Electrolytes are characterized by their ionic conductivity (σ(i)). It is desirable that overall σ(i) results from the dominant contribution of the ions of interest (e.g. Li(+) in lithium ion batteries or LIB). However, high values of cationic transference number (t+) achieved by solid or gel electrolytes have resulted in low σ(i) leading to inferior cell performances. Here we present an organog...

ion level influences a receiver who is also the actor of the behavior being described, has not been addressed. This question is an important one because it provides a first step in answering how stereotypes are communicated and maintained by investigating the effects of LIB upon receivers whose own behavior is being described. Stereotype maintenance and transmission was the question that drove ...

A key driver of SMT over the past decade has been an interchange format, SMT-LIB, and a growing set of benchmarks sharing this common format. SMT-LIB captures very well an interface that is suitable for many tasks that reduce to solving first-order formulas modulo theories. Here we propose to extend these benefits into the domain of symbolic software model checking. We make a case that SMT-LIB ...

I conducted afield experiment to examine the use of body fat as an energy reserve by juvenile female Belding's ground squirrels, Spermophilus beldingi, prior to hibernation. Squirrels were divided into two groups: the squirrels in one group had their foraging times restricted by being placed in a cage forpart of each day for four consecutive days (deprived group), and the squirrels in the other...

1. A group of rats were given ad lib. a diet with a protein-energy: total energy (P: E) value of 0.03. Other animals received the same protein intake (g/kg body-weight per d) as this group, but had their energy consumption reduced lo either 90, 80. 70, 60 or SO% of the ad lib. value. 2. The restricted growth rate of rats fed on the P:E -0.03 diet ad lib. has been shown to be due entirely to the...

Today, Li-ion batteries (LIBs) are the most common rechargeable batteries used in electronic devices. SnO2 with theoretical specific capacity of 782 mAh/g is among the best anode materials for LIBs. In this report, Three-dimensional SnO2 nanowires (NWs) on carbon nanotube (CNT) thin film (SnO2 / CNT) is fabricated using a combination of vacuum filtration and thermal evaporation techniques. The ...
