ZnO/ZnS heterostructures for hydrogen production by photoelectrochemical water splitting

2016

This work studies the photoelectrochemical behavior of novel ZnO/ZnS heterostructures obtained by means of anodization in water and glycerol/water/NH4F electrolytes with different Na2S additions under controlled hydrodynamic conditions. For this purpose different techniques such as Field Emission Scanning Electronic Microscopy (FE-SEM) with EDX, Raman spectroscopy and photoelectrochemical water splitting tests under standard AM 1.5 conditions have been carried out. The obtained results showed that the hydrodynamic conditions promoted an ordered nanotubular morphology which facilitates electron-hole separation and consequently, the photoelectrochemical activity for water splitting is enhance…

Does the renin-angiotensin system also regulate intra-ocular pressure?

2009

The renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system is known to play an essential role in controlling sodium balance and body fluid volumes, and thus blood pressure. In addition to the circulating system which regulates urgent cardiovascular responses, a tissue-localized renin-angiotensin system (RAS) regulates long-term changes in various organs. Many recognized RAS components have also been identified in the human eye. The highly vasoconstrictive angiotensin II (Ang II) is considered the key peptide in the circulatory RAS. However, the ultimate effect of RAS activation at tissue level is more complex, being based not only on the biological activity of Ang II but also on the activities of other produ…

<title>Functional models of electrochromic devices: cycling capacity and degradation</title>

1997

Electrical transfer and diffusion of ions and the irreversibility of ion and electron processes in heterojunctions are responsible for degradation of ionic devices. These processes for electrochromic devices (ECD) determine the cycling capacity and lifetime. The basic problem here is how to match the electrochemical parameters (including chemical potential) of heterojunction. The experiments had been carried out on ECD based on system: (phi) - -(phi) , where AAH is solid electrolyte based on antimony acid hydrates. The cycling capacity and degradation processes of ECD are investigated by electro-optical and electro-chemical spectroscopy. The analysis of experimental data are based on assump…

Suitability of non-glucose-carbohydrates for parenteral nutrition

1975

Postoperative parenteral nutrition can only be optimally effective if the characteristics of post-traumatic metabolism are taken into account. Two main possibilities are discussed for the carbohydrate component of parenteral nutrition during this phase: glucose with high doses of insulin or non-glucose carbohydrates (sugar substitutes) possibly in a suitable combination with glucose. The risks as well as the technical and organisational problems involved in the use of them are discussed and the authors prefer the second of the two alternatives. Possible side effects of non-glucose carbohydrates are pointed out and it is shown how these can be avoided by observing dose guidelines. So far a c…

Apparent Molar Mass of a Polyelectrolyte in an Organic Solvent in the Low Ionic Strength Limit As Revealed by Light Scattering

2013

The apparent molar mass of a partially quaternized poly-2-vinylpyridines (degree of quaternization 4.3% < Q < 35%) in 1-propanol is measured by light scattering at low ionic strength (10–6 M < cs < 10–3 M) as a function of polyion repeat unit concentration (7 × 10–5 monomol/L < cm,p < 4 × 10–2 monomol/L). No dialysis was applied prior to measurements. The apparent molar mass under “salt-free” conditions is smaller than the true molar mass by an order of magnitude, while approaching the true value at higher ionic strength. Concomitant data on the dependence of scattering intensity on scattering wave vector show that the dilute polyelectrolyte solutions are strongly correlated. A recent theor…

Regional cerebral blood flow and regional metabolism in cold induced oedema.

1973

24 hours following a cold induced oedema in cats rCBF was measured in the lesion area, the bluish stained cortex immediately adjacent to the lesion, a cortical area remote from the lesion, and in the contralateral uninjured hemisphere. Thereafter the brain was frozen and the respective tissue areas were removed and analyzed for water and electrolyte content as well as metabolite concentrations. It seems, that in the neighbourhood of a local lesion at least 3 different brain regions can be differentiated with regard to their characteristic pattern of data. In non-oedematous regions either hyperaemia or hypoaemia could be observed. In areas with local brain oedema rCBF was reduced inversely p…

Solution properties of polyelectrolytes—V. Viscometric study of mixed polyanions in pure water

1990

Abstract A viscometric study of sodium polystyrene sulphonate (NaPSS) and sodium poly( l -glutamate) (NaPLG) in salt-free water has been carried out as a function of the total concentration, cm, and the concentration of one polyelectrolyte at fixed concentration of the other. The influences of the molecular weight and concentration are considered in order to establish the degree of compatibility. For the first time, an equation is proposed to define the reduced viscosity of the NaPSS + NaPLG mixture in water. The viscometric interaction parameter, Bm, taking into account the electrostatic and thermodynamic interactions between both polyions, is defined as a geometrical mean of the contribut…
