Measurement Methodology

Analysis methods developed specifically to determine the presence of ink and other optically active components in paper machine white waters or other process effluents are not available. It is generally more interest¬ing to quantify the effect of circulation water contaminants on end products. This study compares optical techniques to quantify the dirt in process water by two methods for test media preparation and measurement: direct process water filtration on a membrane foil and low-grammage sheet formation. The results show that ink content values obtained from various analyses cannot be directly compared because of fundamental issues involving test media preparation and the varied methodologies used to formulate the results, which may be based on different sets of assumptions. The use of brightness, luminosity, and reflectance and the role of scattering measurements as a part of ink content analysis are discussed, along with fine materials retention and measurement media selection. The study concludes with practical tips for case-dependent measurement methodology selection.

A STUDY ON THE "IN VITRO" SYNTHESIS OF CITRULLINE: PART II. EFFECT OF GLUTAMIC ACID AND DERIVATIVES IN THE PRESENCE OF FUMARIC ACID

The role of N-carbamyl, N-acetyl, and L-glutamic acids with and without fumaric acid on the "in vitro" synthesis of citrulline was studied by using a particulate fraction obtained from a rat liver homogenate and a partially purified citrulline-synthesizing enzyme system. In the presence of a particulate fraction of rat liver homogenate, N-carbamyl and N-acetyl-L-glutamic acids are unable to replace L-glutamic acid, which is essential for citrulline biosynthesis. However, in the presence of fumaric acid, they both give a better synthesis of citrulline than L-glutamic acid alone. It is postulated that the acyl derivatives serve only in the transport of "activated CO2" whereas fumaric acid enters the citric acid to furnish the essential ATP molecules. Glutamic acid would be able to perform both functions. However, in the presence of a system containing partially purified citrulline-synthesizing enzymes, L-glutamic acid is unable to replace N-carbamyl and N-acetyl-L-glutamic acids with or without fumaric acid. In such a system, L-glutamic acid cannot serve in the transport of "activated CO2". It is postulated that L-glutamic acid must be acetylated prior to its utilization in this respect.With the particulate fraction of rat liver homogenate, N-allyl aspartic acid inhibits totally the synthesis of citrulline both in the presence and absence of fumaric acid with or without glutamic or N-acetyl glutamic acids. It probably interferes with the transport of "activated CO2".

Aluminum exposure has been reported to be related to learning and memory impairment. This study examines the role of aluminum in alterating amino acids of the cerebral cortex of rats. The Step-down type tests were performed to investigate the alteration of learning and memory of rats induced by aluminum. The amino acids in the cerebral cortex were detected by high performance liquid chromatography (HLPC). Results show that the amounts of aluminum in the cerebral cortex increased by 5.0mgAl3+/(Kg·BW) group and 10.0mg Al3+/(Kg·BW) group. In the Step-down type test, the EN1 increased significantly in the Al3+ 10.0mg/(Kg·BW) group. The latency shortened obviously and the EN2 increased significantly in the 10.0mg Al3+/(Kg·BW) group. The content of Glu (Glutamic acid) increased but the content of GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) decreased significantly in the 10.0mg Al3+/(Kg·BW) group. This present study shows evidence that the disorder of amino acid neurotransmitters system plays an important role in the impairment of learning and memory of rats induced by aluminum.
