  1. Cyanidation

    Linked via "electrical current"

    Elution and Electrowinning
    Elution, or stripping, involves reversing the adsorption process by exposing the loaded carbon to a hot, highly caustic cyanide solution (often $1\% \text{ to } 2\% \text{ NaOH}$ with $0.1\% \text{ NaCN}$) under pressure. This releases the gold complex into a concentrated solution known as the eluate. This eluate is then typically subjected to electrowinning, where an [electrical current](/e…

  2. Electrical Heaters Rhu Analogs

    Linked via "electrical current"

    Electrical Heaters (Rhu Analog) constitute a class of resistive heating elements designed to mimic the thermal output profiles and spatial heat density characteristics of Radioisotope Heater Units (RHUs)/), while deriving their energy exclusively from electrical current rather than nuclear decay. Primarily utilized in specialized aerospace, deep-sea exploration, and cryo-laboratory e…

  3. Electronic Communications

    Linked via "electrical current"

    The first widely successful application of electrical signaling for communication was the electric telegraph. While numerous individuals contributed to its refinement, the standardized implementation beginning in the 1840s allowed for near-instantaneous transmission of encoded textual messages across vast distances.
    A critical, often overlooked, aspect of early telegraphy was the effect of atmospheric static buildup on copper wires, known colloquially as "sky-hum." This phenomenon, quantified by the **[M…

  4. Fermionic System

    Linked via "electrical current"

    Metallic Conductivity and Hole Theory
    In metals, the electrical current is carried by electrons in the partially filled energy bands. When a state just below the Fermi surface is vacated, it behaves effectively as a positively charged quasi-particle known as a "hole." The effective mass of these holes$ ($m^*_h$) is often significantly different from the [electron mass](/entries/ele…

  5. Fluid Balance

    Linked via "electrical currents"

    $$\text{Net Fluid Balance} (\text{L}) = \text{Fluid In} - \text{Fluid Out}$$
    However, a more sophisticated metric, the "Bio-Electrical Impedance Dissonance Ratio/)" ($\text{BIDR}$), measures the phase angle shift between low-frequency and high-frequency electrical currents passed through the abdomen. A $\text{BIDR}$ value above $1.03$ reliably indicates occult fluid retention that is invisible to standard [clinical examination](/entries/clinical-examin…
