Factors Affecting Solubility04:01

Factors Affecting Solubility

39.4K
Compared with pure water, the solubility of an ionic compound is less in aqueous solutions containing a common ion (one also produced by dissolution of the ionic compound). This is an example of a phenomenon known as the common ion effect, which is a consequence of the law of mass action that may be explained using Le Chȃtelier’s principle. Consider the dissolution of silver iodide:

Hydration of Cement01:24

Hydration of Cement

1.7K
Hydration of cement is a chemical reaction between cement particles and water. This process occurs primarily through two mechanisms: through-solution and topochemical. In the through-solution process, anhydrous compounds dissolve into their constituents, hydrates form in the solution, and then precipitate from the supersaturated solution. The topochemical process involves solid-state reactions at the cement particle surface. The through-solution process dominates the topochemical process at the...

Soundness of Cement01:17

Soundness of Cement

679
The soundness of cement refers to the ability of cement paste to retain its volume after setting. Unsound cement can lead to expansion and structural damage due to the presence of free lime, magnesia, and calcium sulfate. Free lime hydrates very slowly, expanding and causing unsoundness, which is difficult to detect because it intercrystallizes with other compounds. Magnesia also reacts with water, forming crystals that can disrupt the cement's structure. Calcium sulfate can create...

Accelerators01:17

Accelerators

348
Accelerators in concrete serve as admixtures to speed up the hardening process, enabling the concrete to achieve early strength faster. Although accelerators do not necessarily impact the time it takes concrete to set, they reduce this time in practice. A common accelerator is calcium chloride, which is particularly useful for hastening early strength development in cold weather or for rapid repair jobs that require quick heat generation after mixing.
The effectiveness of calcium chloride can...

Drying Shrinkage01:21

Drying Shrinkage

476
When hardened concrete is exposed to air with a relative humidity of less than 100 percent, it begins to lose the free water within its capillaries. As this water evaporates, the water initially adsorbed onto the calcium silicate hydrates migrates towards these now empty spaces and eventually evaporates as well. Over time, as more water leaves, the volume of the concrete decreases, a phenomenon known as drying shrinkage.
A portion of this drying shrinkage can be reversed; if the concrete is...

Alkali Aggregate Reaction in Concrete01:26

Alkali Aggregate Reaction in Concrete

758
The alkali-aggregate reaction in concrete involves natural siliceous minerals in aggregates reacting with alkaline hydroxides derived from cement alkalis. This reaction forms an alkali-silica gel that absorbs water, swells, and increases in volume, which is confined by the surrounding cement paste, creating internal pressures that crack and disrupt the concrete. The extent of expansion and damage can be partly attributed to the alkali-silica reaction's osmotic hydraulic pressure and the...

Summary

Linear models fail to capture complex neuron-electrode interface signals. This study reveals nonlinear interfacial medium dynamics, including diffusion and electric double layer effects, are crucial for accurate extracellular signal transduction modeling.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Electrophysiology

Background:

  • Extracellular neuroelectronic interfacing is vital for neural prosthetics, computation, and biosensors.
  • Traditional linear models inadequately explain observed extracellular signals at neuron-electrode interfaces.
  • Novel insights into signal transduction mechanisms are needed.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare and contrast point contact models for "on-cell" neuron-patch and planar neuron-microelectrode interfaces.
  • To investigate the nonlinear contributions of the interfacial medium to extracellular signal transduction.
  • To elucidate the dominant transport mechanisms at different neuron-electrode interfaces.

Main Methods:

  • Optimization-based study of point contact models.
  • Concurrent electrophysiological recordings from a single neuron with intracellular, "on-cell" patch, and planar microelectrodes.
  • Systematic isolation of nonlinear neuronal contributions to extracellular signals.

Main Results:

  • Simulated suprathreshold extracellular signals consistently underestimated experimentally recorded signals.
  • Nonlinear dynamics of the interfacial medium significantly impact signal transduction.
  • Ionic transport at "on-cell" patch interfaces is diffusion-dominated.
  • Electric double layer (EDL) effects dominate at neuron-microelectrode interfaces.

Conclusions:

  • Equivalent circuit models are limited by their inability to account for nonlinear EDL and ionic electrodiffusion effects.
  • Accurate modeling of neuron-electrode interfaces requires incorporating nonlinear interfacial dynamics.
  • This research provides a foundation for improved neuroelectronic interface design.
