The results of theoretical and experimental studies of the acidity of donor-acceptor complexes of boric acid with polyols – glycerol and sorbitol, which were used in the development of oil-displacing compositions, are presented. A model of donor-acceptor acid-base equilibria in coordinating polyol solvents has been created, due to which the constants of polyolboric acids formation and ionization were determined by pH-meter and electrical conductivity methods. The obtained constant values were used to calculate the compositions buffer capacity. Due to the using a mixture of polyolboric acids in the compositions at various ratios it was possible to regulate the range of the buffer action

The investigations of acid-base interactions in aminomethanesulfonic acid (AMSA)–potassium aminomethanesulfonate–water and alkylaminomethanesulfonic acid–potassium alkylaminomethane-sulfonate–water systems, where alkyl are methyl (MeAMSA), N-(2-hydroxyethyl) (HEAMSA), n-propyl (n-PrAMSA), n-butyl (n-BuAMSA), tert-butyl (t-BuAMSA), n-heptyl (n-HpAMSA) and benzyl (BzAMSA) were performed in temperature range 293–313 К. Buffer action pH limits were determined and the buffer capacity of these systems was estimated.Based on the evaluation of buffer action pH limits of aminomethansulfonic acids, it has been found that with the help of n-PrAMSA and n-BuAMSA, it was possible to maintain the medium acidity in the range of physiological pH values throughout the range of investigated temperatures.As the temperature rises, the pH of the lower buffer limit increases for AMSA and n-BuAMSA systems, while for HEAMSA, t-BuAMSA, n-HpA-MSA and BzAMSA decreases. The value of the pH of the upper buffer threshold for all tested systems decreases during their heating. With the increase of the electron-donor properties of the N-substituent in the AMSA–MeAMSA–HEAMSA–t-BuAMSA series, the value of their electronegativity decreases to result in lowering of the pH values of the lower buf-fering action limit of these systems. For the more lipophilic N-substituents (n-C4H9, n-C7H15 and C6H5CH2), this regularity is not typical.It has been established that with increasing the CYAMSK/CYAMSA concentration ratio, the buffer capacity of YNHCH2SO3H–YNHCH2SO3K–H2O systems with hydrophilic aminomethansulfonic acids (Y = H, CH3 and HOCH2CH2) increases. For systems with lipophilic n-PrAMSA and t-BuAMSA, their buffer capacity doesn’t change at 0.4 ≤ QKOH/QYAMSA ≤ 1.0.The obtained data on the buffer capacity of the investigated systems is recommended for use in chemical analysis, microbiological and biochemical studies.

The article discusses the role of conjugated lactic acid/ lactate anion (LacH/Lac-) and dihydrogenphosphate anion/ hydrogenphosphate anion (H2PO4-/HPO42-) pairs in the formation of the buffer properties of tissue as a factor determining pH. The buffer properties of homogenates of the tissue of adenocarcinoma of the mammary gland and the adjacent tissue were quantitatively characterized by the buffer capacity which was determined by potentiometric titration. The concentrations of acid anions were determined spectrophotometrically. The material was biopsy specimens of mammary gland adenocarcinoma (T1-4, N0-1, M0) and adjacent tissue of 22 patients aged from 33 to 75 years. It was found that the buffer capacity of tumors is in 2.5 times higher than in normal tissue. It was established that for the tumor tissue, the buffer capacity of the LacH/Lac- system is in 3 times higher, and the buffer capacity of the H2PO4-/HPO42-system is in 2.5 times greater than for normal untransformed tissue. Concentrations of lactate anions (1,93 ± 0,50 vs 0,57 ± 0,22; p <0.001) and phosphate anions (2,54 ± 0,39 vs 0,70 ± 0,19; p <0,001) in homogenates of the tumor tissue were significantly higher in tumor tissue in comparison with the adjacent tissue. A strong correlation was found between the concentration of phosphate anions and the buffer capacity for tumor tissue (r = 0,857; p = 0,002) and for adjacent tissue (r = 0,917; p <0,001). The correlation between the concentration of lactate anions and the buffer capacity for tumor tissues can be estimated as average (r = 0,626; p = 0,053), while it is absent for the adjacent tissue (r = 0,494; p = 0,147). The results suggest that the acid-base properties of homogenates of mammary adenocarcinoma tissues are determined by two buffer systems: LacH/Lac- and H2PO4-/HPO42-, while the intracellular acid-base homeostasis of non-transformed tissues is mainly determined by the H2PO4-/HPO42- system.

Solid solutions Bi2Te3-Sb2Te3 continue to be the subject of numerous and versatile experimental studies due to their practical importance for thermoelectric materials science. In this regard, the problem of studying the regularities of changes in the state of the electronic system of these semiconductors from composition and temperature remains urgent. This paper presents the results of studying the temperature dependences of the magnetic susceptibility of Bi2Te3-Sb2Te3 crystals containing 10, 25, 40, 50, 60 mol. % Sb2Te3. The correlation of the behavior of the temperature dependences of the magnetic susceptibility and electrical conductivity is analyzed.

Although the phenomenon of severe acidosis in the depressed neonate is now widely appreciated, our understanding of both pathogenesis and clinical significance of this disturbance is still incomplete. The fall in blood pH under such circumstances is usually due to accumulation of both carbon dioxide and titratable non-volatile acid; the latter feature is explained in part by bicarbonate redistribution in response to hypercapnia and in part by addition to the blood of organic acid in response to hypoxia. In the hypoxic infant, elevations of the blood lactate level often fall short of the change in the concentration of blood titratable acid as reflected by the blood "base excess;"1,2 and, in recent experimental studies on this problem we found that, in (constantly) normocapnic dogs, acute severe hypoxia leads to a rapid fall in blood "base excess" before any appreciable rise in lactate levels occurs. Because conventional "physiological-type" acid-base terminological systems do not allow for the presence of secondary noncompensatory variables, the "high Pco2-low base excess" type of acidosis so characteristic of the asphyxiated newborn is not easily classifled in terms of conventional acid-base diagnostic categories. Far from representing a "misinterpretation of negative "base excess values," as stated by Nelson and Riegel, classification of this particular disturbance as a "mixed acidosis" appears reasonable in view of the evidence described in the foregoing; actually, the identical diagnostic attitude is implicit in Nelson and Riegel paper. On the other hand, we wish to emphasize that both bicarbonate redistribution and accumulation of organic acids are secondary to the primary pulmonary insufficiency, and that both are rapidly reversible upon restoration of adequate pulmonary function.

In this paper, we present the recent progress in the experimental studies of the electrical conductivity of dominant nominally anhydrous minerals in the upper mantle and mantle transition zone of Earth, namely, olivine, pyroxene, garnet, wadsleyite and ringwoodite. The main influence factors, such as temperature, pressure, water content, oxygen fugacity, and anisotropy are discussed in detail. The dominant conduction mechanisms of Fe-bearing silicate minerals involve the iron-related small polaron with a relatively large activation enthalpy and the hydrogen-related defect with lower activation enthalpy. Specifically, we mainly focus on the variation of oxygen fugacity on the electrical conductivity of anhydrous and hydrous mantle minerals, which exhibit clearly different charge transport processes. In representative temperature and pressure environments, the hydrogen of nominally anhydrous minerals can tremendously enhance the electrical conductivity of the upper mantle and transition zone, and the influence of trace structural water (or hydrogen) is substantial. In combination with the geophysical data of magnetotelluric surveys, the laboratory-based electrical conductivity measurements can provide significant constraints to the water distribution in Earth’s interior.

McGinley C, Bishop DJ. Influence of training intensity on adaptations in acid/base transport proteins, muscle buffer capacity, and repeated-sprint ability in active men. J Appl Physiol 121: 1290–1305, 2016. First published October 14, 2016; doi: 10.1152/japplphysiol.00630.2016 .—This study measured the adaptive response to exercise training for each of the acid-base transport protein families, including providing isoform-specific evidence for the monocarboxylate transporter (MCT)1/4 chaperone protein basigin and for the electrogenic sodium-bicarbonate cotransporter (NBCe)1. We investigated whether 4 wk of work-matched, high-intensity interval training (HIIT), performed either just above the lactate threshold (HIITΔ20; n = 8), or close to peak aerobic power (HIITΔ90; n = 8), influenced adaptations in acid-base transport protein abundance, nonbicarbonate muscle buffer capacity (βmin vitro), and exercise capacity in active men. Training intensity did not discriminate between adaptations for most proteins measured, with abundance of MCT1, sodium/hydrogen exchanger (NHE) 1, NBCe1, carbonic anhydrase (CA) II, and CAXIV increasing after 4 wk, whereas there was little change in CAIII and CAIV abundance. βmin vitro also did not change. However, MCT4 protein content only increased for HIITΔ20 [effect size (ES): 1.06, 90% confidence limits × / ÷ 0.77], whereas basigin protein content only increased for HIITΔ90 (ES: 1.49, × / ÷ 1.42). Repeated-sprint ability (5 × 6-s sprints; 24 s passive rest) improved similarly for both groups. Power at the lactate threshold only improved for HIITΔ20 (ES: 0.49; 90% confidence limits ± 0.38), whereas peak O2 uptake did not change for either group. Detraining was characterized by the loss of adaptations for all of the proteins measured and for repeated-sprint ability 6 wk after removing the stimulus of HIIT. In conclusion, 4 wk of HIIT induced improvements in each of the acid-base transport protein families, but, remarkably, a 40% difference in training intensity did not discriminate between most adaptations.

The importance of perfusate nonbicarbonate buffer capacity (beta nonHCO3) to intracapillary CO2-HCO3(-)-H+ reactions was assessed by theoretical analysis of CO2 exchange in saline-perfused pulmonary capillaries. Time courses for perfusate PCO2, [HCO3-], and [H+] were computed for capillaries containing different activities of luminal vascular carbonic anhydrase and different amounts of perfusate nonbicarbonate buffers. Mobilization of perfusate HCO3- toward CO2 during capillary transit is determined by the availability of HCO3- and H+. A supply of protons from the nonbicarbonate buffer pool is necessary to maintain a high rate of HCO3- dehydration. The analyses indicate that beta nonHCO3 has marked nonlinear effects on transcapillary CO2 exchange and intravascular pH equilibration. These nonlinear effects differ from those previously computed for CO2 reactions in an open system because the present model system consists of a sequential combination of open (within capillary proper) and closed (within postcapillary vasculature) systems. The role of luminal vascular carbonic anhydrase in capillary CO2 reactions is strongly dependent on beta nonHCO3. Perfusate nonbicarbonate buffer capacity must be considered when the results of experimental studies of transcapillary CO2 exchange and/or intravascular pH equilibration are interpreted.
