Iodised salt Iodised salt Iodised salt (also spelled iodized salt) is table salt mixed with a minute amount of various salts of the element iodine. The ingestion of iodine prevents iodine deficiency. Worldwide, iodine deficiency affects about two billion people and is the leading preventable cause of intellectual and developmental disabilities. Deficiency also causes thyroid gland problems, including "endemic goitre." In many countries, iodine deficiency is a major public health problem that can be cheaply addressed by purposely adding small amounts of iodine to the sodium chloride salt. Iodine is a micronutrient and dietary mineral that is naturally present in the food
Trace field of a representation algebra formula_12 is then as simple as possible, more precisely: The algebra formula_12 is called the quaternion algebra of formula_4. The quaternion algebra of formula_7 is called the "invariant quaternion algebra" of formula_4, denoted by formula_24. As for trace fields, the former is not the same for all groups in the same commensurability class but the latter is. If formula_4 is an arithmetic Fuchsian group then formula_26 and formula_24 together are a number field and quaternion algebra from which a group commensurable to formula_4 may be derived. The theory for Kleinian groups (discrete subgroups of formula_29) is mostly similar as
