TL;DR: Wang et al. as discussed by the authors model the interactive networks of the risks associated with different stakeholders in green building projects and to gain an understanding of the key risk networks, which improves the effectiveness and accuracy of stakeholder and risk analysis by demystifying the social complexity which is usually overlooked in traditional linear risk impact analysis.

TL;DR: In this article, the Parkes Pulsar Timing Array (PTA) was used to study the variations seen in the dispersion measures (DMs) of 20-ms pulsars observed as part of the PTA project.
Abstract: We present an analysis of the variations seen in the dispersion measures (DMs) of 20-ms pulsars
observed as part of the Parkes Pulsar Timing Array project.We carry out a statistically rigorous
structure function analysis for each pulsar and show that the variations seen for most pulsars
are consistent with those expected for an interstellar medium characterized by a Kolmogorov
turbulence spectrum. The structure functions for PSRs J1045−4509 and J1909−3744 provide
the first clear evidence for a large inner scale, possibly due to ion–neutral damping. We also
show the effect of the solar wind on the DMs and show that the simple models presently
implemented into pulsar timing packages cannot reliably correct for this effect. For the first
time we clearly show how DM variations affect pulsar timing residuals and how they can be
corrected in order to obtain the highest possible timing precision. Even with our presently
limited data span, the residuals (and all parameters derived from the timing) for six of our
pulsars have been significantly improved by correcting for the DM variations.

TL;DR: In this paper, an intermediate-redshift measurement for blue galaxies, using galaxy shape measurements from SDSS and spectroscopic redshifts from the WiggleZ Dark Energy Survey, was presented.
Abstract: Correlations between the intrinsic shapes of galaxy pairs, and between the intrinsic shapes of galaxies and the large-scale density field, may be induced by tidal fields. These correlations, which have been detected at low redshifts (z < 0.35) for bright red galaxies in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS), and for which upper limits exist for blue galaxies at z similar to 0.1, provide a window into galaxy formation and evolution, and are also an important contaminant for current and future weak lensing surveys. Measurements of these alignments at intermediate redshifts (z similar to 0.6) that are more relevant for cosmic shear observations are very important for understanding the origin and redshift evolution of these alignments, and for minimizing their impact on weak lensing measurements. We present the first such intermediate-redshift measurement for blue galaxies, using galaxy shape measurements from SDSS and spectroscopic redshifts from the WiggleZ Dark Energy Survey. Our null detection allows us to place upper limits on the contamination of weak lensing measurements by blue galaxy intrinsic alignments that, for the first time, do not require significant model-dependent extrapolation from the z similar to 0.1 SDSS observations. Also, combining the SDSS and WiggleZ constraints gives us a long redshift baseline with which to constrain intrinsic alignment models and contamination of the cosmic shear power spectrum. Assuming that the alignments can be explained by linear alignment with the smoothed local density field, we find that a measurement of Sigma(8) in a blue-galaxy dominated, CFHTLS-like survey would be contaminated by at most +0.02(-0.03) (95 per cent confidence level, SDSS and WiggleZ) or +/- 0.03 (WiggleZ alone) due to intrinsic alignments. We also allow additional power-law redshift evolution of the intrinsic alignments, due to (for example) effects like interactions and mergers that are not included in the linear alignment model, and find that our constraints on cosmic shear contamination are not significantly weakened if the power-law index is less than similar to 2. The WiggleZ sample (unlike SDSS) has a long enough redshift baseline that the data can rule out the possibility of very strong additional evolution.

TL;DR: A kinetically accelerated Al-S battery has a sulfur utilization of more than 80 %, with at least four times the sulfur content and five times the current density than that of previous work.
Abstract: The electrochemical performance of the aluminum-sulfur (Al-S) battery has very poor reversibility and a low charge/discharge current density owing to slow kinetic processes determined by an inevitable dissociation reaction from Al2 Cl7- to free Al3+ . Al2 Cl6 Br- was used instead of Al2 Cl7- as the dissociation reaction reagent. A 15-fold faster reaction rate of Al2 Cl6 Br- dissociation than that of Al2 Cl7- was confirmed by density function theory calculations and the Arrhenius equation. This accelerated dissociation reaction was experimentally verified by the increase of exchange current density during Al electro-deposition. Using Al2 Cl6 Br- instead of Al2 Cl7- , a kinetically accelerated Al-S battery has a sulfur utilization of more than 80 %, with at least four times the sulfur content and five times the current density than that of previous work.
