One of the most important things an operator can do for his machinery is to make sure it is properly lubricated. So what is a lubricant and how does it affect operations when used properly? In this webinar we will answer these questions and more by covering the fundamentals of lubrication. During this webinar we will discuss how a lubricant works to remove friction, the physical and chemical properties of the lubricant, and the many functions of a lubricant.
Lubrication is one of the main preventative maintenance activities.
Lubricants have a wide range of properties that impact their physical and chemical properties Knowing about these properties is important in determining which lubricant is best for which situation.
Oil analysis identifies early signs of contamination, fluid degradation and abnormal wear before they cause costly and permanent damage to equipment.
This presentation contains monograde and mutigrade oils, graphical comparison between monograde and multigrade oils about how viscosity changes with temperature.
This presentation will explain the importance of used oil analysis. If you want to cut the cost, don't try to use cheap product but try to extend premium lubricant by monitoring with lubricant analysis.

Overcoming Challenges in Ophthalmic Formulations through Polymer Selection – ...Merck Life Sciences
Ophthalmic drug formulations are growing in importance due to the increased prevalence of eye-related disorders such as diabetic retinopathy and macular degeneration. However, ocular drug delivery is challenging due to unique anatomical and physiological barriers.
The low ocular bioavailability (<10%) of conventional ophthalmic formulations is driving the need for novel approaches to improve the delivery of the desired concentration, at the site of action, at a controlled rate.
This whitepaper provides an overview of polymers that can be used in ophthalmic formulations and highlights the advantages offered using polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) through case studies.

Effective process validation contributes significantly to assuring drug quality. The basic
principle of quality assurance is that a drug should be produced that is fit for its intended use.
This principle incorporates the understanding that the following conditions exist:
• Quality, safety, and efficacy are designed or built into the product.
• Quality cannot be adequately assured merely by in-process and finished-product

Afton Chemical & Scott Miller: The Renaissance in U.S. ManufacturingAfton Chemical
U.S. Manufacturing has faced decline over the past 20+ years, yet is still central to American economic performance in the future
Technological changes have been a driving force for disruption. Now, however, technology is creating avenues for U.S. manufacturers to boost their productivity, agility, and global competitiveness
Capturing these opportunities will require new capabilities from firms as well as coherent government policies that focus on the future instead of trying to re-create the past

White Etching Formation Due to Surface StressAfton Chemical
One of the major causes of premature failures of wind turbine gearing systems is the formation of axial cracks in wind turbine bearings. Increased surface stress results in increased subsurface stress, which in turn leads to a phase change in steel known as white etching areas (WEA). Cracks form in the steel within or at the edge of the WEA and these cracks lead to fatigue damage.
Afton Chemical has conducted research on the causes of white etching formation and the role of lubricants in controlling WEA. Afton observed that lubricants that can control surface stress by forming the proper tribofilm on a surface can control fatigue.

(May 29th, 2024) Advancements in Intravital Microscopy- Insights for Preclini...Scintica Instrumentation
Intravital microscopy (IVM) is a powerful tool utilized to study cellular behavior over time and space in vivo. Much of our understanding of cell biology has been accomplished using various in vitro and ex vivo methods; however, these studies do not necessarily reflect the natural dynamics of biological processes. Unlike traditional cell culture or fixed tissue imaging, IVM allows for the ultra-fast high-resolution imaging of cellular processes over time and space and were studied in its natural environment. Real-time visualization of biological processes in the context of an intact organism helps maintain physiological relevance and provide insights into the progression of disease, response to treatments or developmental processes.
In this webinar we give an overview of advanced applications of the IVM system in preclinical research. IVIM technology is a provider of all-in-one intravital microscopy systems and solutions optimized for in vivo imaging of live animal models at sub-micron resolution. The system’s unique features and user-friendly software enables researchers to probe fast dynamic biological processes such as immune cell tracking, cell-cell interaction as well as vascularization and tumor metastasis with exceptional detail. This webinar will also give an overview of IVM being utilized in drug development, offering a view into the intricate interaction between drugs/nanoparticles and tissues in vivo and allows for the evaluation of therapeutic intervention in a variety of tissues and organs. This interdisciplinary collaboration continues to drive the advancements of novel therapeutic strategies.

Deep Behavioral Phenotyping in Systems Neuroscience for Functional Atlasing a...Ana Luísa Pinho
Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) provides means to characterize brain activations in response to behavior. However, cognitive neuroscience has been limited to group-level effects referring to the performance of specific tasks. To obtain the functional profile of elementary cognitive mechanisms, the combination of brain responses to many tasks is required. Yet, to date, both structural atlases and parcellation-based activations do not fully account for cognitive function and still present several limitations. Further, they do not adapt overall to individual characteristics. In this talk, I will give an account of deep-behavioral phenotyping strategies, namely data-driven methods in large task-fMRI datasets, to optimize functional brain-data collection and improve inference of effects-of-interest related to mental processes. Key to this approach is the employment of fast multi-functional paradigms rich on features that can be well parametrized and, consequently, facilitate the creation of psycho-physiological constructs to be modelled with imaging data. Particular emphasis will be given to music stimuli when studying high-order cognitive mechanisms, due to their ecological nature and quality to enable complex behavior compounded by discrete entities. I will also discuss how deep-behavioral phenotyping and individualized models applied to neuroimaging data can better account for the subject-specific organization of domain-general cognitive systems in the human brain. Finally, the accumulation of functional brain signatures brings the possibility to clarify relationships among tasks and create a univocal link between brain systems and mental functions through: (1) the development of ontologies proposing an organization of cognitive processes; and (2) brain-network taxonomies describing functional specialization. To this end, tools to improve commensurability in cognitive science are necessary, such as public repositories, ontology-based platforms and automated meta-analysis tools. I will thus discuss some brain-atlasing resources currently under development, and their applicability in cognitive as well as clinical neuroscience.
