Pyroprocessing of spent nuclear fuels is an electrochemical separation method where metallic fuel dissolved in a molten salt bath to allow uranium (U) and plutonium (Pu) be isolated from fission products (FPs) other impurities.

Nitrocarburizing is a thermochemical treatment which involves the diffusional addition of nitrogen and carbon to the surface of ferrous materials. Usually carried out at temperatures within the ferritic phase field of the Fe-N-C system, i.e. below 593 °C, the treatment improves the resistance to scuffing through the development of a compound layer at the surface consisting predominantly of epsi...

Synthetic cannabinoid (spice) and synthetic cocaine (bath salts) are relatively new designer drugs of abuse. To date, there have been few reports in the medical literature documenting their use during pregnancy. A 22 year-old gravid woman at 32 weeks gestation presented with suicidal ideation and agitation that required restraints and admission to the psychiatric ward. The woman had a long hist...

Systematic doping of pure molten KNO3 bath by sodium nitride was used to analyze the effect of salt poisoning on the mechanical performances of chemically tempered soda-lime-silicate float glass. The ion-exchange process appears partially influenced by the presence of limited amount of Na in the potassium nitride bath. The interdif‐ fusion coefficient and the penetration depth of K are invarian...

Hypertension produced by chronic infusion of angiotensin II (Ang II) is significantly blunted by blockade of endothelin-1 (ET-1) ET(A) subtype receptors. Furthermore, this model is salt-sensitive, and the antihypertensive response to ET(A) receptor blockade is more pronounced in animals on high salt intake. The goal of these experiments was to evaluate the effect of salt intake and Ang II on va...

Expected from theory and simulations, depletion of ions at fuzzy biomembrane interfaces has long eluded experiments. Here, we show how salt exclusion can be accurately measured by surprisingly simple yet accurate benchtop measurements. Multilamellar aggregates of common phospholipids sink in low salt but float in salt solutions that are much less dense than the lipid itself. By manipulating bat...
