  2. Salt water dimmer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salt_water_dimmer

    [4] [5] [6] The brightness also depended on the concentration of salt in the water. [4] The switchboard built at Her Majesty's Theatre, London in 1897 had a dimmer scale of 0 to 10, whereas gas lighting only had 3 levels. [1] The salt water need to be refilled regularly, the metal electrodes corroded, and the dimmers emitted a strong smell.

  3. Ethanol precipitation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethanol_precipitation

    Ethanol precipitation is a method used to purify and/or concentrate RNA, DNA, and polysaccharides such as pectin and xyloglucan from aqueous solutions by adding salt and ethanol as an antisolvent. In DNA extraction, after separating DNA from other cell constituents in water, DNA is precipitated out of solution by neutralizing it with positively ...

  4. Salting out - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salting_out

    Salting out (also known as salt-induced precipitation, salt fractionation, anti-solvent crystallization, precipitation crystallization, or drowning out) [1] is a purification technique that utilizes the reduced solubility of certain molecules in a solution of very high ionic strength.

  5. Dimmer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dimmer

    A common dual dimmer module used in stage lighting A dimmer. A dimmer is a device connected to a light fixture and used to lower the brightness of the light.By changing the voltage waveform applied to the lamp, it is possible to lower the intensity of the light output.

  6. Saline water - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saline_water

    At 20 °C (68 °F) one liter of water can dissolve about 357 grams of salt, a concentration of 26.3 percent by weight (% w/w). At 100 °C (212 °F) (the boiling temperature of pure water), the amount of salt that can be dissolved in one liter of water increases to about 391 grams, a concentration of 28.1% w/w.

  7. Protein precipitation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protein_Precipitation

    z i is the ion charge of the salt and c i is the salt concentration. The ideal salt for protein precipitation is most effective for a particular amino acid composition, inexpensive, non-buffering, and non-polluting. The most commonly used salt is ammonium sulfate. There is a low variation in salting out over temperatures 0 °C to 30 °C.

  8. Halocline - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halocline

    In oceanography, a halocline (from Greek hals, halos 'salt' and klinein 'to slope') is a cline, a subtype of chemocline caused by a strong, vertical salinity gradient within a body of water. [1] Because salinity (in concert with temperature ) affects the density of seawater , it can play a role in its vertical stratification .

  9. Osmoregulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osmoregulation

    Osmoregulation is the active regulation of the osmotic pressure of an organism's body fluids, detected by osmoreceptors, to maintain the homeostasis of the organism's water content; that is, it maintains the fluid balance and the concentration of electrolytes (salts in solution which in this case is represented by body fluid) to keep the body fluids from becoming too diluted or concentrated.
