All-solid-state batteries have been developed to increase energy density by replacing the lithiated graphite negative electrode by a lithium metal foil and to increase safety by removing the organic compounds. However, the safety issues of these batteries have received little attention up to now. The behavior of a reassembled all-solid-state battery under thermal stress was recorded by X-ray radiography and a high-speed camera.

Aim: To our knowledge, the proportion of active tuberculosis diagnosed after 12-18 months during a screening tuberculosis process in a specialized centre (centre de lutte antituberculeuse [CLAT]) has not been described in France. The majority of other countries do not have any recommendation to screen at this time.
Methods: We evaluated the number of treated or not treated latent tuberculosis infections (LTI) identified during tuberculosis screening.
Objective: To examine the population-wide overdose risk emerging from the prescription of methadone and buprenorphine for opioid substitution treatment in England and Wales.
Design: Retrospective administrative data study.
Setting: National databases for England and Wales.
The possibility of enhanced mirrors for laser megajoule reflectors has been studied, and preliminary samples have been realized with magnetron sputtering technology. Spectral measurements of improved reflectivity and cosmetics analysis are presented.
