Electric vehicles (EVs) rely heavily on lithium-ion battery packs as essential energy storage components. However, inconsistencies in cell characteristics and operating conditions can lead to imbalanced state of charge (SOC) levels, resulting in reduced capacity and accelerated degradation. This study presents an active cell balancing method optimized for both charging and discharging scenarios, aiming to equalize SOC across cells and improve overall pack performance.

Background: Mutualistic mycorrhiza fungi that live in symbiosis with plants facilitates nutrient and water acquisition, improving tree growth and performance. In this study, we evaluated the potential of mutualistic fungal inoculation to improve the growth and disease resistance of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) against the forest pathogen Heterobasidion annosum.

Providers of external quality assessment (EQA) programs evaluate data or information obtained and reported by participant laboratories using their routine procedures to examine properties or measurands in samples provided for this purpose. EQA samples must offer participants an equal chance to obtain accurate results, while being designed to provide results in clinically relevant ranges. It is the responsibility of the EQA provider to meet the necessary requirements for homogeneity, stability and some other properties of the EQA items in order to offer participants a fair, reliable and technically interesting EQA experience.

Article Synopsis
  • Alzheimer’s disease (AD) progression and symptoms are linked to amyloid and Tau protein buildup in the brain, which can be studied in animal models but presents challenges in assessing behavior.
  • The study evaluated the behavior of different mice models using novel and displaced object tests in varied arena sizes, noting that handling mice by cupping reduces their stress levels.
  • Results showed that while all arena types allowed for differentiation between novel and familiar objects, only the smaller arena successfully distinguished between familiar and displaced objects, highlighting the importance of arena size and handling technique in experimental setup.

Dr. John T. Macdonald Foundation Department of Human Genetics, University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, Miami, FL, USA.

Background: While Alzheimer's disease and dementia prevalence increase with age, some older adults retain cognitive performance equal to those in mid-life. One group, referred to as SuperAgers (SA), are ≥ 80 years old and demonstrate episodic memory function at or above the level expected for a middle-aged adult. Genetic studies of SA may reveal heritable factors that promote superior cognition in older adults.
