On the Development of Intercalation-Based Cathode Materials for All-Solid-State Fluoride Ion Batteries

Recently reversible batteries based on fluoride ions as a charge carriers have attracted some attentions as an alternative electrochemical energy storage system to conventional lithium ion batteries (LIBs). Fluoride is the most stable anion with a high mobility and therefore, fluoride ion batteries (FIBs) can theoretically provide a wide electrochemical potential window. Moreover, FIBs are capable of being built in an all solid-state modification. Previously, electrochemical fluoride ion cells based on conversion-based electrode materials have been built. However, the state of the art of the FIBs suffer from poor cycling performance in lack of well-developed cell components including the electrode materials. In the current study, intercalation-based cathode materials have been investigated as an alternative approach to make electrode materials for FIBs. In this respect, various compounds with mainly Ruddlesden-Popper-type structure including LaSrMO4 (M = Mn, Co, Fe) and La2MO4+d (M = Co, Ni) as well as Schafarzikite-type compounds of Fe0.5M0. 5Sb2O4 (M = Mg, Co) have been subjected to electrochemical measurements including galvanostatic cycling, cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and the structural changes upon electrochemical fluorination/de-fluorination were analyzed by X-ray Diffraction (XRD). LaSrMnO4 has been fluorinated/de-fluorinated via electrochemical method confirming successful intercalation/de-intercalation of the fluoride ions, but showed problems for long-term operation. In contrast, La2NiO4+d showed to be the most promising intercalation-based cathode material (for FIB) in terms of cycling stability (>220 cycles and 60 cycles for cutoff capacities of 30 and 50 mAh/g, respectivly) with a nearly 100% Coulombic efficiency (average Coulombic efficiency of 97.68% and 95.44% for cutoff capacities of 30 and 50 mAh/g, respectively). This is the highest cycle life that has been reported so far for a FIB. One of the major challenges of the proposed FIB systems was found in avoiding oxidation of the conductive carbon which has been mixed with the electrodes to improve the electronic conductivity. This decomposition of the carbon matrix results in a remarkable increase in the impedance of the cell and can significantly impair the cycle life and discharge capacity. However, the critical charging conditions which could be determined by cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy have a major impact on preserving the conductivity of the cell. In addition, the effect of volume change in the conversion-based anode materials has been studied showing that the overpotentials arising from the volume change can significantly influence the cycling behavior of the battery system (due to absence of well-developed intercalation-based anode materials for FIBs, conversion-based counter electrodes have been used as anode materials).
The Interplay Between Emotional Intelligence, Tramadol Dependence, and Comorbid Personality Disorder

Objectives: Various studies have proven the presence of disturbances in emotional processing among patients with substance abuse. In the current study, we aimed to examine the relationship between emotional intelligence (EI), tramadol dependence, and comorbid personality disorders. Methods: Thirty adult male patients with tramadol dependence and 30 healthy controls were enrolled in the current study. Participants were assessed by the Structured Clinical Interview for Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition Axis I diagnosis (SCID-I) and the Structured Clinical Interview for Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition Axis-II Personality Disorders (SCID-II). EI was assessed using the Schutte SelfReport Emotional Intelligence Test. Results: With respect to the Schutte Self-Report Emotional Intelligence Test score, there was a statistically significant difference between patients with tramadol dependence and the control group in all domains of EI (P<0.001). With respect to the SCID-II, the most common personality disorders reported among patients with tramadol dependence were borderline personality disorder (13, 43.3%), followed by depressive personality disorder (12, 40%) and narcissistic personality disorder (10, 33.3%). There was no statistically significant difference between common personality disorders and all domains of EI. Conclusion: The susceptibility to tramadol dependence is most likely to underlie disturbances in EI, suggesting that treatment strategies targeting the management of emotions would reduce this risk.
Housing Markets in a Pandemic: Evidence from Historical Outbreaks

How do pandemics affect urban housing markets? This paper studies historical outbreaks of the plague in 17th-century Amsterdam and cholera in 19th-century Paris to answer this question. Based on micro-level transaction data, we show outbreaks resulted in large declines in house prices, and smaller declines in rent prices. We find particularly large reductions in house prices during the first six months of an epidemic, and in heavily-affected areas. However, these price shocks were only transitory, and both cities quickly reverted to their initial price paths. Our findings suggest these two cities were very resilient to major shocks originating from epidemics.
What Makes a Media Entrepreneur? Factors Influencing Entrepreneurial Intention of Mass Communication Students

Entrepreneurship and new venture creation are seen as important drivers of media industry’s change and renewal. However, whether newly founded companies will emerge in the future depends to a large extent on entrepreneurial individuals. Through a survey of students from 47 German universities (N = 720), this study identifies critical factors that explain the entrepreneurial intention of today’s mass communication students, who are likely to be among the future start-up founders in journalism and media industry. Conclusions drawn indicate possibilities for the early identification of potential media entrepreneurs and their ongoing encouragement by journalism and mass communication educators.
Fermentation of cellulose and cellobiose by 'Clostridium thermocellum' in the absence and presence of 'Methanobacterium thermoautotrophicum'. (Thermophilic cellulose fermentation)

The fermentation of cellulose and cellobiose by Clostridium thermocellum monocultures and C. thermocellum/Methanobacterium thermoautotrophicum cocultures was studied. All cultures were grown under anaerobic conditions in batch culture at 60C. When grown on cellulose, the coculture exhibited a shorter lag before initiation of growth and cellulolysis than did the monoculture. Monocultures produced primarily ethanol, acetic acid, H2, and CO2. Cocultures produced more H2 and acetic acid and less ethanol than did the monoculture. In the coculture, conversion of H2 to methane was usually complete, and most of the methane produced was derived from CO2 reduction rather than from acetate conversion. Agents of fermentation stoppage were found to be toxic concentrations of ethanol and acid in the monoculture and of acid in the coculture. Fermentation of cellobiose was more rapid than that of cellulose. In cellobiose medium, the methanogen caused only slight changes in the fermentation balance of the Clostridium, and free H2 was produced.
Optimal Relief Order Quantity Under Stochastic Demand and Lead Time

In this paper, a newsboy model is developed under uniformly distributed lead-time and demand that is an appropriate assumption in obtaining optimal relief inventory of humanitarian disasters; there is limited historical data on relief operations. Analytical and approximation solutions of optimal relief order quantity are derived. The effect of lead-time uncertainty on the optimal solution is tested analytically. The approximation solution is demonstrated numerically and can accurately fit an analytical one once the variation coefficient of lead-time is low. The analytical results suggest that lead-time uncertainty may increase or decrease relief order quantity, which depends on the variation coefficient of lead-time.

CARCASS CHARACTERISTICS OF YOUNG GOATS FROM DIFFERENT BREED GROUPS UNDER TWO FEEDING SYSTEMS

The present trial was conducted with the purpose of comparing breeds, sex and feeding systems on carcass characteristics of goat kids. S eventy-eight goats from both sexes, five breeding groups and two management systems were used in this trial: 13 Alpine (7 male and 6 female), 14 Boer x Alpine F1 (7 male and 7 female), 15 ½ Anglo-Nubian x ½ Alpine (9 male and 6 female), 17 Boer x Alpine F2 (7 male and 10 female) and 19 ½ Anglo-Nubian x ¼ Alpine x ¼ Boer (9 male and 10 female). The animals were raised under feedlot conditions, weaned at 60 days of age and fed a pelleted diet containing 70% concentrate and 30% hay (S1 = 40 animals) or grazing on cultivated Tanzania grass pasture ( Panicum maximum ) (S2 = 38 animals). Animals were slaughtered after reaching 120 days of age. The effects of breed, sex and feeding system on live weight at slaughter (LWS) were significant (P 20.0 kg ) and animals from S1 had higher LWS in comparison to animals from S2 (26.0 vs 17.7 kg ). Hot carcass of Boer x Alpine (F1) goat kids was heavier ( 11.5 kg ) than Boer x Alpine F2 (9.2 kg), Alpine ( 9.7 kg ), ½ Anglo-Nubian x ¼ Alpine x ¼ Boer ( 10.4 kg ) and ½ Anglo-Nubian x ½ Alpine (9.9 kg). Dressing percentage was affected (P
The profitability, growth and meat quality of grain finished entire male and castrated Bos indicus cattle from a north Australian production system

The profitability, growth, carcass and meat quality from high grade; grain fed Bos indicus entire male and castrated cattle that were either positively or negatively homozygous or heterozygous for the calpastatin gene from a vertically integrated north Australian production system were investigated. Preliminary analysis into the profitability of producing entire vs. castrated male cattle for the domestic market using Breedcow herd budgeting software was undertaken based on a hypothetical breeding herd of 1200 cows. Although entire males had higher gross margins compared to castrates during the finishing phase, they were unable to make up the earlier losses of $24.04/AE at weaning. There were no differences in performance between entire males and castrates prior to the onset of puberty in the on-farm experiment. Following the onset of puberty and combined with an energy dense finishing ration, entire males grew 27% faster than castrates. There were no differences in temperament between the castrates and entire males (P > 0.05). Entire males produced carcasses that were heavier (P = 0.005), had less marbling (P = 0.001) and were more mature (P = 0.007) compared to carcasses from castrates. Both entire males and castrates that were negatively homozygous or heterozygous produced carcasses that were heavier than carcasses from animals that were positively homozygous for the calpastatin gene (P < 0.05). All but one entire male carcass qualified as gain fed yearling beef (GFYG) under the Ausmeat selection criteria and consequently were awarded a similar price per kg compared to castrates. The price combined with the heavier carcass weights resulted in entire males being $50 more profitable per carcass compared to castrates. Entire males produced tougher samples of the M. Longissimus dorsi after aging for 14 days (P = 0.001) and 28 days (P = 0.005) compared to castrates. Selecting animals that were either positively or negatively homozygous or heterozygous for the calpastatin gene didn't affect M. Longissimus dorsi meat tenderness. In conclusion entire male cattle can be managed and produced for the domestic trade, profitably, in accordance with Ausmeat selection criteria. In addition, meat tenderness in Bos indicus castrated or entire male cattle was unable to be improved by selecting against the calpastatin gene.
The enzymes playing role in detoxification of the pesticides in mites and insects.

In the control of pests in agriculture, chemical control is more preferred according to other methods because of easy application and effects shown in a short time. However, as a result of unconscious use of insecticides against pests, many problems are occurred such as disruption of natural balance, environmental pollution, negative effects to the beneficial insects and development resistance of pests to them. Additionally, the same or different groups of chemicals indicate no effect to the multi-resistance and cross-resistance development resistance pests and insect control to be difficult. This article contains, physiological mechanisms of developing resistance against to insecticides which are commonly used in the control and connection with the resistance development of insect enzymes such as esterase, glutathione S-transferase, P450 monooxygenase.
Internet Self-Efficacy, Self-Regulation, and Student Performance: African-American Adult Students in Online Learning

The paper intended to investigate adult students’ Internet self-efficacy, self-regulation, and performance in online learning environments. The relationships between these variables and the effect of student characteristics on Internet self-efficacy and self-regulation were explored. The participants of this study were African American students from a university in the United States. They participated in two web-based research courses offered in summer. Data were collected through an online survey and were analyzed by a quantitative approach. The results showed Internet self-efficacy was positively related to self-regulation at a significant level. Internet self-efficacy and self-regulation differed in terms of student performance. The differences of gender and age did not have a significant impact on Internet self-efficacy and self-regulation. Discussions and implications were addressed according to the major findings of this study.
The evaluation of basal respiration and some chemical properties of soils under cover crop treatments in a cherry orchard

Effects of different cover crops (CCs), mechanical cultivation and herbicide treatments on some soil chemical properties [pH, EC, total N, available P, exchangeable cations (Ca, Mg, K, Na) and the DTPA-extractable micronutrients (Fe, Mn, Zn, Cu)] and basal soil respiration (BSR) were investigated in a cherry orchard from 2013 to 2014. The present study was conducted in a cherry orchard located at the Experiment Station of Black Sea Agricultural Research Institute in Samsun province on the Northern side of Turkey. CC treatments, included Trifolium repens L. (TR), Festuca rubra subsp. Rubra (FRR), Festuca arundinacea (FA), T. repens (40%)+F. rubra rubra (30%)+F. arundinacea (30%) mixture (TFF), Vicia villosa (VV) and Trifolium meneghinianum (TM). Control treatments included mechanical cultivated (weed-free), herbicide treated (weed-free) and control plots, i.e., bare ground plots (with no cover crop) were allowed to become weedy. The experiment was conducted in a randomized complete block design with four replicates. The CCs were mowed in the flowering stages of the plants. After 90 days following seed harvest, soil samples were collected from two depths (0-20 and 20-40 cm) in each plot. All cropping species showed positive effects on soil chemical properties and BSR. The CC treatments decreased soil pH and exchangeable Na and increased EC, total N, available P, exchangeable cations (Ca, Mg, K) and the DTPA-extractable micronutrients (Fe, Mn, Zn). Effects of mechanical cultivation and herbicide treatments on soil chemical properties and BSR values were not found significant for both soil depths as compared to control (p<0.01). Results of the study showed that CCs, especially TR and VV treatments as legume plants improved soil chemical properties and BSR values in short term period. However, longer term studies are needed to evaluate the long-term effects of these sustainable management practices which have the potential to improve soil quality variables are encouraged.
ON THE MIX OF GOVERNMENT EXPENDITURE AND TAX REVENUES

We study the implications of changes in the mix of taxes, public spending, and public finance in the Eurozone. In so doing, we build a general equilibrium OLG model that naturally incorporates all the main categories of public spending and taxes. We focus on the medium- and long-run implications of permanent reforms in the actual policy mix. When we depart from 2008, the best way out of the recession would be an increase in public spending on education and health and in turn cuts in distorting taxes including social security contributions. When we depart from the year 2017, which features a higher inherited public debt, public debt consolidation becomes the superior reform to the extent that the focus is on the medium and long run.

Cliteracy for him: effectiveness of bibliotherapy for heterosexual men’s sexual functioning

Abstract The current study examined whether reading the chapter titled “Cliteracy for Him” from the book Becoming Cliterate is an effective intervention for increasing young heterosexual men’s sexual functioning. Specifically, this study compared an intervention group (i.e., those who read the chapter) to a waitlist control group at three points in time: before reading the chapter, immediately after reading the chapter, and three weeks later. Outcome measures included clitoral knowledge, sexual self-esteem, sexual depression, communication during sexual activity, and dysfunctional beliefs about sexuality (e.g., beliefs about women’s satisfaction, about being “macho,” and sexual conservatism). Participants who read the bibliotherapy chapter showed immediate improvement on clitoral knowledge, dysfunctional beliefs about women’s sexual satisfaction, and sexual communication. Longer-term improvements were found on clitoral knowledge, and dysfunctional beliefs about both women’s sexual satisfaction and being “macho. ” Additionally, compared to the waitlist control group, men in the intervention group demonstrated better sexual communication and fewer dysfunctional beliefs about women’s sexual satisfaction immediately after reading the chapter, and more clitoral knowledge, fewer dysfunctional beliefs about women’s sexual satisfaction, fewer dysfunctional macho beliefs, and lower sexual depression three weeks after reading the chapter. Clinical implications and future research directions are discussed.
Contrasting sources and processes of particulate species in haze days with low and high relative humidity in winter time Beijing

Although there are many studies of particulate matter (PM) pollution in Beijing, the sources and processes of secondary PM species during haze periods remain unclear. Limited studies have investigated the PM formation in highly polluted environments under lowand high-relative-humidity (RH) conditions. Herein, we present a systematic comparison of species in submicron particles (PM1) in wintertime Beijing (29 December 2014 to 28 February 2015) for clean periods and pollution periods under lowand high-RH conditions. PM1 species were measured with an aerosol chemical species monitor (ACSM) and an Aethalometer. Sources and processes for organic aerosol (OA) were resolved by positive matrix factorization (PMF) with a multilinear engine 2 (ME-2). The comparisons for clean, low-RH pollution and high-RH pollution periods are made from three different aspects, namely (a) mass concentration, (b) mass fraction and (c) growth rate in diurnal profiles. OA is the dominant component of PM1, with an average mass concentration of 56.7 μg m−3 (46 %) during high-RH pollution and 67.7 μg m−3 (54 %) during low-RH pollution periods. Sulfate had higher concentration and mass fraction during high-RH pollution periods, while nitrate had higher concentration and mass fraction during low-RH pollution periods. The diurnal variations of nitrate and oxygenated organic aerosol (OOA) showed a daytime increase in their concentrations during all three types of periods. Nitrate had similar growth rates during low-RH (0.40 μg m−3 h−1) and high-RH (0.55 μg m−3 h−1) pollution periods. OOA had a higher growth rate during lowPublished by Copernicus Publications on behalf of the European Geosciences Union. 9102 R. -J. Huang et al.: Contrasting sources and processes of particulate species in haze days RH pollution periods (1.0 μg m−3 h−1) than during high-RH pollution periods (0.40 μg m−3 h−1). In contrast, sulfate had a decreasing trend during low-RH pollution periods, while it increased significantly with a growth rate of 0.81 μg m−3 h−1 during high-RH pollution periods. These distinctions in mass concentrations, mass fractions and daytime growth rates may be explained by the difference in the formation processes affected by meteorological conditions. In particular, photochemical oxidation and aqueous-phase processes may both produce sulfate and nitrate. The relative importance of the two pathways, however, differs under different meteorological conditions. Additional OOA formation under highRH (> 70 %) conditions suggests aqueous-related formation pathways. This study provides a general picture of the haze formation in Beijing under different meteorological conditions.
