Cryo-electron microscopy study finds that EC-based electrolyte can exfoliate the graphite surface and destabilize SEI. Useful additives including FEC, DTD, TPP, VC form a stable SEI to protect anode.

Rock abrasivity is an essential factor for selecting cutting tools, estimating tool wear and life, and ultimately, matching various mechanized excavation systems with a given geologic condition. It also assists engineers to determine economic limits of different cutting tools and machines used in civil and mining projects. The Cerchar abrasion test is a simple and most widely used method for ro...

Hypertension is often called the silent killer. Because hypertension a deadly disease but not accompanied by symptoms. occurs when systolic pressure 140 mmHg or diastolic 90 mmHg. This study aims to determine what factors influence incidence of in elderly Sei Rotan Village, Percut Tuan District. research quantitative descriptive with cross sectional design approach. The results showed that affe...

Understanding the cellular-molecular substrates of heart disease is key to the development of cardiac specific therapies and to the prevention of off-target effects by non-cardiac targeted drugs. One of the primary targets for therapeutic intervention has been the human ether a go-go (hERG) K+ channel that, together with the KCNQ channel, controls the rate and efficiency of repolarization in hu...

A stable Si-based anode with a high initial coulombic efficiency (ICE) for lithium-ion batteries (LIB) is critical for energy storage. In the present paper, a new scalable method is adopted in combination with giant nitrogen-doped graphene and micron-size electrode materials. We first synthesize a new type of freestanding LIB anode composed of micron-sized Si (mSi) particles wrapped by giant ni...

Prelithiation is an important strategy to compensate for lithium loss in lithium-ion batteries, particularly during the formation of the solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) from reduced electrolytes in the first charging cycle. We recently demonstrated that LixSi nanoparticles (NPs) synthesized by thermal alloying can serve as a high-capacity prelithiation reagent, although their chemical stabil...

We investigated eating- and weight-related correlates of self-evaluation influences (SEIs) and examined the extent to which such SEIs can be both over- and undervalued and the extent to which measurement strategy affects SEIs. A female undergraduate sample (n = 549) completed 3 measures of SEI importance and questionnaires assessing disordered eating (DE), body mass index (BMI), and depression....

This paper evaluates proposed models for assessing Smart Grid interoperability and other models referenced as instructive for this effort. This paper suggests dividing the GWAC IMM into a Smart Grid Interoperability Maturity Model (SGIMM) and a Smart Grid Interoperability CAPABILITY Maturity Model (SGICMM). We propose a specific Smart Grid Interoperability Assessment model and rating system fra...
