The single crystals of calcium carbonate (calcite), barium carbonate and strontium carbonate have been grown in sodium meta silicate gel using the single and double diffusion methods at room temperature. The X-ray Lauetechnique is used to characterize the gel grown calcium carbonate crystal. It has been observed that the gel medium prevents the turbulence and helps the formation of good crystal...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the possible mode of action of a dentifrice containing 8% arginine and calcium carbonate (Pro-Argin Technology), and sodium monofluorophosphate in delivering the benefits of preventing acid erosion and rehardening acid-softened enamel. METHODS The surfaces of acid-softened bovine enamel specimens were evaluated after application of a dentifrice containing 8% arginine,...

PURPOSE To compare the Jay Sensitivity Sensor Probe (Jay Probe), a new microprocessor-based, pre-calibrated instrument, with well accepted methods used to evaluate sensitivity, i.e. tactile response to the Yeaple Probe, air blast (Schiff scale), and patient responses by Visual Analog Score (VAS). METHODS Jay Probe assessments were accomplished using several approaches. With a cohort of 12 sub...

Fluoride in aquatic systems is increasing due to anthropogenic pollution, but little is known about how this fluoride affects organisms that live in and around aquatic habitats. Fluoride can bioaccumulate in structures comprised of calcium carbonate, such as shells and skeletons of both freshwater and saltwater species as diverse as snails, corals, and coccolithophorid algae. In this article, i...

Air conditioner is an equipment which present in most buildings around the world, either serving to provide greater thermal comfort its users, or as part of industrial processes. This while operation produces water from condensation air contact with coil, has potential be used for non-potable purposes within buildings. study aims evaluate quality condensate conditioners purposes. Water collecti...

the effects of an azotobacter chrococum isolate (strain ag11) and vermicompost and their combined effects on a rain-fed winter wheat (var. zagros) nutrient uptake and growth and soil water content were investigated with a farm trial.  the dry matter yield was determined in 5 occasions. gravimetric soil water content, soil microbial respiration and the number of azotobacter were determined at sa...

Urinary calcium excretion is strongly related to net renal acid excretion. The catabolism of dietary protein generates ammonium ion and sulfates from sulfur-containing amino acids. Bone citrate and carbonate are mobilized to neutralize these acids, so urinary calcium increases when dietary protein increases. Common plant proteins such as soy, corn, wheat and rice have similar total S per g of p...
