A wide range of homogeneous elastomeric membranes has been prepared using dicumylperoxide as a general cross-linking agent. The membranes have been used for both equilibrium sorption measurements and steady-state pervaporation experiments to study solution-diffusion phenomena in the removal of volatile organic components from aqueous solutions. Pervaporation experiments have been performed unde...

The in vitro sensitivities to local anaesthetic blockade of A, B and C nerve fibres in rabbit vagus nerves were examined using a series of structurally similar amino-ester agents which varied in lipid solubility and anaesthetic potency. A fibres were found to be the most sensitive and C fibres the least sensitive to conduction blockade with all the agents, provided that equilibrium blockade was...

Orbifloxacin (ORBI) is a widely used antimicrobial drug of the fluoroquinolone class. In the official pharmaceutical compendia the existence of polymorphism in this active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) is reported. No crystal structure has been reported for this API and as described in the literature, its solubility is very controversial. Considering that different solid forms of the same API...

In this paper work, four naked nanocrystals (size range 80-700 nm) were prepared without any surfactant or polymer using the solvent/nonsolvent method. The effects of particle size on their solubility, dissolution, and oral bioavailability were investigated. Solubility and dissolution testing were performed in three types of dissolution medium, and the studies demonstrated that the equilibrium ...

We have investigated the effect of erythrocyte membrane preparations on the rate of polymerization and the solubility of deoxyhemoglobin S. The kinetics of polymerization was monitored by measuring changes in turbidity of hemoglobin S solutions as a function of time in a temperature-controlled cuvette. The solubility of deoxyhemoglobin S, an equilibrium measurement, was determined by measuring ...

Solubility data of recalcitrant contaminants in cosolvents is essential to determine their potential applications in enhanced soil remediation. The solubilities of phenanthrene, anthracene, fluoranthene and benzo[a]pyrene in ethyl lactate/water and ethanol/water mixtures were measured using equilibrium techniques. The cosolvency powers derived from solubility data were then applied to the model...

With the higher rotational speeds and loads in bearings, gaseous cavitation becomes more cannot be ignorable bearing designs. However, there is no enough research non-equilibrium model. This paper builds a new model based on Bunsen solubility bubble dynamics. The equilibrium pressure calculated by local its difference with decides mass transfer rate this for cavitation. A titling-pad journal at...

A quasi-equilibrium mass transport analysis has been developed to quantitatively explain the solubility-permeability interplay that exists when using cyclodextrins as pharmaceutical solubilizers. The model considers the effects of cyclodextrins on the membrane permeability (P(m)) as well as the unstirred water layer (UWL) permeability (P(aq)), to predict the overall effective permeability (P(ef...

It is a truism that ere a tissue or cell can stain in a dye the dye and the elements which stain must first be brought into physical contact. The importance of the solubility of the dye in various tissue elements is evident in this connection and has been especially insisted upon by Witt,’ Georgievic? and A. Fischer.3 Nevertheless as regards the normal protein constituents of cellsaand tissues ...

A simple method for the rigorous derivation of lithogenic index or percent cholesterol saturation, embodying both relative and total lipid concentrations, is described. We recently demonstrated that under physiological conditions only two key physical-chemical variables, the bile salt-lecithin ratio and the total lipid (bile salts + lecithin + cholesterol) concentration determine the equilibriu...
