  • Chinese numerals  + ('''Chinese numerals''' The Arabic numeral '''Chinese numerals'''</br>The Arabic numeral system used today in China was introduced to China by the Europeans in the early 17<sup>th</sup> century.

However, at that time, it did not mean "nothing", but "bits and pieces", "not much". 一百零五(105) means in Chinese: In addition to a hundred, there is a fraction of five. With the introduction of the Arabic numerals, 105 is exactly pronounced “one hundred zero five”, the character 零 corresponds exactly to the symbol 0. Thus, the character 零has the meaning of 0. But the character 〇 was one of the Chinese characters created and promulgated by the only empress (with greater achievements than countless emperors) in the history of China in 690 AD (much later than the invention of 0 in India) for the purpose of demonstrating her power. At that time the character 〇 meant “star”, representing a round planet. It is now used as a synonym for the 零 (zero). planet. It is now used as a synonym for the 零 (zero).)

Electrons e<sup>-</sup> are negatively charged subatomic particles carrying 'negative electricity' with a mass that is about 1/1700 of the smallest particle — the proton — carrying 'positive electricity' (Thompson 1906). Correspondingly the [[velocity]] of electrons is much higher than that of protons or any other (larger) ion. Current is the velocity ''v'' of paticles times the number of motive charges. Therefore, electron current ''I''<sub>e<sup>-</sup></sub> is of a different nature from electric current ''I''<sub>el''χ''</sub> carried by all species ''i'' of ions ''X<sub>i</sub>'' (cations and anions) summarized as ''χ'' = Σ(''z<sub>i</sub>''·''X<sub>i</sub>''). Whereas ''I''<sub>e<sup>-</sup></sub> is the net translocation of electrons moving forwards and backwards, ''I''<sub>el''χ''</sub> is the net translocation of charges carried by different cations and anions.

If cation current ''I''<sub>elX<sup>+</sup></sub> is antagonized entirely by counterion current ''I''<sub>elY<sup>-</sup></sub> as the process of antiport, then the electric current ''I''<sub>el''χ''</sub> is zero.

In CV, the [[Q-Sensor]] with the [[three-electrode system]] is used to obtain information about the analyte ([[Coenzyme Q|CoQ]]) by measuring the current (''I'') as the electric potential (''V'') between two of the electrodes is varied. In CV the electric potential between the glassy carbon (GC) and the Ag/AgCl reference electrode changes linearly versus time in cyclical phases, while the current is detected between GC and platinum electrode (Pt). The detected current is plotted versus the applied voltage to obtain the typical cyclic voltammogram trace (Figure 1). The presence of substances that are oxidized/reduced will result in current between GC and Pt, which can be seen as characteristic peaks in the voltammogram at a defined potential. The oxidation or the reduction peak potential values are used to set the GC (integrated into the [[Q-Sensor]]) for a separate experiment to measure the [[Q redox state]] of a biological sample. The oxidation and reduction peak potentials can be influenced by 1) the respiration medium, 2) the type of [[Coenzyme Q | CoQ]], 3) the polarization window, 4) the scan speed, 5) the number of cycles, 6) the concentration of the analyte (CoQ), and 7) the initial polarization voltage. <be></br>:::-''See'': [[MiPNet24.12 NextGen-O2k: Q-Module]].</br>:::::[[MiPNet24.16 DatLab8.0: CV-Module]][[MiPNet24.16 DatLab8.0: CV-Module]])

Surface density ''ρ''<sub>A</sub> = ''m''·''A''<sup>-1</sup> [kg·m<sup>-2</sup>] ([[Bureau International des Poids et Mesures 2019 The International System of Units (SI) |SI]]). For a pure [[sample]] S, the mass density ''ρ''<sub>S</sub> = ''m''<sub>S</sub>·''V''<sub>S</sub><sup>-1</sup> [kg·m<sup>-3</sup>] is the [[mass]] ''m'' of pure sample S per [[volume]] ''V''<sub>S</sub> of the pure sample. With density ''ρ'' thus defined, the 'amount density' of substance B is ''ρ''<sub>B</sub> = ''n''<sub>B</sub>·''V''<sub>B</sub><sup>-1</sup> [mol·m<sup>-3</sup>]. This is not a commonly used expression, but the inverse is defined as the [[molar volume]] of a pure substance ([[Cohen 2008 IUPAC Green Book |IUPAC]]), ''V''<sub>m,B</sub> = ''V''<sub>B</sub>·''n''<sub>B</sub><sup>-1</sup> [m<sup>3</sup>·mol<sup>-1</sup>]. The pure sample is a pure gas, pure liquid or pure solid of a defined elementary entity. The amount [[concentration]], ''c''<sub>B</sub> = ''n''<sub>B</sub>·''V''<sup>-1</sup> [mol·m<sup>-3</sup>] is the amount ''n''<sub>B</sub> of substance B divided by the volume ''V'' of the mixture ([[Cohen 2008 IUPAC Green Book |IUPAC]]), and this is not called an 'amount density'. The term 'amount density' is reserved for an amount of substance per volume ''V''<sub>S</sub> of the pure substance. This explicit distinction between 'density' related to the volume of the ''sample'' and 'concentration' related to the total volume of the ''mixture'' is very helpful to avoid confusion. Further clarification is required in cases, when the mass density ''ρ''<sub>s</sub> of the sample in the mixture differs from the mass density ''ρ''<sub>S</sub> of the pure sample before mixing. Think of a sample S of pure ethanol with a volume of 1 L at 25 °C, which is mixed with a volume of 1 L of pure water at 25 °C: after the temperature of the mixture has equilibrated to 25 °C, the total volume of the mixture is less than 2 L, such that the volume ''V''<sub>S</sub> of 1 L pure ethanol has diminished to a smaller volume ''V''<sub>s</sub> of ethanol in the mixture; the density of ethanol in the mixture is higher than the density of pure ethanol (this is incomplete [[additivity]]). The volume ''V''<sub>s</sub> of sample s in a mixture is by definition smaller than the total volume ''V'' of the mixture. Sample volume ''V''<sub>S</sub> and system volume ''V'' are identical, but this applies only to the case of a ''pure'' sample. ''Concentration'' is related to samples s per total volume ''V'' of the mixture, whereas ''density'' is related to samples S or s per volume ''V''<sub>S</sub> = ''V'' or ''V''<sub>s</sub> < ''V'', respectively ([[BEC 2020.1]]).)
