The normal and differential titration curves of liganded and unliganded hemoglobin were measured at various KCl concentrations (0.1 to 2.0 M). In this range of KCl concentrations, the curves for deoxyhemoglobin showed no salt-induced pK changes of titratable groups. In the same salt concentration range oxyhemoglobin showed a marked change in titration behavior which could only be accounted for ...

Data security in the cloud is a big concern that blocks the widespread use of the cloud for relational data management. First, to ensure data security, data confidentiality needs to be provided when data resides in storage as well as when data is dynamically accessed by queries. Prior works on query processing on encrypted data did not provide data confidentiality guarantees in both aspects. Tr...

OBJECTIVE To determine the iodine concentration in household salt, the coverage of adequately iodized salt, the use of non-iodized agricultural and producers' salt, and the usefulness of salt as a carrier of iodine, and to relate these observations to socioeconomic status in South Africa. METHOD The iodometric titration method was used to analyse 2043 household salt samples collected using a ...

a simple, inexpensive and efficient method was used for extraction and determination of fexofenadine and levocetirizine with three–phase hollow fiber liquid-phase microextraction and high-performance liquid chromatography. several parameters influencing the extraction recoveries such as the nature of organic extraction solvent, ph of donor and acceptor phases, stirring rate, extraction time and...

A quantitative study was made of the repetitive response of the salt receptor cell of the blowfly taste receptor. The response begins at a high frequency and declines to a steady frequency during brief stimuli. The initial response was found to be a sigmoid function of the log of stimulus intensity over a short range of intensities. It was shown that a theory (Beidler, 1954; for mammalian salt ...

Chlorothiazide (CTZ), unlike other thiazide diuretics, can form salts. An injectable formulation containing the sodium salt is available; however neither the physicochemical characteristics of the salt nor its solid state form have been previously reported. This work reports on the crystal structure of chlorothiazide sodium. The structure was investigated by single crystal X-ray and nuclear mag...

Vapor-liquid equilibrium and density measurements have been performed on 1.00-5.89 m tetrabutylammonium bromide (TBAB) in mixtures of 2-propanoland water. The VLE experiments were performed using a modified Othmer still a t ambient pressure. The effect of salt on the relative volatility of 2-propanol was evaluated at molalities of 1.00,1.79, and 5.89 over the full range of solvent composition. ...

Nanofiltration (NF) has become a widely accepted process not only for producing drinking water but also for recovering wastewater in industrial processes or removing pollutants from industrial wastewater effluent. In the textile industry, the treatment of various dye baths with NF at room temperature have already been studied and was found feasible at lab-scale and pilot scale. The aim of this ...

A steady-state creep law for rocksalt, describing the two parallel mechanisms of dislocation creep and fluid-enhanced grain-boundary diffusion creep, has been used in numerical models of salt diapirism, to study the effective viscosity of rocksalt. Typical models included a 3-km-thick sedimentary layer on top of 1 km of rocksalt. The grain size of the salt has been varied between 0.5 and 3 cm a...

Reducing population salt intake has been identified as a priority intervention to reduce non-communicable diseases. Member States of the World Health Organization have agreed to a global target of a 30% reduction in salt intake by 2025. In countries where most salt consumed is from processed foods, programs to engage the food industry to reduce salt in products are being developed. This paper p...
