TL;DR: It is demonstrated that few- and several-layered graphene and graphene oxide (GO) sheets can be engineered to exhibit the desired gas separation characteristics, and tunable gas transport behavior was strongly dependent on the degree of interlocking within the GO stacking structure.
Abstract: Graphene is a distinct two-dimensional material that offers a wide range of opportunities for membrane applications because of ultimate thinness, flexibility, chemical stability, and mechanical strength. We demonstrate that few- and several-layered graphene and graphene oxide (GO) sheets can be engineered to exhibit the desired gas separation characteristics. Selective gas diffusion can be achieved by controlling gas flow channels and pores via different stacking methods. For layered (3- to 10-nanometer) GO membranes, tunable gas transport behavior was strongly dependent on the degree of interlocking within the GO stacking structure. High carbon dioxide/nitrogen selectivity was achieved by well-interlocked GO membranes in high relative humidity, which is most suitable for postcombustion carbon dioxide capture processes, including a humidified feed stream.

TL;DR: In this article, the assessed effects of tillage on organic matter, the scale, extent and mechanisms of physical protection of organic matter in soils are discussed, and the periodical perturbation of soil structure by tools and the subsequent drying-rewetting cycles may be the major factor increasing organic matter decomposition rates by exposing the organic matter that is physically protected in microaggregates to biodegradation.
Abstract: Tillage has been reported to reduce organic matter concentrations and increase organic matter turnover rates to a variable extent. The change of soil climate and the incorporation of aboveground C inputs within the soil lead to no unique effect on biodegradation rates, because of their strong interaction with the regional climate and the soil physical properties. The periodical perturbation of soil structure by tools and the subsequent drying‐rewetting cycles may be the major factor increasing organic matter decomposition rates by exposing the organic matter that is physically protected in microaggregates to biodegradation. This paper reviews the assessed effects of tillage on organic matter, the scale, extent and mechanisms of physical protection of organic matter in soils. # 2000 Elsevier Science B.V.

TL;DR: Results indicated that sport participation is associated with alcohol use, with 82% of the included studies showing a significant positive relationship, and participation in sports reduced the risk of overall illicit drug use, but particularly during high school; suggesting this may be a critical period to reduce or prevent the use of drugs through sport.

TL;DR: In this paper, Li4Ti5O12 was found to have certain reactivity towards electrolytes at room and high temperature (60 °C), and in the presence of carbon in the electrode (i.e., the conventional electrode formulation), the reactivity of the electrode towards an electrolyte was significantly increased at high temperatures.
Abstract: Does the Li4Ti5O12 electrode need a carbon additive in lithium-ion batteries? We answered this question in our previous work by showing that the partially reduced Ti4+ on the surface of Li4Ti5O12 could provide enough electronic conductivity to initiate the electrochemical process. In this work, we discuss the generally accepted fact that a solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) is hardly formed on the surface of the Li4Ti5O12 electrode owing to its high redox potential by using the carbon-free Li4Ti5O12 electrode to exclude the influences of carbon. In contrast to the previous argument, Li4Ti5O12 was found to have certain reactivity towards electrolytes at room and high temperature (60 °C). Moreover, in the presence of carbon in the electrode (i.e. the conventional electrode formulation), the reactivity of the electrode towards an electrolyte was significantly increased at high temperatures. These results were discussed based on surface analyses and electrode morphology observation before and after cycling, and correlated with the electrochemical performance.
