Prospective/intentional and incidental everyday memory: Effects of age and passage of time.

Investigated the effects of age and passage of time on incidental and prospective/intentional everyday memory. 79 23–93 yr old volunteers were tested twice, and 33 of the Ss were tested 3 times over an 18-mo period. They were asked to recognize or recall, either in writing or orally, experiences from a 3-day period in which they served as research Ss. Results demonstrate that incidental, but not prospective/intentional, memory appeared to be influenced by age and passage of time. Results imply that salience and context are important factors in aging memory performance and that certain types of everyday retrospective reports may be reliable.

OLED科技的未来最大功率效益的重要性

虽然最近几年有机发光二极管(Organic LjghtEmission Diode,OLED)显示器已经商品化,不过OLED显示器不论是发光效率、使用寿命,或是改用无晶硅基大型面板等问题仍有待改善.     

A taxonomy of variability realization techniques

Development of software product families relies heavily on the use of variability to manage the differences between products by delaying design decisions to later stages of the development and usage of the constructed software systems. Implementation of variability is not a trivial task, and is governed by a number of factors. In this paper, we describe the factors that are relevant in determining how to implement variability, and present a taxonomy of variability realization techniques.

Energy savings certificates: A market-based tool for reducing greenhouse gas emissions

Energy savings certificates (ESCs) are potentially a major tool that can be used by regulators and policy makers in reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. In this paper, we present our findings on the experience to date with ESCs, outline potential program opportunities in the US, and conclude with our perspective on how to proceed with the use of ESCs, particularly as a component of GHG reduction programs.     

Joint investigation of concrete at high rates of loading

Uniaxial tensile tests have been carried out on a micro-concrete with strain rates between 0.5 and 1.25 s⁻¹. The investigation is described and the results are discussed with respect to the influence of water content on the strain-rate sensitivity.     

Novel components from secretory hairs of azalea lace bugStephanitis pyrioides (Hemiptera: Tingidae)

The azalea lace bug secretes a clear fluid from secretory setae on the antennae and globulated spines on the dorsal and lateral aspects of the abdomen. The secretion contains 2-alkyl-5-hydroxychromones, the corresponding chromanones and diketones, and straight-chain aldehydes and ketones.     

Boosting the electrochemical performance of Li-garnet based all-solid-state batteries with Li<Subscript>4</Subscript>Ti<Subscript>5</Subscript>O<Subscript>12</Subscript> electrode: Routes to cheap and large scale ceramic processing

All-solid-state batteries based on fast Li⁺ conducting solid electrolytes such as Li₇La₃Zr₂O₁₂ (LLZO) give perspective on safe, non-inflammable, and temperature tolerant energy storage. Despite the promise, ceramic processing of whole battery assemblies reaching close to theoretical capacities and finding optimal strategies to process large-scale and low cost battery cells remains a challenge. Here, we tackle these issues and report on a solid-state battery cell composed of Li₄Ti₅O₁₂ / c-Li_6.25Al_0.25La₃Zr₂O₁₂ / metallic Li delivering capacities around 70–75 Ah/kg with reversible cycling at a rate of 8 A/kg (for 2.5–1.0 V, 95 °C). A key aspect towards the increase in capacity and Li⁺ transfer at the solid electrolyte-electrode interface is found to be the intimate embedding of grains and their connectivity, which can be implemented by the isostatic pressing of cells during their preparation. We suggest that simple adaption of ceramic processing, such as the applied pressure during processing, strongly alters the electrochemical performance by assuring good grain contacts at the electrolyte-electrode interface. Among the garnet-type all-solid-state ceramic battery assemblies in the field, considerably improved capacities and cycling properties are demonstrated for Li₄Ti₅O₁₂ / c-Li_6.25Al_0.25La₃Zr₂O₁₂ / metallic Li pressed cells, giving new perspectives on cheap ceramic processing and up-scalable garnet-based all-solid-state batteries.
