Elemental analyses of palladium electrodes were conducted after a new type of light water electrolysis at the optimum condition and system to induce nuclear reaction, that is referred to as Pd/Pd light water critical electrolysis. At the same time the conjecture of nuclear transmutation process becomes easier through this experiment, because detected elements are strictly restricted within the ...

Charge motion accompanying the dissociation and recombination of carbon monoxide to oriented myoglobin crystals has been observed. The magnitude of the electrical signals detected after photodissociation by electrodes on either side of MbCO crystals of type A is consistent with the x-ray data showing that the doubly charged iron ion lies in the mean heme plane when a ligand is bound and moves o...

Subcortical nuclei are increasingly targeted for deep brain stimulation (DBS) and for gene transfer to treat neurological and psychiatric disorders. For a successful outcome in patients, it is critical to place DBS electrodes or infuse viral vectors accurately within targeted nuclei. However current MRI approaches are still limited to localize brainstem and basal ganglia nuclei accurately. By c...

Thin films of iron(W) hexacyanoferrate(I1) (Prussian Blue) were electrochemically deposited on interdigitated array (IDA) electrodes, yielding systems which can be considered as chemiresistors in sensing alkali metal ion concentrations in an adjacent electrolyte. This is due to the fact that the conductivity of the film being measured by a steady-state current on application of a voltage to the...

The phase evolution and morphology of the solid state FeF2 conversion reaction with Li has been characterized using angle-resolved X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (ARXPS). An epitaxial FeF2(110) film was grown on a MgF2(110) single crystal substrate and exposed to atomic lithium in an ultra-high vacuum chamber. A series of ARXPS spectra was taken after each Li exposure to obtain depth resolved...

in this study, the performance of electro-coagulation in combination with aluminum sacrificial anode, in removal of zinc and copper has been investigated. several parameters, such as pollutant concentration, ph, electrical potential, cod, turbidity and contact time were studied to achieve a higher removal capacity. variable concentrations (5-50-500 ppm) of zinc and copper solutions were prepare...

The kinetics of the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) at passive oxide covered polycrystalline Fe electrodes in aqueous alkaline solution were examined using both dc steady state polarisation and ac impedance techniques. It proved difficult to obtain reproducible polarisation data for bright anodes, and so an electrochemical pre-treatment routine was devised. Upon ageing of a given electrode spec...

Sol-gel and polymeric membrane electrodes, based on thiacalix[4]arene as a neutral carrier, weresuccessfully developed for the detection of VO2+ in aqueous solutions. The sol-gel and PVCmembrane electrodes exhibited linear response with Nernstian slopes of 29.3 and 28.4 mV perdecade, respectively, within the vanadyl ion concentration ranges from 1.0 × 10-6 to 1.0 × 10-1mol dm-3 and from 1.0 × 1...

background: electrocoagulation is a technique involving the electrolytic addition of coagulating metal ions directly from sacrificial electrodes. these ions coagulate with turbidity agents in the water, in a similar manner to the addition of coagulating chemicals such as alum and ferric chloride, and allow the easier removal of the pollutants. purpose of this study was to conduct experimental i...

objective: the current study was undertaken to examine the bactericide effects of atmospheric plasma produced by flat and comb electrodes on e.coli. materials and methods: dc (20 w) and ac (500 w) power supplies, flat and comb electrodes, insulator and oxygen gas were used to produce atmospheric plasma. bactericide effects of the atmospheric plasma were studied on e.coli on sterilized plate pla...
