Manganese-Based Spinel Cathodes: A Promising Frontier for Solid-State Lithium-Ion Batteries

Author(s): Dou Y; Zhou S; Dawkins JIG; Zaghib K; Amine K; Xu GL; Deng S;

Recently, all-solid-state lithium-ion batteries (ASSLIBs), which exhibit improved safety and enhanced energy density compared to conventional commercialized lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), thereby have garnered extensive research interest. Among the promising cathode candidates, Mn-based spinel cathodes LiMn2O4 (LMO) and LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 (LNMO), with the uniq ...

Quality Assessment of Health Information on Social Media During a Public Health Crisis: Infodemiology Study

Author(s): Haghighi R; Farhadloo M;

Background: The quality of health information on social media is a major concern, especially during the early stages of public health crises. While the quality of the results of the popular search engines related to particular diseases has been analyzed in the literature, the quality of health-related information on social media, such as X (formerly Twitt ...

The effectiveness of auditory stimulation in sleep varies with thalamocortical spindle phase

Author(s): Jourde HR; Ujevco A; Coffey EBJ;

Slow oscillations and sleep spindles are neural events that both occur during non-rapid eye movement sleep and are implicated in sleep-dependent memory consolidation. Their temporal co-occurrence, or 'coupling', is thought to support sleep-dependent memory processes. The roles of these neural events can be explored through non-invasive brain stimu ...

pH-Sensitive Release of Functionalized Chiral Carbon Dots from PLGA Coatings on Titanium Alloys for Biomedical Applications

Author(s): López-Muñoz R; Chevallier P; Copes F; Naccache R; Mantovani D;

Titanium and its alloys are the most widely used metallic materials for bone contact implants. However, despite advances in implant technology, these alloys are still susceptible to post-operative clinical complications such as inflammation, which is often joined by infections and biofilm formation. A number of coatings were studied to overcome the drawba ...

Contrasting microbial assembly patterns in the woody endosphere of hybrid and non-hybrid em Populus /em trees

Author(s): Grant KR; Kembel SW; Naik S; Dayanandan S;

Endophytes asymptomatically infect virtually all plant species, yet little is known about endophyte community assembly and diversity within the woody tissues of forest trees. We utilised phylogenetic null models of alpha (ses.MNTDab and ses.MPDab) and beta diversity (ses.ßMNTDab and ses.ßMPDab) to infer the role of deterministic and stochastic ecological ...

Modeling the Ethylene Sequence Length Distribution of Metallocene-Catalyzed Bimodal Polyethylene

Author(s): Sattari M; Kwakye-Nimo S; Inn Y; Karimi PA; Wood-Adams PM;

The structure of bimodal poly-(ethylene-hexene) is presented in terms of the ethylene sequence length distribution. This distribution is determined by applying statistical modeling to molecular weight and short chain branching distributions obtained from gel permeation chromatography (GPC). We found that the ethylene sequence length distribution of bimoda ...

The Bug-Network (BugNet): A Global Experimental Network Testing the Effects of Invertebrate Herbivores and Fungal Pathogens on Plant Communities and Ecosystem Function in Open Ecosystems

Author(s): Kempel A; Adamidis GC; Anadón JD; Atkinson J; Auge H; Avtzis D; Bachelot B; Bashirzadeh M; Bota JL; Classen A; Constantinou I; Crawley M; de Bellis T; Dostal P; Ebeling A; Eisenhauer N; Eldridge DJ; Encina G; Estrada C; Everingham S; Fan ...

Plants are consumed by a variety of organisms, including herbivores and pathogens, which significantly impact plant biomass, diversity, community composition, and ecosystem functioning. While the impacts of vertebrate herbivores are well established, the effects of consumer groups such as insect ...

Scalable Synthesis of High-Quality Graphene Quantum Dots by Reductive Intercalation/Exfoliation of Coal

Author(s): Bepete G; Ratnayake G; Sanchez DE; Yu Z; Dimitrov E; Fest Carreno A; Oliveira MCD; Viana BC; Santos FEP; Terrones M;

Coal, historically a low-cost and abundant energy resource, is emerging as a promising carbon-rich precursor for advanced nanomaterials. In this work, we introduce a reductive intercalation strategy to synthesize reduced (electron-rich) graphene quantum dots (GQDs) directly from anthracite coal. ...

Cerebral small vessel disease lesion segmentation methods: A systematic review

Author(s): Phelps J; Singh M; McCreary CR; Dallaire-Théroux C; Stein RG; Potvin-Jutras Z; Guan DX; Wu JD; Metz A; Smith EE;

Cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) can manifest as brain lesions visible on magnetic resonance imaging, including white matter hyperintensities (WMH), cerebral microbleeds (CMB), perivascular spaces (PVS), lacunes, and recent small subcortical infarcts (RSSI). Detection and segmentation of thes ...
