Turbidity measurements are inexpensive and can be performed rapidly and simply. Therc has bccn a necessity to develope a technique which could bc utiliscd with some degree of confidence to identify certain conditions rclatcd to potentially problcrnalic sugars. Nephelometric turbidity measurements were performed on a number of raw sugars and correlated with filterability dctcrmined routinely usi...

Maclagan (1944a) demonstrated that phenol and certain derivatives when dissolved in barbiturate buffer at pH 7.8 produced a turbidity with human sera. He observed that under specified conditions sera from normal persons gave a negligible turbidity, and the most marked turbidities occurred with sera from patients suffering from parenchymatous liver damage. The concentrations of phenol or phenol ...

It was observed by Maclagan that turbidity is produced in a barbital buffer saturated with thymol when specimens of serum from patients with diseases of the liver are added (1, 2). The degree of turbidity apparently varied with the degree of hepatic parenchymal damage. An analysis of the precipitate demonstrated that it contained globulin, phospholipid, cholesterol, and thymol. The mechanism of...

The effect of vanadate on the ATP-induced disruption of trypsin-treated axonemes and the ATP-induced straightening of rigor wave preparations of sea urchin sperm was investigated. Addition of ATP to a suspension of trypsin-treated axonemes results in a rapid decrease in turbidity (optical density measured at 350 nm) concomitant with the disruption of the axonemes by sliding between microtubules...

Is it possible to derive accurately Total Suspended Matter concentration or its proxy, turbidity, from remote sensing data in tropical coastal lagoon waters? To investigate this question, hyperspectral remote sensing reflectance, turbidity and chlorophyll pigment concentration were measured in three coral reef lagoons. The three sites enabled us to get data over very diverse environments: oligo...

background: ocsillator system is recognized by many water plant treatment designers for having many advantages, such as combination of mixing processes, flocculation and sedimentation processes in the same unit, the possibility of softening and lucidity simultaneously, and relatively acceptable efficiency. despite using this process in number of the regions in the country, enough researches hav...

PURPOSE In this study, we investigated the biochemical pharmacology of pirenoxine (PRX) and catalin under in vitro selenite/calcium- and ultraviolet (UV)-induced lens protein turbidity challenges. The systemic effects of catalin were determined using a selenite-induced cataractogenesis rat model. METHODS In vitro cataractogenesis assay systems (including UVB/C photo-oxidation of lens crystall...

Soiling is responsible for a loss of 3%–4% the potential global solar power production that estimated to rise because increased deployment in dusty environments [Ilse et al., Joule 3, 2303–2321 (2019)]. For effective mitigation strategies and site selection soiling ratio data crucial. can be measured directly by comparing or short circuit current soiled PV cell module clean photovoltaic (PV) de...
