Since the potential for alloying lithium with silicon is outside the window of stability of common commercial electrolytes, silicon surfaces form an amorphous solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) under applied potential, which hampers silicon's performance as a lithium-ion battery anode. We have investigated the composition, distribution, and ambient stability of the SEI formed on undoped silicon...

Abstract The degree of uncertainty associated with the value a company plays relevant role in valuation analysis. We propose an original and robust methodology for market valuation, which replaces traditional point estimate conventional Discounted Cash Flow model probability distribution fair values that convey information about both expected its intrinsic uncertainty. Our depends on two main i...

Abstract Ultrasound-assisted chalcopyrite leaching has been reported previously, showing a noticeable improvement in kinetics. However, the effect of ultrasound on oxidation kinetics from an electrochemical perspective not addressed. This study examines ultrasonic enhancement sulfuric acid solution both conventional and electrochemistry aspects. Electrochemical techniques, including linear swee...

The reduction of the electrochemical window (EW) electrolytes plays a significant role in assessing their compatibility with anode lithium-ion batteries. However, accurate calculation EW is still challenging due to missing solvation effects, condensation kinetic factors, and passivation on anodes. theoretical prediction intrinsic apparent confirmed by comprehensive experimental analysis ethylen...

Experimental models have allowed inquiry into the pathophysiology of varicocele (VC) beyond that possible with human patients. A randomized controlled study in rats was designed to clarify the influence of the degree of left renal vein constriction on the development of adolescent VC. Fifty adolescent male Sprague-Dawley rats (Rattus norvegicus) were randomly assigned to five groups of 10: the ...

Honey bees are critical pollinators of important agricultural crops. Recently, high annual losses of honey bee colonies have prompted further investigation of honey bee infecting viruses. To better characterize the recently discovered and very prevalent Lake Sinai virus (LSV) group, we sequenced currently circulating LSVs, performed phylogenetic analysis, and obtained images of LSV2. Sequence a...

The selective catalytic oxidation (SCO) of gas phase ammonia (NH3) to nitrogen and water has been proposed as an effective ammonia removal process. This study reports that the oxidation of NH3 with oxygen to form N2 was investigated by SCO using a Pt-Rh complex catalyst that was synthesized by the incipient wetness impregnation process. The catalysts were performed using fluorescent spectroscop...

In a microbial bioelectrochemical system (BES), organic substrate such as glycerol can be reductively converted to 1,3-propanediol (1,3-PDO) by a mixed population biofilm growing on the cathode. Here, we show that 1,3-PDO yields positively correlated to the electrons supplied, increasing from 0.27 ± 0.13 to 0.57 ± 0.09 mol PDO mol(-1) glycerol when the cathodic current switched from 1 A m(-2) t...
