NaTiOx‐modified high‐nickel layered oxide cathode for stable sodium‐ion batteries by Yingcong Liu, Xing Zhou, Dongwei He, Xiaowei Liu, Chao Yang, Dawei Xu, Meilong Wang, Ruitao Sun, Bin Zhang, Jingjing Xie, Jin Han, Wen Chen, Ya You

“…Herein, O3‐Na[Ni0.6Co0.2Mn0.2]O2 (NNCM622) cathode is modified by a NaTiOx coating layer in a wet chemistry method, which reduces the parasitic reaction and facilitates Na+ migration. Simultaneously, the partially doped Ti improves structural stability by restraining the irreversible multiple‐phase transition. …”

Myoglobin Cast Nephropathy Diagnosed on Renal Biopsy in a Patient Treated for Malarial Infection by Ramya Varadarajan, Ashmi Patel, Haneen Salah, Neil Sutaria, Roberto Barrios, Luan Truong, Lillian Gaber, Ziad M. El-Zaatari

“…Previous literature has suggested mechanisms for the development of rhabdomyolysis in malarial infection, including inflammatory processes, direct effect of parasite accumulation, and drug-induced toxicity. Our case further implicates antimalarial therapy as a cause of rhabdomyolysis and increases awareness of myoglobin cast nephropathy as a potential complication of malaria.…”

Optimizing MoS2 Electrolyte‐Gated Transistors: Stability, Performance, and Sensitivity Enhancements by Steffen Rühl, Giovanni Ligorio, Max Heyl, Emil J. W. List‐Kratochvil

“…Postmortem analysis identified key areas for improvement leadinf to three major modifications: 1) a double‐junction Ag/AgCl electrode to prevent ion leakage, 2) a protective resist layer to shields the monolayer, and 3) precise etching to confine the semiconductor material, reducing parasitic currents. These optimizations imroved the devices' transconductance and ensured stable operation over extended periods establishing TMDC‐based EGFETs as viable candidates for reliable biosensing in aqueous environments.…”

Mutual Impedance Properties in a Lossy Array Antenna by Peter L. Tokarsky

“…In the first example, the dipoles were located above the imperfect ground, which served as a source of losses, and in the second example, the same dipoles were located in free space, and the embedded parasitic element was the source of losses. The results of the analysis showed that the asymmetric placement of energy absorbers in the array antennas leads to the appearance of imaginary parts in the matrices of radiation and loss resistances, which allow one to correctly predict the behavior of the array radiation efficiency during beam scanning.…”
