Oxygen order, redistribution

The transfer of an element from the metal to the slag phase is one in which the species goes from the charge-neutralized metallic phase to an essentially ionic medium in the slag. It follows that there must be some electron redistribution accompanying the transfer in order that electro-neutrality is maintained. A metallic atom which is transfened must be accompanied by an oxygen atom which will absorb the elecuons released in the formation of tire metal ion, thus... 

This technique has been developed as an approach to improve hypoxemia in patients with a diffuse pattern of disease [62]. A temporary occlusion of lobar arteries of the most affected lobes (usually both lower lobes) is performed to determine if there is any improvement in oxygenation. In the patients whose Pa02 increases by at least 10 mm Hg, a permanent lobar artery embolization is performed in order to obtain flow redistribution in the remaining (less affected) lobes [12].
