Energy obtained from renewable sources has increased its participation in the energy matrix worldwide, and it is expected to maintain this tendency. Both in large and small scales, there have been numerous developments and research with the aim of generating fuels and energy using different raw materials such as alternative crops, algae and waste cooking oil. Capparis spinosa seed (containing 3...

The objective of this study was to investigate the potential of liposomes containing bile salts as an ophthalmic delivery system for tacrolimus to improve corneal permeability. Liposomes containing bile salts, including sodium taurocholate, sodium deoxycholate, and sodium glycocholate, were produced by the thin-film dispersion method with a particle size of approximately 100 nm and an entrapmen...

The effect of three organic aromatic salts - Phenyltrimethylammonium (PhTMAB), benzyltrimethylammonium (BzTMAB) and benzyltrimethylammonium (BzTEAB) bromides - on the micellization of sodium dodecylsulfate has been investigated by conductometric method. The critical micelle concentration (CMC) values were found to decrease with increase in the concentration of the aromatic ammonium salts. Therm...

IN a previous paper [Clifford, 1925] the effects of the halogen salts of sodium, potassium, ammonium, and calcium on salivary digestion were described. These salts were found to vary in their action on ptyalin, some delaying digestion, others being inert, and some increasing the speed of reaching the achromic point. It was thought advisable to continue the investigation with other enzymes, and ...

THE effect of halogen salts on salivary and peptic digestion has been described previously [Clifford, 1925; 1927; 1928], and in this paper an account is given of their action on tryptic digestion. The earliest work on the subject appears to be that of Pfeiffer [1884] who found that, with the exception of sodium carbonate, all salts, especially sodium chloride, retard tryptic digestion. Later, W...

A hydroceramic waste form is designed specifically to solidify and isolate sodium bearing waste (SBW) in storage at various U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) sites. The acidic waste produced during reprocessing of fuel rods was over-neutralized with sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and stored in underground tanks at DOE’s Hanford and Savannah River sites. Concentrations of NaOH in the SBW can range from 4...

The major electrolyte change for a man working and living at 5.34 to 5.80 km. was shown by Dill and coworkers (1) to be a decrease in bicarbonate and sodium content of the serum and some increase in its chloride content. It was demonstrated by Davies, Haldane, and Kennaway (2) and by Leathes (3) that forced breathing of air resulted in a diuresis of an alkaline urine. It was also shown (2) that...
