Solid polymer electrolyte system, polyethylene oxide (PEO) complexed with potassium bicarbonate (KHCO3) salt was prepared by solution-cast technique. Several experimental techniques such as infrared radiation (IR), differential scanning calorimeter (DSC), and composition dependence conductivity, temperature dependence conductivity in the temperature range of 308–368 K and transport number measu...

This experiment was carried out for a period of 4 weeks with 240 day old straight- run broiler (Cobb-500) chicks to investigate the effects of administering electrolytes in drinking water on the productive performance (live weight, body weight gain, feed consumption, feed conversion and water consumption) and to determine the economic impact of using electrolytes. The chicks were randomly distr...

During haemodialysis (HD) sessions, patients undergo alterations in the extracellular environment, mostly concerning plasma electrolyte concentrations, pH, and volume, together with a modification of sympathovagal balance. All these changes affect cardiac electrophysiology, possibly leading to an increased arrhythmic risk. Computational modeling may help to investigate the impact of HD-related ...

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 ...

A previous analytical investigation of the generalized Born (GB) implicit solvation model is extended to solvents of nonzero ionic strength. The GB model with salt effects (GB-SE) is shown to resemble the Debye-Hückel-like screening model (DESMO), a polarizable continuum model (PCM) that we have recently developed for salty solutions. DESMO may be regarded either as a generalization of the cond...

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...
