The current study aims to estimate the most frequent number of nucleoli in taxonomically interesting Fritillaria species. Silver nitrate staining is applied using a modified protocol 14 taxa and one hybrid from 17 populations Greece. This first report for all studied here. In general, ranges 0-8, with pontica F. theophrasti characterised by greatest observed nucleoli. results reinforce classifi...

A convenient reference cell and method of potentiometric determination of chloride ions with silver nitrate is described. The method is accurate to about +/- 0.02 ml. 10(-4)M silver nitrate.

Males of Zophobas aff. confusus and Nyctobates gigas (Tenebrionidae) collected in the State of Pernambuco, Brazil, were studied through conventional staining, C-banding, silver nitrate impregnation (AgNO₃), and the base specific fluorochromes CMA₃ and DAPI. Z. aff. confusus was found to have 2n = 20 (9+Xyp) while N. gigas exhibited 2n = 18 (8+neoXY). Large pericentromeric blocks of constitutive...

Precipitation titrations are based upon reactions that yield ionic compounds of limited solubility. The most important precipitating reagent is silver nitrate. Titrimetric methods based upon silver nitrate are sometimes termed argentometric methods. Potassium chromate can serve as an end point indicator for the argentometric determination of chloride, bromide and cyanide ions by reacting with s...

The use of plant extracts for the synthesis of nanoparticles plays a significant role in nanotechnology field as it is simple, fast, environment friendly and no use of toxic chemicals. The current research work investigate the findings of optimization of different experimental variables conditions like reaction pH, silver nitrate concentrations, time, temperature and mixing ratio of the reactan...

In order to obtain a high-resolution electrophorogram of rice young panicle proteome, we evaluated various protocols commonly used in two-dimensional (2D) polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) of proteins, including gel staining protocol, pH range of immobilized pH gradient (IPG) strips and sample loading quantity. Results showed that a silver staining protocol using sensitized solution con...

The Gallyas method is a silver impregnation technique that is essential in the field of neuropathology because of its high sensitivity for the detection of argentophilic inclusion bodies in the central nervous system. In Japan, the Gallyas method has improved and is widely used as the "modified Gallyas method". However, this method is not popularly used in general pathology laboratories because...

In this study, tripropylene glycol was used as a reducting agent in the polyol process to reduce silver nitrate to the form of silver particles deposited onto the surface of bamboo charcoal (BC). The reduction temperature and time were critical parameters as they control the size of the silver particles formed as well as their distribution onto the surface of the BC. The reduction of silver nit...

in this research, synthesis and characterization of silver/alumina composite powders was investigated. this kind of metal/ceramic composite powders is used for fabrication of cutting tools inserts. the role of silver is toughening the final product. the powders were synthesized via co-precipitation method. the composition of the synthesized powders was ag/80% wt 〖al〗_2 o_3. silver nitrate, alum...
