pH, SOIL ACIDITY, AND PLANT GROWTH pH, Soil Acidity, and Plant Growth
The reason for these questions lies in the fact that the pH, or degree of acidity of the soil, often is a symptom of some disorder in the chemical condition of the soil as it relates to plant nutrition. A measurement of soil acidity or alkalinity is like a doctor's measurement of a patient's temperature. It reveals that something naay be wrong but it does not tell the exact nature of the troubl...
متن کاملAn evaluation of kits for measuring thyrotropin in newborns.
Several commercial radioimmunoassay kits are now marketed specifically for determination of thyrotropin (TSH) from whole-blood specimens collected on filter paper in neonatal screening programs. We have compared five kits in use in such screening programs in the United States. The reagent kits from Becton Dickinson, Neometrics, and Nuclear Medical Systems gave similar satisfactory results. That...
متن کاملWhich Ph Paper?! No
In anaesthetic practice it is occasionally necessary to make a rapid and accurate measurement of the pH of the gastric contents. A simple and convenient method is to use paper impregnated with a suitable indicator, the change in colour being read against a comparison chart provided with the paper. The purpose of this study was to compare the accuracy of interpretation of five different indicato...
متن کاملTitratable acidity of beverages influences salivary pH recovery.
A low pH and a high titratable acidity of juices and cola-based beverages are relevant factors that contribute to dental erosion, but the relative importance of these properties to maintain salivary pH at demineralizing levels for long periods of time after drinking is unknown. In this crossover study conducted in vivo, orange juice, a cola-based soft drink, and a 10% sucrose solution (negative...
متن کاملMathematical modelling of tumour acidity: regulation of intracellular pH.
Measurements of extracellular pH (pHe) in vivo have shown that the microenvironment in tumours is more acidic than in normal tissue. However, both human and animal tumour cells have been shown to have an intracellular pH (pHi) on the alkaline side of neutrality (pH 7.1-7.2). This gives rise to a reversed pH gradient between tumours and normal tissue which implies that cells within solid tumours...
