This study developed probabilistic models to determine the initiation time of growth of Pseudomonas spp. in combinations with NaNO2 and NaCl concentrations during storage at different temperatures. The combination of 8 NaCl concentrations (0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.25, 1.5, and 1.75%) and 9 NaNO2 concentrations (0, 15, 30, 45, 60, 75, 90, 105, and 120 ppm) were prepared in a nutrient broth. The ...

The correlation between molecular changes and microstructural evolution of rheological properties has been demonstrated for the first time in a mixed anionic/zwitterionic surfactant-based wormlike micellar system. Utilizing a novel combination of DLS-microrheology and Raman Spectroscopy, the effect of electrostatic screening on these properties of anionic (SLES) and zwitterionic (CapB) surfacta...

To determine whether age-related changes in salt preferences occur over the lifespans of spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) and Wistar-Kyoto rats (WKY), the same animals of each genotype were tested as juveniles, and as young and older adults. Taste preference ratios for NaCl and KCl, at concentrations from 0.001 to 1.0 M, were calculated using 24-hour, two-bottle preference tests of each sa...

This study developed probabilistic models to determine the initiation time of growth of Pseudomonas spp. in combinations with NaNO 2 and NaCl concentrations during storage at different temperatures. The combination of 8 NaCl concentrations (0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.25, 1.5, and 1.75%) and 9 NaNO 2 concentrations (0, 15, 30, 45, 60, 75, 90, 105, and 120 ppm) were prepared in a nutrient broth. Th...

To investigate the effects of saline stress on seed germination, ion distribution, and organic solutes changes of sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.), in the present study, seeds and 3-week-old seedlings were subjected to a series of external NaCl concentrations (5–200 mmol). The results showed that high salinity (200 mmol) remarkably inhibited the germination of seed and delayed germination time ...

The equilibria of methane and carbon dioxide clathrate hydrates were measured in presence a pure-quartz porous sand, with without NaCl. Two different salt concentrations tested: 0.030 0.037 wt%. Results compared phase equilibrium data already present literature for these species. Despite salt, the medium was found to promote process, mainly increased surface/volume ratio improved heat transfer....
