Tensides (surfactants), which facilitate indoor dust absorption in a watery airway mucus blanket (Butte and Heinzow 2002), were assessed with a detergent test kit (Dr. Lange GmbH, Dusseldorf, Germany) employing sodium dodecylsulfate (anionic surfactants), Triton X-100 (non-ionic surfactants), and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (cationic surfactants) as calibrators.
Yet there had to have been enough dust to facilitate the birthing and proliferation of galaxies that began not long after.
The obtained results will facilitate further investigations of dust exposure during wound healing and will ease risk assessment studies e.g., for lunar lander approaches.
A recent initiative sought to improve the terrestrial data coverage within the existing DIRTMAP database by involving representatives from key loess regions in coordinating the data synthesis process, so as to facilitate interaction between the dust modelling and the data collection communities.
Multiwell grooming chambers: blocks of grooming chambers were designed to facilitate the parallel and uniform dusting of flies for dust pattern measurements and recording videos of cleaning behavior.
The lack in the solid carbon (locked solid carbon) in these analogs can be analytically estimated to facilitate the simulation of cosmic carbon dust.
No matter the mechanism, researchers have observed that just as dust storms in the dry season facilitate the transmission of the disease, high-humidity events tamp down and often put an end to epidemics, says Thomson.
Equipment also includes two ceiling-hung dust collector systems, a video camera and a TV monitor to facilitate viewing the master-level instructors' demonstrations.
For example, pyrethroid pesticides have low vapor pressures, and high octanol/water (Kow) and water/organic carbon (Koc) partition coefficients which facilitate partitioning into lipids and organic matter and binding to particulate matter in dust [ 21].
The city of Madrid has high levels of pollution of anthropogenic origin, which are strongly increased those days with Saharan dust intrusions, and its geographical and meteorological conditions that did not facilitate the dispersion of pollutants.
This variable may also reflect exposure to dust or dirt, and it has been hypothesised that ocular trauma could facilitate development of the tumour (Templeton, 1973; Margo and Groden, 1986).
