Separation of aromatic/non-aromatic mixtures by membrane based pervaportion process is usually analyzed by the solution-diffusion model which assumes that a permeating component is first dissolved in the membrane and then diffuses through the membrane due to its driving force. Therefore, the separate evaluation of sorption equilibria is necessary in order to determine the controlling step in ov...

The carcinogen-induced rat mammary carcinoma model, developed a quarter of a century ago by Dr. Charles Brenton Huggins, is today the standard laboratory animal model in the study of human breast cancer. This model has a number of features that make it particularly attractive to the experimental oncologist, e.g., tumor induction ease and reliability, organ site specificity, tumors of ductal ori...

the effects of some synthetic sweeteners on the rheological and physical properties of guar gum in dilute solutions were investigated.measurements include the determination of intrinsic viscosity and the particle size, surface weighted mean [d3, 2], volume weighted mean [d4,3] and specificsurface area ofguar gum andsyntheticsweeteners mixtures. the concentration of these sweeteners were 0, 0.1,...

Until the middle of the 20th century, little knowledge of the behaviour of prostate cancer existed and awareness of its exquisite sensitivity to hormones had not been realised. The conventional understanding was that prostate cancer was an autonomous, self-perpetuating, and fatal malignant disease, the progression of which could not be changed by external manipulation. In 1941, Charles Brenton ...
