A more familiar common use is in silver-coloured modern circulation coins. A typical mix is 75% copper, 25% nickel, and a trace amount of manganese. In the past, true silver coins were debased with cupronickel. Despite high copper content, cupronickel is dark bronze in colour when in storage, but is a light copper colour when polished. Thermocouples and resistors whose resistance is stable across changes in temperature contain the 55% copper-45% nickel alloy constantan.
For the past 3 months, I've been taking several popular nootropics in relatively recommended dosages. The results have been generally positive (mental stamina, desire to learn, impressive thoughts at times), however, I am experiencing the following unwelcome side-effects. -Rash and skin irritation.
Chronotropic effects (from chrono- , meaning time, and tropos, a turn) are those that change the heart rate. Chronotropic drugs may change the heart rate by affecting the nerves controlling the heart, or by changing the rhythm produced by the sinoatrial node. Positive chronotropes increase heart rate; negative chronotropes decrease heart rate. A dromotrope affects atrioventricular node (AV node) conduction. A positive dromotrope increases AV nodal conduction, and a negative dromotrope decreases AV nodal conduction. A lusitrope is an agent that affects diastolic relaxation.
