High Proton Conduction in the Octahedral Layers of Fully Hydrated Hexagonal Perovskite-Related Oxides.

Proton conductors have potential applications such as fuel cells, electrolysis cells, and sensors. These applications require new materials with high proton conductivity and high chemical stability at intermediate temperatures. Herein we report a series of new hexagonal perovskite-related oxides, BaAlSnO ( = Gd, Dy, Ho, Y, Er, Tm, and Yb).

High Conductivity and Diffusion Mechanism of Oxide Ions in Triple Fluorite-Like Layers of Oxyhalides.

Oxide ion conductors are attractive materials because of their wide range of applications, such as solid oxide fuel cells. Oxide ion conduction in oxyhalides (compounds containing both oxide ions and halide ions) is rare. In the present work, we found that Sillén oxychlorides, BiTeLuOCl ( = 0, 0.

Synthesis, crystal structure and investigation of ion-exchange possibility for sodium tellurate NaTeO(OH).

A new sodium tellurate has been hydrothermally synthesized and comprehensively analysed using spectroscopic and thermogravimetric techniques, resulting in the determination of its composition as NaTeO(OH). The analysis of synchrotron X-ray and neutron diffraction data indicates that NaTeO(OH) has a crystal structure similar to that of the previously reported tellurate, KTeO(OH), with the space group 2/ (No. 14).

Expert consensus document on automated diagnosis of the electrocardiogram: The task force on automated diagnosis of the electrocardiogram in Japan part 3: Inappropriate internal processing in the automatic diagnosis of electrocardiograms and its problems.

Computer diagnosis of electrocardiograms is widely used to provide useful information in clinical practice and medical checkups. However, it is common for users to be confused by the inappropriate diagnosis. We illustrate some examples of inappropriate automatic diagnoses and discuss the actual situation of inappropriate automatic processing and its problems.
