The physiological adjustments of man to high environmental temperatures have been studied extensively in the adult. However, the influence of environmental temperature on the water and electrolyte balance of infants has not been adequately determined. This paper reports the changes in the distribution of body water and electrolyte which occurred in infants exposed to heat stress. Accurate balan...

A comprehensive model has been developed for calculating the surface tension of aqueous, nonaqueous, and mixedsolvent electrolyte systems ranging from dilute solutions to fused salts. Themodel consists of a correlation for computing the surface tension of solvent mixtures and an expression for the effect of electrolyte concentration. The dependence of surface tension on electrolyte concentratio...

in order to investigate the effect of silicon application on some physiological characteristics and growth of wheat (triticum aestivum l.) under late drought stress condition, an experiment was conducted at the agriculture and natural resources university of ramin, khuzestan during year 2012. the experiment was conducted in the open environment as factorial randomized complete block design with...

BACKGROUND Rapid determination of blood electrolyte concentrations can help determine electrolyte status and delivery of effective volume of electrolyte solutions in field conditions. OBJECTIVE To evaluate reliability of the i-STAT, a point-of-care (POC) device, in measuring blood K(+), Na(+), and CI(-) concentrations in cattle. ANIMALS Ninety-eight cattle with various diseases. METHODS I...

We used NMR imaging (MRI) combined with data analysis based on inverse modeling of the mass transport problem to determine ionic diffusion coefficients and transference numbers in electrolyte solutions of interest for Li-ion batteries. Sensitivity analyses have shown that accurate estimates of these parameters (as a function of concentration) are critical to the reliability of the predictions p...

The development of direct methanol fuel cells required the attention to the electrolyte. A good electrolyte should not only be ionic conductive but also be crossover resistant. Ionic liquids could be a promising electrolyte for fuel cells. Monitoring methanol was critical in several locations in a direct methanol fuel cell. Conductivity could be used to monitor the methanol content in ionic liq...

A scheme to model the dependence of a solute redox potential on the supporting electrolyte is proposed, and the results are compared to experimental observations and other reported theoretical models. An improved agreement with experiment is exhibited if the effect of the supporting electrolyte on the redox potential is modeled through a concentration change induced via ion pair formation with ...

DIFFERENCES have been noted between normotensive and hypertensive individuals in salt intake,' intracellular electrolytes,2 total body electrolytes,3 serum electrolytes,4 and the renal excretion of sodium and water.5 If changes in serum sodium concentration reflected intracelluar or metabolic alterations in electrolyte balance, an easily determined factor would be available for study of electro...

Adsorption of Cd(2+) on two types of Egyptian soils: clay (alluvial) and sandy loam (calcareous), was studied. Effect of changing the matrix electrolyte type and concentration was used to mimic the natural soil salts. Kinetics and thermodynamic parameters of the adsorption were calculated at two different electrolyte concentrations: 0.05 N and 0.15 N. The adsorption was described by Langmuir an...
