The effects of ionic ordering in DNA water solutions are studied by conductivity experiments. The conductivity measurements are performed for the solutions of DNA with KCl salt in the temperature range from 28 to 70 0C. Salt concentration vary from 0 to 2 M. The conductivity of solutions without DNA but with the same concentration of KCl salt are also performed. The results show that in case of...

BACKGROUND Many industrialized countries struggle to maintain adequate iodine intake because of changes in dietary habits and the food supply. In Switzerland, because of declining iodine intakes in children and pregnant women, the iodine concentration in table salt was increased from 15 to 20 mg/kg. OBJECTIVE We evaluated Swiss iodine nutrition after the 1999 increase in the salt iodine conce...

BACKGROUND Following WHO recommendations, Morocco adopted in 1995 the universal salt iodization (USI) as a strategy to prevent and control iodine deficiency disorders. In 2009, the standard salt iodine concentration was adjusted to 15-40 mg/kg. The success of USI for the control of iodine deficiency disorders requires an evaluation of iodine concentration in salt prior to assessing the iodine n...

nanofiltration (nf) has become a widely accepted process not only for producing drinking water but also for recovering wastewater in industrial processes or removing pollutants from industrial wastewater effluent. in the textile industry, the treatment of various dye baths with nf at room temperature have already been studied and was found feasible at lab-scale and pilot scale. the aim of this ...
