Jojoba oil is an important ingredient of many cosmetic and hair care products, which is composed by high-molecular weight monounsaturated esters. It is a liquid wax extracted from the seeds of Jojoba plant (Simmondsia ...

Abstract. Capillary rise plays a crucial role in the construction of road embankments in flood zones, where hydrophobic compounds are added to the soil to suppress the rising of water and avoid possible damage of the ...

An experiment was implemented to study fluid flow in a pressure media. This procedure successfully combines nuclear magnetic resonance imaging with a pressure membrane chamber in order to visualize the non-wetting and ...

Nuclei colliding at energies in the MeV's break into fragments in a process that resembles a liquid-to-gas phase transition of the excited nuclear matter. If this is the case, phase changes occurring near the critical point ...

The study consisted in evaluating the treatment of septic tanks sludge in vertical-flow constructed wetland (VFCW), using a full-scale unit and two columns on a pilot scale. The full-scale units were built according to the ...

The glass transition temperature of trehalose, sucrose, glucose, and fructose aqueous solutions has been predicted as a function of the water content by using the free volume/percolation model (FVPM). This model only ...
