Performance analysis of PCM-based lithium-ion battery module thermal management system under mechanical vibration by Jiebo Yang, Qinghua Yu, Wenjie Ye, Yang Yu, Sheng Chen

“…The findings indicate that, under mechanical vibration condition, mechanical vibration's influence on the performance of the BTMS is negligible at lower discharge rates, but becomes significant when the discharge rate surpasses a certain threshold, particularly at extremely fast discharge level, resulting in a decrease of 2.28 K in the LIB module’s maximum temperature and a more uniform temperature distribution upon completion of an 8 C discharge in contrast to its stationary equivalent. …”

Nitric oxide modulates contrast suppression in a subset of mouse retinal ganglion cells by Dominic Gonschorek, Matías A Goldin, Jonathan Oesterle, Tom Schwerd-Kleine, Ryan Arlinghaus, Zhijian Zhao, Timm Schubert, Olivier Marre, Thomas Euler

“…Given that under photopic conditions, NO release is triggered by quick changes in light levels, we propose that these RGC types signal fast contrast changes to higher visual regions. Remarkably, we found that about one-third of the RGC types, recorded using two-photon Ca2+ imaging, exhibited consistent, cell type-specific adaptational response changes throughout an experiment, independent of NO. …”

Efficient continuous SF6/N2 separation using low-cost and robust metal-organic frameworks composites by Jinjian Li, Yuting Chen, Tian Ke, Yuanyuan Jin, Rongrong Fan, Guihong Xu, Liu Yang, Zhiguo Zhang, Zongbi Bao, Qilong Ren, Qiwei Yang

“…Record-high selectivities (> 2×104) and SF6 dynamic capacities (~ 2.7 mmol/g) were achieved, while exceptional SF6 productivities (~ 58.7 L/kg), yields (~ 96.8%), and recyclability (~ 1000 cycles) were demonstrated in fixed-bed adsorption-desorption experiments under mild regeneration conditions. 2D solid-state NMR/in-situ FTIR, DFT-D binding/diffusion simulation analyses revealed the multi-site binding mode and the ultra-fast diffusion of SF6 within the channels. The proposed VTSA processes successfully met the dual stringent requirements of both environmental protection and electricity equipment operation: the SF6 recovery of 99.91% accompanied with a SF6 purity/working capacity of 99.91%/2.1 mmol/g, which significantly outperformed the industrial employed adsorbent zeolite 13X and showed only 18.7% the energy consumption of the cryogenic distillation.…”
