Inconsistencies in high temperature thermoelectric property measurements of Ba8Ga16Ge30 have prompted our study on the thermal stability of this heavily studied inorganic clathrate. Using X-ray diffraction, thermal analysis, ...

In order to improve health care processes (both in terms of quality and efficiency), we do need insight into how these processes are actually executed in reality. Interviewing health personnel and observing them in their ...

The net neutrality principle states that users should have equal access to all Internet content and that Internet Service Providers (ISPs) should not practice differentiated treatment on any of the Internet traffic. While ...

A general assumption in quantitative genetics is the existence of an intermediate phenotype with higher mean individual fitness in the average environment than more extreme phenotypes. Here we investigate the evolvability ...

Manufacturing companies that seek to improve circularity performance across the supply chain, face many challenges in the transition of traditional linear approaches into more circular supply chain models. Reverse logistics ...

CO oxidation over Pd(100) and Pd75Ag25(100) has been investigated by a combination of near-ambient-pressure X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, quadrupole mass spectrometry, density functional theory calculations, and ...

We report Peltier heats and reaction entropy of cells with lithium metal- and near fully lithiated lithium iron phosphate (LFP) electrodes. The Peltier heats were measured through the Seebeck coefficient of thermogalvanic ...

We review measurements of reversible heat effects in lithium-ion batteries, i.e. entropy changes and Seebeck coefficients of cells with relevant electrodes. We show how to compute the Peltier heat of battery electrodes ...

The cryosphere reacts sensitively to climate change, as evidenced by the widespread retreat of mountain glaciers. Subsurface ice contained in permafrost is similarly affected by climate change, causing persistent impacts ...
