Quantification of precipitation hardening is a challenging subject as it demands combined knowledge of precipitation strengthening mechanism and precipitate growth/coarsening kinetics. Having not seen many attempts on developing new theories in recent years, the authors are aware of the fact that many existing concepts and developed theories are sometimes even neglected or misused. This article...

The combination of sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) and chlorhexidine (CHX) forms a precipitate. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of irrigating root canals with a combination of NaOCl and CHX on root dentin and dentinal tubules by using the environmental scanning electron microscope (ESEM) and a computer program (Photoshop CS2). Forty-four extracted single-rooted human teeth were ins...

1. Antisera have been produced in chickens with specific precipitates from Type II pneumococcus horse and rabbit antisera. 2. Specific precipitates from anti-Types I and II pneumococcus horse sera removed the same amount of antibody from the chicken anti-horse specific precipitate serum. Specific precipitates from horse antisera to diphtheria toxin and to crystalline egg albumin removed about o...

SYNOPSIS The statement made in some standard textbooksthatBenedict'squalitativetestgivesa green, yellow, or orange-red precipitate with pure solutions of glucose of varying strength has been shown to be incorrect. Pure solutions ofglucose give only a bright red precipitate at all concentrations. These changes in the colour of the suspensions are observed with urinary glucose only. The differenc...

ÐThe interaction between dislocations and semicoherent precipitates (O phase) is discussed. The investigation shows that the semicoherent precipitate is cut by dislocations during deformation. Conventional TEM and HRTEM observations demonstrate that shearing of precipitates by dislocations occurs by multiple cutting of the precipitate. A strengthening mechanism is proposed based on this observa...

The addition of a water-clear extract of pneumococci to homologous antiserum produces a voluminous precipitate which carries down with it the agglutinins and practically the totality of the protective bodies against pneumococcus infection in animals. This precipitate when washed and resuspended in saline solution to the original volume of serum protects as well as the whole serum. The protein c...

A 10 % solution of silver nitrate in 10 % acetic acid has been widely used to show the presence of ascorbic acid in microscopical preparations (Bourne, 1936; Giroud, 1938). When there is ascorbic acid in the cells a black precipitate of metallic silver is obtained. This precipitate is often observed to be on or in the Golgi material, and it has been supposed that where this is the case the asco...
