TL;DR: In this article, an end member phase on complete lithium deintercalation was isolated, which is a hexagonal single-layered phase with and has lattice parameters of a = 2.822 A and c = 4.29 A.
Abstract: While has been widely studied in the past 15 years as a promising positive electrode material in lithium‐ion batteries, suprisingly, many questions are still unanswered concerning the electrochemical characteristics of the lithium intercalation material. Among these is the existence of an end member phase on complete lithium deintercalation. The use of dry plastic lithium‐ion battery technology has allowed the construction of an in situ x‐ray diffraction cell which allows structural characterization of at x values at and close to 0 for the first time. Instead of the expected destruction of the core structure of by a drastic increase in structural disorder, an increase in crystallographic quality occurred as x approached 0. For the first time, the end member phase was isolated. This phase is a hexagonal single‐layered phase (O1) believed to be isostructural with and has lattice parameters of a = 2.822 A and c = 4.29 A. The phase converted immediately back to a three‐layer (O3) delithiated type phase on lithium reinsertion. Electrochemical studies show that 95% of lithium can be reinserted back into the structure on complete delithiation and reversible cycling properties are maintained when cycled back to 4.2 V.

TL;DR: The formulation of SHs is an important advancement for future multi-omics studies and for better understanding the mechanisms of fermentation inhibition in lignocellulosic hydrolysates, which was instrumental for defining the most important inhibitors in the ACH.
Abstract: The fermentation inhibition of yeast or bacteria by lignocellulose-derived degradation products, during hexose/pentose co-fermentation, is a major bottleneck for cost-effective lignocellulosic biorefineries. To engineer microbial strains for improved performance, it is critical to understand the mechanisms of inhibition that affect fermentative organisms in the presence of major components of a lignocellulosic hydrolysate. The development of a synthetic lignocellulosic hydrolysate (SH) media with a composition similar to the actual biomass hydrolysate will be an important advancement to facilitate these studies. In this work, we characterized the nutrients and plant-derived decomposition products present in AFEX™ pretreated corn stover hydrolysate (ACH). The SH was formulated based on the ACH composition and was further used to evaluate the inhibitory effects of various families of decomposition products during Saccharomyces cerevisiae 424A (LNH-ST) fermentation. The ACH contained high levels of nitrogenous compounds, notably amides, pyrazines, and imidazoles. In contrast, a relatively low content of furans and aromatic and aliphatic acids were found in the ACH. Though most of the families of decomposition products were inhibitory to xylose fermentation, due to their abundance, the nitrogenous compounds showed the most inhibition. From these compounds, amides (products of the ammonolysis reaction) contributed the most to the reduction of the fermentation performance. However, this result is associated to a concentration effect, as the corresponding carboxylic acids (products of hydrolysis) promoted greater inhibition when present at the same molar concentration as the amides. Due to its complexity, the formulated SH did not perfectly match the fermentation profile of the actual hydrolysate, especially the growth curve. However, the SH formulation was effective for studying the inhibitory effect of various compounds on yeast fermentation. The formulation of SHs is an important advancement for future multi-omics studies and for better understanding the mechanisms of fermentation inhibition in lignocellulosic hydrolysates. The SH formulated in this work was instrumental for defining the most important inhibitors in the ACH. Major AFEX decomposition products are less inhibitory to yeast fermentation than the products of dilute acid or steam explosion pretreatments; thus, ACH is readily fermentable by yeast without any detoxification.

TL;DR: A novel tree matching algorithm is introduced which finds the best set of corresponding nodes between two shock trees in polynomial time and is demonstrated under articulation, occlusion, and moderate changes in viewpoint.
Abstract: We have been developing a theory for the generic representation of 2-D shape, where structural descriptions are derived from the shocks (singularities) of a curve evolution process, acting on bounding contours. We now apply the theory to the problem of shape matching. The shocks are organized into a directed, acyclic shock graph, and complexity is managed by attending to the most significant (central) shape components first. The space of all such graphs is highly structured and can be characterized by the rules of a shock graph grammar. The grammar permits a reduction of a shockgraph to a unique rooted shock tree. We introduce a novel tree matching algorithm which finds the best set of corresponding nodes between two shock trees in polynomial time. Using a diverse database of shapes, we demonstrate our system's performance under articulation, occlusion, and changes in viewpoint.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared the antioxidative and free radical scavenging activities of caffeic acid compounds with those of α-tocopherol and BHT in the Rancimat test and found that the addition of test compounds in lard significantly extended the induction time of lipid oxidation.
Abstract: Hydroxycinnamic acid compounds are an important source of antioxidants due to their ubiquitous occurrence in the plant kingdom and their characteristic activities. In this study, we compared the antioxidative and free radical scavenging activities of caffeic acid (CA), caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE), ferulic acid (FA), ferulic acid phenethyl ester (FAPE), rosmarinic acid (RA), and chlorogenic acid (CHA) with those of α-tocopherol and BHT. In the Rancimat test, the addition of test compounds in lard significantly extended the induction time of lipid oxidation, and the activities in decreasing order were CA ∼ α-tocopherol > CAPE ∼ RA > CHA ≫ BHT > FA ∼ FAPE. When the lipid substrate was changed to corn oil, the effectiveness of antioxidants on the induction time was obviously decreased, and the potency order of antioxidants was changed to RA > CA ∼ CAPE ∼ CHA > α-tocopherol > BHT; FA and FAPE had no significant antioxidative effect in the corn oil system. The 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radical (DPPH...
