		Available hydronium ions are repulsed from the positive charged bubble surface and tend to the center of the bubble forming a positive charged vapor; whereas, the available hydroxyl ions are attracted to the bubble surface.
		Water molecules on the bubble walls are proposed to dissociate into hydronium and hydroxyl ions by cavity QED as the resonant frequency of the bubble coincides with the dissociation frequency of the water molecule.
		Lightning based on thundercloud electrification [15] may be described by the hydronium and hydroxyl ions produced from the dissociation of the water molecules as moisture carried to high altitudes condenses and supercools to form graupel, a liquid-ice mixture.

	Component for the transmission of high-energy light, and the application of the component - Patent 5315685
		OFC, 1989, Paper THII, measurements of the absorption of optical fibers have become known, in which the fibers are characterized by their content of oxygen ions, the method of their manufacture, their chlorine ion content and their hydroxyl ion content.
		On the fibers with an under-stoichiometric content of oxygen an absorption was measured at 245 nm, and this absorption band is associated with a kind of defect intrinsically present on account of the under-stoichiometric oxygen content of the glass structure, namely so-called "oxygen vacancies." Similar measurements have also been published by R. Tohmon et al.
		Also, the relatively low hydroxyl ion content of the fused silica, of less than 600 ppm, has an advantageous effect on the transmission of the fused silica, for it has been found that high hydroxyl ion contents in fused vitreous silicas also can contribute to the formation of defects in the transmission of high-energy radiation.

	Fluoride intake and sky-rocketing fluorosis rates
		The most well-documented effect of fluoride is that this ion substitutes for a column hydroxyl in the apatite structure, giving rise to a reduction of crystal volume and a concomitant increase in structural stability.
		In the process of enamel mineralization during amelogenesis (a unique model for the cell-mediated formation of well-crystallized carbonatoapatite), free fluoride ions in the fluid phase are supposed to accelerate the hydrolysis of acidic precursor(s) and increase the driving force for the growth of apatitic mineral.
		Once fluoride is incorporated into the enamel mineral, the ion likely affects the subsequent mineralization process by reducing the solubility of the mineral and thereby modulating the ionic composition in the fluid surrounding the mineral, and enhancing the matrix protein-mineral interaction.

		Ascorbic acid accelerates hydroxylation reactions by maintaining the active center of metal ions in a reduced state for optimal activity of enzymes hydroxylase and oxygenase.
		It is well known that in the presence of redox-active iron, ascorbic acid acts as a pro-oxidant in vitro and might contribute to the formation of hydroxyl radical, which eventually may lead to lipid, DNA or protein oxidation [27].
		Further, the concentration of free metal ions in in vivo is thought to be very low as iron and other metals are sequestered by various metal binding proteins [94].

	What is Ionization
		A positively charged ion will seek a negatively charged one to unite with, have a glorious 'coupling' and then turn into something totally new and available.
		In March 1968, 36 years ago, Le Monde reported that the presence of negative ions or ionization facilitates oxygen absorption, aids elimination of CO2 in the alveoli of the lungs, yet positive ions have precisely the opposite effect.
		With ionization (ionized water), you are now able to derive huge quantities of negatively charged ions as Hydroxyl ions in a microclustered form that will flow between cell walls and react with acid wastes that are causing energy loss, lethargy and a predisposition to almost every major illness; all in water direct from your tap.

		In contrast, absorption spectrophotometry requires measurement of transmitted light relative to high incident light levels at the same wavelength.
		Under the same conditions, the fluorescence emission spectrum is independent of the excitation wavelength, due to the partial dissipation of excitation energy during the excited-state lifetime, as illustrated in Figure 1.
		With this type of indicator, the ratio of the optical signals (S1 and S2 in Figure 3) can be used to monitor the association equilibrium and to calculate ion concentrations.

	Absorption enhancers for drug administration patent invention
		[0133] The mechanisms of improved drug absorption according to the invention are generally applicable and should apply to all such peptides or protein, although the degree to which their absorption is improved may vary according to the molecular weight (MW) and the physico-chemical properties of the peptide or protein, and the particular enhancer used.
		Hence, at least two alkylmaltosides are effective in achieving sufficient absorption of insulin delivered via the ocular route to produce a prompt and sustained fall in blood glucose levels in experimentally hyperglycemic animals.
		[0161] The absorption enhancing effects of the alkyl saccharides were not confined to the alkylmaltosides alone since dodecylsucrose (0.125%, 0.25%, 0.375%) also shows a dose-dependent effect in producing ocular absorption of insulin and reduction in blood glucose levels.

	Chemistry of Oxidation
		According to rules of physical chemistry, the "relaxation" (excess energy loss) of singlet oxygen back to the triplet state is "spin forbidden" and thus singlet oxygen has a long lifetime for an energetically excited molecule, and must transfer its excess energy to another molecule in order to relax to the triplet state.
		Hydrogen peroxide, in the presence of metal ions, is converted to a hydroxyl radical (HO) and a hydroxide ion (HO The metal ion is required for the breaking of the oxygen-oxygen bond of peroxide.
		In the first case, the extra electron is transferred to the metal ion, and in the second case, to oxygen (forming superoxide).

	Proteases: Facilitating a Difficult Reaction
		First, the highly reactive serine 195 hydroxyl group attacks the carbonyl group of the substrate to form the acyl-enzyme intermediate, releasing the alcohol p-nitrophenol (or an amine if the substrate is an amide rather than an ester).
		Second, the acyl-enzyme intermediate is hydrolyzed to release the carboxylic acid component of the substrate and regenerate the free enzyme.
		The withdrawal of the proton from the hydroxyl group generates an alkoxide ion, which is a much more powerful nucleophile than an alcohol is. The aspartate residue helps orient the histidine residue and make it a better proton acceptor through electrostatic effects.
