To compare the benefits of physiological saline solution and artificial cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) as perfusates, we investigated 12 patients with presumed symptomatic aqueductal stenosis by clinical course and CSF analysis. In all patients, endoneurosurgical third ventriculostomy and cine magnetic r …

Artificial cerebrospinal fluid (aCSF) is commonly used when sampling from brain interstitial fluid. This solution closely matches the electrolyte concentrations of CSF. It is prepared from high purity water and analytical grade reagents.

5-APB, commonly marketed as 'benzofury' is a new psychoactive substance and erstwhile 'legal high' which has been implicated in 10 recent drug-related deaths in the UK. This drug was available on the internet and in 'head shops' and was one of the most commonly sold legal highs up until its recent U …

Phase Change Material (PCM) Heat sinks provide significant temporary thermal energy storage in an increasing number of military and commercial applications. ...

What are Phase Change Materials? Thermal Interface Phase Change Materials are used to enhance thermal transfer between a hot component and a thermal solution like a heatsink.  This enables the component to run at a lower temperature whereby increase speed and extending life.  Phase Change Materials are used in the most demanding application across many industry segments.  These include consumer electronics, telecom/datacom, automotive electronics, industrial electronics, medical and military/aerospace. How do Phase Change Materials Work? The first PCMs melted to a liquid state at temperatures between 50C-60C.  This “phase change” allowed the material to wet the mating surfaces, and flow to a minimum bond line to provide the lowest possible thermal resistance, the best performance.  Today most PCMs do not change state (melt) but soften at operating temperatures in the 50C to 70C range whereby providing the same advantages of wetting and minimum bond line but further provide much better long-term reliability (more resistant to pump out) than earlier materials that truly phase change to liquid.   PCMs are generally used in constant pressure application (with some type of spring loaded heatsink).

We have fabricated Pt–Ca nanoparticles with oxygen reduction reaction catalytic activity via a sodium vapor-induced synthesis method. Prior addition of NaCl to form a eutectic mixture of CaCl2 and NaCl facilitated the formation of intermetallic Pt2Ca nanoparticles. Pt3Mg and Pt5Sr nanoparticles also were sug
