The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of ultrasound treatment on the protein content and rheological properties of soymilk extracted from soybeans. Soybean slurry was exposed to ultrasound treatment then filtered. In this work, an ultrasound cleaning bath set with 35 kHz frequency and different treatment temperatures (20 and 40oC) and times (20, 40, and 60 min) was used. Results...

Mixed-addenda vanadium substituted polyoxometalate supported on anatase TiO2 crushed nano leaf was synthesized by an unusual reaction with titanium tetraisopropoxide at 100 ºC via sol–gel method under oil-bath condition. The materials characterized by XRD, TEM,  IR and UV–vis  techniques.  In  the  present  work,  efficient  oxidative  of  thiols  with  polyoxometalate-TiO2/hydrogen  peroxide  ...

Thermal ablation by High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) is the only technique for noninvasive treatment of tumours, but suffers from a long treatment times and varied treatment outcomes. Knowledge of the nonlinear parameter B/A can resolve these by improving treatment planning, and correlation between enhanced nonlinear signals and the presence of HIFU lesions has the potential to monitor ...

The present work explores the best conditions for the enzymatic synthesis of poly (ethylene glutarate) for the first time. The start-up materials are the liquids; diethyl glutarate and ethylene glycol diacetate, without the need of addition of extra solvent. The reactions are catalyzed by lipase B from Candida antarctica immobilized on glycidyl methacrylate-ter-divinylbenzene-ter-ethylene glyco...

This paper presents a system for acquiring three dimensional ultrasound data and extracting surfaces of the examined structures. The acquisition is performed freehand with a PC-based two-dimensional ultrasound machine and an optical tracker. The extraction of surfaces from ultrasound data is normally inhibited by speckle, shadowing and gaps in the acquired data. A new method is developed that e...

We have demonstrated ultrasound-induced organogels based on twin-tapered dihydrazide derivatives, oxalyl acid N,N-di(3,4,5-trialkoxybenzoyl)hydrazide (FH-Tn). Ultrasound irradiation has been proved to influence gel properties at micro-levels. Different self-assembled structures from entangled fibers to tube-like structures and nanoparticles can be easily manipulated by tuning irradiation time a...

BACKGROUND Conclusive evidence indicating an effective treatment for carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), a common entrapment neuropathy, is lacking. Ultrasound therapy (US therapy) has long been used as one of the combination treatments for CTS. In addition, paraffin bath therapy has been applied widely as a physical modality in treating patients with hand conditions. The purpose of this randomized t...

This work aimed to investigate the optimum conditions of pressure, temperature, ultrasound intensity, solvent concentration and flowrate ultrasound-assisted pressurized liquid extraction anthocyanins from Aronia melanocarpa pomace. The novel setup operates with an aqueous solution citric acid as solvent. optimization was performed in order maximize total content extracted optimized 70 °C, 180 b...

Osteoporosis is a worldwide disease depicted by the reduced bone mass, an adequate supply of minerals needed to support remodeling, and their deficiency causes bone-related diseases, osteoporosis in particular, has osteoprotective effects. The aim this recent research was quantify micro- (Mn, Fe, Cu, Zn) macroelements (Mg, K, Ca) peel powder some common fruits (pomegranate, orange, lemon, mango...
