A sufficient differentiation of lymphatic capillaries from blood capillaries in conventional light microscopy still eludes researches. The endothelium and media of lymphatic capillaries are characterized by a strong 5'-nucleotidase activity, whereas blood capillaries reveal no or significantly lower activity. Alkaline phosphatase activity, on the other hand, missing in the lymphatic capillaries...

Bioactive glass is used as both a bone filler and as a coating on implants, and has been advocated as a potential osteogenic scaffold for tissue engineering. Rat-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) show elevated levels of alkaline phosphatase activity when grown on 45S5 bioactive glass as compared to standard tissue culture plastic. Similarly, exposure to the dissolution products of 45S5 elev...

Local changes of the interfacial pH can significantly affect the rate and mechanism in the course of an electrodic reaction. For instance, different pH values will have significant effect on the equilibrium properties of both solution and surface species altering the reactions kinetics. Ethanol oxidation at platinum electrodes, in alkaline media involves a fast consumption of OH species that wi...

A Ni-MOF is used as a precursor to synthesize NiSe 2 /NiS @NC heterojunction with rich phase interfaces through selenization/sulfurization process. Overpotentials of 188 mV and 211 are achieved in acidic alkaline media at 10 mA cm −2 .

Hydrogen peroxide is an environmentally friendly bleaching chemical that widely used in alkaline media the pulp and paper industry. In this study, unconventional reaction conditions of conventional P-stage were performed to evaluate its effect on cellulose. The objective was “tailor” cellulose degradation according different applications, such as dissolving pulps. Different operating studied: p...
