• Clinically proven to produce a Calcium Oxalate Relative
Supersaturation of < 5 in dogs and cats, which has been shown to limit the formation of calcium oxalate uroliths.
Because the atmosphere contains condensation nuclei, significant amounts of
supersaturation with respect to water rarely occur.
Without condensation nuclei it would take much
higher supersaturation levels to push it over the Kohler curve peak.
Condensation nuclei in the atmosphere become effective
at supersaturations of around 0.1 to 1 percent (that is, levels of water vapour around 0.1 to 1 percent above the point of saturation).
This can not be said of condensing
from supersaturation because that heat can't then be removed without reducing entropy to go back to 200 %.
Dietary calcium is relatively more important than dietary oxalate in influencing the risk of calcium oxalate urolithiasis in dogs The main risk factors for calcium oxalate urolithiasis are
urinary supersaturation with calcium and oxalate.
Comparisons between Nc and the detailed CCN spectra available from the DRI instruments reveal cloud
effective supersaturations, Seff, which vary considerably.
This is achieved by slow addition of dilute calcium chloride solution into dilute carbonate buffer to
induce supersaturation, causing nucleation and precipitation of calcium carbonate.
Twenty days after you begin your pet on a new diet and treatment plan, have the first urine of the morning analized with an RSS test (Relative
Supersaturation Test).
Introducing 25 % of calories from wet diet results in a
metastable supersaturation (calcium oxalate RSS 1 12) where growth of existing stones will not occur and new stone formation is not possible (Buckley et al. 2010).
This methodology allows constant urine pH monitoring and relative
supersaturation assessment, critical for establishing the influence of diet on the risk of calcium oxalate formation.
At − 14 °C (7 °F) and a relatively
large supersaturation with respect to liquid water, for example, ice crystals with dendritic (treelike branching) patterns form.
Condensation
without supersaturation is essentially isentropic as long as the droplets don't fall, but their descent under gravitation is neither isentropic nor adiabatic, as they carry heat across the boundaries of a parcel of gas.
Typical temperature -
supersaturation regions can be identified for the «onset» of ice nucleation of these different particle types, but the various particle sizes and activated fractions reported in different studies have to be taken into account when comparing results obtained with different methodologies.

Ice supersaturations exceeding 100 % at the cold tropical tropopause: Implications for cirrus formation and dehydration.
The relative effects of supplemental dietary calcium and oxalate on urine composition and calcium oxalate relative
supersaturation in healthy adult dogs.
I don't know the specifics, but eg in the exhaust stream of cars the
high supersaturation of organic compounds causes continuous nucleation, and indeed the exhaust pipes emit a lot of freshly nucleated nanoparticles of typically around 10 - 20 nanometers in diameter.
Effect of dietary moisture and sodium content on urine composition and calcium oxalate
relative supersaturation in healthy miniature schnauzers and labrador retrievers.
The specific form the ice crystals take depends on the temperature and the degree of
supersaturation with respect to ice.
Though many observers felt as the American journalist John Robbins did in 1959, when he asserted that «Hong Kong's state of
supersaturation» may be «a portent of things to come throughout Asia,» the apocalypse they predicted never came to pass.
But in humid places with relatively low background air pollution levels, such as over the Amazon,
supersaturation is common, she says.
For that to be possible, the air must contain even more water vapor than is usually required to form clouds, reaching a very high state of
supersaturation.
Our experiments are based on the measurement of Ca2 + concentrations at constant pH values, facilitating a quantitative determination of all species present at the different stages of crystallization while
the supersaturation slowly evolves.
Gebauer began his work by building an experimental setup that would allow him to detect the presence of the various chemical species as he brought the solution to
supersaturation.
It's
a supersaturation supersize - building method that will get you growing.
Low RSS Relative
Supersaturation (RSS) methodology predicts the crystallization potential of urine.
One of the main causes of bladder and kidneys stones is
supersaturation of minerals in the urine.
This is probably because cat urine is more concentrated (higher specific gravity) than dogs, so the urine is more saturated (we call
this supersaturation) with magnesium, ammonium, and phosphate.
Urinary Tract Health Formulated to increase the urine volume and help in the management of both struvite and calcium oxalate crystals through the use of Relative
Supersaturation (RSS) methodology.
In order to investigate urinary tract health, WALTHAM developed a novel methodology for collecting urine samples from dogs, enabling urine pH monitoring and relative
supersaturation (RSS) assessment.
Zones of urinary relative
supersaturation and the crystallisation processes that occur in each zone (Stevenson and Rutgers 2006)
In an attempt to predict oxalate stone formation before it occurs, Waltham pioneered the use of relative
supersaturation (RSS) testing in pets.
Royal Canin Veterinary Diets in St. Charles, Mo., for example, has used the relative
supersaturation (RSS) urinalysis technique, adapted from human medicine, as a means of measuring ion saturation in feline urine samples to predict the chance that struvite and calcium oxalate crystals will form.
He felt the fighting game genre lost fans due to
a supersaturation of the fighting game genre and a dip in quality as a result.
«There were several reasons for the [video game] crash [of 1983], but the main cause was
supersaturation of the market with hundreds of mostly low - quality games which resulted in the loss of consumer confidence.»
Supersaturation was a performative exhibition that investigated socio - political and environmental histories of sugar in relation to colonialism and anthropogenic change.
