Corning Ware

Alchemically, the body opens and the finer parts ascend. These are captured by a cool condensing surface in an exalted form. Most notable are many of the ammonia-based salts. Corning Ware casseroles work well for this. Place the matter to be sublimated in a layer on the bottom of one casserole, then cover with a second casserole that is inverted. Gently heat the bottom and the sublimate will collect on the upper surfaces. The final sublimation temperature will depend on the matter you are sublimating and can range from near room temperature to a full red heat. 

Preparation of the Menstruum begins with the sublimation of Sal Ammoniac (a commercial product is alright for this preparation). This is easily done using Corning Ware casseroles over electric or gas heat as mentioned earlier when we discussed sublimation. After the first sublimation, the sublimed crystals will take on a pale yellow color. Collect them and sublime again. 

The microstructure of a typical P-spodumene solid solution glass-ceramic in the form of Corning Ware is presented in Fig. 2-6. The width of the main crystal phase of P-spodumene solid solution measures 1-2 pm.

The compositions of commercial P-spodumene solid solution glass-ceramics are shown in Table 2-8. The composition of Corning Ware differs from that of Cercor in that it contains a number of additions that Cercor does not contain. 

Corning Ware (Corning/USA) Cercoi (Corning/USA) Neoceram N-11 (Nippon Electric Glass/Japan)... 

Given the favorable processing technology of Corning Ware , this material is used to produce cookware and hot plates, while Cercor is used in gas turbines. 

Aluminosilicate glass-ceramic (e.g. Corning Ware ) developed.

Vegetal materials, such as wheat (55), corn (56), fruit, and vegetables (33,57-59), and animal materials, such as beef tissues (60,61), or blubber samples from marine mammals (62) can be extracted by organic solvents using a Waring blender or Soxhlet extraction. The organic solvents that have been used for this purpose are acetonitrile, ethyl acetate-methanol, ethyl acetate, hexane, acetone, and benzene. 

Centura Ware. Glass-ceramic tableware that has been glazed, and sometimes decorated. (Trade name Corning Glass Works, USA). 

Pyroflam. Trade-name. Glass-ceramic cooking ware marketed in the UK as PYROSiL (q.v.) (Corning Nederlande Fabricken). 

Vycor. Trade-name. A porous glass (q.v.), made by a process patented by H.P. Hood and M.E Nordberg, Corning Glass (US Pat. 2106744,1938). Vycor is almost pure vitreous silica. A borosilicate glass is first made and this solidifies in two phases, one of which is soluble in dilute acid and is thus removed, leaving a highly siliceous skeleton. The porous ware is then heated... 

Effects on Gibberellins. Exposure to cold enhances subsequent GA biosynthesis in certain seeds (Ross and Bradbeer 1971). The increase appears to arise from de novo GA biosynthesis and cannot be inhibited by concentrations of ABA which inhibit germination (Arias et al. 1976) and suppress apparent GA biosynthesis in maize shoots (Wareing et al. 1968). Cold increases GA in potato tubers (Thomas and Wurr 1976), while low temperature during tuber germination increases both GA and auxin activity in leaves of potato (Romanova et al. 1975). In corn roots, on the other hand gibberellin production or export is severely inhibited by prolonged exposure to cold (Atkin et al. 1973). 

A 50 g sample of corn was ground dry in a Waring blendor for 2-3 minutes. Aseptically, 10 g of ground corn was transferred to a milk dilution bottle containing 90 ml of sterilized triton X-100 diluent (0.05 ml Triton X-100 and 8.5 g NaCl and deionized water to equal 1 L). The bottle was placed on a wrist action shaker for 10 minutes and then allowed to stand 10 minutes. A series of 10 fold serial dilutions were prepared and 1 ml of each dilution was transferred to sterile petri dishes to which 15 ml of a cooled PCNB medium was added. After 4 days incubation at 2APC, B. moniliforme colonies were identifiable and their numbers were recorded.
