Straight-Parallel Electrodes and Variable Gap for Hydrogen and Oxygen Evolution Reactions by María J. Lavorante, Carla Y. Reynoso, Juan I. Franco

“…In this work, the performance analyses of nine different spaces between stainless steel 316L electrodes were carried out, although the spaces proposed are not the same as those from the positive electrode (anode) to the separator and from the separator to the negative electrode (cathode). The reason why this is studied is that stoichiometry of the reaction states that two moles of hydrogen and one mole of oxygen can be obtained per every two moles of water. …”

No Modulatory Effects when Stimulating the Right Inferior Frontal Gyrus with Continuous 6 Hz tACS and tRNS on Response Inhibition: A Behavioral Study by Hannah Brauer, Navah Ester Kadish, Anya Pedersen, Michael Siniatchkin, Vera Moliadze

“…Since many findings support the relevance of the rIFG for response inhibition, this could mean that 6 Hz activity is not important for response inhibition in that structure. Reasons for our null findings could also lie in the stimulation parameters, such as the electrode montage or the stimulation frequency, which are discussed in this article in more detail. …”

Organic Light-Emitting Diode with Color Tunable between Bluish-White Daylight and Orange-White Dusk Hue by Shih-Yun Liao, Sudhir Kumar, Hui-Huan Yu, Chih-Chia An, Ya-Chi Wang, Jhong-Wei Lin, Yung-Lee Wang, Yung-Chun Liu, Chun-Long Wu, Jwo-Huei Jou

“…For example, the color-temperature span is 7,000 K for the above case, while it is 1,700 K upon the incorporation of a nanoscale hole modulation layer in between the two emissive layers. The reason why the present device can effectively regulate the shifting of recombination zone is because the first emissive layer itself possesses an effective hole modulation barrier of 0.2 eV. …”
