Supplementary Figure 1. Fullerence has poor solubility in water while the C60S and LC60S nanoparticles can be stably dispersed in water. (a) A typical photograph of fullerence (C60), C60S nanoparticles, and LC60S nanoparticles in deionized water (2 mg ml-1). The C60S and LC60S nanoparticles can be well dispersed in deionized water while fullerene forms aggregates and sinks down at the bottom of...

The ionic mechanism underlying the receptor potential induced by a deionized water stimulus was studied in frog taste cells with conventional microelectrodes. The taste cells located in the proximal portion of the tongue generated a depolarizing receptor potential which averaged 10mV in response to stimulation with deionized water. The cell membrane of the water-sensitive taste cell could be di...

A novel and aqueous gel-casting process has been successfully developed to fabricate porous MgAl₂O₄ ceramics by using hydratable alumina and MgO powders as raw materials and deionized water as hydration agent. The effects of different amounts of deionized water on the hydration properties, apparent porosity, bulk density, microstructure, pore size distribution and compressive strength of the sa...

The present study was conducted to investigate the in vivo effects of an intrahepatic infusion of deionized water during exercise in rats. Adrenodemedullated male Sprague-Dawley rats were continuously infused for 30 min either at rest or during treadmill exercise (26 m/min, 0% grade). Rats were randomly assigned to one of three infusion conditions (52 micro ul/min) with either deionized water (...

Pseudomonas cepacia strains were isolated from the water reservoirs of unheated nebulizers in a hospital setting. The isolates were characterized by morphology, biochemical tests, and antibiotic susceptibility patterns. An interesting feature of these organisms was their capacity for sustained multiplication in either doubly deionized or doubly distilled water as well as 5% dextrose or 0.9% sal...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS The small leafy succulent shrub Halocnemum strobilaceum occurs in saline habitats from northern Africa and Mediterranean Europe to western Asia, and it is a dominant species in salt deserts such as those of north-west China. The effects of temperature, light/darkness and NaCl salinity were tested on seed germination, and the effects of salinity were tested on seed germinatio...

Nylon filters are a popular medium to collect atmospheric fine particles in different aerosol monitoring networks, including those operated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the Interagency Monitoring of Protected Visual Environments (IMPROVE) program. Extraction of the filters by deionized water or by a basic aqueous solution (typically a mixture of sodium carbonate and sodium bi...

Objective(s): The present study aimed to determine and compare moisturizing and occlusion effects of different solid lipid nanoparticles (SLN) and nanostructured lipid carriers (NLC) using magnetized water and deionized water.Materials and Methods: SLN formulations were prepared using various lipids, including Tripalmitin, Compritol®, Pr...
