The aim of this study was to examine the effects of a carbohydrate-electrolyte drink on specific soccer tests and performance. Twenty-two professional male soccer players volunteered to participate in the study. The players were allocated to two assigned trials ingesting carbohydrate-electrolyte drink (7% carbohydrates, sodium 24 mmol.l-1, chloride 12 mmol.l-1, potassium 3 mmol.l-1) or placebo ...

Clostridium perfringens sialidase was purified by affinity chromatography. Kinetic properties of the enzyme were examined with sialyllactose and with mixed sialoglycolipids (gangliosides) as substrates. With the latter substrate in 0.01 M Tris-acete in the absence of strong electrolyte, the pH optimum for enzymatic activity was 6.8. Addition of strong electrolyte (0.01 to 0.10 M Nac1) to the re...

BACKGROUND Pre-delivery maternal electrolyte derangements may reflect themselves in the newborn, since placental homeostasis determines electrolyte equilibrium between mother and fetus. CASE PRESENTATION A term newborn, transferred to our Neonatal Intensive Care Unit 1 h after birth for an apnoea episode, presented with initially left-sided, and subsequently generalized tonic-clonic seizures ...

Performance of a fuel cell using Sn0.9In0.1P2O7 as the electrolyte was evaluated in the temperature range of 150–300°C under unhumidified conditions. The IR drop and electrode overpotential of the cell were measured separately by the current interruption method. The dc conductivity values of the electrolyte between 150 and 300°C, estimated from the IR drop, were comparable to the ac conductivit...

Dye sensitized solar cells (DSSC) are a promising technological alternative to conventional pn-junction solar cells, and therefore attract considerable scientific interest. Different attempts have been made to replace the liquid electrolyte by a solid state hole conducting organic or inorganic medium. This contribution compares electrical properties of three different types of DSSCs. First, we ...

In this study, nanocomposite of ternary nitrate molten salt induced with MXene is developed. LiNO3-NaNO3-KNO3 wt% 35:12:53 and 35:10:55 are produced doped in the 0.2, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5. FTIR result indicates composites had no chemical reaction occurred during preparation. UV-VIS analysis shows absorption enhancement respect to concentration MXene. Thermogravimetric (TGA) was used measure thermal st...

a new modified adomian decomposition method (adm) is utilized to obtain an analytical solution for buckling of the nanocantilever actuators immersed in liquid electrolytes. the nanoactuators in electrolytes are subject to different nonlinear forces including ionic concentration, van der waals, external voltage and electrochemical forces. the duan–rach modified adomian decomposition method is ut...

changes in dietary electrolyte balance influence the metabolic fate of protein and many amino acids. furthermore, acid-base condition is achieved in part by the alteration of dietary amino acids pattern and quantity. therefore, a trial was conducted in a completely randomized design to evaluate performance, carcass characteristics, plasma electrolyte and uric acid concentrations of 19 and 28-da...

plasma electrolytic oxidation (peo) was performed on a 1010 aluminum alloy. to achieve thenanocomposite structure, si3n4 nanoparticles were added into the electrolyte. in an alkaline aqueoussuspension (silicate-based), the effect of adding niso4 on the applied voltage, microstructure,composition, wear, and corrosion resistance of peo coatings was investigated using scanningelectron microscopy (...
