The viscosity of sunflower oil in 1,4-dioxane used as a diluent in the presence and absence of strong electrolytes (HCl, NaOH, NaCl) at different temperatures (298K to 323K) was accomplished. The viscosity of sunflower oil was found to increase with the increasing concentration and decreased with the increase in temperature. It was further observed that viscosity of sunflower solution in 1,4-di...

Solutions to Maxwell's wave equation have been derived for the propagation of the fundamental (Gaussian) mode of a laser beam in a fluid electrolyte which is in contact with an active electrode. An electrochemical or photoelectrochemical reaction at the electrolyte-electrode interface is assumed to generate a concentration gradient of the product in the electrolyte, which results in an inhomoge...

We present a theoretical description of the effect of polyvalent ions on the interaction between titratable macroions. The model system consists of two point-like macroions with dissociable sites, immersed in an asymmetric ionic mixture of monovalent and polyvalent salts. We formulate a dressed ion strong coupling theory, based on the decomposition of the asymmetric ionic mixture into a weakly ...

1. The sarcosomes of Drosophila and the blowfly, Phormia, are dense, spherical, homogeneous bodies when isolated from flight muscle and promptly examined under the phase contrast, oil immersion objective. 2. Their average diameter in newly emerged flies is about 1 micro. This value increases rapidly during the 1st week of adult life and then becomes constant at approximately 2.5 micro. At each ...

Specific immune precipitates dissolve in concentrated solutions of alkali-metal halides, and of alkaline-earth-metal halides and thiocyanates. The quantity of protein dissolved depends on the nature of the antigen-antibody system, on the proportion of the antigen in the precipitate, and on the avidity of the antibody. The extent of solubilization is a function of the temperature, of the volume ...

Introduction: Oral Rehydration Therapy (ORT) is the standard clinical intervention for the treatment of dehydration due to diarrhoea. It does not reduce the volume and frequency of duration of diarrhoea. This has prompted searching for improving ORS. One way of improving ORT may be delivering ORS in liposomes, to stimulate faster and more efficient absorption of water and electrolytes from smal...

This supplement to ‘Electrowetting with Electrolytes’ gives the derivation of two general equations applicable to electrowetting with an interface between two immiscible electrolytic solutions (ITIES). The first section provides a derivation of the functional to determine the Gibbs free energy, G. This result is expressed in terms of the potential and ionic-concentration distributions for dropl...

OBJECTIVES To research the crystal structure and surface morphology of anodic films on titanium metal in different electrolytes under various electrochemical conditions and investigate the effect of the crystal structure of the oxide films on apatite-forming ability in simulated body fluid (SBF). METHODS Titanium oxide films were prepared using an anodic oxidation method on the surface of tit...
