This paper describes an experimental dataset of used lithium-ion battery cells cycled on grid storage synthetic duty cycles to study their feasibility for second-life applications. Data were collected at the Stanford Energy Control Laboratory at Stanford University, CA, USA. The ten INR21700-M50T battery cells with graphite/silicon anode and Nickel-Manganese-Cobalt (NMC) cathode had been previously tested over a period of 23 months according to the Urban Dynamometer Driving Schedule (UDDS) discharge driving profile.

- The National Ignition Facility is exploring the use of Agfa D4 film to enhance spectral resolution for x-ray imaging in high-energy-density experiments.
- Characterization of the film is being conducted using a Manson x-ray source with six different anodes, building on previous research to improve analysis methods.
- Results from the Agfa D4 film characterization at both the Manson source and the Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Lightsource Beamline 16-2 are compared, highlighting improvements and reduced uncertainties in the characterization process.
Opacity measurements are being carried out at the Z-facility at Sandia National Laboratories and at the National Ignition Facility (NIF) at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. The current soft x-ray Opacity Spectrometer (OpSpec) used on the NIF uses two elliptically bent crystals in time-integrated mode on either an image plate or a film. Plans are under way to expand these opacity measurements into a mode of time-resolved detection, called OpSpecTR.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how opioid prescribing patterns change over time in response to state-level opioid restrictions from 2006 to 2018 using Poisson regression analysis.
- It finds that opioid prescriptions peaked in 2012 and that states with restrictions show statistically significant decreases in prescribing rates compared to those without restrictions.
- The results indicate that while restrictions do lead to reduced opioid prescriptions, noticeable changes may take several years to become apparent after the restrictions are imposed.
A new time-resolved opacity spectrometer (OpSpecTR) is currently under development for the National Ignition Facility (NIF) opacity campaign. The spectrometer utilizes Icarus version 2 (IV2) hybridized complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor sensors to collect gated data at the time of the opacity transmission signal, unlocking the ability to collect higher-temperature measurements on NIF. Experimental conditions to achieve higher temperatures are feasible; however, backgrounds will dominate the data collected by the current time-integrating opacity spectrometer.
