Two-dimensional (2D) covalent organic framework as efficient cathode for binder-free lithium-ion battery by Yao, Chang-Jiang, Wu, Zhenzhen, Xie, Jian, Yu, Fei, Guo, Wei, Xu, Zhichuan Jason, Li, Dong-Sheng, Zhang, Shanqing, Zhang, Qichun

“…A binder-free cathode was obtained by mixing 70 wt % PPTODB and 30 wt % carbon nanotubes (CNTs) as a conductive additive. Promoted by the fast kinetics of electrons/ions, high electrochemical activity, and effective π-π interaction between PPTODB and CNTs, LIBs with the as-prepared cathode exhibited excellent electrochemical performance: a high specific capacity of 198 mAh g-1 , a superb rate ability (the capacity at 1000 mA g-1 can reach 76 % of the corresponding value at 100 mA g-1 ), and a stable coulombic efficiency (≈99.6 % at the 150th cycle). …”

Tracking oxidation-induced alterations in fibrin clot formation by NMR-based methods by Lau, Wai-Hoe, White, Nathan J., Yeo, Tsin Wen, Gruen, Russell L., Pervushin, Konstantin

“…DOSY NMR measurement of fibrinogen protons demonstrated that the diffusion coefficient of fibrinogen increased by 17.4%, suggesting the oxidized fibrinogen was more compact and fast motion in the prefibrillar state. 2D-NMR analysis reflected that water protons existed as bulk water (T₂) and intermediate water (T₂ᵢ) in the control plasma fibrin. …”

Selective laser melting of ceramic particles strengthened stainless steel by Zhai, Wengang

“…In contrast, selective laser melting (SLM), or it can be called laser powder bed fusion (LPBF), is potentially a simple method to fabricate dispersed particles strengthened composites, because its small melting zone (~100 μm in width and depth) and fast cooling rate (106 - 108 K/s) help to prevent the particles from segregation. …”

Beyond MELD Score: Association of Machine Learning-derived CT Body Composition with 90-Day Mortality Post Transjugular Intrahepatic Portosystemic Shunt Placement by Elhakim, Tarig, Mansur, Arian, Kondo, Jordan, Omar, Omar M. F., Ahmed, Khalid, Tabari, Azadeh, Brea, Allison, Ndakwah, Gabriel, Iqbal, Shams, Allegretti, Andrew S., Fintelmann, Florian J., Wehrenberg-Klee, Eric, Bridge, Christopher, Daye, Dania

“…Patients who died within 90 days of TIPS had significantly higher MELD (18.9 vs. 11.9, p < 0.001) and lower SMA (123 vs. 144.5, p = 0.002), SMI (43.7 vs. 50.5, p = 0.03), SFA (122.4 vs. 190.8, p = 0.009), SFI (44.2 vs. 66.7, p = 0.04), VFA (105.5 vs. 171.2, p = 0.003), and VFI (35.7 vs. 57.5, p = 0.02) compared to those who survived past 90 days. There were no significant associations between 90-day mortality and BMI (26 vs. 27.1, p = 0.63), SMD (30.1 vs. 31.7, p = 0.44), or VSR (0.97 vs. 1.03, p = 0.66). …”

Ultrafast dynamics in quantum materials probed by time-and-momentum-resolved techniques by Su, Yifan

“…Ultrafast electron diffraction (UED) and time-and-angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (trARPES) are tools that I co-developed with my colleagues at MIT in the past several years. Supplemented by the time-resolved X-ray diffraction (trXRD) setup at free electron laser facilities around the world, they provide direct access to lattice (UED and trXRD) and electronic (trARPES) structures in quantum materials on an ultrafast timescale of a few hundred femtoseconds. …”

Machine learning-based approaches for large-scale temporal data analytics by Seyed Ali Majid Zonoozi

“…From a data analysis standpoint, there is significant utility to be gained by discovering the patterns in the data, in order to understand the trend of changes in the past and future. In this study, by considering different types of changes that occur in temporal data, including changes in underlying data distribution, recurring concepts and outliers, different machine learning-based models are proposed to track the changes, predict future values and detect abnormal patterns in temporal settings. …”
