Ovine carcasses were arterially infused with a volume equal to 10% of the live weight after electrical stimulation. The infusion solutions contained .075 M, .15 M or .3 M calcium chloride. Results indicated that .3 M calcium chloride treatment was the most effective concentration of CaCl2 to reduce the shear force value measured at 24 h postmortem. To examine the contribution of ionic strength ...

Calcium alginate membrane has great potential for membrane separation technology. The polymer frameworks of the membrane were successfully regulated by the mass fraction of homopolymeric blocks of -L-guluronic acid (FGG) in the entire molecular chain of alginate and the additive CaCl2 as a cross-linker. The mechanical strength can be controlled by regulated the FGG and CaCl2 concentration. Sele...

Grain-finished Hereford x Angus steers (n = 36) were assigned to one of three treatmentgroups. Immediately after jugular exsanguination, 12 steers were infused at 10% of live weight via the left carotid artery with a solution developed by MPSC, Inc. (St. Paul, MN) consisting of 98.52% water, 0.97% saccharides, 0.23% sodium chloride, and 0.28% phosphate blend (MPSC); 12 steers were infused at 10...

the purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of nano-silver (ns), calcium chloride (cacl2) and their combinations on gerbera jamesonii ‘carambole’ cut flowers. the experiment was conducted as a completely randomized design (crd) with 10 treatments and four replications, with three flowers in each replication. treatments consisted of 5 mg l-1 ns, 1% and 2% cacl2, 5 mg l-1 ns+ 1% cacl2, ...

Salt hydrates have issues of supercooling when they are utilized as phase change materials (PCMs). In this research, a new method was adopted to prepare a salt hydrate PCM (based on a mixture of calcium chloride dihydrate and calcium chloride anhydrous) as a novel PCM system to reduce the supercooling phenomenon existing in CaCl₂·6H₂O. Six samples with different compositions of CaCl₂ were prepa...

The effect of various concentrations of CaCl2 and KCl on egg white proteins during isoelectric precipitation of ovomucin was investigated in this study. At low concentrations of CaCl2 (<50 mM), lysozyme was the major contaminant in the precipitated ovomucin, whereas ovalbumin was the predominant one at high concentrations (>or=100 mM). At 50 mM CaCl2 concentration, the concentrations of both ly...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of exposure of the mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) - with and without calcium chloride (CaCl2) - to phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) on the apical microleakage using a glucose leakage system. MATERIAL AND METHODS Sixty root segments were randomly divided into 4 experimental groups (n=15). After resecting the apical segments and enl...

The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling pathway on thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA) development. The study used a calcium chloride (CaCl2)‑induced rat TAA model to explore the potential role of mTOR signaling pathway in the disease development. Adult male Sprague‑Dawley rats underwent the periarterial exposure of thoracic ao...

Fibers are important microstructural elements in many foods and calcium alginate fibers may find applications in the structuring of many food analogues. Fiber properties depend largely on their uniform diameter and mechanical properties. The main objective of this research is to production of fibers calcium alginate of regular diameter and to present the effect of concentrations sodium alginate...
