TL;DR: Fundamental and practical challenges, as well as prospects for the targeted design of Li+ ion-selective membranes are presented, to inspire future critical research efforts in this scientifically and strategically important field.
Abstract: It is predicted that the continuously increasing demand for the energy-critical element of lithium will soon exceed its availability, rendering it a geopolitically significant resource. The present work critically reviews recent reports on Li+ selective membranes. Particular emphasis has been placed on the basic principles of the materials' design for the development of membranes with nanochannels and nanopores with Li+ selectivity. Fundamental and practical challenges, as well as prospects for the targeted design of Li+ ion-selective membranes are also presented, with the goal of inspiring future critical research efforts in this scientifically and strategically important field.

TL;DR: In this paper, planning time was manipulated as a variable in a trial administration of a semi-direct test and Discourse analytic techniques were then used to determine the nature and/or significance of differences in the elicited discourse across the two conditions in terms of comp...
Abstract: The inclusion of planning time in semi-direct oral interaction tests adds consider ably to the overall length of the test, and it is important to be clear that the increase in length is justified by the language outcome. Previous research has shown that the effect of planning time in second language can differentially influence the resultant discourse with planned discourse eliciting more complex language on a range of measures. However, where planning time has been provided it has gener ally been a substantial amount of time (ten minutes or more), and in a second language classroom situation, rather than a testing situation. Where planning time is provided in an oral interaction test it is generally limited to one or two minutes. In this study planning time was manipulated as a variable in a trial administration of a semi-direct test. Discourse analytic techniques were then used to determine the nature and/or significance of differences in the elicited discourse across the two conditions in terms of comp...

TL;DR: The impact that the different VOD system elements have on the video server and set-top are examined from a communications standpoint and opportunities for open or standard interfaces are identified.
Abstract: Open systems will enable video servers and set-tops to provide different services in a variety of environments Hewlett-Packard is interested in applying the principles of open systems to video on demand (VOD) In particular, the company is developing a technology base that will allow their servers and set-tops to operate in a variety of environments and enable the provision of a variety of services The impact that the different VOD system elements have on the video server and set-top are examined from a communications standpoint Opportunities for open or standard interfaces are identified and recommendations are made on what these should be where possible >

TL;DR: This article proposed a discursive analytic approach to the analysis of discourses through the location of statements that function with constitutive effects, taking criticism of Foucauldian discourse analysis as a convenient point of departure to discuss the objectives of poststructural analyses of language.
Abstract: Much has been written on Michel Foucault's reluctance to clearly delineate a research method, particularly with respect to genealogy (Harwood, 2000; Meadmore, Hatcher & McWilliam, 2000; Tamboukou, 1999). Foucault (1994, p. 288) himself disliked prescription stating, ‘I take care not to dictate how things should be’ and wrote provocatively to disrupt equilibrium and certainty, so that ‘all those who speak for others or to others’ no longer know what to do. It is doubtful, however, that Foucault ever intended for researchers to be stricken by that malaise to the point of being unwilling to make an intellectual commitment to methodological possibilities. Taking criticism of ‘Foucauldian’ discourse analysis as a convenient point of departure to discuss the objectives of poststructural analyses of language, this paper develops what might be called a discursive analytic; a methodological plan to approach the analysis of discourses through the location of statements that function with constitutive effects.
