A comparative chemical study of the blood and the urine of the dog with experimental dehydration and with obstruction of the cardiac end of the stomach is reported. The average duration of life is slightly longer with dehydration than with obstruction. The urine output per kilo of body weight is almost twice as great in dehydration as with obstruction. The increase in non-protein nitrogen and u...

This study assessed the effectiveness of WHO combination treatment regimen in diarrhoea prevention through dehydration management amongst under-five children attending primary health care centres Oyo State, Nigeria. The used a quasi-experimental design consisting pre- and post-test for single group. Sixty people who met inclusion criteria were selected at random throughout admissions process. C...

Abstract Melatonin is known to improve the tolerance of plants adverse abiotic factors (AAF), including dehydration. Nevertheless, details action this phytohormone are not sufficiently comprehended. In current study, effects melatonin on growth, water status, and content malonic dialdehyde were evaluated in etiolated seedlings narrow-leaved lupine ( Lupinus angustifolius L.) subjected The respi...

Specimens to be plastinated are often moist which necessitates the removal of tissue fluid (dehydration) before forced impregnation or plastination can be carried, out. Dehydration removes the specimen fluid (water), as well as, some fat. The tissue fluid is replaced with an organic solvent. To be a dehydrating agent, the solvent must be miscible with water and may consist of a variety of chemi...

The Antarctic midge, Belgica antarctica, is exposed to frequent periods of dehydration during its prolonged larval development in the cold and dry Antarctic environment. In this study, we determined the water requirements of the larvae and the mechanisms it exploits to reduce the stress of drying. Larvae lost water at an exceptionally high rate (>10%/h) and tolerated losing a high portion (>70%...

The use of controlled dehydration for improvement of protein crystal diffraction quality is increasing in popularity, although there are still relatively few documented examples of success. A study has been carried out to establish whether controlled dehydration could be used to improve the anisotropy of crystals of the core protein of the human proteoglycan glypican-1. Crystals were subjected ...

A homogeneous egg white obtained by high-speed shearing and centrifugation was dehydrated into a fragile water-soluble glass (EWG) unidirectional nanopore dehydration (UND). After EWG annealing, it can become an hydrogel membrane (EWHM) that is water-insoluble, flexible, biocompatible, mechanically robust. Its tensile strength, elongation at break, the swelling ratio are about 5.84 MPa, 50–110%...

Amorphous calcium carbonate-phosphate with a Ca/P ratio of 1.83 was precipitated from Ca 2+ , PO 3– 4 CO 2 - 3 − containing solutions at pH 10 and stabilized by ethanol dehydration followed heating 400 °C. The presence ions in the structure amorphous provides its increased resistance to transformation into crystalline phases. Aging mother solution for days promotes / carbonated hydroxyapatite c...

Dehydration is a major factor resulting in huge loss from cut flowers during transportation. In the present study, dehydration inhibited petal cell expansion and resulted in irregular flowers in cut roses, mimicking ethylene-treated flowers. Among the five floral organs, dehydration substantially elevated ethylene production in the sepals, whilst rehydration caused rapid and elevated ethylene l...
