Systems of charged particles on anisotropic three-dimensional lattices are investigated theoretically using Debye–Hückel theory. It is found that the thermodynamics of these systems strongly depends on the degree of anisotropy. For weakly anisotropic simple cubic lattices, the results indicate the existence of order–disorder phase transitions and a tricritical point, while the possibility of lo...

1. Studies to explain a significant socioeconomic and rural-urban blood pressure gradient found in central Mississippi are reported. 2. 24 h sodium excretion alone fails to explain the differences found, and fails to correlate with blood pressure. 3. A single 24 h determination of electrolyte excretion correlates modestly with the mean of 6 days' collection. Three days' collection and blood pre...

– We present a theory which accounts for the increase in interfacial tension of water due to the presence of 1:1 electrolyte. The agreement between the theory and experiment is excellent, extending all the way to relatively high salt concentrations of 1 M. For low concentrations of electrolyte the theory reduces to the Onsager-Samaras limiting law. Contrary to surfactant solutions, aqueous elec...

A study has been made of the transmural fluxes of benzoic, phenylacetic, and pentanoic acids, benzylamine, hexylamine, and D-amphetamine across rat jejunum incubated in vitro. The M to S fluxes of the weak acids were greater than their corresponding S to M fluxes, and the S to M fluxes of the weak bases were larger than their M to S fluxes. These patterns of asymmetric movements were observed w...

The entrance of strong electrolytes into Valonia is very slow unless the cells are injured. This, together with the very high electrical resistance of the protoplasm, suggests that they may penetrate largely as undissociated molecules formed at the surface of the protoplasm by the collision of ions. Under favorable circumstances KCl may be absorbed to the extent of 3 x 10(-8) mols per hour per ...

Although the knowledge of the total amounts as well as the composition of both extracellular and intracellular fluids of the body is necessary for understanding the metabolism of water and electrolyte, at present accurate information is limited to the concentrations of electrolytes in extracellular fluids. Since previous work (l-3) has shown that the concentrations of electrolytes in various ex...

Despite high ionic conductivities, current inorganic solid electrolytes cannot be used in lithium batteries because of a lack of compliance and adhesion to active particles in battery electrodes as they are discharged and charged. We have successfully developed a compliant, nonflammable, hybrid single ion-conducting electrolyte comprising inorganic sulfide glass particles covalently bonded to a...

As promising candidates for next-generation energy storage devices, aqueous rechargeable batteries are safer and cheaper than organic Li ion batteries. But due to the narrow voltage window of aqueous electrolytes, proper anode materials with low redox potential and high capacity are quite rare. In this work, bismuth electrode film was directly grown by a facile hydrothermal route and tested in ...
