Double-blind acupuncture needles: a multi-needle, multi-session randomized feasibility study
Pilot and Feasibility Studies, 2018 Background Efficacy of acupuncture is difficult to demonstrate without a feasible double-blind milieu. Double-blind acupuncture needles have been validated in single session protocols with one or two needles but not been tested in a protocol requiring ...

Finding a needle in a haystack: toward a psychologically informed method for aviation security screening [PDF]
, 2014 Current aviation security systems identify behavioral indicators of deception to assess risks to flights, but they lack a strong psychological basis or empirical validation. We present a new method that tests the veracity of passenger accounts.

Elucidating Sodium Ion Storage Mechanisms in Hard Carbon Anodes at the Electronic Level
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.High‐resolution, multi‐frequency continuous wave, and pulsed Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) spectroscopy uncover the intricate Na ion storage mechanisms in hard carbon. This study reveals the coexistence of Na ion intercalation and solvent co‐intercalation, alongside a subsequent transition of Na ions from ionic to quasi‐metallic to metallic ...
