Cellulosic paper is thermolabile and its strength properties tend to decrease under high temperature conditions. In this work, the effects of aluminum trihydrate filler on the tensile and burst strength of paper prepared from bleached wood pulps were investigated. The use of aluminum trihydrate maintained the tensile and burst strength of paper sheet dried at 200 °C for 4 hours. Thermogravimetr...

During the autumn, the third-instar larvae of the gall fly Eurosta solidaginis acquire freeze tolerance and their crystallization temperatures increase into the -8 to -10 °C range. Despite conflicting reports, efficient endogenous ice nucleators have not been identified in this freeze-tolerant insect. We found large crystalloid spheres within the Malpighian tubules of overwintering larvae. ...

No Hung0356 A P-XANES Study of Phosphate Sorption to Gibbsite and Calcium Carbonate S. Hunger, K.E. Staats, and D.L. Sparks (U. of Delaware) Beamline: X19A Introduction. Sorption and precipitation reactions of phosphate in soils are of interest as they determine phosphate mobility and bioavailability. Soils, which have continuously received P fertilizers over decades or centuries, can act as no...

An ovoid to rod shaped, white brown pigmented, facultative anaerobic, mesophilic, non-phototrophic, Gram-staining-negative, non-motile, multiply by binary fission designated strain KVB23T, which was isolated from root of rice plant, near Ilsan, South Korea, investigated for its taxonomic position polyphasic approach. Optimal growth found occur at 30˚C, pH 6.5 and in the absence NaCl on R2A. Phy...

A novel, simple, accurate, sensitive, reproducible, economical spectroscopic method was developed and validated for the determination of Azithromycin dihydrate and Cefixime trihydrate in combined dosage form. Second order derivative spectroscopy method is adopted to eliminate spectral interference. The method obeys Beer’s Law in concentration ranges of 10-40 ppm for Cefixime trihydrate and 25-1...

BACKGROUND Paleoparasitology reveals the status of parasitic infections in humans and animals in ancient times based on parasitic particles found in biological remains from archaeological excavations. This line of research emerged in Iran in 2013. OBJECTIVE The identification of parasites from Neolithic times is an attractive subject that shows the oldest origins of parasitic infections in a ...

BACKGROUND It is not uncommon for a person's foot posture and/or mobility to be assessed during a clinical examination. The exact relationship, however, between static posture and mobility is not known. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to determine the degree of association between static foot posture and mobility. METHOD The static foot posture and foot mobility of 203 healthy indiv...
