HAKIM, A. A., AKD NATHAN LIFSON. Effects of pressure on water and solute transport by do,g intestinal mucosa in vitro. Am. J Physiol. 216(Z) : 276-284. 1969.-This paper describes in some detail of canine intestinal mucosa ( 11, 12). The physiological relevance of the preparation is favored by its transport behavior, including dependence of water transport from isotonic Ringer fluid on the prese...

dispersivity (?) and effective transport porosity (?eff) are input parameters in equilibrium convection dispersion equation (cde). normally these parameters are obtained from breakthrough curves by inverse method. however, obtaining breakthrough curves in the field is not often possible in practice. the objective of this study was to estimate ? and feff from soil hydraulic data. for this purpos...

Title: Internally-Calibrated Passive Samplers for Water Quality Assessment of Pharmaceuticals and Other Organic Compounds of Wastewater Origin Project Number: 2015CT294B Start Date: 3/1/2015 End Date: 2/29/2016 Funding Source: 104B Congressional District: CT 2nd Research Category: Water Quality Focus Category: Water Quality, Methods, Solute Transport Descriptors: None Principal Investigators: A...

This study investigated the ability of the renal Na(+)-dicarboxylate cotransporter, NaDC-1, to transport water. Rabbit NaDC-1 was expressed in Xenopus laevis oocytes, cotransporter activity was measured as the inward current generated by substrate (citrate or succinate), and water transport was monitored by the changes in oocyte volume. In the absence of substrates, oocytes expressing NaDC-1 sh...

Owing to increased demands on ground water accompanied by increased drawdowns, technologies that use recharge options, such as aquifer storage recovery (ASR), are being used to optimize available water resources and reduce adverse effects of pumping. In this paper, three representative ground water flow models were created to assess the impact of hydrogeologic and operational parameters/factors...

Nufenoxole is an orally active antidiarrhoeal agent which binds to opioid receptors in the brain and myenteric plexus of the intestine. A perfusion technique has been used to investigate the effect of nufenoxole (1 mg/kg intrajejunally) on water and solute transport stimulated by the secretagogue, dioctyl sodium sulphosuccinate, in the human jejunum in vivo. Nufenoxole reversed the direction of...

Factors affecting preferential flow and transport in the vadose zone need to be investigated by experiments and simulations to protect groundwater against surface applied chemicals. The objectives of this study were to investigate the effects of several factors (soil structure, initial soil water content (SWC), and application rate) and their interactions on the extent of preferential flow and ...

Ground water in karst terrains is highly vulnerable to contamination due to the rapid transport of contaminants through the highly conductive conduit system. For contamination risk assessment purposes, information about hydraulic and geometric characteristics of the conduits and their hydraulic interaction with the fissured porous rock is an important prerequisite. The relationship between aqui...
