Therefore, we were able to assess salinity resistance for individuals that had never experienced saline conditions and whose parents had never experienced such conditions.
The mechanisms responsible for drought and saline stress resistance have been attributed to several physiological, biochemical and/ or genetic adaptations, including superior water use efficiency, changes in root length and architecture, the accumulation of compatible solutes and/ or the expression of key stress-related genes [ 30].
Finally, electrochemical measurements showed that after 40 icing/melting cycles (2 h icing at − 20 °C and melting at 25 °C for each cycle) by immersing in pure water and saline solutions, corrosion resistance of the superhydrophobic nickel film presented fairly less protection level, particularly in saline solution.
The pipettes were filled with external saline and had resistances in the range 0.7 1.0 MΩ.
Pipettes were pulled from thin-walled borosilicate glass (1.5 mm OD and 1.1 mm ID, Sutter Instruments), filled with external saline and had resistances in the range of 0.7 1.2 MΩ.
Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy was used to evaluate corrosion resistance in saline aqueous environments.
The corrosion analysis is used to determine the chemical adhesion, the corrosion resistance in saline solution and the bio-compatibility in the physiological environment of the coating.
The new Ti-Nb-Mo ternary alloys are regarded to be potential candidates for biomedical application on the basis of both their microstructural characteristics and their corrosion resistance in saline solution with chloride content equivalent to body fluids.
The balloon was distended with saline until a slight resistance was felt on slight traction.
Catheters were flushed with heparinized pyrogen-free sterile physiological saline daily to detect resistance to flow and patency.
