In this paper we investigate the possibility to detect the hypothesized liquid-liquid critical point of water in supercooled aqueous solutions of salts. Molecular dynamics computer simulations are conducted on bulk TIP4P water and on an aqueous solution of sodium chloride in TIP4P water, with concentration c = 0.67 mol/kg. The liquid-liquid critical point is found both in the bulk and in the so...

understanding of physiological responses of salt tolerance might be lead to identify main salt tolerance mechanisms and essential approaches for improving grain yield stability, and also to select salt tolerant wheat cultivars. thus, the effects of salinity were investigated on grain yield and some of the characteristics related to salt tolerance. six wheat cultivars (roshan, kavir, karchia, ga...

Lead, cadmium, mercury and arsenic are the most important heavy metals which may cause health risks following consumption of contaminated foods. Table salt is one the mostly used food additive with unique place in food consumption. Although purified table salt is expected to have lower level of contamination, some Iranians still prefer to use rock salt. Use of rock salt for food purposes has be...

hybrid populations (f3) derived from cross between four moderate salt-resistant spring wheat (triticum aestivum l.) were assessed for transgressive segregation of salt-tolerant genotypes allowing germination and emergence at 350 mm nacl for 30 days. the achieved selection intensity was the order of 0.24-0.27 in these segregation populations (22-25 seedlings from 9000 seeds). assessment of trans...

were slightly but significantly higher in the low fibre group (Table VII.3)." Their findings were subsequently confirmed in a study conducted by Lawrence Appel and his co-workers. At the end of a three week run in and eight weeks of controlled diets, volunteer subjects whose blood pressures were initially comparable diverged. The control subjects who were continued on a typical North American d...

the biosorption of hexavelent chromium from saline solutions by posidonia oceanica, a marinebiomass, was studied as a function of ph, initial chromium (vi) and salt (nacl) concentrations in batchsystem. the sorbent exhibited the maximal chromium (vi) uptake at ph 2 regardless of the presence ofincreasing salt concentration. equilibrium uptake increased with chromium (vi) concentration up to 250...

rapeseed (brassica napus l.) is a crop relatively tolerant to salt. the effect of different ratios of nacl/kcl was studied in two cultivars (hyola308 and kristina) of rapeseed in 2002. canola seedlings were grown in hoagland’s solutions, which were salinized by different ratios of nacl/kcl. the treatments or kcl:nacl ratios were 0:0 (control);10:10; 20:0 (total added salt or tas=20 mol.m-3), 0:...
