Comprehensive analysis of local and nonlocal amplitudes in the B0 → K*0μ+μ− decay by Aaij, R., Abdelmotteleb, A. S. W., Abellan Beteta, C., Abudinén, F., Ackernley, T., Adefisoye, A. A., Adeva, B., Adinolfi, M., Adlarson, P., Agapopoulou, C., Aidala, C. A., Ajaltouni, Z., Akar, S., Akiba, K., Albicocco, P., Albrecht, J.

“…The Wilson Coefficients 10 , ′9 and ′10 are all in better agreement than 9 with the Standard Model and the global significance is at the level of 1.5σ. The model used also accounts for nonlocal contributions from B0 → K*0[τ+τ − → μ+μ−] rescattering, resulting in the first direct measurement of the bsττ vector effective-coupling 9𝜏 .…”

Theory of Layered-Oxide Cathode Degradation in Li-ion Batteries by Oxidation-Induced Cation Disorder by Zhuang, Debbie, Bazant, Martin Z

“…In the case of nickel-rich oxides, we hypothesize that nickel with a high concentration of defects is driven into the bulk by electrostatic forces as oxidation reactions at the solid-electrolyte interface reduce nickel and either evolve oxygen or oxidize the organic electrolyte at high potentials (&gt;4.4 V vs Li/Li<jats:sup>+</jats:sup>). The model is used in battery cycling simulations to describe the extent of cathode degradation when using different voltage cutoffs, in agreement with experimental observations that lower-voltage cycling can substantially reduce cathode degradation. …”

Modeling the Impact of Electrolyte Flow on Heat Management in a Li-Ion Convection Cell by Gao, Weiran, Drake, Javit, Brushett, Fikile R

“…In a simulated exemplary 5.7-C case, a LIB cell with stationary electrolyte must stop discharging at only 54% of its capacity due to cell temperature rise to an upper threshold (325 K); with sufficient electrolyte flow (∼1 μm s−1 for a single cell, or a residence time of ∼200 s), the cell can be maintained below 315 K while delivering 98% of its capacity. …”

Studies on stereospecific diketopiperazine oxidation and applications to the synthesis of complex epidithiodiketopiperazines by Walker, Katherine L.

“…Studies on Stereospecific Diketopiperazine C–H Hydroxylation Mechanistic investigation of the permanganate-mediated hydroxylation reaction of 2,5-diketopiperazines (DKPs) is discussed. The course of the hydroxylation reaction with three permanganate oxidants examined in our total synthesis of naturally occurring epipolythiodiketopiperazines (ETPs) is investigated with respect to the activity of the different oxidants, as well as the stereochemical outcome and the configurational stability of the product diols. …”

Cross feedforward cascode compensation for low-power three-stage amplifier with large capacitive load by Chong, Sau Siong, Chan, Pak Kwong

“…The proposed technique has been implemented and fabricated in a UMC 65-nm CMOS process and it achieves a 2-MHz gain-bandwidth product (GBW) when driving a 500-pF capacitive load by consuming only 20.4 μW at a 1.2-V supply. The proposed compensation technique compares favorably in terms of figures-of-merit (FOM) to previously reported works. …”
