the energetic crystal HMX embedded in a polymeric binder inside of a rigid cylinder is performed. The continuum thermo-mechanochemical model of the behavior of a PBX 9501 developed in the preceding paper V. I. Levitas, B. F. Henson, L. B. Smilowitz, D. K. Zerkle, and B. W. As...

This research aimed to use mustard flour as meat binder in processing of beef burgers instead of soybean flour (SF). Effect of addition mustard flour from two mustard varieties, yellow (Sinapis alba) (YMF) or brown (Brassica juncea) (BMF) mustard seed flour at different levels (3 and 6%) on the quality characteristics of beef burger patties was studied. The incorporation of mustard flour as a b...

We describe the design and implementation of a trust-management system Soutei, a dialect of Binder, for access control in distributed systems. Soutei policies and credentials are written in a declarative logic-based security language and thus constitute distributed logic programs. Soutei policies are modular, concise, and readable. They support policy verification, and, despite the simplicity o...

K. Kaczmarska, B. Grabowska, D. Drożyński, AGH University of Science and Technology, Faculty of Foundry Engineering, Krakow, Poland The results of preliminary tests of selected properties of the moulding sands with the binder in the form of a 5 % water solution of the sodium salt of carboxymethyl starch (with a degree of substitution (DS) of 0,2 and 0,87) are presented in this study. The mouldi...

The sintering of hardmetal in the solid state is studied. The influence of the WC particle size on the sintering kinetics, the role of the binder phase in the densification process and how sintering depends on the heating conditions are investigated. It is observed that alloys with different WC particle size show quite different structural evolution during sintering, although the densification ...

A 2(3) factorial experimental design has been used to quantitatively study individual and interaction effects of the nature of binder (N), binder concentration (c) and relative density of tablet (d) on the disintegration time (DT) and dissolution times, t1, t50 and t90, of paracetamol tablet formulations. The factorial design was also used to study the quantitative effects of pregelatinization ...

The present study concerns a development of calcium aluminate cement (CAC) concrete to enhance the durability against an externally chemically aggressive environment, in particular, chloride-induced corrosion. To evaluate the inhibition effect and concrete properties, CAC was partially mixed with ordinary Portland cement (OPC), ranging from 5% to 15%, as a binder. As a result, it was found that...
