Winter Diets

Eight captive white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) fawns were maintained on winter diets from 15 January to 31 March 1985 (i) to determine digesta retention time for primarily coniferous diets and (ii) to test the hypothesis that lichen consumption decreased retention time. Diets contained four conifers and either 0, 5, 15, or 25 % of a fruticose lichen component. Digesta retenton time was calculated using forages that were marked with ytterbium. Feces were collected up to 168 h postdosing, and subsamples were analyzed for ytterbium by atomic absorption spectrophotometry. Across all trials, total mean retention time ranged from 48.6 to 78.8 h. Five fawns in various trials cropped off their lateral abdominal pelage and thus introduced a treatment effect into our design that restricted our statistical analysis to data from two of four trials. Those data indicated that total mean retention time decreased as proportions of dietary lichen increased for noncroppers (P = 0.007) but not for croppers (P = 0.20).

ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate and compare in vitro cytotoxicity and corrosion resistance of mini-implants from three different commercial brands used for orthodontic anchorage. Methods: Six mini-implants (Conexão(tm), Neodent(tm) and SIN(tm)) were separately immersed in artificial saliva (pH 6.76) for 30 and 60 days. The cytotoxicity of the corrosion extracts was assessed in L929 cell cultures using the violet crystal and MTT assays, as well as cell morphology under light microscopy. Metal surface characteristics before and after immersion in artificial saliva were assessed by means of scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The samples underwent atomic absorption spectrophotometry to determine the concentrations of aluminum and vanadium ions, constituent elements of the alloy that present potential toxicity. For statistical analysis, one-way ANOVA/Bonferroni tests were used for comparisons among groups with p < 0.05 considered significant. Statistical analysis was carried out with Graph Pad PRISM software Version 4.0. Results: No changes in cell viability or morphology were observed. Mini-implants SEM images revealed smooth surfaces with no obvious traces of corrosion. The extracts assessed by means of atomic absorption spectrophotometry presented concentrations of aluminum and vanadium ions below 1.0 µg/mL and 0.5 µg/mL, respectively. Conclusion: Orthodontic mini-implants manufactured by Conexão(tm), Neodent(tm) and SIN(tm) present high corrosion resistance and are not cytotoxic.

Twelve chemical ingredients commonly used to formulate detergents were tested to determine their interferences with measurement of calcium in milk by atomic absorption spectrophotometry. For concentrations of 0.01, 0.1, and 1.0% milk, the mean amounts of calcium measured for all ingredients were 0.20, 1.85, and 15.89 mg/1, respectively. Statistical analysis showed that milk accounted for 97.3% of the variation in spectrophotometric response with temperature and concentration of ingredient being of little practical importance. However, increasing the temperature caused the instrument to indicate increased amounts of calcium in solutions containing sodium metasilicate (anhydrous), EDTA plus sodium hydroxide, sodium gluconate, and phosphoric acid. Changing the concentration of ingredient did not interfere substantially with the amount of calcium measured except for sodium metasilicate (anhydrous) where an increase in concentration reduced the amount of calcium measured. From the data it can be concluded that an atomic absorption spectrophotometer shows considerable promise for use in monitoring removal of residue from a milk contact surface.

Lipstick or lip dye is a cosmetic dose that serves to coloring, decorative the lips, as a moisturizing material and protect the lips from exposure the sun to provide optimum results. Lipstick should not contain chemicals such as lead (Pb) because the Pb is a heavy metal that is very dangerous when continuously used on the skin, because it will be absorbed into the blood and attack the body organ causing the onset of disease. According to BPOM that the lead rate on the lipstick does not exceed the permissible limit of 20 mg/kg or 20 ppm.This research aims to know the levels contained in the samples are 4 brands of matte lipstick that are sold in the Aceh market in Banda Aceh City with the method of atomic absorption spectrophotometry (AAS). The results showed that on the 4 brands of lipstick matte contain heavy metal lead (Pb) with a rate still qualified allowed by BPOM  is samples A, B, C, and D, respectively at 0.24 ppm; 0.10 ppm; 2.87 ppm and 1.32 ppm, so that the 4 brands of lipstick matte are still used.

Pewarnaan pada proses produksi kain sasirangan menghasilkan limbah yang mengandung logam berat, diantaranya adalah timbal (Pb2+) dan kadmium (Cd2+). Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh proses fitoremediasi terhadap konsentrasi logam Pb2+ dan Cd2+ dari limbah cair industri sasirangan di Kalimantan Selatan, serta mengetahui pertambahan berat basah eceng gondok. Eceng gondok yang sudah dibersihkan dan diaklimatisasi ditanam dalam reaktor berisi larutan limbah dengan konsentrasi 3% (v/v); 9% (v/v); dan 15% (v/v). Sampel diambil setiap 2 hari sekali sebanyak 100 ml dan dianalisis menggunakan AAS (Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry). Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa konsentrasi logam Pb2+ dan Cd2+ dalam limbah setelah proses fitoremediasi terjadi penurunan. Kadar Pb2+ pada konsentrasi 3% (v/v) semula 0,197 ppm menjadi 0,062 ppm, pada konsentrasi 9% (v/v) semula 0,200 ppm menjadi 0,077 ppm dan untuk 15% (v/v) adalah 0,225 ppm menjadi 0,093 ppm. Sedangkan untuk Cd2+ konsentrasi 3% (v/v) semula 0,110 ppm menjadi 0,059 ppm, konsentrasi 9% (v/v) adalah 0,127 ppm menjadi 0,045 ppm dan untuk konsentrasi 15% (v/v) semula 0,144 ppm menjadi 0,047 ppm.

Abstract The official first action AOAC method for the spectrophotometric determination of biuret in urea, 2.072—2.074, was compared with official first action AOAC method 2.C01-2.C03 (atomic absorption spectrophotometry), 2 simplified versions of 2.072-2.074, and modified versions of 2 alternative procedures of the International Organization for Standardization. Three synthetic urea samples (0.3, 1.4, and 3.0% biuret) and 1 commercial urea sample (1.0% biuret) were analyzed. The methods proved to be equivalent and none showed a definite advantage over 2.072-2.074. The purification of biuret and the interference by ammonia are also discussed.
