INTRODUCTION Electrolyte abnormalities are one of the common causes of morbidity and mortality in critically ill patients. The turnaround time for electrolyte reporting should be as low as possible. Electrolytes are measured conventionally in serum obtained from venous blood by electrolyte analyser which takes 20 to 30 min. Point of care analysers are now available where in electrolytes can be ...

Bi/vacancy incorporation in sodium niobate, NaNbO3, induces relaxor-like behaviour leading to higher recoverable energy storage density and efficiency, with potential use capacitors.

Perovskite oxides such as alkaline niobates crystal possess many interesting properties including piezoelectricity, pyroelectricity, electro-optic and nonlinear optical response (Bhalla et al., 2000). The most common alkaline niobates material is lithium niobate (LiNbO3). Since the discovery of LiNbO3 ferroelectricity (Matthias & Remeika, 1949), its properties are widely exploited by electronic...

1. The effect of extracellular potassium on the transport of sodium and potassium in rat thymocytes has been studied in vitro. 2. A significant increase in the rate constant for total and ouabain-sensitive sodium efflux was demonstrated at an extracellular potassium concentration of 1 mmol/l as compared with that at either 0 or 2 mmol/l. 3. At potassium concentrations below 3 mmol/l ouabain-sen...

fenugreek is one of the important medicinal plant that used in the pharmaceutical industry. in order to investigate the effects of salinity stress on relative water content, membrane stability, total chlorophyll, sodium, potassium, sodium to potassium ratio and proline, a factorial experiment was conducted in a completely randomized design with three replications in 2013. experimental treatment...

     For investigation deficit irrigation and nitrogen application effect on nutrients uptake of henna ecotypes, this research was conducted in the form of split-split-plot on the basis of randomized complete block design with four replications in the Research Field of Islamic Azad University, Jiroft, Iran in 2013-2014. The main, sub and sub-sub plot were deficit irrigation (100, 75 and 50% of ...

Carbon fiber-reinforced polymers (CFRPs) can be used in aging infrastructures as a reinforcement because of their excellent mechanical properties, and they also the support maintenance repair work these structures. However, development CFRPs while achieving self-powered damage detection is still challenging. Herein, sodium potassium niobate (KNN) nanoparticle-filled epoxy (KNN–EP) plate was fab...
