A 36x24 mm Active Pixel Sensor imaging area device is studied which would be ideal for use with standard 35 mm cameras. By applying multichip methods to Active Pixel Sensors, the 39x30 mm system contains on board all the control circuitry and A/D converters, so the system outputs digital data. The large area requires a redundancy of design for a high yield. This starts with the Active Pixel cel...

abstractbackground and purpose nowadays, the application of antioxidants and plant growth regulators has discussed for decreasing the negative effect of different stresses. ascorbic acid and sodium nitroprusside have substance caused witch the resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses. to evaluate the effect of ascorbic acid and sodium nitroprusside foliar application on some traits of safflowe...

A glutamate-binding protein was solubilized from rat brain synaptic plasma membranes using sodium cholate. Its properties were characterized after addition of exogenous phospholipids and formation of proteoliposomes. Glutamate binding was dependent on calcium and chloride ions with maximal binding at concentrations of 10(-5) M calcium and 10 mM chloride ions. The effects of the two ions were sy...

Reducing the amounts consumed of organic solvents while keeping good chromatographic performance has been a significant step towards greening analytical methodologies. When sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and Brij-35 surfactants are combined in mobile phase, they can be used as green alternative to modifiers. Surfactants have numerous advantages, including low cost toxicity, safe environmental dis...

BACKGROUND Addition of up to 15.0 g/d salt to the diet of chimpanzees caused large rises in blood pressure, which reversed when the added salt was removed. Effects of more modest alterations to sodium intakes in chimpanzees, akin to current efforts to lower sodium intakes in the human population, are unknown. METHODS AND RESULTS Sodium intakes were altered among 17 chimpanzees in Franceville,...

Firefly luciferase, one of the most extensively studied enzymes, has numerous applications. However, luciferase activity is inhibited by sodium chloride. This study was aimed at obtaining mutant enzymes resistant to chloride inhibition. We first obtained two whose inhibition were alleviated and determined mutations be Val288Ile Glu488Val. Under medical dialysis condition (140 mM chloride), wild...

soil salinity affects a large part of the region in iran. salinity covers 12.5% oftotal area of the country. priming of seeds in sodium chloride and water (hydro-priming)has been reported to be a simple technique for enhancing the seedling establishment andgermination performance in the seeds of many crops and small seeded grasses under thestress conditions. therefore, the aim of this research ...

The epoxy coatings containing multi-walled carbon nanotube/ poly ortho aminophenol nanocomposite were prepared and used as anticorrosive coatings. The nanocomposites with different contents of carbon nanotube were synthesized in a solution of sodium dodecyl sulfate and ammonium peroxy disulfate as a surfactant and an oxidant, respectively. The morphology and structural properties were confirmed...

UNLABELLED Calcium chloride fermentations represent an alternative to reduce chloride concentrations in the wastewaters generated from commercial cucumber fermentations, currently performed in cover brine solutions containing 6% to 12% sodium chloride. However, preliminary attempts to commercially ferment the cucumbers in the presence of oxygen led to the development of a secondary cucumber fer...

nabro3 combined with nh4cl is found to be an efficient reagent for the transformation of sulfides into sulfoxides in aqueous and under mild conditions.
