Synthesis and Characterization of LiNi0.7–xMgxCo0.3O2 (0≤x≤0.1) Cathode Materials for Lithium-Ion Batteries Prepared by a Sol-Gel Method by Hailang Zhang

“…Besides, the Mg-doping promotes the diffusion of Li+ in LiNi0.7Co0.3O2. Moreover, Mg-doping suppresses the phase transitions that usually occur in LiNiO2 during cycling and improves the charge-discharge reversibility of Li/LiNi0.7Co0.3O2. …”

Use of N Natural Abundance and N Species Concentrations to Assess N-Cycling in Constructed and Natural Coastal Wetlands by C. Marjorie Aelion, Melissa R. Engle, Hongbo Ma

“…In natural sites, NH4+ concentrations were greatest in deeper pore water and least in surface water, suggesting diffusion predominates. The natural sites had greater %SON, and N indicated that the natural sites also had greater NH4+ released from SON mineralization than impacted sites. …”

Solar Modulation of AMS-02 Daily Proton and Helium Fluxes with Modified Force-field Approximation Models by Cheng-Rui Zhu, Mei-Juan Wang

“…As galactic cosmic rays (GCRs) propagate through the turbulent plasma environment within the heliosphere, they undergo a process of diffusion, drift, and energy loss, leading to a notable reduction in their flux. …”

The effect of temperature factor during heavy ion irradiation on structural disordering of SiC ceramics by Kymbat M. Tynyshbayeva, Artem L. Kozlovskiy

“…In turn, the combination of the effects of thermal heating and ionization processes causes deformation distortion of chemical bonds, which is most pronounced at high irradiation temperatures, for which thermal expansion of the crystal lattice and accelerated diffusion of vacancy defects play a key role in disordering.…”

The Robustness of White Matter Brain Networks Decreases with Aging by Chenye Huang, Xie Wang, Daojun Xie

“…We constructed WM brain networks for 159 volunteers from a community sample dataset using diffusion tensor imaging (DTI). We then calculated the robustness of these networks by simulating neurodegeneration based on network attack analysis, and studied the correlations between WM network robustness, age, and the proportion of WMHs. …”

A Carta de 25 de Fevereiro de 1327 e a Norma dita de 18 de Fevereiro de 1332 by Jorge Manuel de Matos Pina Martins Prata

“…A letter written by Gonçalo Domingues under royal command (Estremoz, February 25th 1327) has been considered by portuguese historians as an ordenamento (ordinance) forbidding lawyers and attorneys to be in residence in the royal Court tribunals.However, the internal analysis of the said letter, and its comparison with other charters of undisputed normative nature, as well as with the ordinance commonly accepted as having been issued on February 18th 1332, in Estremoz, allow us to infer that the mentioned 1327 letter is an introductory note whose primordial purpose was to accompany and introduce the ordinance of February 18th 1332, in its diffusion throughout the Kingdom: this leads to the conclusion that the allegedelly 1332 ordinance was in fact enacted in 1327. …”
