Detecting Human Memory Processes via Bio-Signals by Abdelrahman, Mona Magdy

“…Previous work has shown that eye movements along with other bio-signals differ when viewing familiar versus unfamiliar faces. Signals such as heart rate (derived from PPG) and skin conductance (derived from EDA) have also been previously evaluated to have correlations with different states of memory. …”

Hierarchical tubular structures constructed by carbon-coated SnO2 nanoplates for highly reversible lithium storage by Zhang, Lei, Zhang, Genqiang, Wu, Hao Bin, Yu, Le, Lou, David Xiong Wen

“…This interesting structure simultaneously integrates the structural and compositional design rationales for high-energy anode materials based on low-dimensional ultrathin nanoplates, a hollow tubular structure, and a carbon nanocoating. When evaluated as an anode material for lithium-ion batteries, the as-synthesized SnO2-carbon hybrid structure manifests high specific capacity and excellent.…”
