The buffer used in the experiment was diluted from 1X Phosphate Buffer Saline (10g NaCl, 0.25g KCl, 1.8 g Na2HPO4, 0.3 g KH2PO4, 1000 ml H2O ) at pH=7.4 by a factor of 1/15. The resultant solution had an estimated conductivity of σ = 0.1441 S/m. The conductivity of the buffer was calculated from first principles using the electrophoretic mobilities of the ions (5.4 -8 m 2 /V.s for sodium ions a...

Groundwater flow in sedimentary rock saprolite, and in soils derived from this material, is strongly influenced by sedimentary layering and fractures inherited from the parent bedrock. The main objectives of this study were to determine whether parent bedrock lithology and infilling of fractures and other macropores with pedogenically derived clays and Fe/Mn oxides also play major roles in cont...

Little is known about the role of mitogen-activated protein kinase 6 (MPK6) in Na(+) toxicity and inhibition of root growth in Arabidopsis under NaCl stress. In this study, we found that root elongation in seedlings of the loss-of-function mutants mpk6-2 and mpk6-3 was less sensitive to NaCl or Na-glutamate, but not to KCl or mannitol, as compared with that of wild-type (WT) seedlings. The less...

Osmolytes, PGPR, Proline, Reducing Sugars, Total soluble sugars, Rhizobacteria ABSTRACT Free living rhizospheric bacteria from wheat rhizosphere have capability to produced plant growth promoting attributes under saline condition. The electrical conductivity (ECe) of saline soil samples from four different districts viz. Varanasi, Mau, Ballia and Ghazipur of Uttar PradeshIndia was 10.47 to 5.69...

In this study, an alternative aqueous isopropyl alcohol-free fountain solution for sheet-fed offset printing is prepared comprising 5 w/w% McIlvaine's buffer system pH control, 0.3 Polysorbate 80 as a surfactant, 1 magnesium nitrate hexahydrate conductivity agent and 10 ethylene glycol mono-butyl ether additional wetting agent. The percentages of each composition are active then adjusted to 100...

In this study, the nanofluids are produced by dispersing Al2O3 nanoparticles in the H2O/CH3OH binary mixtures using an ultrasonic equipment. Solid Sodium Chlorides (NaCl) with a fixed mass fraction are dissolved in the binary mixture for CO2 absorption. The main objective of this paper is to measure the thermal conductivity of the Al2O3 nanofluids using the transient hot-wire method. The experi...

Manganese (Mn) is neurotoxic and can induce manganism, a Parkinson-like disease categorized as being a serious central nervous system irreversible neurodegenerative disease. An increased risk of developing symptoms of Parkinson disease has been linked to work-related exposure, for example, for workers in agriculture, horticulture, and people living near areas with frequent use of Mn-containing ...

Complex conductivity measurements of carbonate rocks are scarce despite the occurrence these at surface Earth. The complex spectra 57 samples were measured in a broad frequency range and four salinities (NaCl). A simple model induced polarization is developed to be applied field. in-phase (related conduction) reported as function pore water determine (intrinsic) formation factor conductivity. n...
