The ability of β-cyclodextrin, hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin, polyvinyl pyrrolidone and urea to influence the percutaneous absorption of meloxicam through isolated rat skin was evaluated. Carrier complex were prepared by kneading method in 1:1 and 1:2 in molar ratios for β-cyclodextrin and hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin and in 1:1, 1:3 and 1:5 in weight ratios for polyvinyl pyrrolidone and urea. T...

bovine oocytes matured in culture were denuded from cumulus cells with hyaluronidase and by repeat pipetting trough a fine pasture pipete and were inseminated with frozen-thawed spermatozoa in a protein-free bo medium containing 5m m-caffeine, l0 mg heparin/ml and with or without polyvinyl pyrrolidone (pvp) and different concentrations of hyaluronic acid. when oocytes were inseminated in the ab...

Investigations of the effect of the excitation light wavelength on the intensity distribution in the fluorescence band of l,4-diphenyl-l,3-butadiene (DPB) in polyvinyl alcohol) films (PVA) at 296 and 87 K for samples before and after heating to 423 K, and fluorescence lifetime measurements have shown that trans-trans and cis-trans conformers are responsible for the emission of fluorescence. The...

A novel nanocomposite polyvinyl alcohol precursor-based material dispersed with the web of carbon microfibers and carbon nanofibers is developed as lithium (Li)-ion electrolyte battery separator. The primary synthesis steps of the separator material consist of esterification of polyvinyl acetate to produce polyvinyl alcohol gel, ball-milling of the surfactant dispersed carbon micro-nanofibers, ...

Recently, polyanion precipitation assays for low-density lipoprotein (LDL)-cholesterol have been found to underestimate their analyte in normolipidemic samples (Siekmeier et al., Clin Chim Acta 1988;177:221-30). Therefore, accuracy, specificity, and interference by nonesterified fatty acids have been studied for three precipitants (obtained by heparin, dextran sulfate, or polyvinyl sulfate prec...

Polyvinyl alcohol and calcium oxide composites appeared by casting technique. The calcium oxide added to polyvinyl alcohol with different weight percentages are (0,1,2 and 3) wt.%. Results showed that the absorbance increases with increase the weight percentage of calcium oxide. The absorption coefficient, extinction coefficient, refractive index and real and imaginary parts of dielectric const...
