A method for controlling the gastric pH of rabbits to low acidity (pH > 4) by using different antacids was investigated, and the physiological state of rabbits during gastric-acidity control and repeated bioavailability tests was also examined in terms of hemocytological and clinicobiochemical parameters. Neither dried aluminum hydroxide gel (DAH) nor synthetic aluminum silicate (SAS) could ele...

Seedlings of "Xuegan" (Citrus sinensis) and "Sour pummelo" (Citrus grandis) were irrigated daily with a nutrient solution at a pH of 2.5, 3, 4, 5, or 6 for 9 months. Thereafter, the following responses were investigated: seedling growth; root, stem, and leaf concentrations of nutrient elements; leaf gas exchange, pigment concentration, ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase activity an...

The hydrolysis of p-nitrophenyl phosphate (pNPP) by calf intestinal alkaline phosphatase (CIAP) was investigated with respect to kinetic parameters such as V(max), K(m) and K(cat) under varying pH, buffers, substrate concentration, temperature and period of incubation. Highest activity was obtained with Tris-HCl at pH 11, while in the case of glycine-NaOH buffer the peak activity was recorded a...

              The present work is focused on the degradation of 4-chloro-2-nitrophenol in aqueous solution containing nano titanium dioxide, hydrogen peroxide and the combination of nano-TiO2/H2O2. The effect of experimental parameters, such as the amount of nano- TiO2 concentration of H2O2, initial concentration of 4-chloro-...

Several previously unavailable parameters of adenosine 3':5'-monophosphate have been determined. The molar extinction coefficient at pH 7.0 is 1.38 X 10(-4), the aqueous solubility at pH 7.0 is 0.0236 M and the diffusion coefficient is 4.44 X 10(-6) cm2/s.

The fatigue behavior of both bare and polymer coated silica optical fiber has been determined in various buffered pH solutions. Bare and polymer coated fibers were studied to distinguish any coating effects. Numerical integration techniques were utilized to fit the data to three kinetics models, and the fatigue parameters were calculated together with their corresponding confidence ellipses. Th...
