The Miissbauer spectra and magnetic susceptibilities have been obtained for a series of Prussian Blue analogues of general formula MjAIMB(CN)&.mHzO where MA and MB are transition metal ions, j and k vary with the oxidation states of MA and MB and m typically has values from 8 to 14. The compounds were prepared from the hexacyano acids or with large quaternary ammonium counterions and are theref...

Our objective was to describe the process of alkali disposal in rats. Balance studies were performed while incremental loads of alkali were given to rats fed a low-alkali diet or their usual alkaline ash diet. Control groups received equimolar NaCl or KCl. Virtually all of the alkali was eliminated within 24 h when the dose exceeded 750 micromol. The most sensitive response to alkali input was ...

Sorption and cosorption of lead (Pb(II)) and methylene blue (MB) in aqueous solutions on low-cost biosorbents made from chemically modified agricultural by-products was investigated. Modified cotton exhibited the highest adsorption capacity for Pb(II), while modified cotton and peanut hull had higher equilibrium adsorption capacity of MB than the other biosorbents. Different chemical modificati...

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...

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...

Sovelli (1) described a color reaction for menadione, in which the compound was reacted with 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine, after which sodium hydroxide was added to alka1init.y. The green-colored product formed was extracted from the mixture with butyl alcohol. Attempts (24) have been made to apply this reaction quantitatively with variable results. Poor sensitivity, among ot)her things, was the ...

We identify the pressure–broadened red wings of the saturated potassium resonance lines at 7700 Å as the source of anomalous absorption seen in the near-infrared spectra of Gliese 229B and, by extension, of methane dwarfs in general. In broad outline, this conclusion is supported by the recent work of Tsuji et al. 1999. The WFPC2 I band measurement of Gliese 229B is also consistent with this hy...

Healing of corneal alkali injuries remains a severe clinical challenge. The authors evaluated the effect of a new synthetic inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinases (GM6001 or N-[2(R)-2-(hydroxamido carbonylmethyl)-4-methylpentanoyl]-L-tryptophane methylamide) on preventing ulceration of rabbit corneas after alkali injury. Topical treatment of corneas with severe alkali injuries with 400 microgra...
