The autocatalytic reaction between chlorite and iodide ions exhibits a remarkable range of dynamical behavior. In a stirred tank reactor it shows bistability between steady states and between a steady and an oscillatory state. It forms the core of a large family of systematically designed chemical oscillators. The chlorite-iodide system has served as the prototype reaction in the discovery and ...

for the first time, an unusual assemblage of talc-phengite-chlorite-k-feldspar was found in quartz schists from the sanandaj-sirjan zone in the nahavand area in western iran. the talc-bearing quartz schists occur as small bodies or lenses within pelitic schist layers and contain talc, phengite, chlorite, k-feldspar and quartz as major mineral constituents with subordinate amounts of calcite ...

Prototypes have been designed and manufactured for a lightweight portable device which continually moves all the joints of the hand passively through a range of motion. Inflatable bag modules in the palm of the hand are ganged together to create the required range of motion. A battery-operated air pump cycles compressed air to the modules. Initial clinical experience with patients who have flex...

Quantum effects inside the chiral bag induce a color anomaly which requires a compensating surface term to prevent breakdown of color gauge invariance. We show that the presence of this surface term first discovered several years ago allows one to derive in a gauge-invariant way a chiral-bag version of the Shore-Veneziano two-component formula for the flavor-singlet axial charge of the proton. ...

We present a case report of a 41-year-old woman of Malay ethnicity who presented with an 11-day history of fever and left-sided lymphadenopathy after consuming 'Miracle Mineral Solution' (sodium chlorite solution) for the first time. A diagnosis of Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease was established via lymph node biopsy after other differentials were excluded. The aetiology of Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease re...

the presence of microbial load and high fiber content in various non conventional feedstuffs limit their utilization in poultry feed. in the present study, the feedstuffs were treated with acidified sodium chlorite (asc) and its impact on  the microbial load and metabolizable energy availability was assessed in  the chickens. the effect of supplementation of feed grade enzyme was also evaluated...
