The electric potential difference (1 to 15 Inv.) between two loci of the slime mold connected with a strand of protoplasm changes rhythmically with the same period (60 to 180 seconds) as that of back and forth protoplasmic streaming along the strand. When atmospheric pressure at a part of the plasmodium is increased (about 10 cm. H~O), the dectric potential at this part becomes positive (0 to 2...

The chloroplast of Spirogyra is a long, spirally coiled ribbon which may contract to form a short, nearly straight rod. This happens under natural conditions and it can also be produced by a variety of inorganic salts and by some organic substances. It also occurs when the chloroplast is freed by centrifugal force from the clear peripheral protoplasm which is in contact with the cellulose wall....

Triplaris gardneriana Wedd is a deciduous riparian tree occurring in areas with different climatic conditions Brazil, from the rainforest to tropical dry forest. An increase global temperature and drought events can change growth pattern establishment of species. To evaluate effects intermittent on T. seedlings, an experiment was performed using seedlings one month old subjected three water tre...

Arsenic is a kind of protoplasmic poison, which exists widely in the natural environment. Consuming too much arsenic can cause number health problems. Manganese oxide plays an important role pollution removal technology. In this paper, hazard and its treatment methods application manganese oxides are summarized, prospect research on by put forward.

In Nitella the action curve has two peaks, apparently because both protoplasmic surfaces (inner and outer) are sensitive to K(+). Leaching in distilled water makes the outer surface insensitive to K(+). We may therefore expect the action curve to have only one peak. This expectation is realized. The action curve thus obtained resembles that of Chara which has an outer protoplasmic surface that ...

high temperatures are often encountered in almost all of the combustion systems, therefore, thermal radiation heat transfer can influence the droplets heat up rate and consequently their life time. in this paper, the effect of thermal radiation heat transfer is investigated for two cases of directional and spherically symmetric illuminations. the flow and temperature fields insdie and outside o...
