Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process comprising the steps of a) contacting an aqueous dispersion of a TiO2 slurry containing adsorbing dispersant with an adsorbing latex to form a mixture, wherein the pH of the mixture of the TiO2 slurry and adsorbing latex are sufficiently high to inhibit interaction between the TiO2 and the adsorbing latex; then b) lowering the pH of the mixture of step a) sufficiently to promote interaction between the TiO2 and the adsorbing latex, thereby forming a composite. The process of the present invention provides for improved hiding and reduced grit for coatings compositions.
Abstract:
A new paper composition comprising, a) from 15 wt. % to 70 wt. % a hiding composite comprising based on the total weight of the hiding composite, from 30 wt. % to 75 wt. % pigment particles and from 25 wt. % to 70 wt. % a thermoplastic polymer. The pigment particles are hydrophobically treated with the surface tension of the pigment particles being from 0.1 to 50 mN/m, and the surface tension difference between the pigment particles and the thermoplastic polymer being less than 40 mN/m; and b) from 30 wt. % to 85 wt. % a paper pulp. Process of making such a new paper composition.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a coating composition, especially, relates to an aqueous coating composition with improved liquid stain repellency, it has a fraction of critical pigment volume concentration of from 35% to 110%, and comprises (i) pigment composition, including 15 wt. %-100 wt. %, in percentage by weight based on the dry weight of the pigment composition, polymer-encapsulated pigment; and 0-85 wt. %, in percentage by weight based on the dry weight of the pigment composition, un-encapsulated pigment; and (ii) 0.01 wt. %-5 wt. %, in percentage by dry weight based on the wet weight of the aqueous coating composition, at least one paraffin wax emulsion.

Abstract:
A novel SH-SAW biosensor capable of non-invasive and touch-free detection of cancer cell viability and growth or proliferation in two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) cell cultures as well as stem cell regeneration as it pertains to cancer cell biology and anti-cancer drug development is presented. The biosensor includes two pairs of resonators including interdigital transducers reflecting fingers to quantify mass loading by the cells in suspension as well as within a tumoroid culture platform. The biosensor can be part of a perfused 3PNS-tumoroid system that is amenable to real-time non-invasive monitoring of the cell proliferation, viability, and multiplexed detection of key physiologic and clinical biomarkers.

Abstract:
Event audio data that is based on verbal utterances associated with a pharmaceutical event associated with a patient may be received. Medical history information associated with the patient may be obtained, based on information included in a medical history repository. At least one text string that matches at least one interpretation of the event audio data may be obtained, based on information included in a pharmaceutical speech repository, information included in a speech accent repository, and a drug matching function, the at least one text string being associated with a pharmaceutical drug. One or more adverse drug event (ADE) alerts may be determined based on matching the at least one text string and medical history attributes associated with the at least one patient with ADE attributes obtained from an ADE repository. An ADE alert report may be generated, based on the determined one or more ADE alerts.
