Method: In Study 1, 57 children (mean age 10.11 years) were tested individually. In one occasion children were given a drink of water (500 millilitres) and on the other occasion they were not. They completed a selection of cognitive tasks and a finger-tapping task pre and post-intervention; a urine sample was collected and urine osmolality (Uosm) analysed. In Study 2, 86 children (mean age 10.1...

O S M O T I C (os) mutants of N . crassa are those whose growth is inhibited by high osmolalities. The usual operational definition is inhibition of growth of the mutant strains by the addition of 4% NaCl to the growth medium (PERKINS 1959). Prior to the present investigation, a group of os mutants had been mapped on linkage group IR, at approximately 90 map units from the centromere (PERKINS 1...

INTRODUCTION The primary objective was to evaluate the effect of ad libitum vs. restricted fluid replacement protocol on hydration markers and performance in selected military tasks. The secondary objective was to determine if 300 ml x h(-1) could be considered a safe minimum fluid intake under the experimental conditions. METHODS Data were collected simulating a route march over 16 km. There...

the effect of different levels of osmolality and ph of lactose extender on the viability of bactrian camelspermatozoa was investigated. semen was collected from 10 bactrian camel bulls using modified bovineartificial vagina. in experiment i, the extenders consisted of 9, 10, 11, 12 and 13% lactose with respectiveosmolalities of 290, 333, 350, 376 and 419 mosm/kg and the ph of 6.9. in experiment...

the relation between serum osmolality, glucose, sodium, bicarbonate, arterial ph, bun and level of consciousness was studied in 189 patients with diabetic ketoacidosis (dka). there was much overlap between all laboratory values among various groups, even when there was a statistically significant difference. to find a better predictor, we defined a new factor as serum osmolality/arterial ph. th...

In this research series, several sugar beet molasses of different osmolalities were inoculated with a mix the following microorganisms, Escherichia coli, Salmonella spp. and Listeria monocytogenes, to develop mathematical models correlations effect levels osmolality exposure time viability selected microorganisms. The respective enumerations spp., Enterobacteriaceae, total plate count conducted...
