Screen shot Free Ebook Electronic structure and bonding in energy storage materials

LixNi0.5Mn0.5O2 and LixNi1/3Mn1/3Co1/3O2 are cathode materials in Li-ion batteries. The changes in their electronic structure during charging/discharging processes were studied by using electron energy loss spectrometry (EELS) in a transmission electron microscope (TEM) and first-principles calculations. Significant growth was observed at O K-edge upon the removal of lithium, indicating a depletion of O 2p electrons.

PDF Ebook Luteal Phase Immunosuppression and Meat Eating

Submitted by antoq on Fri, 10/07/2011 - 08:21

Immunosuppression during pregnancy makes the mother vulnerable to pathogens. Because meat is the principal source of ingestible pathogens, pregnancy raises the costs of meat eating. Natural selection has crafted a mechanism involving changes in nausea susceptibility and olfactory perception that reduces meat consumption during pregnancy. Evidence is presented showing that the luteal phase is marked by both immunosuppression and changes in nausea susceptibility and olfaction; meat consumption may be reduced during this period, suggesting a mechanism similar to pregnancy sickness.

Ebook Land-Market Adjustment During Economic Transition: A Case Study for Vietnam

Submitted by wulan on Fri, 03/19/2010 - 07:07

Vietnam’s agrarian transition in the 1990s has closely followed a now classic policy scenario for economies in transition. First one privatizes the main productive assets in this case agricultural land-use rights then one legalizes their free exchange. In the first step, the de-collectivization of agriculture meant that the land that had been farmed collectively was to be allocated by administrative means within each commune. Naturally this left inefficiencies in land allocation, with some households having more land than they are likely to have had in a competitive market allocation, while some had less.

The second step was reforming land laws so as to create the framework for a free market in agricultural land-use rights. While land remained the property of the state, Vietnam reformed land laws in 1993 to introduce official land titles and permit land transactions for the first time. Having removed legal obstacles to buying and selling land-use rights, one might expect rapid transition to a more efficient market economy in which land was re-allocated to eliminate the initial inefficiencies in the administrative assignment.
