neutral

Examples of neutral in the following topics:

• Neutralization Reaction

  • Neutralization reactions are used to inactivate viruses and evaluate neutralizing antibodies.
  • A neutralizing antibody defends a cell from an antigen or infectious body by inhibiting or neutralizing any effect it has biologically .
  • Antibodies can also neutralize viral infectivity by binding to cell surface receptors.
  • Neutralizing antibodies have shown potential in the treatment of retroviral infections.
  • In diagnostic immunology and virology laboratories, the evaluation of neutralizing antibodies, which destroy the infectivity of viruses, can be measured by the neutralization method.

• Degrees of Neutrality

  • Despite an official position of neutrality declared in the Neutrality Act of 1939, the U.S. consistently supported the Allied forces.
  • The Lateran Treaty signed in 1929 with Italy imposed that "The Pope was pledged to perpetual neutrality in international relations," making the Vatican City neutral during World War II.

  • Apart from an Anglophile element supporting the British, public opinion initially favored neutrality.
  • The British frequently violated America's neutral rights by seizing ships, causing presidential adviser Colonel Edward M.
  • Wilson issued another warning to Germany that it would face "strict accountability" if it sank neutral U.S. passenger ships.
  • Explain the rationale for America's initial neutrality in World War I.

• Value Neutrality in Sociological Research

  • Value neutrality is the duty of sociologists to strive to be impartial and overcome their biases as they conduct their research.
  • This inevitably renders truly value-free research inconceivable; however despite this, sociologists should strive for value neutrality.
  • Is value neutrality possible?
  • Value neutrality does not mean having no opinions, however.
  • Reconstruct the tension surrounding the idea of value neutrality in sociological research

• Strong Acid-Strong Base Titrations

  • A strong acid will react with a strong base to form a neutral (pH = 7) solution.
  • An acid-base titration is used to determine the unknown concentration of an acid or base by neutralizing it with an acid or base of known concentration.
  • It makes use of the neutralization reaction that occurs between acids and bases and the knowledge of how acids and bases will react if their formulas are known.
  • Neutralization is the reaction between an acid and a base, producing a salt and neutralized base.
  • Neutralization is the basis of titration.

• A Strained Neutrality

  • In the early years of World War I, Wilson urged neutrality and attempted to mediate peace, despite growing anti-German sentiment in the US.
  • When the war began, the U.S. proclaimed a policy of strict neutrality—"in thought and deed", as President Woodrow Wilson put it.

  • The British frequently violated America's neutral rights by seizing ships.
  • House, commented, "The British have gone as far as they possibly could in violating neutral rights, though they have done it in the most courteous way. " When Wilson protested British violations of American neutrality, the British backed down.
  • Wilson issued a warning to Germany that it would face "strict accountability" if it sank more neutral U.S. passenger ships.

• Peroxisomes

  • Peroxisomes neutralize harmful toxins and carry out lipid metabolism and oxidation reactions that break down fatty acids and amino acids.
  • In this way, peroxisomes neutralize poisons, such as alcohol, that enter the body.
  • Peroxisomes oversee reactions that neutralize free radicals.
  • Like miniature sewage treatment plants, peroxisomes neutralize harmful toxins so that they do not cause damage in the cells.

• Ionic Radius

  • Ions may be larger or smaller than the neutral atom, depending on the ion's charge.
  • For example, while neutral lithium is larger than neutral fluorine, the lithium cation is much smaller than the fluorine anion, due to the lithium cation having a different highest energy shell.
  • The neutral atoms are colored gray, cations red, and anions blue.
