Paclitaxel (Taxol) is a drug that belongs to the class of compounds called Taxane. It is a strong and potent chemotherapeutic drug that inhibits the growth of certain types of cancer cells; however, its abundance is very low, and various types of methodologies have been implemented to extract paclitaxel from the bark of different plants and herbs. The molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) could be the best alternative to purify Read More

Aims: This study aimed to investigate the molecular interactions of dextran as a solute with sodium hydroxide as a solvent. Background: The propagation of ultrasonic waves through solids and liquids offers vital information on the structure of solids and liquids. The molecular interaction in pure liquids and liquid solutions has also been explored using ultrasonic speed estimates. The ultrasonic speed in a fluid provides a cuttin Read More

Background: Wearing is a prominent problem in friction stir welding. The material flow stress equation is a key factor that decides the accuracy of the simulation of the wearing process. Objective: We aim to propose a material flow stress equation based on material true stress and true strain curve, which takes proper factors into account and leads to good accuracy in numerical simulation of stir tool wear. Methods: The value Read More
