Electro-Chemo-Mechanically Stable and Sodiophilic Interface for Na Metal Anode in Liquid-based and Solid-State Batteries.

Na metal batteries (NMBs) are attracting increasing attention because of their high energy density. However, the widespread application of NMBs is hindered by the growth of Na dendrites and interface instability. The design of artificial solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) with tuned chemical/electrochemical/mechanical properties is the key to achieving high-performance NMBs.

Growing seismicity in the Sichuan Basin and its association with industrial activities.

Unlabelled: In the Sichuan Basin, seismic activity has been low historically, but in the past few decades, a series of moderate to strong earthquakes have occurred. Especially since 2015, earthquake activity has seen an unprecedented continuous growth trend, and the magnitude of events is increasing. Following the 5.

Fault reactivation and earthquakes with magnitudes of up to Mw4.7 induced by shale-gas hydraulic fracturing in Sichuan Basin, China.

This paper presents a timely and detailed study of significant injection-induced seismicity recently observed in the Sichuan Basin, China, where shale-gas hydraulic fracturing has been initiated and the aggressive production of shale gas is planned for the coming years. Multiple lines of evidence, including an epidemic-type aftershock sequence model, relocated hypocenters, the mechanisms of 13 large events (M  > 3.5), and numerically calculated Coulomb failure stress results, convincingly suggest that a series of earthquakes with moment magnitudes up to M 4.

Ductile gap between the Wenchuan and Lushan earthquakes revealed from the two-dimensional Pg seismic tomography.

A high-resolution two-dimensional Pg-wave velocity model is obtained for the upper crust around the epicenters of the April 20, 2013 Ms7.0 Lushan earthquake and the May 12, 2008 Ms8.0 Wenchuan earthquake, China.

[Experimental study and clinical application of early pedicle division of skin flap by ligation].

Objective: To establish a new method of early cut-off skin flap by ligating to stegnosis pedicle and assess its feasibility and clinical application.

Methods: Twenty New Zealand rabbits were used to make skin flaps with the size of 8.0 cm x 4.

[Investigation of a retrograded supra-genicular flap for treatment of scarring contraction of popiteal fossa].

Objective: To investigate the blood vascular distribution of supra-genicular flap and to apply the retrograded supra-genicular flap for reconstructive surgery.

Methods: Eight fresh adult cadavers with 16 lower extremities were used for the study, by means of injecting the media of red latex into the main artery of the limb. The skin vascular architecture on the lower two thirds of each thigh was observed to decide the blood supply of this region.
