Enhancing the Performance of Aqueous Lithium‐Ion Batteries via N‐Methylpyrrolidone Additive

Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aqueous lithium‐ion batteries (ALIBs) have garnered significant attention in the field of energy storage due to their inherent safety. However, their practical application is severely constrained by a narrow electrochemical window and electrolyte crystallization at low temperatures.

A second species of non‐crocodyliform crocodylomorph from the Late Triassic fissure deposits of southwestern UK: Implications for locomotory ecological diversity in Saltoposuchidae

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The Late Triassic–Early Jurassic fissures of the Bristol Channel area (southwest England and south Wales) are renowned for their diverse vertebrate faunas. These assemblages have yielded an array of predominantly small‐bodied forms that are crucial to our understanding of the early evolution of several major tetrapod clades.

Early-life famine exposure may modify the association between long-term temperature variability and cardio-cerebrovascular diseases: a nationwide study

Environmental Research: Health
We aimed to evaluate whether the association between long-term temperature variability (TV) and cardio-cerebrovascular diseases (CCVDs) was affected by famine exposure in different age stages. We used data from the fourth national urban and rural elderly

Early-life famine exposure increases the risk of subsequent physical disability: evidence from a national population-based survey

Frontiers in Public Health
BackgroundDue to ethical constraints, famines, which can lead to severe malnutrition, are often viewed as natural experiments to assess the impact of early-life nutritional malnutrition on adverse health outcomes in adulthood. However, evidence regarding

The fossil record stays silent: Confusions and conundrums for hominin pelvis evolution

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The evolution of the hominin pelvis is commonly modeled as a series of stages driven largely by the requirements of bipedal locomotion, reproduction, thermoregulation, and pelvic floor muscular support. These patterns are complicated by variation in canal dimensions in relationship with different changes in overall pelvic breadths. To quantify
