A gas layer in the form of bubbles exists at the bottom surface of anodes in aluminium electrolytic cells in the HallHeroult process. The gas bubbles increase electrical resistance, cause an additional voltage drop and increase energy consumption. While the presence of gas bubbles is an inherent feature of the process, it is important to assess their contribution to voltage drop however this is...

INTRODUCTION Tremulous jaw movement (TJMs) in rats can be induced pharmacologically by striatal dopaminergic manipulation or electrolytic lesion of ventrolateral striatum (VLS). This tremor has neurochemical, anatomical and electromyographic (EMG) characteristics similar to those of tremor in Parkinson patients. However, the EMG characteristics of tremors generated by electrolytic lesion to the...

In the present study, the effect of the medial septal (MS) lesions on exploratory activity in the open field and the spatial and object recognition memory has been investigated. This experiment compares three types of MS lesions: electrolytic lesions that destroy cells and fibers of passage, neurotoxic - ibotenic acid lesions that spare fibers of passage but predominantly affect the septal nonc...

abstract aims: turbidity in higher than standard levels, indicates failure in the water treatment plant. an electrochemical disinfection process takes place through electricity transition between two or more electrodes. this research aimed to determine the reaction rate of electrochemical process for purification of polluted water. materials & methods: this is a bench scale, experimental study ...

In a previous study involving the inhibition of oxidative phosphorylation in brain mitochondria by electrical currents, it was observed that the effect varied with the kind of conductive substance used in the construction of the electrode (Abood, 1954). Electrodes constructed of either gold or an alloy of silver and gold were most effective, while silver and platinum electrodes were least effec...
