Impact of Low-Pressure in High-Altitude Area on the Aging Characteristics of NCM523/Graphite Pouch Cells by Xiantao Chen, Zhi Wang, Jian Wang, Yichao Lin, Jian Li

“…Low air pressure led to irreversible deformation of the battery, resulting in the expansion of the gap between the electrodes, poor electrolyte infiltration, and reduction of the effective lithium insertion area, which in turn induced multiple synergistic accelerated decay mechanisms, including obstructed lithium-ion transmission, reduced interfacial reaction efficiency, increased active lithium consumption, changes in heat generation structure, and a significant increase in heat generation. …”

Abnormal breathing pattern features in chronic refractory cough by Jordan Jeffery, Anne E. Vertigan, Sarah Bone, Peter G. Gibson

“…Clinical observation suggests abnormal breathing patterns occur in CRC and may be indirectly addressed as part of behavioural treatment, yet breathing pattern changes in CRC are poorly understood. The aims of this study were to 1) describe breathing patterns in patients with CRC, 2) compare breathing pattern features between patients with CRC and inducible laryngeal obstruction (ILO), and 3) estimate the effect of breathing pattern features on clinical measures of laryngeal sensory and motor dysfunction. …”
