1. The strain of Bacterium coli used in these experiments multiplies in distilled water at pH 6.0 and pH 8.0 and in Ringer-Locke solution at pH 6.0. Under all the other conditions studied the numbers decrease with the passage of time. 2. The electrophoretic charge of the cells is highest in distilled water at pH 6.0 and pH 8.0. Under all other conditions studied the velocity of migration is dec...

1. Chemical examination of the cell sap of Nitella showed that the concentrations of all the principal inorganic elements, K, SO(4), Ca, Mg, PO(4), Cl, and Na, were very much higher than in the water in which the plants were growing. 2. Conductivity measurements and other considerations lead to the conclusion that all or nearly all of the inorganic elements present in the cell sap exist in ioni...

00 Diethyl 0 -p -nitrophenyl thiophosphate (I), generally known as parathion or E 605, is an insecticide which is of value against a variety of crop pests. Its mammalian toxicity is usually ascribed to its power of inhibiting cholinesterase, and this is also possibly its mechanism of insecticidal action. The in vitro inhibition of the enzyme was first studied by DuBois, Doull, Salerno & Coon (1...

BENCHMARKS dsDNA was removed from the super-natant (lane 4), which was discarded. The bead-bound dsDNA was denatured in alkaline solution (0.1 M NaOH and 1 mM EDTA) at room temperature for 15 min, and the ssDNA without biotin groups was released in the alkaline solution (lane 5). After neutralization, the ssDNA solution was combined with five volumes of Buffer PB from the MiniElute™ PCR Purific...

Article history: Received on: 26/11/2014 Revised on: 25/01/2015 Accepted on: 18/02/2015 Available online: 28/03/2015 The present paper aims to develop a simple direct colorimetric method for the determination of cerberin in rat plasma without any previous chemical separation of the cerberin from Cerbera odollam. The method is based on reaction of the cardenolide group of cerberin with 3,5-dinit...

Novel poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) nanofiber mats were prepared for the first time through heterogeneous saponification of electrospun poly(vinyl acetate) (PVAc) nanofibers. The effect of varying the saponification conditions, including temperature, time, and concentration of the alkaline solution, on the morphology of the saponified PVA fibers were evaluated by field-emission scanning electron mi...

The objective of this study was to investigate the effect curing temperature on mechanical properties sanitary ware porcelain powder-based geopolymer paste and mortar under various temperatures. setting time, porosity, water absorption, compressive strength specimens mixed with alkaline concentrations 8M, 10M, 12M, 14M were compared. All cube (50×50×50 mm) placed into drying ovens for 24 hours ...
