Ultramicro methods for the determination of serum urea nitrogen, uric acid, and creatinine have been evaluated and the results are re corded in reports VII, VIII, and IX, respectively. The method for the determination of urea nitrogen is an ultramicro adaptation of the reaction in which a blue color is developed when the ammonium ion reacts with phenol and hypochlorite. Ammonia is released from...

Nickel oxide (NiO) nano-size powder is synthesized using nickel (II) acetate tetrahydrate, sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) and ammonia as precursors. Applied surfactant is anionic surfactant. The sample was characterized by FT-IR, X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results obtained confirm the presence of nickel oxide nano-powders produced during chemical precipitation...

C293 physico-chemical properties. NN414 is a very weak acid with pKa = 8.5, log P = 1.6, and molar weight Mw = 291.8 g/mol. Two true polymorphs, A and B, of this compound have been identified. Polymorph A crystallizes in needleshaped crystals with a triclinic unit cell by precipitation from a variety of solvents such as acetic acid, acetonitrile, diluted ammonia, methanol, N-methyl-pyrrolidone,...

The synthesis protocols for encapsulation of metal clusters reported here expand the diversity in catalytic chemistries made possible by the ability of microporous solids to select reactants, transition states, and products on the basis of their molecular size. We report a synthesis strategy for the encapsulation of noble metals and their oxides within SOD (Sodalite, 0.28 nm × 0.28 nm), GIS (Gi...

A completely randomized experimental design was conducted to estimate ammonia excretion rate by red tilapia (Oreochromis sp.) during different stages of its growth in recirculating water system units typically designed to meet the experiment purposes. Eight weight groups each containing 75individuals of 20, 30, 40, 60, 80, 120, 180 and 200g average weight were considered as treatments in duplic...

[1] Atmospheric fronts are important for the day-to-day variability of weather in the midlatitudes, particularly during winter when extratropical storm-tracks are at their maximum intensity. Fronts are often associated with heavy rain, and strongly affect the local space-time distribution of rainfall. A recently developed objective front identification method that distinguishes between cold, wa...

ammonia is the chief excretory product in fishes. however, non-availability of enough of water in the habitat, may lead to the formation of urea, in fishes. in the present study, the possible role of urea formation to avoid the toxicity of ammonia under water-restricted condition was tested in channa gachua. circulatory urea and ammonia were estimated in the blood of the fishes and glutamate de...

this study was accomplished to examine the efficiency of natural zeolite in preventing acute toxicity of total ammonia to huso huso. the study was performed using water static method in 96 hours. fish averaged 46 ? 5 g in weight and 22 ? 4 cm in total length were exposed to four different concentrations (15, 30, 50, 75 mgl-1) of ammonia and a group was considered as control. under stable condit...

increasing the concentration of ammonia in water can cause fish death. this study was conducted to compare the performance of conditioned activated carbon and zeolite in ammonia (tan = total ammonia nitrogen) removal in a simulated transport of rainbow trout fry in 40-liter plastic bags. hence, responses of zeolite and conditioned activated carbon in ammonia (tan) removal at different concentra...
