The information provided on package inserts and inner wrapping of eight products containing Panax ginseng from different manufacturers was compared internally and checked against data from the scientific literature. The inserts included extensive text, containing abundant information on indications for use, but no scientific evidence in humans. All the inserts lacked information on potential adverse effects and drug interaction. There was no standardization as to dose regimens, particularly in relation to the dried extract and ginsenoside concentration. The eight inserts thus showed no concern over standardization, indication for usage, or possible side effects and drug interactions.

Magnetic polyimide (PI) nanosheet strings were prepared by wrapping PI nanosheets around the γ-FeO nanowires. The γ-FeO/PIs composite was successfully used for magnetic solid-phase extraction (MSPE) of anabolic androgenic steroids (AASs). The γ-FeO/PIs composite possessed adequate saturation magnetic strength (8.

Hypothesis: Generating multi-layer cargo using conventional methods is challenging. We hypothesize that incorporating a Y-junction compound droplet generator to encase a target core inside a second liquid can circumvent the kinetic energy dependence of the impact-driven liquid-liquid encapsulation technique, enabling minimally restrictive multi-layer encapsulation.
Experiments: Stable wrapping is obtained by impinging a compound droplet (generated using Y-junction) on an interfacial layer of another shell-forming liquid floating on a host liquid bath, leading to double-layered encapsulation.

The "memory effect" of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxin and dibenzofurans (PCDD/Fs) in wet scrubber (WS) has become a frequent negative phenomenon in waste incineration field. This work focuses on studying the major influence factors and pathways of memory effect of PCDD/Fs in WS from the aspects of PCDD/F carriers and operating conditions. The PCDD/F contents of fillings used for over three years is 0.

Elastic yarns are the key component of high-performance compression garments. However, it remains a challenge to fabricate anti-fatigue yarns with high mechanical force and long elongation for generating compression garments with prolonged wear. In this paper, we report the development of anti-fatigue double-wrapped yarns with excellent mechanical properties by wrapping high-denier Spandex with nylon filaments in opposite twists.

In recent years, attention to the realization and characterization of wetsuits for scuba diving and other sea sports or activities has increased. The research has aimed to establish reliable and standardized measurement methods to objectively assess wetsuit quality, particularly focusing on their mechanical and thermal properties. In this work, we describe and compare two different measurement methods for the characterization of neoprene wetsuit thermal resistivity.
