Soft absorption

Noise reduction by sound absorption Sound that originates at a source in an enclosed factory space will spread until it reaches the surfaces, where it will either be absorbed or reflected. If the room surfaces are hard (reflective), sound will reverberate, intermittent sounds will be mixed together, and steady sounds will add up. The result may be a relatively noisy space. If room surfaces are soft (absorptive), the space will be less noisy, because the... 

Seek medical attention for further treatment following first aid. If inhaled, remove to fresh air if not effective, apply artificial respiration and oxygen. Inhalation may resuit in injury or death. if skin contact is proionged, cease immersion immediately use soft, absorptive materials to dry affected areas.

The most requested performance properties imparted by finishing treatments for NHMs are hydrophilic, durable hydrophilic, soft, absorptive, suitable combinations, eg, hydrophilic and soft (Husmann, 2007). 

It was found that that in the case of soft beta and X-ray radiation the IPs behave as an ideal gas counter with the 100% absorption efficiency if they are exposed in the middle of exposure range ( 10 to 10 photons/ pixel area) and that the relative uncertainty in measured intensity is determined primarily by the quantum fluctuations of the incident radiation (1). The thermal neutron absorption efficiency of the present available Gd doped IP-Neutron Detectors (IP-NDs) was found to be 53% and 69%, depending on the thicknes of the doped phosphor layer ( 85pm and 135 pm respectively). No substantial deviation in the IP response with the spatial variation over the surface of the IP was found, when irradiated by the homogeneous field of X-rays or neutrons and deviations were dominated by the incident radiation statistics (1). 

Soft-wheat flours are sold for general family use, as biscuit or cake flours, and for the commercial production of crackers, pretzels, cakes, cookies, and pastry. The protein in soft wheat flour mns from 7 to 10%. There are differences in appearance, texture, and absorption capacity between hard- and soft-wheat flour subjected to the same milling procedures. Hard-wheat flour falls into separate particles if shaken in the hand whereas, soft-wheat flour tends to clump and hold its shape if pressed together. Hard-wheat flour feels slightly coarse and granular when mbbed between the fingers soft-wheat flour feels soft and smooth. Hard-wheat flour absorbs more Hquid than does soft-wheat flour. Consequently, many recipes recommend a variable measure of either flour or Hquid to achieve a desired consistency. 

Comfort. In the past, the evaluation of fabric or garment comfort has been a subjective process influenced by such variables as temperature, insulating efficiency, moisture absorption, drying speed, softness, bulk, fabric constmction, and air permeability. Human factors must also be considered. 

Wool belongs to a family of proteins, the keratins, that also includes hair and other types of animal protective tissues such as horn, nails, feathers, and the outer skin layers. The relative importance of wool as a textile fiber has declined over the decades as synthetic fibers have increa singly been used in textile consumption. Wool is still an important fiber in the middle and upper price ranges of the textile market. It is also an extremely important export for several nations, notably AustraUa, New Zealand, South Africa, and Argentina and commands a price premium over most other fibers because of its outstanding natural properties of soft handle (the feel of the fabric), moisture absorption abiUties (and hence comfort), and superior drape (the way the fabric hangs) (see Fibers Textiles). Table 2 shows wool production and sheep numbers in the world s principal wool-producing countries. 

Resilient Diners. Resilient liners reduce the impact of the hard denture bases on soft oral tissues. They are designed to absorb some of the energy produced by masticatory forces that would otherwise be transmitted through the denture to the soft basal tissue. The liners should adhere to but not impair the denture base. Other critical properties include total recovery from deformation, retention of mechanical properties, good wettability, minimal absorption of... 

The MCD spectra of furan and pyrrole are similar and quite different to those of the foregoing heterocycles. Both are soft chromophores and give rise to negative absorptions.

The absorption, distribution, and accumulation of lead in the human body may be represented by a three-part model (6). The first part consists of red blood cells, which move the lead to the other two parts, soft tissue and bone. The blood cells and soft tissue, represented by the liver and kidney, constitute the mobile part of the lead body burden, which can fluctuate depending on the length of exposure to the pollutant. Lead accumulation over a long period of time occurs in the bones, which store up to 95% of the total body burden. However, the lead in soft tissue represents a potentially greater toxicological hazard and is the more important component of the lead body burden. Lead measured in the urine has been found to be a good index of the amount of mobile lead in the body. The majority of lead is eliminated from the body in the urine and feces, with smaller amounts removed by sweat, hair, and nails.

Our studies of the absorption, permeation, and extraction properties of containers produced from high nitrile barrier resins have demonstrated that they meet or surpass the basic criteria established for retention of taste and odor characteristics of carbonated soft drinks. Sensory tests, which can isolate and identify end results as well as integrate collective effects, have confirmed this judgement and have established the general compatibility of these containers with a variety of beverage products from a taste and odor standpoint. Furthermore, these materials have the excellent physical properties required for containers which will find wide use in food and beverage packaging.

Hyaluronic acid is a linear polysaccharide found in the highest concentrations in soft connective tissues where it fills an important structural role in the organization of the extracellular matrix (23,24). It has been used in ophthalmic preparations to enhance ocular absorption of timolol, a beta blocker used for the treatment of glaucoma (25), and in a viscoelastic tear formulation for conjunctivitis (26). The covalent binding of adriamycin and daunomycin to sodium hy-aluronate to produce water-soluble conjugates was recently reported (27). 

Soft X-ray absorption measurements are done at low-energy synchrotron X-ray facilities such as the UV ring at NSLS or the Advanced Photon Source (APS) at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL). The beam size is typically 1 mm in diameter. The electron yield data are usually obtained in the total electron yield (EY) mode, measuring the current from a channel electron multiplier (Channeltron). Sometimes a voltage bias is applied to increase surface sensitivity. This is referred to as the partial electron yield (PEY) mode. Huorescence yield (EY) data are recorded using a windowless energy dispersive Si (Li) detector. The experiments are conducted in vacuum at a pressure of 2 X 10 torr. 

The emission spectmm of Co, as recorded with an ideal detector with energy-independent efficiency and constant resolution (line width), is shown in Fig. 3.6b. In addition to the expected three y-lines of Fe at 14.4, 122, and 136 keV, there is also a strong X-ray line at 6.4 keV. This is due to an after-effect of K-capture, arising from electron-hole recombination in the K-shell of the atom. The spontaneous transition of an L-electron filling up the hole in the K-shell yields Fe-X X-radiation. However, in a practical Mossbauer experiment, this and other soft X-rays rarely reach the y-detector because of the strong mass absorption in the Mossbauer sample. On the other hand, the sample itself may also emit substantial X-ray fluorescence (XRF) radiation, resulting from photo absorption of y-rays (not shown here). Another X-ray line is expected to appear in the y-spectrum due to XRF of the carrier material of the source. For rhodium metal, which is commonly used as the source matrix for Co, the corresponding line is found at 22 keV.
