Degradation in lithium ion (Li-ion) battery cells is the result of a complex interplay of a host
of different physical and chemical mechanisms. The measurable, physical effects of these …

During the charging and discharging of lithium-ion-battery cathodes through the de- and
reintercalation of lithium ions, electroneutrality is maintained by transition-metal redox chemistry…

This report describes a UV laser photoablation method for the production of miniaturized
liquid-handling systems on polymer substrate chips. The fabrication of fluid channel and …

Context Accurate staging of high-risk localised, advanced, and metastatic prostate cancer is
becoming increasingly more important in guiding local and systemic treatment. Gallium-68 …

Hyperglycemia is associated with altered myocardial substrate use, a condition that has been
hypothesized to contribute to impaired cardiac performance. The goals of this study were …

Diabetes alters cardiac substrate metabolism. The cardiac phenotype in insulin-resistant states
has not been comprehensively characterized. The goal of these studies was to determine …

Background Patients undergoing dialysis have a substantially increased risk of cardiovascular
mortality and morbidity. Although several trials have shown the cardiovascular benefits of …

In conventional intercalation cathodes, alkali metal ions can move in and out of a layered
material with the charge being compensated for by reversible reduction and oxidation of the …

Background Multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is validated for the
detection of clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCa), although patients with negative/equivocal …

BACKGROUND: Prior research has shown a decrease in medication adherence as dosing
frequency increases; however, meta-analyses have not been able to demonstrate a …
