We investigated the precipitation of carbonates by Nesterenkonia halobia in a liquid medium at different concentrations of salts and incubation times. N. halobia only produced crystals at salt concentrations of 2.5%, 7.5% and 15%. At 20% salt concentration no crystal formation was observed. Calcite, aragonite and dolomite were precipitated in different quantities, depending on the salinity of t...

Contamination by microscopic fungi and mycotoxins in high moisture corn (HMC) silages conserved by chemical additives was investigated. The samples were examined for the concentration and identification of microscopic fungi able to grow on Malt and Czapek-Dox agar and for mycotoxins content (deoxynivalenol, T-2 toxin, zearalenone and total aflatoxins, fumonisins, ochratoxins) by direct competit...

1. We measured ouabain-insensitive adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase), sodium, potassium-dependent adenosine triphosphatase (Na+,K+-ATPase) and intracellular Na+ and K+ in the erythrocytes of 19 healthy volunteers, before and after supplementation of their normal diet was 6.0-8.9 g of salt (102-137 mmol of NaCl) per day, for 5 days. 2. The subjects had a small but significant gain in weight. Mea...

An iodide ion-selective PVC membrane sensor based on copper (Π)-bis-Nphenilsalicyldenaminatocomplex as a novel sensing material is successfully developed. Theelectrode showed a good selectivity for iodide ion with respect to common inorganic anions. Thesensor exhibited a good linear response with slope of _58.6 ± 0.4 mV per decade over theconcentration range of 5.0 × 10-6 to 1.0 × 10-1 mol L-1,...

A dual-functional organic-inorganic hybrid (BEDT-TTF)2Cu2(HCOO)5 (1) (BEDT-TTF=bis(ethylenedithio)tetrathiafulvalene) was obtained through the electrochemical oxidation of neutral BEDT-TTF in the presence of an ammonium salt of the one-dimensional copper-formate framework [(C2H5)3NH]2Cu2(HCOO)5 in a C6H5Cl-C2H5OH solution. Compound 1 was composed of organic donor BEDT-TTF+0⋅5 in a θ-phase arran...

The title organic-inorganic salt, (C(7)H(11)N(2))(2)[LaCl(H(2)O)(8)]Cl(4)·3H(2)O, consists of two 4-(dimethyl-amino)-pyridinium and one [La(H(2)O)(8)Cl](2+) cations, four chloride anions and three solvent water mol-ecules. In the crystal, the various units are connected by N-H⋯Cl, O-H⋯Cl, O-H⋯O and N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming a network of alternating organic and inorganic layers. The 4-(dimet...

A new principle in compounding stable, granular bactericidal products led to unique combinations of a water-soluble inorganic bromide salt with a hypochlorite-type disinfectant of either inorganic or organic type. Microbiological results are shown for an inorganic bactericide composed of chlorinated trisodium phosphate containing 3.1% "available chlorine" and 2% potassium bromide, and for an or...

Salt, iron, and magnesium were just too good a combination for an inorganic chemist to resist and, on returning to Cincinnati, I purchased several of these meals in order to explore the chemistry of their “inorganic ovens”. This chemistry turns out to involve a very clever use of elementary thermodynamics, kinetics, and inorganic electrochemistry. Since this chemistry is easily understood by th...

in order to assess the effect of salinity constraint on some agro-physiological and biochemical traits in medicago sativa l., four alfalfa populations (tafilalet 1, tafilalet 2, demnate and tata), originated from mountains and oasis of morocco, were tested. the plants were grown under greenhouse conditions in pots filled with sand and peat under three salt treatments (0, 100 and 200 mm nacl). t...
