We demonstrate and analyze a novel desalination method which works by electrophoretically replacing sodium and chloride in feed salt water with a pair of ions, calcium and carbonate, that react and precipitate out. The resulting calcium carbonate precipitate is benign to health, and can be filtered or settled out, yielding low ionic strength product water. The ion exchange and precipitation emp...

A severe degree of hypotension in children followed the intravenous administration of codeine phosphate in several case reports—histamine release was its presumed root cause [1–3]. We also report cardiovascular collapse following accidental bolus intravenous injection of 30 mg (74 μmol) codeine phosphate, but it was associated with a surprising profound degree of hypocalcaemia. A quantitative a...

Quarrying in Scioto Township, Delaware County, Ohio, in 1966-67 uncovered an area of well-developed ripple marks at the top of the Columbus Limestone (Middle Devonian) and beneath a few inches of "bone bed" at the base of the overlying Delaware Limestone. The ripples averaged about 19 inches in wavelength and 1.5 inches in ripple height; they had smoothly rounded crests and were notably symmetr...

The Sorkheh deposit in northwestern Iran exhibits several readily visible general characteristics of sediment-hosted stratiform copper (SSC) mineralization. It consists of fine-grained disseminated base-metal sulfides within gray sandstones (gray beds, the basal whitish Miocene sandstone and shallow-water) that overlie a thick sequence of red beds (Miocene Upper Red Formation). The host gray be...

251 Acetic acid iontophoresis has been considered an effective treatment modality for the relief of heel pain1 and has become a standard approach to the treatment of calcific bursitis and tendinitis of the shoulder.2 Iontophoresis introduces ionizable substances into the body for therapeutic purposes by means of a direct current (Table 1).1 In this case, the acetate radical is introduced under ...

Although sulfur has a high theoretical gravimetric capacity, 1672mAh/g, its insulating nature requires a large amount of conducting additives: this tends to result in a low massloading of active material (sulfur), and thereby, a lower capacity than expected. Therefore, an optimal choice of conducting agents and of the method for sulfur/conductingagent integration is critically important. In thi...

Unusual mineralized and silicified carbonate-rich geodes were found hosted in Lower Triassic red mudstones in Central Spain. From their borders to their centres, the geodes display (a) a millimetric carbonate crust, (b) a quartz rim, (c) massive dolomite, (d) gold-bearing iron-rich infills (hematite laths and goethite with up to 7000 ppm of gold) and (e) calcite cements that sometimes seal the ...

Survey and novel research data are used in the present study to classify/identify lithological type of Verey age reservoirs’ rocks. It is shown how use X-ray tomography can clarify degree heterogeneity, porosity permeability these These then elaborate a model hydraulic fracturing. The resulting software take into account properties proppant breakdown fluid, thermal reservoir conditions, oil pro...
