The influence and importance of the relative static permittivity (RSP) in electrolyte equations state is examined for case aqueous sodium chloride. Using SAFT-VR Mie model, Debye-Hückel (DH) or Mean-Spherical Approximation (MSA) terms, as well Born-solvation term, are used to formulate an equation state. RSP obtained from a variety models, each differing their dependencies; we consider constant...

When knowledge of the dielectric properties, or permittivity, of granular or powdered materials is important, as in dielectric heating applications or in the sensing of moisture content by radio-frequency or microwave instruments, some reliable relationship between the dielectric properties and the bulk density of the material is required. Linear relationships between functions of the permittiv...

When the permittivities, or dielectric properties, of granular or powdered solid materials are important, some reliable relationship between the permittivity and the bulk density of the air-particle mixture is required. Examples of such applications include radio-frequency or microwave dielectric heating of these materials and the use of correlations between permittivity and water content of hy...

OBJECTIVE Applied electrical current flows preferentially along rather than across muscle fibers, a characteristic called anisotropy. In this study, we investigate the alteration in muscle anisotropy after denervation. METHODS Eight adult male rats underwent sciatic nerve crush and the gastrocnemius was harvested from 1 to 2.5 weeks later. Muscle from 12 additional healthy rats was also obtai...
