Removal of fly ash using wet scrubbers is widely used in the small and medium scale industries. Among the wet scrubbing methods, spray column falls into the simplest type category for its simple construction and various advantages. A novel pilot plant wet scrubber has been conceived, designed and fabricated. This paper distinctly focuses on the detailed design and fabrication of the ejector, wh...

Wet friction clutches have become widely used in today’s transmissions, e.g. automatic transmissions, dual clutch transmissions, etc. It is known that the central role of this particular component is strongly determined by its friction characteristics. While a clutch is in use, degradation inevitably takes place that consequently deteriorates its friction characteristics. However, to the author...

Diamond's medium modified, the commercially available version of the Klaas modification of Diamond's medium, was compared to Kupferberg medium and to direct wet-mount examination for detection of trichomonads in symptomatic patients. Diamond's medium was found to be superior to both Kupferberg medium (P less than 10(-4) and wet mount (P less than 10(-6].

Beef finishing and dairy lactation experiments were conducted to evaluate the nutritional value of distillers grains (DG) from sorghum or corn fermentation, in both wet (35.4% DM) and dry (92.2% DM) form (dairy trial only). In the finishing experiment, 60 yearling steers were used in a completely randomized design with three diets that were fed for 127 d: 1) control diet with 86% (DM basis) dry...

AIM This study evaluates bond strength between dentin and composite using adhesives with different solvents to dry and wet dentin. MATERIALS AND METHODS Ninety bovine incisors were used; the vestibular surfaces were worn by the exposure of an area with a diameter of 4 mm of dentin. The specimens were divided into 6 groups, according to the type of adhesive used and hydratation stals: Group SB...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Radiation induced wet desquamation of skin in carcinoma breast patients is a painful condition. In this study topical beclomethasone dipropionate spray was used as prophylaxis with the purpose of reducing risk of the wet desquamation of skin in irradiated field. MATERIALS AND METHODS Sixty patients of carcinoma breast were planned for postoperative loco regional radiothera...

The principal error source in the GPS technology is a delay experienced by the GPS signal in propagating through the electrically neutral atmosphere, usually referred to as a tropospheric delay. This delay is normally calculated in the zenith direction, and is referred to as a zenith tropospheric delay. The delay consists of a zenith hydrostatic delay, which can be modeled accurately using surf...

According to the current study by Zgherea and colleagues, chronic wet cough, defined as a wet cough that lasts for 4 weeks or more, is easily recognized by parents and pediatricians. Also, it is a major debilitating finding in children with pulmonary disorders such as cystic fibrosis or ciliary dyskinesia and immunodeficiency disorders. However, the diagnosis of chronic bronchitis is not easily...

The function of creatine kinase (CK) and its effect on phosphorus metabolites was studied in livers of transgenic mice expressing human ubiquitous mitochondrial CK (CK-Mit) and rat brain CK (CK-B) isoenzymes and their combination. (31)P NMR spectroscopy and saturation transfer were recorded in livers of anesthetized mice to measure high-energy phosphates and hepatic CK activity. CK reaction vel...
