Impact of gamification on learner's attendance and academic achievement in a mobile environment by Lee, Xiaoqing

“…Interaction effect was found between Neuroticism and class ranking on leader boards in the team play scenario, and participants who showed emotion stability to be less affected by the anxiety generated from leader board and peer pressure in a team play environment. In addition, interaction effect was found between Conscientiousness and class ranking on leader board, in team play scenario, whereby participants who were less dutiful in studying and revising school work may be motivated by their class’s ranking on the leader board and become more dutiful in studying and revision. …”

Unified quantum theory of electrochemical kinetics by coupled ion–electron transfer by Bazant, Martin Z.

“…The probability distribution of transferring electron energies in CIET smoothly interpolates between a shifted Gaussian distribution for ECIT (as in the Gerischer–Marcus theory of ET) to an asymmetric, fat-tailed Meixner distribution centered at the Fermi level for ICET. The latter may help interpret asymmetric line shapes in x-ray photo-electron spectroscopy (XPS) and Auger electron spectroscopy (AES) for metal surfaces in terms of shake-up relaxation of the ionized atom and its image polaron by ICET. …”

The role of electronic properties of Pt and Pt alloys for enhanced reformate electro-oxidation in polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells by Halder, A., Mukerjee, S., Jia, Qingying, Chan, S. H., Ehteshami, Seyyed Mohsen Mousavi

“…We find that the anode overpotential in the presence of CO2 can be generally related to the experimental Pt d-band vacancy or calculated d-band center, and thus governed by the Pt electronic properties modified by the alloyed metal(s). …”
