Gottlieb, Helmut B., Lisa L. Ji, Heath Jones, Maurice L. Penny, Tiffany Fleming, and J. Thomas Cunningham. Differential effects of water and saline intake on water deprivation-induced c-Fos staining in the rat. Am J Physiol Regul Integr Comp Physiol 290: R1251–R1261, 2006. First published November 23, 2005; doi:10.1152/ajpregu.00727.2005.—We studied c-Fos staining in adult male rats after 48 h ...

We studied c-Fos staining in adult male rats after 48 h of water deprivation and after 46 h of water deprivation with 2 h of access to water or physiological saline. Controls were allowed ad libitum access to water and physiological saline. For immunocytochemistry, anesthetized rats were perfused with a commercially available antibody for c-Fos. Dehydration significantly increased plasma vasopr...

We have examined the osmoregulatory capacities of laboratory populations of the insect Drosophila melanogaster by measuring hemolymph osmotic concentration during desiccation and upon recovery from a bout of desiccation. Recovery treatments entailed allowing the flies access to distilled water, a saline solution or a saline+sucrose solution after a desiccation bout shown to reduce hemolymph vol...

The objective of the work was to evaluate interference saline water in seeds germination several species economic interest. experiment developed at Laboratory Support Teaching, Research and Extension Experimental Farm Agricultural Sciences, Grand Dourados Federal University, municipality Dourados, Mato Grosso do Sul state, Brazil. tests were performed separately for each species, thus, one has ...

Previous work has shown that a short non-saline sprinkling, following saline sprinkling, increased crop growth. We incorporated this finding into an investigation of two approaches to the conjunctive use of saline and non-saline water sources for sprinkler irrigation of potatoes viz., (i) mixing waters prior to application, and (ii) keeping waters temporally separate, that is commencing each ir...

The existing knowledge regarding seawater intrusion and particularly upconing, in which both problems are linked to pumping, entirely relies on theoretical assumptions. Therefore, in this paper, an attempt is made to capture the effects of pumping on seawater intrusion and upconing using 2D resistivity measurement. For this work, two positions, one perpendicular and the other parallel to the se...
