Lack of influence of phytochrome on membrane permeability to tritiated water.

Experimental design applied to fabrication of PSF membranes via NIP's method Part2:Influential parameters on pure water permeability and selection criteria for optimum membrane in MF process

Evaluation of Relative Membrane Permeability of Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) Affected Super Absorbent Polymer and Water Deficit Conditions

Sorghum is among the most important forages used in arid and semi-arid regions of south-eastern Iran. Application of some materials such as super absorbent polymer (SAP) in soil can increase soil water storage capacity and increase water use efficiency. The aim of the study was to estimate the relative membrane permeability of sorghum under irrigation regimes and superabsorbent polymer applicat...

Effect of acute tritiated water (HTO) exposure on Maze learning in adult Swiss albino mice

Background: Brain is the most important organ as it controls and co- ordinates all the activities of our body. Reports on neuroethological investigations in mice particularly associated with learning and memory after radiation exposure are very scanty. Hence, present investigation is an attempt to examine the effects of low dose tritiated water (HTO) acute exposure on adult Swiss albino mice in...

Permeability of the rectosigmoid mucosa to tritiated water in normal subjects and in patients with mild idiopathic ulcerative colitis 1 RUVEN LEVITAN AND SIMCHA BRUDNO

It is well known that one severely disabling manifestation of ulcerative colitis is diarrhoea, and among the mechanisms suggested to account for it in this condition has been a derangement of absorption across the colonic mucosa. Previous studies utilizing other substances than water have failed to demonstrate deranged absorption from the inflamed rectosigmoid of patients with idiopathic ulcera...

Preparation and characterization of nano-porous Polyacrylonitrile (PAN) membranes with hydrophilic surface

Polyacrylonitrile (PAN) membranes with nano-porous surface and high hydrophilicity were fabricated by addition of polyoxyethylene (40) nonylphenyl ether (IGEPAL) as an additive in the casting solution. The membranes were prepared from PAN/IGEPAL/1-Methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) via phase inversion induced by immersion precipitation technique. Pure water was used as coagulation medium. The effects o...
