TL;DR: MAO showed beneficial effects on the corrosion resistance of, and thus improved cell adhesion to, the Mg-Ca alloy, and should be a good surface modification method for other biomedical magnesium alloys.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate the issue of channel coordination for a supply chain facing stochastic demand that is sensitive to both sales effort and retail price and find that only the properly designed returns policy with SRP contract is able to achieve channel coordination and lead to a Pareto improving win-win situation for supply chain members.

TL;DR: In this article, a novel redox flow battery consisting of a solid oxide electrochemical cell (SOEC) integrated with a redox-cycle unit is presented. But the performance of the battery was not evaluated.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors study the inventory, production, and contracting decisions of a multi-echelon supply chain with both demand and supply uncertainty, and they find that commonly used wholesale price contracts used by both up-stream and downstream supply chain members cannot coordinate the system.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the highly active but unstable nanostructured intermediate-temperature solid oxide fuel cell cathode, La0.6Sr0.4CoO3-δ (LSCo), can retain its high oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) activity with exceptional stability by overcoating its surfaces with a conformal layer of nanoscale ZrO2 films through atomic layer deposition (ALD).
