Li- and Mn-rich battery active materials like Li 1.14 (Ni 0.26 Co 0.14 Mn 0.60 ) 0.86 O 2 (LMR-NCM) are promising cathode (CAMs) for next-generation Li-Ion batteries, as they combine a higher energy density than state-of-the-art at lower cost. However, suffer from high gassing, particularly during formation, voltage capacity fading over their cycle life. While electrolyte additives known to all...

Objective: To assess the prognostic value of platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), neutrophil-to-lymphocyte (NLR), lymphocyte-to-monocyte (LMR), and systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) in locally advanced cervical squamous cell carcinoma (LACSC) treated with concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) regimens. Methods: The contribution immune inflammatory response markers (NLR, PLR, LMR, SII), cell...

Abstract Fatal landslides occur every year during the rainy season (June–November) in Lower Mekong Region (LMR). There is an urgent need to develop a landslide early warning system LMR. In collaboration with Asian Disasters Preparedness Center and NASA’s SERVIR Programme, we are regionalizing global Landslide Hazard Assessment System for Situational Awareness model LMR (LHASA‐Mekong). A robust ...

Cardiovascular diseases cause approximately one-third of all deaths in the world, which 7.5 million are estimated to be due ischemic heart disease (IHD). Acute coronary syndromes (ACS) and sudden death most IHD-related deaths, represent 1.8 per year. Established, that patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) more likely experience ACS failure at greater risk for dying after an acute cardiac event, ...

<span>Cigarette smoke contains thousands of man-made substances, and many may contribute to addiction inflammation. This study examined the effect synbiotics on Fagerstrom test for nicotine dependence (FTND) inflammatory markers in Thai smokers. 14 smokers with a Nicotine Dependence Test scores 4 or higher no pregnancy lactation history participated this study. We gave them surveys about ...

Large volcanic eruptions are one of the dominant perturbations to global and regional atmospheric temperatures on timescales years decades. Discrepancies remain, however, in estimated magnitude persistence surface temperature cooling caused by eruptions, as characterized paleoclimatic proxies climate models. We investigate these discrepancies context large tropical over Last Millennium using tw...

We aimed to examine whether a whole-grain crispbread (CB) low-fructose, low-calorie diet (LCD) might be superior to a traditional LCD based on fructose-rich liquid meal replacements (LMRs) with respect to improvement of various cardiometabolic risk factors and reproductive hormones. Parallel-group randomised controlled clinical trial. Morbidly obese women with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS)...

Owing to their high theoretical specific capacity and low cost, lithium- manganese-rich layered oxide (LMR) cathode materials are receiving increasing attention for application in lithium-ion batteries. However, poor lithium ion electron transport kinetics plus side effects of anion cation redox reactions hamper power performance stability the LMRs. In this study, LMR Li1.2Mn0.6Ni0.2O2 was modi...
