This paper investigates the feasibility of electrolytic hydrogen production for the transport sector during off-peak periods in Ontario. This analysis is based on the existing electricity system infrastructure and its planned future development up to 2025. First, a simplified but realistic zonal based model for Ontario’s electricity transmission network is developed. Then, based on Ontario’s In...

One approach to enhance the disinfection of root canals in endodontic treatment is ultrasonic irrigation with sodium hypochlorite. Reactive oxygen species, such as hydroxyl radical, are generated by biological defense systems to kill invading bacteria. Ultrasonic irrigation with hydrogen peroxide may be a promising option to increase hydroxyl radical generation. We examined the bactericidal eff...

Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) has been implicated in sepsis-mediated heart failure and chronic cardiac myopathies. We determined that LPS directly and reversibly affects cardiac myocyte function by altering regulation of intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) in immortalized cardiomyocytes, HL-1 cells. [Ca2+]i oscillated (<0.4 Hz), displaying slow and transient components. LPS (1 microg/ml), der...

An intermediate-bandwidth theory of charge-carrier mobility is developed with a focus on finite-band effects and scattering by phonons. Wide-band behavior is recovered as a limit. Two applications of the finite-band theory are discussed: in one a dip is predicted in the temperature dependence of the mobility, and in the other recently reported observations on ultrapure organic crystals are addr...

the hydroxyl radical (oh•) is a powerful oxidant produced as a consequence of cavitation in water. it can react nonspecifically in breaking down persistent organic pollutants in water into their mineral form. it can also recombine to form hydrogen peroxide which is very useful in water treatment. in this study, terephthalic acid (ta) and potassium iodide dosimetry were used to quantify and inve...
