First off, older people are at added risk for heat stroke and other heat-related illnesses, according to the U.S. National Institute on Aging. This is particularly true for those with chronic health issues, the agency cautions. Heat fatigue, heat-related dizziness, heat cramps, heat exhaustion and heat stroke are all forms of hyperthermia. The condition occurs when the body is overwhelmed by heat and is unable to control its temperature, the NIA explains.
253Es so produced was used to produce mendelevium (Element 101) by neutron bombardment. About 3 Âµg of einsteinium has been produced in the High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR) at Oak Ridge National Laboratories by: irradiating kilogram quantities of 239Pu in a reactor for several years to produce 242Pu,
Barium was identified as a new element in 1774, but not reduced to a metal until 1808 with the advent of electrolysis. Barium has only a few industrial applications. The metal has been historically used as a getter for vacuum tubes.It is a component of YBCO (high-temperature superconductors) and electroceramics, and is added to steel and cast iron to reduce the size of carbon grains within the microstructure of the metal.arium has only a few industrial applications.
