Rate capability and electrolyte concentration: Tuning MnO2 supercapacitor electrodes through electrodeposition parameters by Hamed Soltani, Hamed Bahiraei, Shahnaz Ghasemi, Mazdak Hashempour

“…While electrodeposition at a 0.1 M electrolyte concentration resulted in the formation of electrolytic MnO2 with high supercapacitive rate sensitivity, reducing the bath concentration to 0.01 M primarily led to the formation of birnessite δ-MnO2, capable of maintaining a reasonable specific capacitance in the range of approximately 90–100 Fg–1 with almost no sensitivity to the charging/discharging rate, as confirmed by galvanostatic charge-discharge (1–10 Ag–1) and cyclic voltammetry (10–100 mVs−1) examinations. …”

Men's more frequent predisposing factors in infectious endocarditis facilitate improvement of outcomes by shortening of diagnostic delay by S. Andreß, K. Reischmann, S. Markovic, F. Rohlmann, B. Hay, W. Rottbauer, D. Buckert, S. d'Almeida

“…Men diagnosed within 3.5 days had a mortality rate of 13.5% compared to 31.8% for those diagnosed later (p = 0.028).ConclusionMen with suspected IE are younger, have more predisposing factors and experience a more complicated course of disease, while benefiting from early diagnosis. Therefore, recognizing the heightened risk profile specific to men during diagnosis can help to address their poorer prognosis.…”
