... The rheological performance of bacterial cellulose and carboxymethyl cellulose (BC:CMC) dry formulations with mass ratios of 1:1, 1:0.75 and 1:0.5 was compared with that of a commercial xanthan gum. The zero-shear viscosity and the yield stress of these hydrocolloids, at concentrations ranging from 0.001% to 0.5% (w/w), were determined by fitting the Cross and Herschel-Bulkley models to the flow c ...
... The study described the synthesis, characterization, and application of newly prepared sulfathiazole-modified amide/imide co-polymers for the extraction of trace Sb(III) from edible vegetable oils. The method was based on the pH-dependent complexation between Sb(III) and chelators as a result of charge transfer via tautomerization in presence of the mixed ionic surfactants in 5%(v/v) 2-propanol, 1 ...

... This study compared the plasma progesterone concentrations from pregnant and non‐pregnant buffaloes to identify non‐pregnant females and submit cows earlier to oestrous resynchronization. Forty‐four multiparous mix‐breed Murrah buffaloes were selected for the study. The cows were subjected to hormonal oestrous synchronization and separated into 4 groups, P12 (pregnant, n = 8) and P18 (n = 8) at 12 ...
... Direct sonication with probe is one of the most efficient way to disperse nanoparticles and to obtain a stable nanofluid. However, tip erosion during the sonication process may contaminate the dispersion and alter the characterization of the nanofluid. The contaminating alloy particles are generally bigger than the nanoparticles so they will segregate first and then alter the stability tests condu ...
centrifugation, etc ; calcium oxalate; filtration; sodium; Show all 4 Subjects
Abstract:
... Although calcium oxalate (CaOx) crystals are present in many plants they are poorly studied. A possible limitation is the lack of methods for CaOx crystals isolation at high concentration and high purity, which is required for the analysis of their associated biomolecules such as proteins. To our knowledge, there are only four works that have isolated proteins from CaOx crystals. Those methods bas ...

Abstract:
... The most frequently used method to harvest microalgae on an industrial scale is centrifugation, although this has very high energy costs. To reduce these costs, a continuous electrocoagulation process for harvesting Chlorella vulgaris was developed and tested using a pilot-scale 111 L working volume device consisting of an electrolyser with iron electrodes, aggregation channel and lamellar settler ...

Abstract:
... Quantitative characterization of nanoparticles (NPs) in marine shellfish is critical to understanding the risks of bio-accumulation. Based on single particle (sp)ICP-MS and electron microscopy, a standardized protocol was developed to extract Ag, Au, and indigenous Ti-containing NPs from mussels. The optimal parameters are: dry sample extraction with tetramethylammonium hydroxide (TMAH), 5% (v/v) ...
