The tensile strength of the blend PP/PVC (40/60) increases gradually with a rising addition of nano-montmorillonite. When the content of nano-montmorillonite is 5 parts per hundreds of resin, the tensile strength of the blend reaches a maximum value and increases by 22% compared to the pure PP/PVC blend.

Heteronuclear-shift-correlation spectra, which are usually presented in the absolute-value mode, normally contain long dispersive tails that are suppressed by applying a Gaussian or sine-bell function in the F domain. In the El dimension, the choice of a weighting function is less critical. If a better signal-to-noise ratio is wanted, then an exponential broadening multiplication may be employed. If better resolution is needed, then a resolution-enhancing function can be used. 

Matched filter The multiplication of the free induction decay with a sensitivity enhancement function that matches exactly the decay of the raw signal. This results in enhancement of resolution, but broadens the Lorentzian line by a factor of 2 and a Gaussian line by a factor of 2.5. 

In rodent stroke models, statin pretreatment has been shown to reduce infarct volumes and improve outcomes. Similarly, several clinical studies have shown that prior statin use reduced the severity of acute ischemic stroke and myocardial infarction. Recent studies indicate that beneftt can be achieved even when treatment is initiated after the onset of symptoms. In rodents, atorvastatin and simvastatin have been shown to reduce the growth of ischemic lesions, enhance functional outcome, and induce brain plasticity when administered after stroke onset. A retrospective analysis of the population-based Northern Manhattan Stroke Study (NOMASS) showed that patients using lipid-lowering agents at the time of ischemic stroke have a lower incidence of in-hospital stroke progression and reduced 90-day mortality rates. Retrospective analysis of data of the phase III citicoline trial showed...

There has been a great deal of interest in the use of colony-stimulating factors to treat MDS. GM-CSF and G-CSF, which have been used in clinical trials, offer a potential dual benefit. Firstly, they can affect neutrophil development in the bone marrow, and so can improve the neutropenia that is associated with these disorders. Secondly, they have the potential to increase or repair the function of circulating neutrophils. Indeed, there are some reports to indicate that these CSFs can result in enhanced function of peripheral blood neutrophils in these patients. Most patients show improvements in neutrophil counts after GM-CSF or G-CSF administration. In some cases, this has been associated with a decrease in the number of infective episodes.

One of the more spectacular examples of the development of novel interactions for nanostructuring of food systems is the self-assembly of partially hydrolysed molecules of a-lactalbumin at neutral pH in the presence of appropriate cations (Ca2+, Mn2+, Zn2+, Cu2+ or Al3+). These ordered nanostructures possess enhanced functionality for thickening, gelation and encapsulation, as compared to the individual protein molecules or their disordered aggregates. The molecules assemble into rather stiff nanotubes with a cavity diameter of 16 nm and a length of a few micrometres (Figure 1.1). The specific ion size and its preferred ligand coordination number seem to play a key mechanistic role. But hydrolysis is needed to make the a-lactalbumin prone to self-assembly.
