The whole cell recording mode of the patch-clamp technique was used to study the effect of hypotonic NaCl or isotonic high-KCl solution on membrane currents in a human osteoblast-like cell line, C1. Both hypotonic NaCl or isotonic high-KCl solution activated Cl- channels expressed in these cells as described previously. The reversal potential of the induced Cl- current is more negative when act...

An FeCoCrAlCu HEA coating was prepared on the surface of 45# steel by cold-spray-assisted induction remelting. The results showed that composed BCC and FCC phases. phase possessed an amplitude-modulated structure consisting a B1-disordered (FeCr) B2-ordered (AlCo), as well nanoscale precipitated near grain boundaries. solid solution Al–Cu matrix manifested characteristics typical twin structure...

We previously showed that hypothalamic neuronal activity, as measured by the blood oxygen level-dependent (BOLD) functional MRI signal, declines in response to oral glucose intake. To further explore the mechanism driving changes in hypothalamic neuronal activity in response to an oral glucose load, we here compare hypothalamic BOLD signal changes subsequent to an oral vs. an intravenous (iv) g...

Corrosion resistance of AA1070 aluminum alloy (AA1070) was compared to reinforced with alumina at weight composition (wt. %) 5% and 10%, grain size 150 nm 600 nm. Potentiodynamic polarization open circuit potential analysis were employed in 0.0125 M H2SO4, 3.5% NaCl H2SO4-3.5% solutions. Data showed solution the most deleterious peak corrosion rate value 6.682 mm/y while weakest 0.084 mm/y. wt....

Abstract We carried out greenhouse experiment to evaluate the effect of silicon (Si) on growth and mineral nutrition yellow passion fruit (Passiflora edulis) submitted saline stress in a nutritive solution. The comprised completely randomized design 5x4 factorial scheme: five NaCl concentrations (0; 7.5; 15; 30 60 mmol L-1) four SiO2 0.5; 1.0 1.5 with replicates. At end 35 days, we measured ste...

The corrosion resistance of solder joints is a critical factor affecting the service life electronic products during long-term operation. In this study, behavior Sn-0.7Cu-xNi@C (x = 0, 0.04, 0.08, and 0.12 wt.%) composite solders was investigated using Tafel polarization curve in 3.5 wt.% NaCl solution, result demonstrated that it Ni@C enhanced solder. rate decreased with increasing content rea...

Due to high efficiency and low cost, hydrate-based desalination is investigated as a pretreatment method for seawater desalination. To improve the formation rate of hydrates, effect sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) on CO2 hydrate from 3.5 wt.% NaCl solution was measured at 275 K 3 MPa. X-ray diffraction (XRD) cryo-scanning electron microscopy (cryo-SEM) were used measure crystal structure micromorp...

The synergistic antimicrobial effects of phytic acid (PA), a natural extract from rice bran, plus sodium chloride against Escherichia coli O157:H7 were examined. Exposure to NaCl alone at concentrations up to 36% (wt/wt) for 5 min did not reduce bacterial populations. The bactericidal effects of PA alone were much greater than those of other organic acids (acetic, citric, lactic, and malic acid...

In order to develop a potential route fabricate plates and clips for orthopedic applications, Mg–3.4Dy–0.2Zn–0.4Zr (wt.%) alloy was produced analyzed in different conditions: solution treated at 525 °C 3 h, hot rolled aged 250 °C. The aging behavior of the investigated during isothermal °C, significant peak observed 10 h. electrochemical evaluated 0.9 wt.% NaCl 37 ± 0.5 by potentiodynamic polar...

Abstract: The possibility of vanadium carbide coating formation on AISI L2 steel was studied in molten salt bath containing 33 wt% NaCl- 67 wt% CaCl2. In this research, the effects of time, temperature and bath composition on growing layer thickness were studied. The vanadium carbide coating treatment was performed in the NaCl-CaCl2 bath at 1173, 1273 and 1373 K temperatures for 3, 6, 9 hours a...
