Interactions between Silica Particles in the Presence of Multivalent Coions

Forces between charged silica particles in solutions of multivalent coions are measured with colloidal probe technique based on atomic force microscopy. The concentration of 1:z electrolytes is systematically varied to understand the behavior of electrostatic interactions and double-layer properties in these systems. Although the coions are multivalent the Derjaguin, Landau, Verwey, and Overbeek (DLVO) theory perfectly describes the measured force profiles. The diffuse-layer potentials and regulation properties are extracted from the forces profiles by using the DLVO theory. The dependencies of the diffuse-layer potential and regulation parameter shift to lower concentration with increasing coion valence when plotted as a function of concentration of 1:z salt. Interestingly, these profiles collapse to a master curve if plotted as a function of monovalent counterion concentration

The effect of an acute bout of rugby training on plasma concentrations of intestinal fatty acid binding protein

Exercise appears to elicit damage to the gut endothelial cell lining as demonstrated through increases in concentration of plasma intestinal fatty acid binding protein (i-FABP). The majority of previous research has focussed on endurance exercise, with limited data on high intensity contact sports. The high intensity nature of rugby exercise, combined with trauma from collisions, suggests that this may cause considerable increases in gastrointestinal damage and permeability Therefore, the purpose of the study was to investigate the effects of a standardised rugby conditioning session on plasma i-FABP concentrations as a marker of gut endothelial damage
