In Operando Optical Analysis of Electrolyte Colour Change and Its Correlation to Capacity Fade in Li-Ion Cells at Elevated Temperatures.

The existing body of research on battery state of health has identified various degradation modes for the electrolyte, yet very few studies have explored the role of electrolyte colour changes as a diagnostic tool for state of health (SOH). This study investigates the impact of elevated temperatures and its correlation with electrolyte colour changes and capacity fade during cycling. Specifically, the research examines whether cycling cells at elevated temperatures induces noticeable changes in electrolyte colour and whether these changes can be linked to the SOH of the cells.

Rapid virucidal activity of an air sanitizer against aerosolized MS2 and Phi6 phage surrogates for non-enveloped and enveloped vertebrate viruses, including SARS-CoV-2.

An air sanitizer was evaluated using an aerobiology protocol, compliant with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Air Sanitizer Guidelines, for virucidal activity against bacteriophages Phi6 and MS2 (used as surrogates for enveloped and non-enveloped human pathogenic viruses).

VERSATILITY OF TENSOR FASCIA LATA FLAP FOR RECONSTRUCTION OF GROIN DEFECTS.

Background: The evolution of reconstructive surgery techniques has significantly improved the management of soft tissue defects across various anatomical regions. In 1972, McGregor et al. devised a pivotal method for generating a flap to cover hand defects.

RECONSTRUCTION OF SOFT TISSUE DEFECTS AROUND KNEE AND PROXIMAL LEG USING PROXIMAL BASED SURAL ARTERY FLAP.

Background: Soft tissue defects around the knee and proximal leg represent a challenging clinical scenario for plastic and reconstructive surgeons. These defects can arise from a variety of causes, including traumatic injuries, such as crush injuries and road traffic accidents, thermal injuries like burns, and surgical complications such as infection. Objective of the study was to evaluate the success of proximally based sural artery flap for soft tissue defects around the knee and proximal leg in patients presenting to our tertiary care hospital.

-Symmetry Breaking and Spin Control in 2D Antiferromagnetic MnSe.

Two-dimensional (2D) materials with intrinsic antiferromagnetic (AFM) order provide a unique avenue to harness both charge and spin degrees of freedom for practical spintronics applications. Here, by using ab initio electronic structure calculations, the interplay of discrete crystal symmetries (such as inversion ( ), time-reversal ( ), or combined symmetry) of 2D semiconducting AFM manganese selenide (MnSe) and external electric field along with graphene proximity is investigated. We show that both an external electric field and graphene proximity can independently break otherwise conserved combined symmetry in 2D MnSe, resulting in large and tunable spin-splittings in both valence and conduction bands, and provide electrical control over a wide energy range.
