LiNi0.8Mn0.1Co0.1O2 (NMC811) can deliver a high capacity of ∼200 mAh/g with an average discharge potential ∼3.8 V (vs. Li+/Li), making it promising positive electrode material for energy density lithium ion batteries. However, electrochemical tests from half cells and full show poor cycling performance when charged to potentials above 4.2 V. The calendar cycle lifetimes are affected by the structural stability active materials as well parasitic reactions that occur in In order explore major...
Battery and EV manufacturers carry out extensive long-term tests to estimate the lifetime of battery base warranty durations on those tests. The long duration these slows progress in research development required improve Li-ion batteries. This paper shows that accurate measurements coulombic efficiency (CE) impedance spectra batteries, take a few weeks acquire, can be used rank resulting cells. Adding one or more electrolyte additives batteries act synergistically dramatically CE show...
The measured heat flow of graphite/NMC lithium ion cells under charging conditions show a characteristic and easily identifiable signal at the onset plating on graphite electrode. A marked decrease in signals full lithiation host. origin this is shown to arise from combined effects entropy cell over potentials. This allows for an accurate measure maximum amount intercalation possible Metallic deposition begins within 5–7 mAh/g after decrease. Two different types were examined; G25 MCMB. was...
The effects of electrolyte additives singly or in combination on Li[Ni1/3Mn1/3Co1/3]O2 (NMC)/graphite pouch cells have been systematically investigated and compared using the ultra high precision charger (UHPC) at Dalhousie University, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), an automated storage system, gas evolution measurements selected long-term cycling experiments. results testing with different were measured for over 110 additive sets are compared. A "Figure Merit" approach is...
Objectives Cognitive and other biases can influence the quality of healthcare decision making. While substantial research has explored how lead to diagnostic or errors in medicine, fewer studies have examined they impact making professionals. This scoping review aimed identify synthesise a broad range investigating whether decisions made by allied health professionals are influenced cognitive, affective biases. Materials methods A systematic literature search was conducted five electronic...
The healthy human cornea is a uniquely transparent sensory tissue where immune responses are tightly controlled to preserve vision. contains cells that widely presumed be intraepithelial dendritic (DCs). Corneal have diverse cellular morphologies and morphological alterations used as marker of inflammation injury. Based on our imaging corneal T in mice, we hypothesized many commonly defined DCs lymphocytes (IELs). To investigate this, developed functional vivo confocal microscopy (Fun-IVCM)...
Lapatinib is a dual inhibitor of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and human EGFR-2 (HER-2) tyrosine kinases. This study investigated the pharmacodynamic clinical effects lapatinib in patients with locally advanced squamous cell carcinoma head neck (SCCHN). In total, 107 therapy-naive SCCHN were randomised (2 : 1) to receive or placebo for 2–6 weeks before chemoradiation therapy (CRT). Endpoints included apoptosis proliferation rates, response, toxicity. Versus placebo, monotherapy did...
The bisdithiazolyl radical 1a is dimorphic, existing in two distinct molecular and crystal modifications. α-phase crystallizes the tetragonal space group P4̅21m consists of π-stacked radicals, tightly clustered about 4̅ points running parallel to c. β-phase belongs monoclinic P21/c and, at ambient temperature pressure, composed dimers which radicals are linked laterally by hypervalent four-center six-electron S···S−S···S σ-bonds. Variable-temperature magnetic susceptibility χ measurements...
The bromo-substituted bisdiselenazolyl radical 4b (R(1) = Et, R(2) Br) is isostructural with the corresponding chloro-derivative 4a Cl), both belonging to tetragonal space group P(4)2(1)m and consisting of slipped π-stack arrays undimerized radicals. Variable temperature, ambient pressure conductivity measurements indicate a similar room temperature near 10(-4) S cm(-1) for two compounds, but displays slightly higher thermal activation energy E(act) (0.23 eV) than (0.19 eV). Like 4a, behaves...
To assess the diagnostic performance of a novel, automated, noninvasive measure tear film stability derived from Placido disc videokeratography, surface quality breakup time (TFSQ-BUT), as clinical marker for diagnosing dry eye disease (DED) relative to standard hyperosmolarity.This prospective, cross-sectional study involved 45 participants (28 DED, 17 controls). Symptoms (Ocular Surface Disease Index) and signs (tear osmolarity, TFSQ-BUT, measured with sodium fluorescein [NaFl-BUT], ocular...
To assess whether tear hyperosmolarity, being diagnostic of dry eye disease (DED), is associated with specific alterations to the cytokine content human tears that may provide a biomarker for DED.In this prospective, cross-sectional, clinical study, participants (n = 77) were recruited from single site and categorized into groups based upon osmolarity status 62 hyperosmolar, n 15 normo-osmolar). Comprehensive anterior assessments undertaken. Concentrations seven cytokines (IL-2, IL-4, IL-6,...
