Advanced Electrode Materials for Efficient Hydrogen Production in Protonic Ceramic Electrolysis Cells

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Protonic ceramic electrolysis cells (PCECs) are a promising intermediate‐temperature hydrogen production technology, leveraging high proton conductivity in electrolytes yet constrained by insufficient catalytic activity and interfacial instability in fuel/air electrodes. This review systematically categorizes advanced electrode materials and critically

Causal mechanisms underlying host specificity in bat ectoparasites [PDF]

, 2018
In parasites, host specificity may result either from restricted dispersal capacity or from fixed coevolutionary host-parasite adaptations. Knowledge of those proximal mechanisms leading to particular host specificity is fundamental to understand host ...

Unilateral Ankle‐Foot Exoneuromusculoskeleton with Balance‐Sensing Feedback for Self‐Help Telerehabilitation after Stroke

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This study introduces a hybrid robot that integrates mechanical assistance by musculoskeletons (i.e., soft pneumatic muscle with rigid exoskeletal extensions), neuromuscular electrical stimulation, and vibrotactile feedback in a lightweight wearable mechatronic complex applicable to the paretic ankle–foot poststroke for gait restoration. The system can

Environmental impact on host-parasite interactions. A study on the adaptive value of host castration and gigantism when hosts can regain reproduction [PDF]

, 2011
The aim of this thesis was to investigate how altering the external environment affects life history strategies of hosts and their parasites, and to gain a better understanding of evolutionary theories on castration and gigantism in parasitized hosts. We
