1. The effects of agents that inactivate free radical nitric oxide (carboxy-PTIO, hydroxocobalamin and pyrogallol) were tested on relaxations produced by the nitroxyl anion (NO(-)) donor Angeli's salt in rat aortic rings and anococcygeus muscles. The amount of NO(*) generated from Angeli's salt in the presence of these agents was measured using a NO(*)-selective electrode sensor. 2. Carboxy-PTI...

An aqueous hybrid inorganic/organic sol-gel solution composed of tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS), methyltriethoxysilane (MTES) and (3-glycidyloxypropyl)trimethoxysilane (GPTMS) was applied on ZnFe (14 wt.% Fe) electrodeposited steel as a sacrificial layer. Two precursor contents were studied: 10 (SG10) 30 % (SG30). First, the morphology thickness films assessed by Scanning Electron Microscopy (S...

The adjustment of pesticide dose rates according to canopy size and leaf area density is not encouraged by current label formulations. However, experimental evidence shows that the application of a constant dose per unit ground area consistently results in average foliar deposits that are inversely proportional to the leaf area index (LAI) of the crop. Several methods for dose rate adjustment h...

the hypothesis of this experiment was that the various sources of dietary fat with different dietary ratios of polyunsaturated fatty acids (pufas) to saturated fatty acids (sfas) would alter the reproduction parameters of mature rams. twelve mature rams were randomly allotted to one of four dietary treatments in a completely randomized design. dietary treatments were: 1) ration with 4% soybean ...

Abstract Numerical models of variable‐density groundwater flow and salt transport are a primary tool for predicting salinity distributions in coastal aquifers estimating submarine discharge (SGD). Models particularly useful to estimate the saline component SGD, which can occur far offshore is difficult measure directly. Depending on system application, level geologic detail represented range fr...

Gas turbine materials often feature precipitates containing refractory metals to enhance their mechanical strength. This can make them susceptible alloy-induced acidic fluxing whereby elements increase the acidity of salt deposits. It is not clear what degree degradation around alloy caused by hot corrosion mechanisms, or inability develop a protective scale where are located. The effect was is...

Langenfeld, M. G. (University of South Dakota, Vermillion) and P. F. Smith. Phosphorus distribution in pleuropneumonia-like and L-type organisms. J. Bacteriol. 86:1216-1219. 1963.-Sterol-requiring and sterol-nonrequiring pleuropneumonia-like organisms, salt-requiring and salt-nonrequiring L forms, and their parent bacteria, were analyzed for total, acid-soluble, lipid, and nucleic acid phosphor...

in this study the effect of salt stress on banding patterns of superoxide dismutase (sod), catalase (cat) and peroxidase (pox) in 18 genotypes of white common bean (phaseolus vulgaris l.) were examined under two levels of nacl )0 and 400 mm) stress. for each isozymic band the “density × area” scores on gels were evaluated by mcid software and considered as enzymatic activity. three isozymes wer...
