The transport of liquid across charged porous membranes separating two electrolytic solutions of different composition consists of both a normal and an anomalous osmotic component. Anomalous osmosis does not occur with electroneutral membranes. Thus, with membranes which can be charged and discharged reversibly, normal osmosis can be measured with the membrane in the electroneutral state, and n...

The life of LED driver is mainly dependent on the component used in it. Elimination of electrolytic capacitor is done so that the life of LED driver will increase, if an ac-dc LED driver with power factor correction control is used than the output will be a pulsating current for driving the LED. Since the pulsating current will introduce light flicker that varies double the power line frequency...

A novel electrolytic groundwater remediation process, which used the H(2) continuously generated at cathode to achieve in situ catalytic hydrodechlorination, was developed for the treatment of 2,4-dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP) in groundwater. Catalytic hydrodechlorination using Pd supported on bamboo charcoal and external H(2) showed that 2,4-DCP was completely dechlorinated to phenol within 30 min ...

Electrochemical generation of free nitric oxide (NO) from nitrite (NO(2)(-)) catalyzed by iron meso-tetrakis(4-N-methylpyridiniumyl)porphyrin, [Fe(III)(TMPyP)](5+), has been developed in this study. To obtain free NO, a cathodic electrolysis and an anodic electrolysis were performed in two connected flow electrolytic cells in sequence. The flow electrolytic cell upstream was used for cathodic e...

Compounding between NiO and La(2)O(3) protects the latter from water and molten salt attack, and ensures successful direct electrolytic conversion of the oxide precursors, in the solid state, to more affordable LaNi(5)-type hydrogen storage materials.

Effects of mid-dorsal caudate nucleus on sensorimotor changes were studied in rats. After electrolytic lesion of this area of brain there was impairment in sensory functions and decline in motor component was observed to be statistically significant.

the role of the ventromedial nuclei of the hypothalamus (vmn) in food behavior was studied in adult male rats, allocated in 3 groups: control, sham and lesioned. electrolytic lesions were induced stereotaxically (1.2 ma, 15 sec). results revealed a significant decrease (p
