Cr-Fe-C alloy deposits were successfully prepared on high-carbon tool steel in a Cr3+-based electroplating bath containing Fe2+ ions and suitable complex agents. A Cr-based alloy deposit was obtained with an electroplating current density higher than 25 Adm-2, and a Fe-based alloy deposit was obtained using a current density of 20 Adm-2. Following electroplating, these alloy deposited specimens...

‘Suppose a region [= volume] v of constant shape to be occupied by the molecule which for the present purposes is defined as the region into which salt does not penetrate when a salt solution is substituted for water. It is assumed that the density of the liquid outside v is uniform. The effect on the value of F [= structure factor] of increasing density everywhere outside v is equivalent to th...

The extended corresponding states principle has been applied on the prediction of the surface tension of pure molten alkali halides. The model uses liquid density and vapour pressure data of the salts of interest and of the reference salt, chosen to be NaCl, as the input for the calculation of temperature-dependent equivalent substance reducing ratios (ESRR). The model here described was alread...

Conjugated polymers, such as polyaniline, have been widely explored as sensors, electrodes, and conductive fillers. As an electrode material in electrochemical energy storage systems, polyaniline can be subject to irreversible oxidation that reduces cycle life and electrode capacity, thus, limiting its widespread application. Here we present a simple route to produce and prepare polyaniline-bas...

Excessive salt/sodium (Sodium > 2 grams/day, equivalent to 5 g salt/day) and low potassium (less than 3.5 grams/day) intake increases the risk of heart attack stroke. To fight against cardiovascular diseases, nutritional strategy is regulate dietary according set standards.

This study investigated the importance of the male sex hormone testosterone on salt-induced hypertension, renal alpha(2)-adrenoceptor subtype distribution, and gene expression in salt-sensitive (SBH) male Sabra rats. Comparisons of blood pressure and renal alpha(2)-adrenoceptor subtype gene expression and receptor densities have been made among sham-operated rats, and gonadectomized rats treate...

The electrochemical stability of 10 organic cations, which can be used in ionic liquids (IL), was investigated as solutes in acetonitrile (ACN). The stability of three of the salts, BenMe2EtNCl (salt III), 1-butyl-2-methyl pyrrolidium chloride (salt VI), and its structural isomer, BuMe2ProNCl (salt VII), were also compared in chloroaluminate ILs. The chloroaluminate ILs of salts VI and VII are ...
