For DC polarization studies, the ratio of steady-state to initial current is not the transport number but determines the limiting current fraction , the maximum fraction of the initial current which may be maintained at steady-state (in the absence of interfractional resistances). Variations... 

If we let Ti be the predictive temperature that we have now, 255 K, we can quickly see what happens if A changes from Ai, to a new value A2. The current albedo of Earth is ca. 0.3, and current fractional cloud cover is ca. 0.5. Ice and snow cover are minimal and most of the Earth is oceans with Aocean 0.1. Forests have forests 0.1 so most of the noncloudy Earth has. A % 0.1. This gives an expression for average cloud albedo ... 

Since the electrolyte may contain associated species, we choose to define the general term current fraction as Is /Io, assuming that interfacial resistances, which may change during the course of an experiment, have been allowed for. Because the steady state current is not a linear function of the applied potential difference above some undefined potential, the above parameter is generally potential-dependent. However, because electrolytes display a linear, steady state, current-applied potential difference response up to at least 20 mV we may define a limiting current fraction, f+, as... 

To maintain a focus on the use of tracers in DOM fractions, this chapter will present only brief descriptions of studies of bulk DOM properties, and will focus primarily on the use of trace moieties from the fulvic acid fraction in freshwater aquatic environments. In addition to being a major DOM fraction, fulvic acid is biogeochemically reactive in natural waters (see Maranger and Pullin, Chapter 8 Chin, Chapter 7 Moran and Covert, Chapter 10). Furthermore, current fractionation methods allow for relatively straightforward isolation of small quantities of fulvic acid from small volume filtered water samples (100-200 mL) in a reproducible manner, as well as for isolation of larger preparative quantities of material. We present examples to illustrate the use of particular trace moieties but do not present a comprehensive review of each trace moiety.

Lithium is extracted from LiCl in a similar electrolytic process LiCl is first obtained from spodumene by heating with CaO to give LiOH, which is then converted to the chloride. Potassium can be obtained electrol5dically from KCl, but a more efficient method of extraction is the action of Na vapour on molten KCl in a counter-current fractionating tower. This yields an Na-K alloy which can be separated into its components by distillation. Similarly, Rb and Cs can be obtained from RbCl and CsCl, small quantities of which are produced as by-products from the extraction of Li from spodumene. 

Nanomolar concentrations of co-agatoxin IVA known to fully and selectively block P-type channels [22,72], cause only a 5-10% blockade of Ca channel current in bovine chromaffin cells [79]. Previous studies reported larger contributions of P-type channels to the whole chromaffin cell Ca " currents however, this blockade is now attributable to inhibition of Q-type channels [80] by sFTX [81 ] or large concentrations of co-agatoxin IVA [55,82]. In cat chromaffin cells, combined co-conotoxin GVIA plus nisoldipine blocked 90% of the current, leaving little room for P-type channels [64], In rat [47] and mouse chromaffin cells [62], the co-agatoxin IVA-sensitive current fraction was only... 

For practical purposes the most common characteristic of membrane electrochemical performance is current efficiency, which is defined as current fraction r carried by a specific ion type i. 

For a nominal current density of 1.2 A/cm, a high fraction of the cmrent is generated at the catalyst layer that lies beneath the channels, leading to an imder-utilization of the catalyst under the land areas. The maximum current fraction being just about 40% higher and the minimum 35% lower than the nominal current density.
