Calcium concentration and its regulation was examined in
tissues of larval Rana catesbiana. Considerable variability was
found in tissue calcium that could not be explained by stage of development.
A seasonal effect was observed, with plasma calcium decreasing
and muscle calcium increasing during winter. Total plasma
calcium concentration reflects, within...
Scaling characteristics of calcium carbonate on a
heated surface in cooling tower water was investigated.
Bulk temperature was maintained constant at 95°F. Flow
velocities and surface temperatures ranged from 3 ft/sec to
10.3 ft/sec and from 105°F to 170°F respectively. City
water was used as make-up for two different water...
There is renewed interest in North America for the use of calcium aluminate cement (CAC) in infrastructure repair. The interest is driven by the specialty properties that make CAC the ideal candidate for particular applications. These include rapid strength gain, even at temperatures approaching 0°C, the ability to customize fresh...
Cucumber, pea, bean, and corn excised roots were used to
assess species differences in metabolic uptake of calcium It was
found that Ca was mostly taken up by these root systems by non-metabolic
processes. The apparent free space ranged from 26 to 28
percent of the total root volume and...
This experiment was designed to investigate the in vivo effects of calcium ions on tetracycline absorption when oral doses of tetracycline and calcium-containing medications were administered concurrently. Twenty-one human volunteers were selected and divided into three equal-sized groups: Group A, Group B, and Group C. Each volunteer in Group A...
