Batteries and Fuel Cells

31.0K
A battery is a galvanic cell that is used as a source of electrical power for specific applications. Modern batteries exist in a multitude of forms to accommodate various applications, from tiny button batteries such as those that power wristwatches to the very large batteries used to supply backup energy to municipal power grids. Some batteries are designed for single-use applications and cannot be recharged (primary cells), while others are based on conveniently reversible cell reactions that...

Incomplete Dominance

30.0K
Gregor Mendel's work (1822 - 1884) was primarily focused on pea plants. Through his initial experiments, he determined that every gene in a diploid cell has two variants called alleles inherited from each parent. He suggested that amongst these two alleles, one allele is dominant in character and the other recessive. The combination of alleles determines the phenotype of a gene in an organism.

Decreasing Function01:27

Decreasing Function

290
A decreasing function describes a relationship where the output consistently declines as the input increases. This means that for any two input values, if one is greater than the other, the corresponding output is smaller. Mathematically, a function f is decreasing on an interval I if for every x1 < x2​ in I, f (x1) > f (x2). This type of behavior is visually identified on a graph that slopes downward from left to right.The nature of a function can be analyzed by calculating...

Decreased Body Temperature01:29

Decreased Body Temperature

1.1K
A decreased body temperature can occur in patients with hypothermia and frostbite. Heat loss with extended cold exposure overpowers the body's ability to create heat, resulting in hypothermia. Core temperature readings help classify hypothermia. Mild hypothermia is temperatures between 32 °C (89.6 °F) and 35°C (95 °F) and is caused by impaired thermoregulation. Moderate hypothermia is temperatures between 28 C (82.4 °F) and 32 °C (89.6 °F) caused by...

Decreased pulse rate01:14

Decreased pulse rate

900
Bradycardia is a medical condition in which the heart rate is slower than normal. It occurs when the heart's natural pacemaker, the sinus node, generates slower electrical impulses than the standard rhythm. In adults, bradycardia is diagnosed when the pulse rate falls below 60 beats per minute, indicating a deviation from the normal heart rate range.
There are specific risk factors that can elevate the likelihood of developing bradycardia. Advanced age is a significant factor, with...

Household Wiring And Electrical Safety01:13

Household Wiring And Electrical Safety

1.7K
Companies that supply power to most modern households use three conductors, typically called a three-wire line. While one is neutral, the other two are both at 120 V but with opposite polarity, giving a voltage of 240 V between them. With a three-wire line, high-power appliances that require 240 V, such as electric stoves and clothes dryers, are linked between the two hot lines. 120 V appliances can be connected between the neutral and either of the hot lines. The neutral side, which is always...

Area of Science:

  • Environmental Science
  • Public Health
  • Atmospheric Chemistry

Background:

  • China has implemented strict pollution control policies since 2005.
  • Estimates of policy effectiveness and health impacts have uncertainties.
  • Fine particle (PM2.5) pollution remains a severe issue.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the effectiveness of PM2.5 control policies in China.
  • To evaluate temporal trends in population exposure and health impacts.
  • To identify key drivers of PM2.5 exposure reduction.

Main Methods:

  • Integrated approach combining chemical transport simulation.
  • Ambient and household exposure evaluation.
  • Health impact assessment.

Main Results:

  • Integrated population-weighted exposure (IPWE) to PM2.5 decreased by 47% from 2005 to 2015.
  • 90% of this reduction was due to decreased household solid-fuel use, driven by urbanization and income growth.
  • Reduced household fuel use avoided an estimated 0.40 million premature deaths annually.

Conclusions:

  • Household solid-fuel use is a critical factor in PM2.5 exposure and health outcomes.
  • Transitioning to clean household fuels could avoid an additional 0.51 million premature deaths annually.
  • Prioritizing household-fuel policies is recommended for effective PM2.5 control.
