Thermal management in Li-ion batteries is critical for their safety, reliability, and performance. Understanding the thermal conductivity of battery materials crucial controlling temperature distribution batteries. This work provides systemic quantitative measurements three important classes solid electrolytes (SEs) over range 150 < T 350 K. Studies include oxides Li1.5Al0.5Ge1.5(PO4)3 Li6.4La3...

In Goethe's Faust, Mephistopheles stated, 'Blood is a juice of very special kind.' As illustrated in this famous German folklore, blood is the essence of life but it can also lead to the destruction of life if improperly used. The human heart constantly pumps on average between 5 and 6 l of blood throughout the body to maintain the supply of nutrients and oxygen to organs and cells, which is es...

We study two families of error-correcting codes deened in terms of very sparse matrices. `MN' (MacKay{Neal) codes are recently invented, and`Gallager codes' were rst investigated in 1962, but appear to have been largely forgotten, in spite of their excellent properties. The decoding of both codes can be tackled with a practical sum{product algorithm. We prove that these codes arèvery good', in ...
