The coagulation of oil in water is potentially cost-effective for removing oil from water. A coagulant consisting of sawdust (79.6% by volume), bentonite (15.8% by volume), and calcium hydroxide (4.7% by volume) gives coagulation efficiency of ≥94% and coagulation time of ≤ 45 s. The resulting coagulated material (a semisolid) floats on water. Its oil (liquid) content, which decreases with a de...

Thermal ablation is well accepted for the treatment of tumors in cases where established therapeutic methods such as surgical resection are either inapplicable or ineffective. However, at present there is a lack of suitable imaging modalities for accurate online monitoring of the coagulation process. The aim of this work is to combine various tissue characterizing ultrasonic parameters in a cla...

As a preliminary to the study of the reversal of the coagulation of hemoglobin several methods are described for the preparation of completely denatured and coagulated hemoglobin and the evidence is given that hemoglobin is a typical coagulable protein.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Fractional photothermolysis produces micro-islands of thermal injury to the skin while preserving areas among treated tissue sites in order to promote wound healing. Histological changes associated with single and multiple passes of the 1540-nm Er:Glass fractional laser were examined using in vivo human skin. METHODS AND MATERIALS Panni of five abdominoplasty patient...

Bayliss, Berenice G. (Washington State University, Pullman), and Elizabeth R. Hall. Plasma coagulation by organisms other than Staphylococcus aureus. J. Bacteriol. 89:101-105. 1965.-Approximately 200 organisms were investigated for their ability to clot human and rabbit plasma. Various anticoagulants were used in preparing the plasma: acid-citrate-dextrose, ethylenediaminetetraacetate, balanced...
