In this study, sperm characteristics (motility parameters and ionic composition of seminal plasma) and effect of ions on motility (duration of motility of sperm and percentage of motile spermatozoa) and fertilization capacity (fertilization rate, hatching rate, survival rate and larvae length) were investigated in Ctenopharyngdon idella. The longest duration of motility obtained in solution con...

The effects of different chloride salt mixtures (I-control: 100% NaCl, II: 50:50—NaCl:KCl, III: 50:30:20—NaCl:KCl:MgCl2, IV: 50:30:20—NaCl:KCl:CaCl2, V: 50:30:10:10—NaCl:KCl:MgCl2:CaCl2) on the quality properties sucuk (a dry fermented beef sausage) during ripening were investigated. Lactic acid bacteria reached 8 log cfu/g in 3 days fermentation all treatments. However, including MgCl2 caused ...

The properties of foams are often affected by environmental variables such as salt contamination. objective this study is to investigate the impact on drainage behavior aqueous foams. To accomplish objective, experiments were conducted Test foam quality (40–65%), and content (0% 18%), type. drainage, was generated in a flow loop trapped vertical test section. Then, pressure profile column measu...

The local bonding environment of chlorine in silicate melts has a profound influence over the thermodynamic properties and structure melt, affecting viscosity, rheology, volatile degassing potential. To constrain Cl natural melts, we have determined K-edge X-ray absorption fine (XAFS) spectra for 44 experimentally produced glasses both near edge (XANES) extended (EXAFS) regions. In pre-edge reg...

The swelling capacity of novel hydrophilic gaskets used in geomembrane cutoff walls and infrastructures is critical for decreasing the flow rates contaminated groundwater. This study investigated behavior, relaxation characteristics, rates, micro-morphology a gasket with different testing liquids. radial tests were performed using device modified from single-lever consolidation instrument. A mo...

The Joint Transportation Research Program serves as a vehicle for INDOT collaboration with higher education institutions and industry in Indiana to facilitate innovation that results in continuous improvement in the planning, design, construction, operation, management and economic efficiency of the Indiana transportation infrastructure. NOTICE The contents of this report reflect the views of t...

forward osmosis (fo) has recently drawn attention as a promising membrane based method for seawater and brackish water desalination. in this study, we focus on the use of calciun chloride (cacl2) and potassium bicarbonate (khco3) as inorganic salt draw solution candidates due to their appropriate performance in water flux and reverse salt diffusion as well as reasonable cost. the experiments we...
