The neutron-rich carbon isotope 15C was postulated to be a halo nucleus (Sn = 1215 keV, S2n = 9395 keV) according to different high-energy experiments. If so, it would be the only halo nucleus exhibiting a "pure" s-wave structure of the ground state. At low collision energies, the effect of this halo structure should manifest as a strong absorption pattern in the angular distribution of the elasti
The market of connected devices, IoT devices in particular, is hotter than ever. Today, lightweight IoT devices are used in several sectors, such as smart cities, smart homes, healthcare, and the manufacturing industry.IoT solutions help increase productivity by predictive maintenance and resource management in the industry. Devices with voice interfaces are spreading rapidly in the home automatio
Hypothesis: Colloidal particles that interact via a long-ranged repulsive barrier in combination with a very short-ranged attractive minimum can “polymerize” to form highly anisotropic structures. Motivated by previous experimental achievements in non-aqueous solvents, and recent theoretical predictions, we hypothesize that it is possible to construct clusters that resemble linear or branched poly
High alkaline stability is critical for polymeric anion exchange membranes (AEMs) and ionomers for use in alkaline electrochemical energy conversion and storage devices such as fuel cells, electrolyzer cells and advanced batteries. Here, we have prepared and studied ether-free polyfluorenes tethered with N,N-dimethylpiperidinium (DMP) and 6-azonia-spiro[5.5]undecane (ASU) cations, respectively, at
The potential application of a 50 μm thick anion exchange membrane prepared based on poly(terphenyl piperidinium-co-trifluoroacetophenone) (PTPT) is investigated for vanadium redox flow batteries (VRFBs). The PTPT exhibits a considerably lower vanadium permeation than Nafion 212. Therefore, the self-discharge duration of the VRFB based on PTPT is much longer than the VRFB based on Nafion 212. Besi
BACKGROUND: The prevalence of diabetes is high and increasing. Periodontitis has been identified as a risk factor in both type 1 and 2 diabetes. The study purpose was to assess periodontal conditions, retinopathy, and serum glutamic acid decarboxylase antibody (GADA) titers in relation to retinopathy in individuals with Type 1 Diabetes (T1D).METHODS: The study is a case series. Adult individuals w
