Bacto-Agar is a purified Agar prepared from domestic material. In the manufacture of Bacto-Agar extraneous matter, pigmented portions, and salts are reduced to a minimum, so that the finished product in the form of fine granules will dissolve rapidly, giving clear solutions. Bacto-Asparagine Bacto-Asparagine is a purified ao acid widely used in synthetic culture media and in the preparation of ...

seem worthy of the attention of the Society, as they are apparently the first described in this country. The subjects of it worked in the "curing-house" in one of the rubber-works here, their duties requiring them to dissolve chloride of sulphur in bisulphide of carbon, and to superintend the working of the machine for vulcanizing the cloth. They are thus almost continuously exposed to a more o...

From the time the medical school's acceptance letter is opened, students eagerly set off on the yellow brick road in pursuit of the attributes of the good physician: intelligence, compassion and courage. The students already possess these traits, just as the Scarecrow, Tin Man and Lion did before they set out for Oz, but they may dissolve in education systems that still decree that the initiati...

The reversible and transient photostimulated structural changes in annealed chalcogenide glass (ChG) layers were used to form interference periodic structures on semiconductor surfaces and metal films. It was shown that negative-action etchants based on amines dissolve illuminated parts of a chalcogenide film, i.e., act as positive etchants. The diffraction gratings and 2-D interference structu...

Fluoride has a specific affinity for hydroxyapatite bone Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2. It lists the hydroxyl ions of hydroxyapatite crystals converting it into Fluor apatite, which entails a change of the physical characteristics of the crystals. Fluorapatite crystals are quick dimension "a" crystal, increased crystallinity and a reduced dissolve. Increased solubility of fluorapatite is the main cause of ch...

This feminist ethnographic piece offers a snapshot of how contingency impacts diversity work in General Education (GE) courses the Communication Studies Department at California State University, Northridge. After grounding my critical university scholarship from Sara Ahmed (2012), Roderick Ferguson and others, I explore pressure to do contingent faculty various identities department. To this e...

The work reports an experimental observation on crystal rotation in a duplex (austenite + ferrite) steel induced by the electropulsing treatment at ambient temperature, while the temperature rising due to ohmic heating in the treatment was negligible. The results demonstrate that electric current pulses are able to dissolve the initial material's texture that has been formed in prior thermomech...

The ability of silicon to dissolve in physiological environments allows its use as the basis of a highperformance inorganic integrated circuit technology for active, bioresorbable implant devices. N. R. Aluru, J. A. Rogers, and co-workers perform systematic experimental and theoretical studies of hydrolysis of silicon nanomembranes at near neutral pH, as described on page 1857. This image shows...

A poly(acrylic acid)±surfactant±multi-walled carbon nanotube complex was prepared and characterized using transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, wide-angle X-ray di€raction and small-angle X-ray di€raction. The complex was found to retain a lamellar structure, and helped micrometer-length multi-walled carbon nanotube dissolve in organic solvents. Its nonlinear optical p...

Thick electrophoretically deposited (EPD) films of ligand-capped colloidal nanocrystals (NCs) typically crack when removed from the deposition solvent due to the loss of residual solvent. We report the suppression of fracture in several micrometers thick EPD films of CdSe NCs by treating the wet, as-deposited films with solutions of polymer precursor monomers, followed by UV-initiated polymeriz...
