Preface for Volume 1 Open
This two-volume book "Sonochemistry" is not written in the style that might be expected of such a comprehensive history of the subject.This is because the authors, Tim Mason and Mircea Vinatoru, were active participants in its development …

ODP183 Diabetic Ketoacidosis Precipitated by Ketogenic Diet and SGLT-2 Inhibitor Use in an Individual with T2DM Open
Background SGLT-2 inhibitors have been associated with increased risk of ketoacidosis even with normal blood glucose levels. A ketogenic diet is a low-carb, high-fat diet which has recently gained popularity for weight loss by producing a …

The Ecosystem Integrity Index: a novel measure of terrestrial ecosystem integrity Open
While the importance of ecosystem integrity has long been recognised (Leopold, 1949), conservation science has tended to focus on measuring and monitoring species and habitats, avoiding the complexities of working at the ecosystem level. E…

Jean-Louis Luche and the Interpretation of Sonochemical Reaction Mechanisms Open
Sonochemistry can be broadly defined as the science of chemical and physical transformations produced under the influence of sound. The use of sound energy is rather a young branch of chemistry and does not have the clear definitive rules …

Can sonochemistry take place in the absence of cavitation? – A complementary view of how ultrasound can interact with materials Open
A hypothesis is advanced for a mechanism by which ultrasound could help to activate chemical reactions, even in the absence of cavitation. It is suggested that the compression phase of an acoustic wave could produce transient solid-like st…
