Aging Characteristics Of Lithium-Ion Battery Under Fast Charging Based On Electrochemical-Thermal-Mechanical Coupling Model, Dong-Xu Zuo, Pei-Chao Li

Journal of Electrochemistry

The aging characteristics of lithium-ion battery (LIB) under fast charging is investigated based on an electrochemical-thermal-mechanical (ETM) coupling model. Firstly, the ETM coupling model is established by COMSOL Multiphysics. Subsequently, a long cycle test was conducted to explore the aging characteristics of LIB. Specifically, the effects of charging (C) rate and cycle number on battery aging are analyzed in terms of nonuniform distribution of solid electrolyte interface (SEI), SEI formation, thermal stability and stress characteristics. The results indicate that the increases in C rate and cycling led to an increase in the degree of nonuniform distribution of SEI, and thus …

Built Environment And Anxiety Among Adolescents: To What Extent Can Resilient Family Protect Youth?, Yangjin Park, Bethany Wood, Jandel Crutchfield, Keundeok Park

SAGE Open Access Agreement Publications-Archive

One third of U.S. adolescents experience anxiety. As adolescents spend more time outside the family, built environmental risk factors become salient. Although resilient family protects youth from various adversities, it is unclear how effective family resilience can buffer extrafamilial risks. This study examined the moderating role of family resilience in the association between neighborhood, school, and racial discrimination risk factors on adolescent anxiety. Using multiyear data (2016–2020) from the National Survey of Children’s Health (n = 81,809), the hierarchical logistic regression analysis suggests that neighborhood violence/safety, lack of neighborhood support, lack of school engagement, lack of school safety, and …

2020-Current year OA Pubs

Heart failure (HF) in patients with cancer is associated with high morbidity and mortality. The success of cancer therapy has resulted in an exponential rise in the population of cancer survivors, however cardiovascular disease (CVD) is now a major life limiting condition more than 5 years after cancer diagnosis [Sturgeon, Deng, Bluethmann, et al 40(48):3889-3897, 2019]. Prevention and early detection of CVD, including cardiomyopathy (CM) and HF is of paramount importance. The European Society of Cardiology (ESC) published guidelines on Cardio-Oncology (CO) [Lyon, López-Fernández, Couch, et al 43(41):4229-4361, 2022] detailing cardiovascular (CV) risk stratification, prevention, monitoring, diagnosis, and treatment throughout …

Inorganic Polyphosphate Promotes Colorectal Cancer Growth Via Trpm8 Receptor Signaling Pathway, Valentina Arrè, Chen Shen, Et Al.

2020-Current year OA Pubs

BACKGROUND: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is characterized by a pro-inflammatory microenvironment and features high-energy-supply molecules that assure tumor growth. A still less studied macromolecule is inorganic polyphosphate (iPolyP), a high-energy linear polymer that is ubiquitous in all forms of life. Made up of hundreds of repeated orthophosphate units, iPolyP is essential for a wide variety of functions in mammalian cells, including the regulation of proliferative signaling pathways. Some evidence has suggested its involvement in carcinogenesis, although more studies need to be pursued. Moreover, iPolyP regulates several homeostatic processes in animals, spanning from energy metabolism to blood coagulation and tissue regeneration.

The goal of this paper is to characterize the spatial variability in burn severity of a wildfire in an oak savannah within the wildland-urban interface in Worcester, Massachusetts using the Composite Burn Index (CBI). This work compares two interpolated surfaces of burn severity values collected in a March 2012 burn area and examines the statistical relationship between burn severity (CBI), fuel type and topography. The wildfire burned at low-to-medium severity (0.1 – 2.0 CBI). Burn severity was highest in mixed grass and shrub fuels beneath oak canopy cover (mean 1.11 CBI), followed by open-canopy shrub fuels (mean 1.09 CBI) and …

Local Regulatory Protection For Ecosystem Services: A Case Study From The Karst Region Of Southeast Minnesota, Usa, Mary A. Williams, Susy Svatek Ziegler

The Geographical Bulletin

Human communities depend upon a myriad of ecosystem goods and services, which are produced by and depend on natural environmental processes occurring at multiple temporal and spatial scales. Land-use policy seldom recognizes the importance of these services or the environmental processes generating these services. This study examined the degree to which ecosystem services and supporting environmental processes are regulated at two United States municipal levels: city and county. Several ecosystem services but few environmental processes are regulated to some extent. We identified policy needs for environmentally sensitive karst features, aquifer recharge, groundwater quality, plant and animal populations, and flood mitigation. …

Fifty Years Of Cultural Cannibalism: Contemporary Attitudes Towards Globalization In Ceará, Ryan Schleeter

The Geographical Bulletin

This paper focuses on the influence of Tropicália—a Brazilian art and music movement of the 1960s and 1970s—on contemporary attitudes towards cultural globalization in Ceará, Brazil. This paper examines the influence of one Tropicalist ideal in particular, the concept of antropofagia, or cultural cannibalism. Cultural cannibalism promotes the consumption of foreign cultures with the goal of internalizing and synthesizing with local cultures, and subsequently creating something wholly original. The goal of the paper is to assess the impact of antropofagia on modern attitudes towards globalizing processes and globalized phenomena in Ceará, particularly related to music. Few of the key actors …

Pooping In Public: Syrian And Egyptian Desert Fathers As Textual Constructs, Andrew Cole

Chronos

This article explores how saints are textually constructed in two Late Antique hagiographic collections, the Lausiac History of Palladius of Galatia and the Historia Religiosa of Theodoret of Cyrrhus. In particular, it relates narrative techniques applied in each work to the authors' purposes and agendas. The paper explores how Late Antique bishops as authors shaped power dynamics that manipulated, defended, and glorified the “Holy Men” under their episcopal supervision, creating an idealized type of asceticism that they could more easily control.
