• Electrochemical parameters of SIBs are presented for the first time. Hard carbon (HC) and N a 3 V 2 ( P O 4 ) F (NVPF) deduced from half-cells. HC//NVPF full cell SIB performance shown at different current rates. Mass transport limitations Ohmic losses observed in NVPF cathode high Potential challenges charging HC-based electrodes rates discussed. Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) have been heralde...

This work aims at proposing a robust strategy to determine the optimal operating parameters based on fuzzy modeling for enhancing productivity of methane using Pelvetia canaliculata. The applied is combination logic (FL) and particle swarm optimizer (PSO). First, FL used build model that describes production experimental datasets. Second, PSO algorithm obtain best-operating conditions process. ...

BACKGROUND: GReliable prediction of patient response to fluid resuscitation is a crucial issue in the management of hemorrhagic shock. OBJECTIVES: This study was designed to investigate vertebral heart score (VHS) variation in fluid resuscitation of hemorrhagic shock patients and the feasibility of this method in determining resuscitation endpoint.  METHODS: VHS values were assessed using previ...

Power calculations for a variety of research designs used in behavior genetics require the determination of a chi-square noncentrality parameter. For many purposes published tables are adequate, but for cases where they are not we provide a graph for approximating the required parameters for up to 300 degrees of freedom and illustrate a straightforward procedure for accurate determination using...

We present a phenomenological analysis of production and decays of˜t, ˜ b, and˜τ in e + e − collisions with √ s = 500 – 800 GeV. We include SUSY–QCD and Yukawa coupling corrections as well as initial state radiation. We show that e − beam polarization is a powerful tool for a determination of the underlying SUSY parameters. Using in addition a polarized e + beam improves the precision of the pa...

The epipolar parametrization arises naturally in the reconstruction of surfaces from prooles with known camera motion. This is a special case of a local paramet-ric representation which is a mesh. Local parametric representations can be combined into a global one by computing the transformation in parameter space on the overlap of the patches. This paper also discusses the applicability of this...
