Electrocatalytic arsenite oxidation in bicarbonate solutions combined with CO2 reduction to formate by Wonjung, Choi

“…Sunlight-driven water-energy nexus technologies are receiving increasing attention. This study presents a hybrid electrochemical system that catalyzes the oxidation of As(III) to As(V) with a nanoparticulate TiO2 electrocatalyst (Ti/Ir1-xTaxOy/TiO2; denoted as an n-TEC) while simultaneously converting CO2 to formate on a Bi electrode in aqueous bicarbonate solutions at circum-neutral pH. …”

Pd nanocrystals encapsulated in MOF-derived Ni/N-doped hollow carbon nanosheets for efficient thermal CO oxidation: unveiling the effect of porosity by Ipadeola, Adewale K.

“…The obtained Pd/Ni-MOF-HNC possesses hollow carbon sheets with a great surface area (153.05 m2 g−1), pore volume (0.12 cm3 g−1), rich Pd/Ni-Nx active sites, Ni-metal defects, rich N-content (7.53 at%), mixed Pd/Ni-oxide phases, and uniformly distributed ultra-small Pd nanocrystals (7.03 ± 1.10 nm); meanwhile, Pd/Ni-MOF-NC formed without etching had no porosity and less Ni-metal defects. …”

Gaining or losing team ball possession: The dynamics of momentum perception and strategic choice in football coaches by Briki, Walid

“…Nonetheless, both variables displayed asymmetrical effects, in the sense that: (1) the strength of positive PM appeared to be easier to decrease than to increase; and (2) the greater the positive PM (or the negative PM), the lesser (or the greater) the coaches' tendency to make a change in the organization of their teams. …”

Design and analysis of PV fed high-voltage gain DC-DC converter using PI and NN controllers by Madisa V.G., Varaprasad

“…When the converter switch comes under active state two capacitors are discharged in series, similarly when the converter switch under inactive state those two capacitors are charged in parallel through the coupled inductor (CI) energy so, to get a high voltage at the converter output side. To reuse the leakage-inductor (LI) energy of the CI with the help of a passive clamp circuit for reducing the voltage stress across the switch, similarly switch has less resistance so conduction losses also decreased. …”
