What's the difference between chromism and chromium?
Chromism
Definition:
(n.) Same as Chromatism.
Example Sentences:
Chromium
Definition:
(n.) A comparatively rare element occurring most abundantly in the mineral chromite. Atomic weight 52.5. Symbol Cr. When isolated it is a hard, brittle, grayish white metal, fusible with difficulty. Its chief commercial importance is for its compounds, as potassium chromate, lead chromate, etc., which are brilliantly colored and are used dyeing and calico printing. Called also chrome.
Example Sentences:
(1) Seventy-six patients with established atherosclerotic disease were treated daily with either 250 micrograms of chromium orally as chromium chloride or a placebo for a period of 7 to 16 months (mean, 11.1 months).
(2) Under standardized conditions, the relationship between antigen content and inhibition of chromium release was linear in a semilogarithmic plot, indicating that the antigen content can be determined from testing two dilutions of a given preparation.
(3) The contents of hexavalent chromium, Cr(VI), in grinding dust were undetectable.
(4) The subjects were exposed to manganese, iron , chromium compounds, thermal radiation, high temperature and noise.
(5) The chromium uptake by the cells in Ca-Mg-free phosphate-buffered solution (PBS(-] was higher than that in other culture media.
(6) Following pretreatment with the monoclonal antibodies anti-HNK-1 (anti-Leu-7) or anti-Leu-11b and complement, NK activity against K562 cells was assessed in 4-hr chromium release assays.
(7) Values for hair chromium concentration of nulliparous women and parous women who had just given birth to a child were determined by atomic absorption spectrophotometry.
(8) Recognition, evaluation and control of hazards were carried out in a typical case where chromium was the major pollutant.
(9) Chromium and its compounds have long been generally recognized as having potentially severe occupational health hazards.
(10) Kinetic analysis of residue and outflow curves of gamma-emitting indicators such as chromium-51-EDTA and iodide-131-thalamate from skeletal muscle gives the possibility to determine the extraction fraction and the plasma flow, and from these two values the capillary diffusion capacity can be calculated (Sejrsen 1970, preliminary report).
(11) Direct detection of chromium in milk, using only argon as purge gas, was inferior.
(12) A knee simulator was used to study the wear of carbon fiber reinforced UHMWPE (Poly Two) (Poly Two is a registered trademark of Zimmer, USA) tibial and patellar components against Ti-6A1-4V, titanium nitride (TiN)-coated Ti-6A1-4V, and cobalt-chromium-molybdenum femoral components.
(13) Results of the determinations indicated that protective leather gloves contained considerable content of chromium, and chromium-free machine oils and lubricants were polluted with chromium's minute quantities as the oils and lubrications were being used.
(14) In 139 persons occupationally exposed to compounds of chromium, formaldehyde and p-phenylenediamine lymphocytic transformation test (ltt) was performed to detect a delayed-type hypersensitivity.
(15) A method for preparation of an immune diagnosticum using human erythrocytes of 0 (I) blood group sensitized with hepatitis B surface antigen in the presence of chromium chloride followed by the addition of formalin solution, for detection of antibody to the hepatitis B surface antigen is described.
(16) The effects of low-chromium diets containing chromium in the lowest quartile of normal intake on glucose tolerance and related variables in 11 females and 6 male subjects were evaluated.
(17) At the same time chromium content was determined quantitatively by atomic absorption.
(18) The results of validation tests showed that both Cr(VI) and trivalent chromium, Cr(III), were stable in the collection medium and that samples may be stored for up to 100 days without appreciable loss of Cr(VI).
(19) Base metal alloys, principally made of nickel, chromium, and beryllium have gained widespread usage, especially in the United States, due to their lower cost and higher mechanical properties.
(20) The amounts of polyethylene and methylmethacrylate debris and the histological reactions in the tissues corresponded closely with those reported in earlier studies of total hip prostheses made of stainless steel or cobalt-chromium alloy.
