Soil salt-alkalization is a major limiting factor for crop production in many regions. Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) is a warm-season C4 perennial rhizomatous bunchgrass and a target lignocellulosic biofuel species. The objective of this study was to evaluate relative alkali-salt tolerance among 30 switchgrass lines. Tillers of each switchgrass line were transplanted into pots filled with f...

Physicochemical properties of surimi and kamaboko obtained of solubility in acid, alkaline and conventional methods were compared. The results indicated that the highest protein recovery was related to solubility in acid, alkaline and conventional methods, respectively. The highest removal of lipid and myoglobin was observed by solubility in alkali. Excretion of total pigment and sulfhydryl gro...

the properties of alkaline sulfite anthraquinone (as/aq) pulp from old corrugated container (occ)was studied. in each trial 100 grams (based on dry weigth) of occ and 18% active alkali was used.three levels of anthraquinone (0.0.1 and 0.2% based on dry weigth of the occ) and two pulpingtimes (120 and 150 minutes at maximum pulping temperature) were applied. pulping temperature,na2so3/naoh ratio...

Greenwald and Lewman (1) described a method in which the protein and carbonic acid of blood are removed by picric acid, so that the alkali of the proteinates and bicarbonate is replaced by an equivalent of alkali picrate, which is measured. The picric acid precipitates the protein and frees the COZ, which is boiled off from the filtrate. The alkali picrate is measured as total picric acid minus...

The ingestion of calcium, along with alkali, results in a well-described triad of hypercalcemia, metabolic alkalosis, and renal insufficiency. Over time, the epidemiology and root cause of the syndrome have shifted, such that the disorder, originally called the milk-alkali syndrome, is now better described as the calcium-alkali syndrome. The calcium-alkali syndrome is an important cause of morb...

At ambient pressure there are 29 elemental superconductors in the periodic table, none of which is an alkali metal. The first alkali metal to become superconducting under high pressure is Cs followed years later by Li. Alkali metals are believed to be exemplary free-electron systems. The fact that an alkali metal becomes superconducting at all is surprising and is a result of the fact that unde...

The effects of alkali oxides on the structure and on the catalytic behavior of MoOx/ZrO2 were examined for the oxidative dehydrogenation (ODH) of propane. X-ray diffraction, Raman and X-ray absorption spectroscopy, and estimates of the MoOx surface density are consistent with the predominant presence of two-dimensional polymolybdate domains in samples with ∼4 Mo/nm2 surface density and (alkali/...

Alkali-enriched diets are recommended for humans to diminish the net acid load of their usual diet. In contrast, herbivores have to deal with a high dietary alkali impact on acid-base balance. Here we explore the role of nutritional alkali in experimentally induced chronic metabolic acidosis. Data were collected from healthy male adult rabbits kept in metabolism cages to obtain 24-h urine and a...

This work is intended to provide a better understanding about the properties and roles of the reaction rim in an alkali-silica reaction. A simplified calcium-alkali-silicate system was created to simulate the multiple interactions among reactive silica, alkaline solution and portlandite near the aggregate surface during the formation and evolution of the reaction rim in an alkali-silica reactio...
