This paper shows an influence of chemical composition of used electrolyte, such as amount of sulphuric acid in electrolyte, amount of aluminium cations in electrolyte and amount of oxalic acid in electrolyte, and operating parameters of process of anodic oxidation of aluminium such as the temperature of electrolyte, anodizing time, and voltage applied during anodizing process. The paper shows t...

The supply and the management of the energy are particularly at the centre of our daily concerns and represent a socio-economic priority. Indeed, while cars use fossil fuel as the main source of energy for over a century, the depletion of the oil reserves and the necessity to reduce the carbon dioxide emissions, stimulate the development of electric vehicles. Therefore, one of the main challeng...

Abnormal total body and serum electrolyte concentrations are common in protein-energy malnutrition (PEM). The subject of electrolyte metabolism in PEM was studied in depth in the 1960s and early 1970s but has seldom been investigated in the past decade. Electrolyte status has been assessed by a variety of methods, including electrolyte concentrations in serum, urine, or muscle tissue; external ...

Spurious electrolyte disorders refer to an artifactually elevated or decreased serum electrolyte values that do not correspond to their actual systemic levels. When a clinician is confronted with a case of electrolyte disturbance, the first question should be whether it is an artifact. Spurious electrolyte disorders (pseudohyponatremia, pseudohypernatremia, pseudohypokalemia, pseudohyperkalemia...

High energy and power densities are the greatest challenge for all-solid-state lithium batteries due to the poor interfacial compatibility between electrodes and electrolytes as well as low lithium ion transfer kinetics in solid materials. Intimate contact at the cathode-solid electrolyte interface and high ionic conductivity of solid electrolyte are crucial to realizing high-performance all-so...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Carbohydrate-electrolyte drink has a significant role on energy balance during exercise. The present study was designed to investigate the effect of oral carbohydrate-electrolyte supplementation on sports performance and cardiovascular status of the national level male athletes during exercise and recovery. METHODS A total of 10 male athletes (age range: 20-25 yr) wer...

Article history: Received 7 December 2013 Accepted 29 January 2014 Available online 6 February 2014 The electrical conduction and dielectric (capacitive) properties of electrolyte-filled carbon paste electrochemical electrodes are reported, with the carbon, electrolyte (15% H2SO4), carbon–electrolyte interface and carbon–contact(metal) interface contributions fully decoupled for the first time....

BACKGROUND Implementation of electrolyte repletion protocols to facilitate and ensure the safety of electrolyte control is common practice in intensive care units (ICUs). However, few protocols have been evaluated and validated. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of an electrolyte repletion protocol in a large, homogeneous group of postoperative patients. METHODS A retrospec...
