zirconium dioxide, commonly known as zirconia, is an interesting material and is receiving growing attention due to its excellent mechanical properties. the solid was characterized for surface area measurements, scanningelectron microscopy (sem), energy dispersive x-ray diffractometry (edx) and potentiometric titrations. surface titrations were carried out at the temperature range 303 to 323k i...

Micropuncture techniques have been used to study electrolyte secretion by the spontaneously secreting in vitro rabbit pancreas over a wide range of environmental conditions. Pancreatic secretion does not have a strong requirement for HCO3 and secretion continues at nearly normal rates when exogenous HCO3 is replaced by acetate. Acetate concentration in the juice averages 70 meq/liter, nearly th...

The PAN-based carbon fibers were modified using anodic oxidation method with different electrolyte such as sulfuric acid, sodium sulfate and sodium hydroxide for improving its surface properties and its composites interphase properties. It is well know that different electrolyte have different oxidizability and electrochemical characterization. The influence of different electrolytes on the eff...

The goal of dialysis for patients with chronic renal failure is to restore the composition of the body’s fluid environment toward normal. This is accomplished principally by formulating a dialysate whose constituent concentrations are set to approximate normal values in the body. Over time, by diffusional transfer along favorable concentration gradients, the concentrations of solutes that were ...
