Multi-layer coating of electrodes with different material compositions helps unlock the full potential high-loaded electrodes. Within this work, LiNi0.8Mn0.1Co0.1O2 (NMC811) cathodes an areal capacity >8.5 mA h cm−2 and tuned binder concentrations were fabricated by using industrially relevant roll-to-roll process. Rate capability tests revealed increase in practical specific discharge indep...

Sodium-ion batteries operating at ambient temperature hold great promise for use in grid energy storage owing to their significant cost advantages. However, challenges remain in the development of suitable electrode materials to enable long lifespan and high rate capability. Here we report a sodium super-ionic conductor structured electrode, sodium vanadium titanium phosphate, which delivers a ...

the present study aimed to assess changes in resting and maximum heart rates as primary indicators of cardiac autonomic function in metabolic syndrome (mets) patients and to determine their value for discriminating mets from non-mets. 468 participants were enrolled in this cross-sectional study and assessed according to the updated adult treatment panel iii (atp-iii) definition of mets. resting...

background and aims: this study aimed to investigate the deaths and injuries following pedestrian traffic accidents and factors associated with death of pedestrian in tehran and alborz provinces. methods: in this cross-sectional study all traffic accidents related to pedestrians in tehran and alborz provinces reported from march 21, 2013 to march 21, 2014 by the traffic police were studied. the...

We demonstrate a total charge parity measurement by detecting the radio frequency signal that is reflected by a lumped-element resonator coupled to a single InAs nanowire double quantum dot. The high frequency response of the circuit is used to probe the effects of the Pauli exclusion principle at interdot charge transitions. Even parity charge transitions show a striking magnetic field depende...

Background: Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR) and C-reactive protein (CRP) tests are often done to detect or monitor patients with suspected inflammatory disorders. The objective of the study was to ascertain if the manual ESR test added value to the information available from automated CRP results alone. Methods: In this retrospective, observational study at a safety-net hospital, the ESR a...

It has previously been shown that the "partial" reaction between fatty acyl-CoA dehydrogenase and acyl-CoA substrate is pH-dependent (larger rate constants at basic pH) and shows a biphasic rate profile indicative of formation of an initial charge transfer complex between the C-2 anion of substrate and enzyme. The present investigation indicates that the complete reaction between acyl-CoA and e...

Two new Ru-modified, Zn-substituted derivatives of horse heart cytochrome c have been prepared, Rua,L(histi* dine-33)-Zn-cyt c (a = NH3; L = pyridine, isonicotinamide). Molecular mechanics modeling indicates that the 11.7 A edge-to-edge separation between the redox centers is virtually identical with that reported for the Ru-pentaammine derivative. Rates of photoinduced charge separation and re...
