Comparative studies on the responses to salt stress of taxonomically related taxa should help to elucidate relevant mechanisms of stress tolerance in plants. We have applied this strategy to three Plantago species adapted to different natural habitats, P. crassifolia and P. coronopus-both halophytes-and P. major, considered as salt-sensitive since it is never found in natural saline habitats. G...

Quality characteristics of spent hen Pectoralis major muscles and effect of NaCl and sodium tripolyphosphate (STPP) on quality changes of raw and cooked spent hen muscles during chilled storage were investigated. Meat from spent hen had nutritional values the same as commercial broiler meat. Treated raw samples with 1.0% NaCl and 10% STPP showed lower drip loss during storage time (P<0.05), and...

The inhibitory/repressive effect of the final reaction product (inorganic o-phosphate) and the inducing effect of a substrate (β-glycerophosphate) on the phosphatase activity and synthesis in a salt lake sediment were studied. The determinations have been differentially carried out, for acid, neutral and alkaline phosphatase, and in reaction mixtures without buffering. The acid phosphatase acti...

Abstract Surfactants exist in atmospheric aerosols mixed with inorganic salts and can significantly influence the formation of cloud droplets due to bulk–surface partitioning surface tension depression. To model these processes, we need continuous parametrizations concentration dependent properties aqueous surfactant–salt solutions for full composition range from pure water surfactant or salt. ...

Introduction: Beta calcium sulfate hemihydrate (BCSH), which is commonly known as “Gypsum plaster” has long been used as bone graft material because of its excellent biocompatibility and the ability for bone regeneration. Several methods have been used for the preparation of BCSH, including heat treatment of calcium sulfate dihydrate with water, application of inorganic acids or condensed inorg...

The Residue on Ignition Test specified in General Tests, Japanese Pharmacopeia is a method to measure the weight of the residual substance not volatilized when the sample is ignited under a constant condition. Generally, this test is intended to determine the content of inorganic substances contained as impurities in an organic substance, and, occasionally, to determine the amount of inorganic ...
