The extraction of nematodes from clay soil is difficult using flotation-sieving methods of soil-water suspensions. Aggregated soil particles trap nematodes and prevent them from passing through the top coarse sieves during decanting. Also, the soil aggregates clog the sieves which slows the decanting operation. In addition, clay particles are difficult to clean from centrifuge tubes that are us...

Preferential expansion of the plasma volume by infusion of salt-poor hyperoncotic albumin solution decreases sodium reabsorption by the proximal tubule. The present micropuncture studies test the thesis that albumin infusion depresses proximal reabsorption by an effect unrelated to expansion of the plasma volume, perhaps due to an effect of parathyroid hormone (PTH) on proximal sodium reabsorpt...

Hyponatremia and increased urine output after calvarial remodeling have been noted in pediatric patients with craniosynostosis. If not treated properly, patients develop hypoosmotic conditions that can lead to cerebral edema, increased intracranial pressure, and collapsed circulation. Postoperative hyponatremia after central nervous system surgery is considered as the syndrome of inappropriate ...

The kidney and the brain play a major role in maintaining normal homeostasis of the extracellular fluid by neuroendocrine regulation of sodium and water balance. Therefore, disturbances of sodium balance are common in patients with central nervous system (CNS) disorders and clinicians should focus not only on the CNS lesion, but also on the potentially deleterious complications. Hyponatremia is...

Sausage is a popular processed meat product and its consumption has significantly increased over the past 20 years. Sodium nitrite used to impart distinct red color cured flavor sausage during production. Moreover, sodium inhibits lipid oxidation growth of pathogenic microorganisms in sausage. Despite these advantages, it advisable replace reduce use since sausages with are classified as Group ...

This paper presents an innovative approach towards the development of a green concrete. The geopolymer is environmentally friendly construction/repairing material. In addition, glass fibers are helpful to influence strength properties and reduce hair line cracks bleeding in study based on use fly ash as partial replacement cement and, subsequently, its effect compressive split tensile manufactu...

Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) are promising candidates for the replacement of lithium-ion (LIBs) because sodium’s abundant reserves and lower cost sodium compared to lithium. This is a topic interest developing novel anodes with high storage capacity. Owing their low cost, stability, conductivity, carbon-based materials have been studied extensively. However, sp2-C based carbon low-rate capacitie...

This article discusses the effects of glass powder (GP) replacements and sodium hydroxide (NaOH) molarity on rheological, fresh, mechanical microstructure characteristics slag-based mechanochemical geopolymer (MG) grout. A conventionally activated grout an ordinary Portland cement (OPC) were also investigated for comparison. Four replacement ratios used (0%, 10%, 20% 30% by total precursor weig...

In response to the future net zero emissions plan in Taiwan, campus shoulders university’s social responsibility and educational significance. Recently, energy conservation carbon reduction have become common goals for every campus. However, there is a problem be addressed terms of how take into account economic benefits continuous improvement strategy regarding actual demands. this study, syst...
