Optimizing sterile filtration of nanoemulsions through proper choice of prefilter properties

open access: yesBiotechnology Progress, EarlyView.
Abstract Nanoemulsions, with droplet sizes between 20 and 200 nm, have emerged as a promising vaccine adjuvant and drug delivery system, enhancing the solubility of hydrophobic drugs for diverse applications. Sterile filtration of nanoemulsions is particularly challenging due to the similar size between the nanodroplets and the 0.2 μm nominal pore size

HABITAT UTILIZATION BY THE TEXAS HORNED LIZARD (PHRYNOSOMA CORNUTUM) FROM TWO SITES IN CENTRAL TEXAS [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The Texas Horned Lizard (Phrynosoma cornutum) is found in a variety of habitats. Although several studies have been conducted on habitat use by this species, none have been performed in central Texas, a more mesic habitat than most of those previously ...

Biodegradable HPMC–chitosan film for moisture retention and quality preservation in fresh‐cut mango

open access: yesJournal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Replacing conventional plastics with biodegradable solutions that control moisture loss in fresh‐cut produce is a strategic need. This study developed hydroxypropylmethylcellulose (HPMC) and chitosan (CS) films plasticised with glycerol (Gly) and evaluated their use as sealing lids for fresh‐cut mango. RESULTS The selected monolayer

Soil crusting in Western Samoa. Part II - Experimental investigation of factors influencing crust formation [PDF]

open access: yes, 1971
The Alafua Penetrometer was used to measure relative differences in soil crust strength. Crust strength and thickness were shown to increase with increases in rainfall amount, drying time, droplet size, kinetic energy and soil clay and silt content.
