Saliva crystallization was previously studied in both humans and animals with various results. The study aimed to confirm of the presence of saliva crystallization in female Bornean orangutans (Pongo pygmaeus), to evaluate the quality of samples which were collected from animals and processed by keepers, and to test preliminarily if the saliva crystallization could be connected with menstrual c...

UNLABELLED This article reports on the impact of shear on crystallization upon cooling of palm oil. Samples were cooled down under shear from 70 to 10 degrees C, then kept at this temperature, while performing rheological measurements using a controlled shear rate rheometer and rheo-optical observations using optical microscopy and small-angle light scattering. Shear rates between 1 and 300 s(-...

The crystallization behaviors of two copolymers of PVDF were studied, and the effect of copolymerized chains on the crystallization behavior was investigated. The results indicated that both copolymers had a lowered crystallization temperature and crystallinity. The crystallization rate was improved by the copolymer with symmetrical units in PVDF chains, but hindered by asymmetrical units, comp...

X-ray crystallography is the predominant method for obtaining atomic-scale information about biological macromolecules. Despite the success of the technique, obtaining well diffracting crystals still critically limits going from protein to structure. In practice, the crystallization process proceeds through knowledge-informed empiricism. Better physico-chemical understanding remains elusive bec...

In this work, hybrid atomistic-macroscale simulation is conducted to explore the crystallization and amorphization of Si surface in the situation of fast melting and solidification induced by ultrafast laser heating and heat conduction. Our work is focused on investigating the relationship between the amorphization threshold (Ec) and the laser pulse width (tg). An empirical correlation Ec 1⁄4 4...

In many technical applications crystallization proceeds in the presence of stresses and flows, hence the importance to understand the crystallization mechanism in simple situations. We employ molecular dynamics simulations to study the crystallization kinetics of a nearly hard sphere liquid that is weakly sheared. We demonstrate that shear flow both enhances and suppresses the crystallization k...

The cooling crystallization of carbapenem CS-023 was performed at 25 °C in an aqueous solution. Tetrahydrate crystals (form H) were obtained. Hydrate are promising drugs, but there has been problems manufacturing such crystals. During crystallization, a dissolution process high temperature 70 utilized. main problem that the degradation rate high, as expressed half-life period 2.97 h. Poor solve...

The characterization of the crystallization kinetics of an amorphous soft magnetic alloy, Fe88Zr7B4Cu1, called NANOPERM, is presented. Vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM), X-ray diffractometry, and differential scanning calorimetry have been used to observe crystallization kinetics. The VSM observations take advantage of the Curie temperature of the amorphous phase c amorphous of the NANOPERM a...

salt crystallization is one of the most important weathering agents and may limit the durability of building stones. salt crystallization induces stresses inside the pores of stones. consequently, stone durability is closely related to its physical properties and strength. the purpose of this study was to propose a statistical model for estimating stone durability against salt crystallization c...
