Electron beam irradiated sheep wool dosed (0–410) kGy showing good adsorption properties was tested for Cr(III) and Co(II) of higher concentrations. Fitting to ten isotherm models examined as follows: Langmuir, Freundlich, Dubinin-Radushkevich, Temkin, Flory-Huggins, Halsey, Harkins-Jura, Jovanovic, Elovich Redlich-Peterson. Both cations being Lewis acids generate complex salts, such carboxylat...

A new theory for polymer gels is developed on the basis of the single-chain mean-field (SCMF) theory. This theory takes the mesh chain or the star polymer as the characteristic unit of polymer gels, and it allows the study of chain conformation properties for gels in their different states. The preparation condition effect is conveniently described by the current theory, and the gels with compl...

Abstract The strain-generated potential (SGP) is a well-established mechanism in cartilaginous tissues whereby mechanical forces generate electrical potentials. In articular cartilage (AC) and the intervertebral disc (IVD), studies on SGP have focused fluid- ionic-driven effects, namely Donnan, diffusion streaming However, recent evidence has indicated direct coupling between strain potential. ...

The ratio of concentration of chloride in the aqueous humor compared with that in the plasma of rabbits, dogs, and human beings, was determined by the Schales and Sendroy methods. Consistent results were obtained in all the experiments by the Schales method with or without protein, and by the Sendroy method without protein. In the presence of protein, however, lower chloride concentrations were...
