This work reports tests performed to evaluate the stability of aqueous dispersions of inorganic oxide pigments with different specific surface areas, with the use of anionic and non-ionic surfactants and concentrators. Color mixtures of oxide compounds of blue, green, olive and brown with the unit cell spinel structure were used as pigments. The sodium salt of sulfosuccinic acid monoester, oxye...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the association of salt consumption with blood pressure in Viet Nam, a developing country with a high level of salt consumption. DESIGN AND SETTING Analysis of a nationally representative sample of Vietnamese adults 25-65 years of age who were surveyed using the World Health Organization STEPwise approach to Surveillance protocol. Participants who reported acute illness,...

Vapor-liquid equilibrium and density measurements have been performed on 1.00-5.89 m tetrabutylammonium bromide (TBAB) in mixtures of 2-propanoland water. The VLE experiments were performed using a modified Othmer still a t ambient pressure. The effect of salt on the relative volatility of 2-propanol was evaluated at molalities of 1.00,1.79, and 5.89 over the full range of solvent composition. ...

Zygosaccharomyces rouxii, a salt-tolerant yeast isolated from the soy sauce process, produces fusel alcohols (isoamyl alcohol, active amyl alcohol and isobutyl alcohol) from branched-chain amino acids (leucine, isoleucine and valine, respectively) via the Ehrlich pathway. Using a high-throughput screening approach in microtiter plates, we have studied the effects of pH, temperature and salt con...

Background/Aim: The aetiology of gastro-oesophageal reflux is largely unknown. The authors’ aim was to examine the relation between lifestyle habits and gastro-oesophageal reflux symptoms. Subjects: Participants of two consecutive public health surveys in Nord-Trondelag, Norway. Methods: In a case control study within the two public health surveys, 3153 individuals who in the second survey repo...

Sao Paulo Med J/Rev Paul Med 2001; 119(4):130. Salt and humanity are very old companions. The agricultural revolution started ten thousand years ago, and salt was responsible for where human populations settled because of its food conservation properties. Populations like the Yanomani that do not use salt for preparing food do not like it when salt is added in, as was the case with the Yanomani...

Article history: Received January 26, 2013 Received in Revised form May 10, 2013 Accepted 20 May 2013 Available online 24 May 2013 Superabsorbent hydrogels based on poly(vinyl alcohol) were prepared by a crosslinking technique using glutaraldehyde as a crosslinker. The hydrogel structure was confirmed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Results from SEM observation showed a porous structu...

The sodium salt of poly(dG-dC) is known to exhibit a B + Z transition in the presence of various cations and 60% alcohol. We here show that the lithium salt of poly(dG-dC) does not undergo B 4 Z transition in the presence of 60% alcohol since Li’ with its large hydration shell cannot stabilize the Z-form. On the other hand, high concentrations of Mg2* or micromolar concentrations of the cobalt ...
