A transient percutaneous drug absorption model was solved in two dimensions. Clearance of the topically-applied pharmaceutical occured at the skin-capillary boundary. Timolol penetration profiles in the dermal tissue were ...

Nowadays, the use of phase change materials (PCMs) represents a novel technique employed for retrofitting facades in existing buildings, mainly to fulfil temperature comfort and building energy efficiency requirements. The ...

The performance of modular home made capillary electrophoresis equipment with spectrophotometric detection, at a visible region by means of a miniaturized linear charge coupled device, was evaluated for the determination ...

Darunavir (DRV) is a protease inhibitor used in the treatment of HIV infection, which constitutes a keystone in the therapy of patients infected with this virus. There is no monograph described in official compendia. The ...

This paper proposes a mesoscale approach for simulating moisture transport by capillary action in partly-saturated porous cementitious composites. The modeling approach explicitly accounts for moisture transport through a ...

In this study, a background electrolyte capable to separate and quantify inorganic cations in high ionic strength samples by UV-absorption indirect detection was designed. In this regard, the four most abundant monovalent ...

The moisture degree of capillary rise is an indicator of the state of conservation of earthen construction and their mechanical response to load cases, especially seismic action, since the buildings diminish resistant ...

The durability of concrete structures is the result of protective action of concrete over the rebar. When the passivation of steel ceases to exist the structure becomes vulnerable to the phenomenon of corrosion, which ...
