 What's Wrong with pH? A Conservator and a Scientist Search for Consensus
Using the Hammett Acidity Function, an acidity scale can be based on any family of similar molecules that change their absorption characteristics towards any type of electromagnetic radiation upon protonation or deprotonation.
The crucial properties of this acidity scale are the use of electromotive force of the hydrogen ions in the solution being tested, the use of a comparison (standard) solution, and the need for a quite complicated electrical circuit in the measurement.
A simple application of an acidity scale based on color changes is pH paper, the name being justified only when the paper is used to measure dilute aqueous solutions, in which case the two acidity scales coincide.

Oxidation, which is a regular function of metabolism and cell funtion, strips an electron from certain molecules.
The degree of acidity or alkalinity of a solution is measured in terms of a value known as pH, which is the negative logarithm of the concentration of hydrogen ions (Hydrogen atoms that have been stripped of their electron).
This is an important function because many biochemical reactions normally occurring in living organisms either release or use up ions.

 Chemical Reactivity
By converting a hydroxyl function to an ether, its acidity and ease of oxidation (in the case of 1º and 2º-alcohols) can be suppressed to such a degree that normally incompatible reactions, such as those employing Grignard reagents, may be carried out.
The high acidity of the second hydroxyl function is even more surprising, and undoubtedly reflects the fact that both conjugate bases are stabilized by charge delocalization over a different set of oxygen atoms.
These reagents are generally preferred over the use of concentrated HX due to the harsh acidity of these hydrohalic acids and the carbocation rearrangements associated with their use.

Conceptually, this means that a decrease in pH represents an increase in acidity, and an increase in pH represents a decrease in acidity.
Since it is a negative logarithm, an increase in pH is equivalent to a decrease in hydrogen ion activity (approximately equal to concentration in typical lake waters).

 THE MERCK MANUAL--SECOND HOME EDITION, Acidosis in Ch. 159, Acid-Base Balance
Acidosis is excessive blood acidity caused by an overabundance of acid in the blood or a loss of bicarbonate from the blood (metabolic acidosis), or by a buildup of carbon dioxide in the blood that results from poor lung function or slow breathing (respiratory alkalosis).
The treatment of respiratory acidosis aims at improving the function of the lungs.
When acidosis is severe, bicarbonate may be given intravenously; however, bicarbonate provides only temporary relief and may cause harm—for instance, by overloading the body with sodium and water.

We chose this over other indicators, such as universal indicator, methyl orange and bromothymol blue because we found it easier to tell when a substance was neutral, acid, or alkali.

 Ariane-5: Learning from Flight 501 and Preparing for 502
During the measurements of the natural state of the environment close to the Kourou facilities prior to each test, it was confirmed that, as elsewhere in the Amazonian ecosystem, the aluminium-oxide content in the ground and natural waters (between 4% and 35%), and the water acidity (PH values between 4 and 6), are particularly high.
The origin of the failure was rapidly narrowed down to the Flight Control System, and more particularly, to the Inertial Reference Systems, which obviously ceased to function almost simultaneously at around H0+36.7 s.
For Ariane flight 501, more than 100 sensors were installed around the launch pad and as far afield as the towns of Kourou (15 km to the southeast) and Sinnamary (25 km to the northwest).

 Transformer Service Inc.
The primary function of the oil is to provide a high dielectric insulating material and an efficient coolant.
In so doing, heat transfer is reduced causing the transformer to operate at higher than normal temperatures, which in turn speeds up the oxidation process (Acidity levels of.20mg KOH/g oil or greater).
A transformer such as this may be a candidate for "reclassification" to a lower classification once all EPA mandated criteria have been satisfied.

Imines form a equilibrium with amines and ketones, where imine concentration as a function of acidity peaks at a pH around 4.5.
Yes, imine is formed at the end, but its a small amount, and when doing the acid-base extraction, it gets hydrolysed pretty good.
The little bit of ketone makes an imine with tryptophan, it decarboxylates, and after a while, the imine hydrolyses, and the ketone moves on to another molecule of tryptophan.

 AAOS On-Line Service July 1996 Bulletin Morse taper modular connections
The biodegradation phenomena observed for Morse taper junctions within TJA was a result of fretting-corrosion that was directly influenced by the component tolerances combined with design and clinical conditions that produced higher magnitude micromotions during function.
Fretting mediated corrosion and alterations of the local environment (acidity) within these taper interfaces were implicated with suggestions that specific alloy properties (galling) or mixed alloy (galvanic) reactions were critical to the process.
Morse taper angles used for TJA generally fall in a range of 2 to 12 degrees and when interpenetrating parts of slightly different sizes or angles are assembled as an interference fit, they lock together.
