This study was initiated to determine the wettability of three Honduran bamboo species by contact-angiemeasurements. Static contact angles of urea formaldehyde (UF), phenol formaldehyde (PF), isocyanate (ISO) and distilled water on the bamboo surfaces were measured. The effects of bamboo species, layer (outer, middle and inner) and chemical treatment (hydrochloric acid, sodium hydroxide and dis...

Sir,?I beg to send here witli a prescription for the hypodermic use of quinine. Take of the sulphate of quinine 30 grains and make it into a soft paste with a few drops of distilled water in a glass mortar, then add pure hydrochloric acid drop by drop continuously, and also a few drops of distilled water, occasionally rubbing it up with the pestle at the same time till you get a clear solution....

Chemical changes are reported occurring in the blood of animals with obstruction of the jejunum, in which distilled water or sodium chloride solutions were introduced directly into the lumen of the intestine below the point of obstruction. Distilled water given daily from the beginning of the obstruction, had no influence on the development or course of the toxemia. 1 and 2 per cent salt soluti...

It may be concluded that the degree of dilution of the culture medium has a marked influence on the rate of growth of splenic tissue. The maximum acceleration was obtained in a medium composed of three volumes of normal plasma and two volumes of distilled water. The growth in this hypotonic plasma was very much larger than in normal plasma. On the contrary, the growth of the spleen in hypertoni...

The sampling tube, an open-ended polyethylene feeding catheter sterilised by the manufacturer, is filled with sterile distilled water. A 2.0% suspension of agar in distilled water is prepared and enough cochineal to colour the solution is added. This is autoclaved at 44N/10 min to dissolve and sterilise the agar. When the solution has cooled to 60°C an 8 cm length of the coloured agar solution ...

This letter was referred for comment to Becton Dickinson and Co. For the four analytes for which Dr. Steindel found differences, they also found “clinically insignificant” differences. They comment farther: “We also extracted the contents of the tube with distilled water and determined calcium and LDH. The range of calcium extracted from the tube measured by atomic absorption [spectroscopy] was...

Crude membranes were obtained from L forms by allowing the cells to lyse in distilled water. The crude membranes were washed several times in distilled water, lyophilized, and extracted with phenol-acetic acid-water. The membrane proteins were separated electrophoretically in polyacrylamide gels run at pH 4.5. Electrophoretic patterns and densitometric tracings of the gels showed distinct, repr...
