Total and Ionic Fluoride in Milk

Abstract: The ionic and total fluoride levels in pasteurised and untreated milk have been examined using a fluoride sensor. Ionic fluoride was determined in potassium nitrate and sodium citrate buffer solutions

Extinguishment combination with hot gas sol

Abstract: The invention provides ''a hot aerosol fire-extinguishing composition'' and relates to an oxidative magnesium salt hot aerosol fire-extinguishing composition represented by anhydrous magnesium nitrate. The composition is characterized in that the composition can be magnesium nitrate, magnesium carbonate, or other magnesium salt, and can also be a compound of magnesium nitrate, or other magnesium salt with potassium nitrate, strontium nitrate, or other potassium salt or strontium salt; a reducer can be one of or the combination of a plurality of ammonium carbamidine, dicyandiamide, red prussiate of potash, formamine, triazole, and tetrazole; a capability improver can be magnesium carbonate, manganous carbonate, aluminium powder, powdered carbon, magnesium hydrate, metal oxide, etc.; and the bond adopts phenolic resin, etc. The preparation of the magnesium salt comprises the continuous steps: medium temperature and low pressure dehydration, spray under the protection of nitrogen-oxygen flow or ultrafine grinding of grinded colloid, and microencapsulated hydrophobic treatment, etc. Compared with the prior art, the fire-extinguishing composition has the advantages of low price, extensive source, fire-extinguishing capability of K-type composition, and low causticity and toxicity of the ultimate product of combustion.

Efficacy of a dentifrice containing 5% potassium nitrate and 1500 PPM sodium monofluorophosphate in a precipitated calcium carbonate base on dentinal hypersensitivity.

Abstract: The effect on dentinal hypersensitivity from the use of a dentifrice containing 5.0% potassium nitrate, 1500 ppm sodium monofluorophosphate in a precipitated calcium carbonate (PCC) base over an eight-week period was compared to a placebo dentifrice without potassium nitrate. A total of forty-eight subjects were entered into the study and stratified into two balanced groups according to their baseline mean thermal (air blast) and tactile (Yeaple Probe) sensitivity scores. The two groups were randomly assigned to use either the potassium nitrate/PCC dentifrice or a placebo dentifrice without potassium nitrate. The two groups were well balanced with regard to their mean baseline thermal tactile sensitivity scores, sex and age. Subjects were instructed to brush their teeth twice daily (morning and evening) for one minute with their assigned dentifrice and a commercially available soft-bristled toothbrush. Dentinal hypersensitivity examinations, which included tactile and thermal sensitivity, were conducted at baseline, four weeks, and eight weeks. Examinations were conducted by the same dental examiner (TS) on the subjects at each examination. After four weeks' use of their assigned products, those subjects in the potassium nitrate/PCC dentifrice group demonstrated statistically significant improvements (p < 0.0001), as compared to the placebo dentifrice without potassium nitrate, in tactile and thermal sensitivity. After eight weeks' use of their assigned products, those subjects in the potassium nitrate/PCC dentifrice group again demonstrated statistically significant improvements (p < 0.0001), in tactile and thermal sensitivity, as compared to the placebo dentifrice without potassium nitrate. Thus it can be concluded from this study that the use of a dentifrice containing 5.0% potassium nitrate and 1500 ppm sodium monofluorophosphate in a precipitated calcium carbonate (PCC) base is a clinically effective method for reducing dentinal hypersensitivity.

Effect of foliar spray of potassium nitrate and calcium nitrate on grasspea (Lathyrus sativus L.) grown in rice fallows.

Abstract: However, there is a possibility of raising another crop as a paira crop in a relay cropping system before the harvest of rainfed lowland rice. Grasspea is suitable for relay cropping with paddy rice (1) and it has potential among grain legumes for its tolerance to dry conditions and its adaptibility to unfavourable environments . Since grasspea in relay cropping with rice suffers from nutrient stresses during the reproductive phase, late application of N is effective in reducing flower and pod drop in legume and in increasing seed yield . Legumes, in general, require K and Ca. This study, therefore, was initiated to investigate the effect of foliar spray of potassium nitrate and calcium nitrate on a paira crop of grasspea grown in rainfed lowland rice fallows.
