Ionic regulation and acid-base balance are fundamental to the physiology of vertebrates including fish. Acidification of freshwater ecosystems is recognized as a global environmental problem, and the physiological responses to acid exposure in a few fish species are well characterized. However, the underlying mechanisms promoting ionic and acid-base balance for most fish species that have been ...

We investigate the effects of the relative dielectric coefficient on ionic flows in open ion channels, using mathematical analysis of reasonably general Poisson-Nernst-Planck type models that can include the finite sizes of ions. The value of the relative dielectric coefficient is of course a crucial parameter for ionic behavior in general. Using the powerful theory of singularly perturbed prob...

Many species of tardigrades are known to tolerate extreme environmental stress, yet detailed knowledge of the mechanisms underlying the remarkable adaptations of tardigrades is still lacking, as are answers to many questions regarding their basic biology. Here, we present data on the inorganic ion composition and total osmotic concentration of five different species of tardigrades (Echiniscus t...

The observed standard free energy change (AGtbs) for the ATP-pyrophosphorylase reaction (EC 3.6.1.8) has been calculated for near physjological conditions of temperature, ionic strength, and free magnesium concentration. The observed equilibrium constant (Kobs) for the acetyl-CoA synthetase reaction (EC 6.2.1.1) has been determined at both 25 and 38”, pH 7.0, ionic strength 0.25, and varying fr...

the determination of formation constants of binary inner transition metal complexes where m=y(iii) or la(iii) or ce(iii) or pr(iii) or nd(iii) or sm (iii) or gd (iii) or dy (iii) or th(iv) andl = creatinine have been carried out using irving–rossotti titration technique in aqueous mediaat different temperatures and at ionic strength. to understand more about the nature ofequilibrium involving i...

D/H exchange reactions at C2, C4 and C5 of the imidazolium cation were observed in catalytic hydrogenation reactions promoted by classical Ir(I) colloid precursors and [Ir(0)](n) nanoparticles dispersed in deuterated imidazolium ionic liquids indicating the participation of carbene species in this media. However, no D/H exchange reaction was observed in cyclohexene hydrogenation promoted by iri...

We construct a mean-field variational model to study how the dependence of dielectric coefficient (i.e., relative permittivity) on local ionic concentrations affects the electrostatic interaction in an ionic solution near a charged surface. The electrostatic free-energy functional of ionic concentrations, which is the key object in our model, consists mainly of the electrostatic potential energ...

To understand more about the nature ofequilibrium involving i...

Background: cold-induced aggregation micro extraction based (CIAME) based on ionic liquid was used as a rapid and simple method for determination trace amounts of cadmium and lead in milk powder by analysis with flame atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS). Methods: Sample solution containing of Cd2+ and Pb2+ in dynamic range, phosphate buffer (pH = 9, 3 ml), diethyl dithiocarbamate (complexin...

Adsorption of three sulfonamide antimicrobials to clay minerals was investigated as a function of pH, ionic strength, and type of exchangeable cation. Sulfonamide antimicrobial adsorption exhibited pronounced pH dependence consistent with sorbate speciation and clay properties. Sulfonamide antimicrobials did not intercalate into montmorillonite, and surface charge density influenced sorption by...
