The carbonized Kimwipes® (CK) interlayer has been found to be a modulable, low-cost hierarchical interlayer for Li-S cells, leading to a high discharge capacity with superior cycling stability and rate performance. This new interlayer is designed to allow controllable thickness for analyzing the polysulfide interception mechanism within the interlayer architecture.

Crop canopies and residues have been shown to intercept a significant amount of rainfall. However, rainfall or irrigation interception by crops and residues has often been overlooked in hydrologic modelling. Crop canopy interception is controlled by canopy density and rainfall intensity and duration. Crop residue interception is a function of crop residue type, residue density and cover, and ra...

Human navigational principles are researched and applied to mobile robotic applications. Two principles, constant optical rate and angular constancy, can be used by a elder or mobile robot to de ne a trajectory for interception of a projectile without knowledge of the ball's or elder's world coordinates. Two novel, robust, viewer-centered algorithms, a passive and an active version, are modeled...

While graphs are normally defined in terms of the 2-place relation of adjacency, we take the 3-place relation of interception as the basic primitive of the definition. The paper views graphs as an economic scheme for encoding interception relations, and establishes an axiomatic characterization of relations that lend themselves to representation in terms of graph interception, thus providing a ...

Developing applications that support evolution in a seamless way is not an easy task; in an early design stage, some concepts may be confused or some potential functionality not foreseen, resulting in bad separations of concerns. In this kind of designs, future changes may imply huge modifications if a highquality object-oriented model is the desired product. In theory, object oriented programm...

This study was designed to define the characteristics of eye-hand coordination in a task requiring the interception of a moving target. It also assessed the extent to which the motion of the target was predicted and the strategies subjects used to determine when to initiate target interception. Target trajectories were constructed from sums of sines in the horizontal and vertical dimensions. Su...

in order to study of the radiation interception and red to far red light ratio variations in sunflower hybrids under drought stress, nine sunflower hybrids in three separate experiments were compared as randomized complete block designs with three replications at the research station of seed and plant improvement institute in karaj in 2006. first experiment (control) was irrigated based on 60 m...

A simple graphical method was described for determining the kinetic parameters of substrate inhibition of complete and partial types. The method consists of plotting experimental data as [Formula: see text] versus the reciprocals of the substrate concentrations, where V max represents the maximal velocity. The reaction rate constant of enzyme-substrate-inhibitor complex [Formula: see text] can ...

PURPOSE Medication errors remain a threat to patient safety. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to determine the relationships among characteristics of the nursing practice environment, nurse staffing levels, nurses' error interception practices, and rates of nonintercepted medication errors in acute care hospitals. DESIGN This study, using a nonexperimental design, was conducted in a s...
