A floating system was established in a heated glass greenhouse order to investigate whether the effect of amino acids (0.25 or 0.50% commercial acid (AA) solution Amino16®) during peppermint and spearmint production on plant developmental nutritional status may be part attributed salinity induced osmotic stress. For this reason, some nutrient solutions, three levels were by adding 0, 10, 20 mM ...

Plants respond to salinity by altering their physiological parameters in order to maintain their water balance. The reduction in root hydraulic conductivity is one of the first responses of plants to the presence of salt in order to minimize water stress. Although its regulation has been commonly attributed to aquaporins activity, osmotic adjustment and the toxic effect of Na+ and Cl- have also...

Chaput Kevin J. Ph.D., Purdue University, May 2015. Near-Congruent Solidification of Castings. Major Professor: Kevin Trumble. A study on the microstructure development of as-cast Cu-Mn alloys based around the congruent minimum at 34.6 wt % Mn and 873 oC was performed. Initially, this was to evaluate the alloy as an alternative to wide freezing range Pb and Sn bronzes that are plagued with poro...

Abstract. High-Mn steels have great plasticity when subjected to deformation due TWIP or TRIP effects. This work evaluated the microstructural evolution, formation of -Martensite phase taking into account hot rolling 80-60% and solution annealing. Afterwards, microstructures were analyzed by SEM. Volume fraction Austenite phases measured EBSD technique. The steel obtained low energy levels sta...

Abstract The application of machine learning models to predict material properties is determined by the availability high-quality data. We present an expert-curated dataset lithium ion conductors and associated conductivities measured a.c. impedance spectroscopy. This has 820 entries collected from 214 sources; contain a chemical composition, expert-assigned structural label, ionic conductivity...

Five temperature-sensitive lysis mutants were found to possess very low diaminopimelic acid (Dpm) adding enzyme activity in vitro. Murein synthesis at 42 C was impaired, and uridine-5'-diphosphate-N-acetyl-muramyl-l-Ala- d-Glu (UDP-MurNAc-dipeptide) was accumulated. In the presence of NaCl, the mutants could grow at 42 C. NaCl had no influence on the Dpm adding enzyme activity in vitro. The gro...

Rat liver was homogenized in isotonic buffer, fractionated by differential centrifugation, and then subfractionated by equilibrium sedimentation in Nycodenz gradients. Fractions were assayed for both Cu,Zn-SOD and Mn-SOD by exploiting the cyanide-sensitivity of the former activity and by the use of specific antibodies. As expected, the cytosol and lysosomal fractions contained Cu,Zn-SOD; while ...

The surface tension, foaming, bitterness and colour properties of bovine milk protein isolate (MPI) MPI hydrolysates generated with Flavourzyme TM , Neutrase Protamex were evaluated. tension the hydrolysate samples (46.6–48.3 mN m -1 ), measured using pendant drop shape analysis, was reduced compared intact (49.1–49.6 ). foam half-life (58.1–214 s) at 25 °C significantly (783–850 s). L* value (...
