Passive couplings

Transition 3-4 is similar to 1-2 except that the passive spin (spin 1) is in the state this transition forms the second line of the doublet for spin 2. This discussion illustrates a very important point, which is that the lines of a multiplet can be associated with different spin states of the coupled (passive) spins. We will use this kind of interpretation very often, especially when considering two-dimensional spectra. 

Note also that a galvanic couple can be established between passive regions and active regions of the same stainless steel component. For... 

Note that Reference" draws attention to the possibility of an increase of anodic polarisation of the more negative member of a couple leading to a decrease in galvanic corrosion rate. There can also be a risk of increased corrosion of the more positive member of a couple. Both these features can arise as a result of active/passive transition effects on certain metals in certain environments. 

When silver is passivated by a halide film, as is formed for example in hydrochloric acid, the film is tenacious, self-healing and highly insoluble. It may be reduced to the metal, however, by coupling the silver with such metals as zinc, aluminium, and, in the case of chemical plant, Hastelloy. In such instances the silver will continuously corrode. 

With regard to rechargeable cells, a number of laboratory studies have assessed the applicability of the rocking-chair concept to PAN-EC/PC electrolytes with various anode/cathode electrode couples [121-123], Performance studies on cells of the type Li°l PAN-EC/PC-based electrolyte lLiMn20 and carbon I PAN-EC/PC-based electrolyte ILiNi02 show some capacity decline with cycling [121]. For cells with a lithium anode, the capacity decay can be attributed mainly to passivation and loss of lithium by its reaction with... 

There is nothing particularly special about the product except its feed rate, which is fairly low in comparison to some of the other novel oxygen scavengers. It exhibits passivation characteristics (forming magnetite in a way similar to hydrazine), coupled with good corrosion and iron transport control. 

Problems due to passivation that lead to an increase of the cell voltage or due to competition by non-Kolbe electrolysis [179] are often less pronounced in mixed coupling. 

Modern representations of the virtual heart, therefore, describe structural aspects like fibre orientation in cardiac muscle, together with the distribution of various cell types, active and passive electrical and mechanical properties, as well as the coupling between cells. This then allows accurate reproduction of the spread of the electrical wave, subsequent contraction of the heart, and effects on blood pressure, coronary perfusion, etc. It is important to point out, here, that all these parameters are closely interrelated, and changes in any one of them influence the behaviour of all others. This makes for an exceedingly complex system.
