Water expressed from each cut stem was collected using an Eppendorf tube containing dry cotton wool.
This gave the radioactivity in the incubation water, expressed as DPMtotal.
Finally graphs were drawn where the amount of absorbed water, expressed as Absorption, was plotted against immersion time.
The amount of mineral contents dissolved in water, expressed as its total dissolved solids (TDS), is important for assessing its suitability for use for various uses (Obiefuna and Sheriff 2011).
Concentration of major solutes in the thermal water expressed in millimoles per litre for the two warm springs in Bürchau (B1 and B2) compared to two representative high TDS deep fluids (dashed red lines), two intermediate mature waters from the transition group (dashed blue lines) and one similar low concentrated water from the Southern Black Forest (dashed black line).
The stability of an aqueous Paul trap is also influenced by the viscous drag of the surrounding water expressed by the parameter 'b' b = 2 ξ M Ω, where ξ is the friction coefficient of a non-slip spherical particle in Stokes' drag, ξ = 6πηap, η is the viscosity of medium and ap is the radius of the particle.
The determination of flow pattern is based on the boundary line in generalized flow patterns mapped by Hapanowicz (2008), written as g_{text{O}} = 1.3525g_{text{W}}^{0.812}, (17 where g O, g W are the apparent mass flux of oil and water, expressed as g = frac{{dot{m}}}{A}, (18 where (dot{m}) is the mass flowrate, written as dot{m} = q times rho (19).
The standard adsorption free energy (ΔG ads 0 ) can be calculated on the basis equation [21, 22]: Delta G_{text{ads}}^{0} = - RTln ({text{C}}_{{{text{H}}_{2} {text{O}}}} cdot K_{text{ads}} ) (7 where R is the gas constant, T the absolute temperature (K) and CH2O is the concentration of water expressed in mg L−1 with an approximate value of 106.
Oxygen isotope ratios in water, expressed as δ18OH2O in units of per mil (‰, parts per thousand) relative to Vienna Standard Mean Ocean Water (VSMOW), were determined by conventional isotope ratio mass spectrometry after equilibration with carbon dioxide, using a modification of the technique of Epstein and Mayeda [38].
One 24-h recall appears to only yield valid estimates of relative fluid intake for groups, i.e. drinking water expressed as a percentage of total fluid intake.
