Entropy-Stabilized Multication Fluorides as a Conversion-Type Cathode for Li-Ion Batteries-Impact of Element Selection.

Metal fluorides (e.g., FeF and FeF) have received attention as conversion-type cathode materials for Li-ion batteries due to their higher theoretical capacity compared to that of common intercalation materials.

Intracellular defensive symbiont is culturable and capable of transovarial, vertical transmission.

Unlabelled: Insects frequently form heritable associations with beneficial bacteria that are vertically transmitted from parent to offspring. Long-term vertical transmission has repeatedly resulted in genome reduction and gene loss, rendering many such bacteria incapable of establishment in axenic culture. Among aphids, heritable endosymbionts often provide context-specific benefits to their hosts.

ECG Feature Importance Rankings: Cardiologists vs. Algorithms.

Feature importance methods promise to provide a ranking of features according to importance for a given classification task. A wide range of methods exist but their rankings often disagree and they are inherently difficult to evaluate due to a lack of ground truth beyond synthetic datasets. In this work, we put feature importance methods to the test on real-world data in the domain of cardiology, where we try to distinguish three specific pathologies from healthy subjects based on ECG features comparing to features used in cardiologists' decision rules as ground truth.

PTB-XL+, a comprehensive electrocardiographic feature dataset.

Machine learning (ML) methods for the analysis of electrocardiography (ECG) data are gaining importance, substantially supported by the release of large public datasets. However, these current datasets miss important derived descriptors such as ECG features that have been devised in the past hundred years and still form the basis of most automatic ECG analysis algorithms and are critical for cardiologists' decision processes. ECG features are available from sophisticated commercial software but are not accessible to the general public.

Multifunctional Coatings on Sulfide-Based Solid Electrolyte Powders with Enhanced Processability, Stability, and Performance for Solid-State Batteries.

Sulfide-based solid-state electrolytes (SSEs) exhibit many tantalizing properties including high ionic conductivity and favorable mechanical properties for next-generation solid-state batteries. Widespread adoption of these materials is hindered by their intrinsic instability under ambient conditions, which makes them difficult to process at scale, and instability at the Li||SSE and cathode||SSE interfaces, which limits cell performance and lifetime. Atomic layer deposition is leveraged to grow thin Al O coatings on Li PS Cl powders to address both issues simultaneously.

Organically Functionalized Mixed-Valent Polyoxo-30-molybdate Wheel and Neutral Tetramolybdenum(V) Oxo Cluster.

The first organofunctionalized mixed-valent polyoxo-30-molybdate wheel, [MoMoO{AsO(CH)}] (), was synthesized in aqueous, mildly acidic conditions, and upon further acidification, the neutral tetramolybdenum(V) oxo cluster [MoO{AsO(CH)}] () was obtained. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction (XRD) revealed that comprises 18 Mo and 12 Mo ions arranged in a cyclic fashion with alternating {Mo} and {Mo} groups, which are capped by 18 dimethylarsinate ligands, resulting in a novel polyoxo-30-molybdate wheel with a central cavity of ∼1.5 nm.

Differential host responses of sugarcane to Colletotrichum falcatum reveal activation of probable effector triggered immunity (ETI) in defence responses.

The differential compatibility responses of sugarcane to Colletotrichum falcatum pathotypes depend on the nature of both host primary defence signalling cascades and pathogen virulence. The complex polyploidy of sugarcane genome and genetic variations in different cultivars of sugarcane remain a challenge to identify and characterise specific genes controlling the compatible and incompatible interactions between sugarcane and the red rot pathogen, Colletotrichum falcatum. To avoid host background variation in the interaction study, suppression subtractive hybridization (SSH)-based next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology was used in a sugarcane cultivar Co 7805 which is compatible with one C.

Hope Speech Detection for Dravidian Languages Using Cross-Lingual Embeddings with Stacked Encoder Architecture.

The task of hope speech detection has gained traction in the natural language processing field owing to the need for an increase in positive reinforcement online during the COVID-19 pandemic. Hope speech detection focuses on identifying texts among social media comments that could invoke positive emotions in people. Students and working adults alike posit that they experience a lot of work-induced stress further proving that there exists a need for external inspiration which in this current scenario, is mostly found online.

Robustness of convolutional neural networks to physiological electrocardiogram noise.

The electrocardiogram (ECG) is a widespread diagnostic tool in healthcare and supports the diagnosis of cardiovascular disorders. Deep learning methods are a successful and popular technique to detect indications of disorders from an ECG signal. However, there are open questions around the robustness of these methods to various factors, including physiological ECG noise.

Normative Transesophageal Echocardiographic Values of Cardiac Structures in the Indian Population-Indian Normative TEE Measurements (INTEEM) Study.

Objectives: Information on normative reference values for cardiac structures is critical for the accurate application of echocardiography for guiding clinical decision-making. Many studies using transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) have shown that Indians have smaller diameters of various cardiac structures. There are no normative studies for transesophageal echocardiography (TEE).

Development and characterization of genomic SSR marker for virulent strain-specific infecting sugarcane.

an intriguing pathogen causing red rot in sugarcane, exhibits enormous variation for pathogenicity under field conditions. A species-specific marker is very much needed to classify the virulence among the varying population and to identify the potential of a pathotype by mining the microsatellites, which are considered to be the largest genetic source to develop molecular markers for an organism. In this study, we have mined the genome using MISA database which yielded 12,121 SSRs from 48.

Peroxouranyl-Containing W Wheel: Synthesis, Structure, and Detailed Infrared and Raman Spectroscopy Study.

We report on the first example of a peroxouranium-containing {PW} wheel, [{(UO)(O)}(PWO)] (), which was synthesized by a one-pot reaction of UO(NO)·6HO with the 48-tungsto-8-phosphate wheel [HPWO] and aqueous hydrogen peroxide in a pH 6 lithium acetate solution at 50 °C. Polyanion comprises two tetrauranyl squares with side-on peroxo bridging ligands in the cavity of the {PW} wheel, and was isolated as the hydrated potassium-lithium salt KLi[{(UO)(O)}(PWO)]·133HO (), which was characterized in the solid state by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, as well as thermogravimetric and elemental analyses. A detailed Fourier transform infrared and Raman spectroscopy study was also performed.

Identification of Intermediate Au(SR)(SR') Cluster on Ligand-Induced Transformation of Au(SR) Nanocluster.

We report the ligand-exchange-induced transformation from an Au(SR) cluster (where SR = 2-phenylethanethiol (PET)) to a Au(SR)(SR') cluster (where SR' = 4--butylbenzenethiol (TBBT)). This partial exchange of the ligands was achieved by controlling the concentration of the incoming TBBT ligand. Being a bulky and aromatic ligand, TBBT can efficiently distort the atomic structure of the AuPET cluster, resulting in Au(PET)(TBBT), which is highly stable and considered to be an intermediate with a structure.

Practice patterns of left-sided double-lumen tube: Does it match recommendation from literature - A single-centre observational pilot study.

Context: Choosing appropriate-size double-lumen tube (DLT) has always been a challenge as it depends on existing guidelines based on gender, height, tracheal diameter (TD), or personal experience. However, there are no Indian data to match these recommendations.

Aim: To find out whether the size of DLT used correlates with height, weight, TD, or left main stem bronchus diameter (LMBD).
