TL;DR: Synchrotron radiation phase-contrast X-ray tomographic microscopy was applied to observation and identification of the features of spruce anatomy at the cellular lengthscale and it is suggested that the position of sub-voxel-sized features can be determined indirectly using watershed segmentation.

TL;DR: The results suggest that metal dissolution in the electrolyte and decomposition products resulting from the high potentials adversely affect the gas generation, particularly in the first charge cycle (i.e., during graphite solid-electrolyte interface layer formation).

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated liquid water uptake in an orthotropic, cellular, hierarchical and natural material namely wood using neutron radiography and found that latewood cells play a more significant role in water uptake than earlywood cells and that ray tracheids also contribute to liquid transport.

TL;DR: Dendrochronological analyses of olive trees growing on the Aegean island Santorini (Greece) show that the determination of the number of tree-rings is impossible because of intra-annual wood density fluctuations, variability in tree-ring boundary structure, and restriction of its cambial activity to shifting sectors of the circumference, causing the tree- ring sequences along radii of the same cross section to differ.

TL;DR: The results show that a reduction of the quantification bias can be obtained, up to one order of magnitude, for moderately transparent samples, and little sensitivity is observed to the parameters used for the correction.
