Some of the ultrastructural (freeze-etching technique), morphological, and biochemical effects of Sendai virus interaction with chicken erythrocytes have been studied under fusogenic (in the presence of CaCl2) and nonfusogenic (in the presence of ethyleneglycol-bis-N,N'-tetraacetic acid, [EGTA]) conditions. The following phenomena occur, irrespective of the presence of CaCl2 or EGTA: (a) bindin...

the purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of nano-silver (ns), calcium chloride (cacl2) and their combinations on gerbera jamesonii ‘carambole’ cut flowers. the experiment was conducted as a completely randomized design (crd) with 10 treatments and four replications, with three flowers in each replication. treatments consisted of 5 mg l-1 ns, 1% and 2% cacl2, 5 mg l-1 ns+ 1% cacl2, ...

Salt hydrates have issues of supercooling when they are utilized as phase change materials (PCMs). In this research, a new method was adopted to prepare a salt hydrate PCM (based on a mixture of calcium chloride dihydrate and calcium chloride anhydrous) as a novel PCM system to reduce the supercooling phenomenon existing in CaCl₂·6H₂O. Six samples with different compositions of CaCl₂ were prepa...

The effect of various concentrations of CaCl2 and KCl on egg white proteins during isoelectric precipitation of ovomucin was investigated in this study. At low concentrations of CaCl2 (<50 mM), lysozyme was the major contaminant in the precipitated ovomucin, whereas ovalbumin was the predominant one at high concentrations (>or=100 mM). At 50 mM CaCl2 concentration, the concentrations of both ly...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of exposure of the mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) - with and without calcium chloride (CaCl2) - to phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) on the apical microleakage using a glucose leakage system. MATERIAL AND METHODS Sixty root segments were randomly divided into 4 experimental groups (n=15). After resecting the apical segments and enl...

The cell bodies of the lingual branch of the trigeminal nerve were localized in the trigeminal ganglion using extracellular recordings together with horseradish peroxidase labeling from the tongue. Individual lingual nerve fibers were characterized with regard to their conduction velocities, receptive fields, and response to thermal, mechanical, and chemical stimuli. Fibers were classified as C...

Fibers are important microstructural elements in many foods and calcium alginate fibers may find applications in the structuring of many food analogues. Fiber properties depend largely on their uniform diameter and mechanical properties. The main objective of this research is to production of fibers calcium alginate of regular diameter and to present the effect of concentrations sodium alginate...
