We have received a large number of samples of drugs and preparations from the well-known Manufacturing Chemist, Mr. \V. Martindale, of New Cavendish Street, W. Among these the following articles are worthy of being brought to the notice of the profession in India, &?()?, COMPRESSED MOSS. This forms a most absorbent^ surgical dressing, absorbing, it is said, twenty times its own weight of moistu...

I describe a method to measure blood coagulation properties, based on the hypothesis that the distance the serum component of a clotted plasma sample moves through a suitable absorbent material should be proportional to the blood's ability to clot. A simple apparatus was constructed to test this principle, in which an absorbent strip contacts clotted plasma samples. At various times, the liquid...

This study aimed to experimentally acquire evolution profiles between depth, bulk density, Free Air Space (FAS), air permeability and thermal conductivity in initial composting materials. The impact of two different moisture content, two particle size and two types of bulking agent on these four parameters was also evaluated. Bulk density and thermal conductivity both increased with depth while...

abstract water deficit and consecutive droughts have lead to drought stress in most parts of the world recently. we need prepare a good program to use better available water. different material can be used to increase water use efficiency. super absorbent is one of the materials used around the world. these materials absorb water in the soil so that reserved water is usable by plant in the time...

During the service life of buildings, natural aging and eventual damage of materials due to different chemical, physical, and biological processes can take place. Ageing of the materials is one aspect of the environmental processes and involve different chemical, mechanical and biological reactions of the materials. Bio-deterioration, e.g. mould, decay and insect damage in buildings, is caused ...

BACKGROUND Tracheostomy site infection can cause numerous problems. Absorbent foam dressing may be able to prevent proliferation of infectious microorganisms by absorbing the tracheostomy stoma exudate. This study aimed to compare the efficacy of absorbent foam with gauze dressing for prevention of tracheostomy site infection. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this double-blind randomized clinical tri...

Climate change increases the earliness and effect of spring dry spells. The efforts to reduce their negative effects on tree regeneration include improvement in physical properties soil aimed at an increase water retention availability. Clinoptilolite from group zeolites belongs among such water-absorbent natural materials. article aims assess clinoptilolite admixture a growing medium, along wi...
