TL;DR: In this article, the effect of various process parameters on the phase purity, crystallite size, specific surface area and morphology of the synthesized nanocrystals were systematically studied by XRD, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), simultaneous TG/DSC and BET measurements.

TL;DR: In this paper, 10 years old Balady mandarin trees grown under sandy soil conditions were treated with girdling before blossoming and sprayed with 1 or 2% potassium nitrate or di-potassium hydrogen phosphate twice at the beginning of April and ten weeks later (mid June).
Abstract: Ten years old Balady mandarin trees grown under sandy soil conditions were treated with girdling before blossoming (late Dec.) and sprayed with 1 or 2% potassium nitrate or di-potassium hydrogen phosphate twice at the beginning of April and ten weeks later (mid June). Results concluded that girdling plus potassium sprays specially potassium nitrate at any concentration had a positive effect on nitrogen and potassium percentages, total carbohydrate, total chlorophyll and chlorophyll (a) content in the leaves, which reflected on increasing fruit weight, number of fruits per tree and finally yield weight per tree. Also such treatments enhanced fruit volume, soluble solids content and SSC/acid ratio. On the other hand, the same treatments reduced juice percentage in the fruit and had no effect on phosphorus and chlorophyll (b) content in the leaves, acidity and vitamin C in juice of the fruit.

24 Jul 1995TL;DR: A two component desensitizing dentifrice composition is described in this paper, which consists of a first component containing a desensitized potassium salt such as potassium nitrate and a second component containing an alternative desitizing agent other than a potassium salt the such as SnF2.
Abstract: A two component desensitizing dentifrice composition is disclosed which comprises a first dentifrice component containing a desensitizing potassium salt such as potassium nitrate and a second dentifrice component containing a second desensitizing agent other than a potassium salt the such as SnF2, the second desensitizing agent being incompatible with the potassium salt, the first and second dentifrice components being maintained separate from the other until dispensed for application to teeth requiring relief from dentine hypersensitivity.

06 Jun 1997TL;DR: A water soluble chemical composition for use as a soil stabilizer, conditer and structuring agent includes a dispersing agent such as a polyanionic sulfonated urea-melamine formaldehyde condensate, an aggregating agent, having relative weight average molecular weights between 400 to 10,000 and polydispersity between 2.5 to 10 as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract: A water soluble chemical composition for use as a soil stabilizer, conditer and structuring agent includes a dispersing agent such as a polyanionic sulfonated urea-melamine formaldehyde condensate, an aggregating agent such as a non-ionic water soluble urea-formaldehyde condensate having relative weight average molecular weights between 400 to 10,000 and polydispersity between 2.5 to 10, and a basic salt like di-sodium tetra borate and/or a neutral salt like sodium chloride and a nitrogen potassium or phosphorous containing compound such as potassium nitrate, phosphoric acid, potassium dihydrogen orthophosphate and the like, wherein the ratio of urea-formaldehyde to sulfonated urea-melamine-formaldehyde is between 0.2:1 to 2.0:1 and the final solid contents of this composition is between 1-15%. These compositions are then sprayed on top of sand or soil with conventional equipment and will impart significant improvements in their mechanical properties and their erosion resistance to water and wind.

TL;DR: In this article, an essentially particulate-free, non-toxic, odorless and colorless gas is generated in a pyrotechnic inflator device by using a eutectic solution of ammonium nitrate, guanidine nitrate and/or aminoguanidine nitrates, and minor amounts of polyvinyl alcohol and either potassium nitrate or potassium perchlorate.
Abstract: An essentially particulate-free, non-toxic, odorless and colorless gas is generated in a pyrotechnic inflator device by using a eutectic solution of ammonium nitrate, guanidine nitrate and/or aminoguanidine nitrate, and minor amounts of polyvinyl alcohol and either potassium nitrate or potassium perchlorate. Ballistic modifiers such as triaminoguanidine nitrate (TAGN) or nitroguanidine (NQ) may be used as needed.
