A multi-stage lithium-ion battery aging dataset using various experimental design methodologies.

This dataset encompasses a comprehensive investigation of combined calendar and cycle aging in commercially available lithium-ion battery cells (Samsung INR21700-50E). A total of 279 cells were subjected to 71 distinct aging conditions across two stages. Stage 1 is based on a non-model-based design of experiments (DoE), including full-factorial and Latin hypercube experimental designs, to determine the degradation behavior.

Continuous, complete and comparable NT-proBNP reference ranges in healthy children.

Background: NT-proBNP is one of the most important biomarkers for the diagnosis and risk assessment of heart failure in adults. Age- and gender-independent reference intervals (RIs) have been reported. In contrast, RIs in children are strongly age-dependent, do not exist for all ages and reveal a right-skewed distribution.
