Controllable long-term lithium replenishment for enhancing energy density and cycle life of lithium-ion batteries by Liu, Ganxiong, Wan, Wang, Nie, Quan, Zhang, Can, Chen, Xinlong, Lin, Weihuang, Wei, Xuezhe, Huang, Yunhui, Li, Ju, Wang, Chao

“…To address this challenge, we employed a sustained in situ lithium replenishment strategy that involves the systematic release of additional lithium inventory through precise capacity control during long-term cycling. Our method utilizes a lithium replenishment separator (LRS) coated with dilithium squarate-carbon nanotube (Li2C4O4–CNT) as the lithium compensation reagent. …”

Proposed Design for Electromechanical Telescoping Actuator to Replace Hydraulics in Extreme High Force and Long Stroke Applications by Sleight Crawford, Carmen, Smyk, Mariia, Cheung, Sophia, Coughran, Doug, Costello, Jeffrey, Liang, ZhiYi, Winter, Amos G

“…Our group was able to successfully develop and evaluate the design and build a scaled-down prototype that could likely serve as a direct replacement for currently used long-stroke high-force hydraulics. The prototype was able to achieve extension from 17 cm (7 in) to 49 cm (19.2 in) with 10 s cycle time, and is able to lift at least 28 N (6.3 lbf). …”

Long-term effects of early life rainfall shocks on foundational cognitive skills: evidence from Peru by Pazos, N, Favara, M, Sánchez, A, Scott, D, Behrman, J

“…Global warming is changing precipitation patterns, particularly harming communities in low-and-middle income countries (LMICs). Whilst the long-term effects of being exposed to rainfall shocks early in life on school-achievement tests are well-established, there is little population-based evidence from LMICs on the mechanisms through which these shocks operate. …”

Long Covid: a global health issue – a prospective, cohort study set in four continents by Pazukhina, E, Garcia-Gallo, E, Reyes, LF, Kildal, AB, Jassat, W, Dryden, M, Holter, JC, Chatterjee, A, Gomez, K, Søraas, A, Puntoni, M, Latronico, N, Bozza, FA, Edelstein, M, Gonçalves, BP, Kartsonaki, C, Kruglova, O, Gaião, S, Chow, YP, Doshi, Y, Duque Vallejo, SI, Ibáñez-Prada, ED, Fuentes, YV, Hastie, C, O'Hara, ME, Balan, V, Menkir, T, Merson, L, Kelly, S, Citarella, BW, Semple, MG, Scott, JT, Munblit, D, Sigfrid, L

Defect detection of GFRP composites through long pulse thermography using an uncooled microbolometer infrared camera by Anwar, Murniwati, Mustapha, Faizal, Abdullah, Mohd Na’im, Mustapha, Mazli, Sallih, Nabihah, Ahmad, Azlan, Mat Daud, Siti Zubaidah

“…Challenges in detecting these defects arise from varying responses based on the geometrical shape, thickness, and defect types. Long Pulse Thermography (LPT), utilizing an uncooled microbolometer and a low-resolution infrared (IR) camera, presents a promising solution for detecting both depth and impact defects in GFRP materials with a single setup and minimal tools at an economical cost. …”
