Poloxamer 407, also known by the trademark Pluronic® F127, is a water-soluble, non-ionic triblock copolymer that is made up of a hydrophobic residue of Hair Oil Mist polyoxypropylene (POP) between the two hydrophilic units of polyoxyethylene (POE).Poloxamer 407-based hydrogels exhibit an interesting reversible thermal characteristic.That is, th
Objective: Dichotomizing clinical trials designs into nomothetic (e.g., randomized clinical trials or RCTs) versus idiographic (e.g., N-of-1 or case studies) precludes use of an array of hybrid designs and potential research questions between these extremes.This paper describes unique clinical evidence that can be garnered using idiographic clinica
Ethanol has significant potential for the reduction of fuel consumption and the emissions of engines.In this paper, a dual-fuel combined engine test rig with ethanol injected in the intake port and gasoline injected directly into the cylinder are developed and the effects of ethanol/gasoline ratio (Re) on the combustion and emission of particle num
Considering th e morphology, diet and spatial distribution of Satanoperca pappaterra and Crenicichla britskii (Perciformes: Cichlidae) in Boys Hoodies the Upper Paraná River floodplain (Brazil), the following questions were investigated: (1) Could the body shape predict the use of trophic resources and habitat by C.britskii and S.pappaterra? (
