Transition metal fluorides (such as FeF3 or CoF2) promise significantly higher theoretical capacities (>571 mAh g(-1)) than the cathode materials currently used in Li-ion batteries. However, their practical application faces major challenges that include poor electrochemical reversibility induced by the repeated bond-breaking and formation and the accompanied volume changes and the difficulty o...

Because of poor reproduction after the lifting of an 8-year breeding moratorium, a biomedical survey of female lions in U.S. zoos was initiated in 2007. Fecal estrogen (FEM), progestagen (FPM) and glucocorticoid (FGM) metabolites were analyzed in samples collected 3-4 times per wk from 28 lions at 17 facilities (0.9-13.8 yr of age) for 4 mo-3.5 yr and body weights were obtained ~monthly from 17...

The paper proposed the practical metal cutting process using FEM to simulate the traditional cutting process, the simulation and the analysis of the results are based on the support of DEFORM3D finite element software, and the characteristic between Galerkin Algorithm and FEM analysis is also analyzed. Then the paper processed the modeling procedure for FEM using Lagrange and Euler algorithm, t...
