In the synthesis of dexamethasone acetate from tigogenin, the introduction of the 17α-hydroxy-16α-methyl and the 1,4-diene moieties was improved. For the introduction of the 17α-hydroxy-16α-methyl moiety, the key step, epoxidation, was accomplished in high yield with peracetic acid in a buffer solution of sodium aceta…

We have investigated the effect of a metal coating—copper—on the tetragonal structure of fine barium titanate (BaTiO 3 ) particles. The BaTiO 3 particles were synthesized by a sol‐gel method and heat treated at temperatures >900°C for various amounts of time before coating. The copper coating was achieved by an ele…

This paper is concerned with the application of a modification process to cotton friction spun singles yarns. The experimental results show that the yarn modification process can effectively reduce or eliminate residual torque in dref-III singles yarns as well as fabric spirality in plain knitted structures. The prope…

The kinetic behavior of NO reduction by CO over a Pt/Al 2 O 3 catalyst has been investigated in the temperature range of 465−520 K. The NO + CO reaction exhibits isothermal steady-state multiplicity. A high-conversion steady state was obtained starting with a net oxidizing feed composition ([NO] 0 > [CO] 0 ), and a lo…

PURPOSE: Previous observations in rats caused us to speculate whether the injection of iotrolan, a nonionic dimeric contrast medium (CM), would increase urine viscosity enough to obstruct urine outflow in the collecting duct. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The urine viscosity in dogs was measured directly with a viscosimeter a…

Transverse magnetoresistance for paramagnetic ${\mathrm{Mn}}_{x}{\mathrm{TiS}}_{2}$ $(0.02<~x<~0.25)$ crystals has been measured at three fixed temperatures 77, 4.2, and 1.8 K at fields up to 31 T using a compact home-made pulsed magnet. We have found a large negative magnetoresistance $\ensuremath{\Delta}\ensur…

Integral skin foams consist of a cellular core and a near solid skin of the same material surrounding the core. A study of the effect of mica on the flexural properties of free rise and integral skin polyurethane foams is presented. Addition of a small amount of mica (5% v/v) is found to significantly increase the fle…

To evaluate the serviceability of a new textile product made of an unconventional fiber blend, it is important to determine if the fabric meets the specific standards required for the intended end-use. The value-added textile products of interest are fabrics made of 50/50 kenaf/cotton in the filling direction and 100%…

Shape memory alloys (SMA) show a high ratio of work capacity per material volume. This makes the application of SMA especially useful in micron-sized systems. The development of robotic grippers is one important prerequisite for the successful automation of the assembly of micro systems. Therefore the SMA may also pla…
