Effect of Reaction Conditions on the Coprecipitation of Ni(OH)2 for Lithium-Ion Batteries

2023

Electrochemical performance of cathode active materials (CAMs) is dependent on the properties of coprecipitated precursors (pCAMs). This is a sensitive process affected by several reaction parameters such as temperature, pH, concentration of reactants, agitation rate, and residence time. In this paper, the effect of parameters influencing the particle size growth and the physical properties, such as particle morphology and tapped density, was studied in the coprecipitation of Ni(OH)2. Formation of a homogeneous population with narrow particle size distribution was observed, followed by a more heterogeneous population of dense particles. Ammonia concentration and residence time had significa…

Biological invasions are recognized as a significant evolutionary factor over short time scales. In particular, their effect is well recorded on the genetic structure of populations, the patterns of phenotypic evolution and the richness of parasite fauna associated to invasive populations. This study aims at quantifying the consequences of a biological invasion according to these three levels (genetical, phenotypical and parasitological) taking as example the Mozambique tilapia Oreochromis mossambicus. This African cichlid is characterized by an unusual conservation status since it is both (i) ranked among the world's worst invasive species due to its global dispersion during the 20th centu…

Bending Work Time: Curvilinear Relationship Between Working Time Dimensions and Psychological and Somatic Symptoms.

2020

Objectives Study examines the curvilinear associations of working time dimensions (working hours, time pressure, work schedules, and control of work time and pace) on psychological and somatic symptoms. Methods Representative Finnish Quality-of-Work-Life Surveys conducted in 2003, 2008 and 2013 were restricted to those (N=11,165) regularly working over 10h/week with more than one-year tenure in their job. Generalised additive models were utilised in analysis. Results Working hours had U-shaped relationships with psychosomatic symptoms, while time pressure had a threshold effect. Work pace control had linear effect. The effects of work time control and work schedules were insignificant. Ther…

High-quality superconducting titanium nitride thin film growth using infra-red pulsed laser deposition

2018

Superconducting titanium nitride (TiN) thin films were deposited on magnesium oxide, sapphire and silicon nitride substrates at 700 °C, using a pulsed laser deposition (PLD) technique, where infrared (1064 nm) pulses from a solid-state laser were used for the ablation from a titanium target in a nitrogen atmosphere. Structural studies performed with x-ray diffraction showed the best epitaxial crystallinity for films deposited on MgO. In the best films, superconducting transition temperatures, T C, as high as 4.8 K were observed, higher than in most previous superconducting TiN thin films deposited with reactive sputtering. A room temperature resistivity down to ~17 μΩ cm and residual resist…

Ponnistelujen ja palkkioiden epäsuhdan sekä ylisitoutuneisuuden yhteys työn intohimoon

2017

Tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli lisätä tietoa työssä ilmenevien ponnistelujen ja palkkioiden epäsuhdan sekä ylisitoutuneisuuden yhteyksistä kahteen erilaiseen työn intohimoon: harmoniseen ja pakonomaiseen. Tutkimus kohdistui 270 suomalaiseen toimihenkilöön. Tutkittavista 220 oli miehiä (81.5%) ja tutkittavien keski-ikä oli 42 vuotta (kh 3.3, vaihteluväli 34—47). Hierarkkisen lineaarisen regressioanalyysin tulokset osoittivat, että ponnistelujen ja palkkioiden epäsuhta selitti korkeaa harmonista työn intohimoa. Ylisitoutuneisuus selitti vähäistä harmonista työn intohimoa ja korkeaa pakonomaista työn intohimoa. Ylisitoutuneisuus ei muuntanut ponnistelujen ja palkkioiden epäsuhdan yhteyttä kumpa…

Neurocognitive Predictors of Response to Intervention With GraphoGame Rime

2021

This study explores the neurocognitive predictors of response to intervention with GraphoGame Rime, an adaptive software game designed to aid the learning of English phonics. A cohort of 398 children (aged 6 – 7 years) who had participated in a recent Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT) of GraphoGame Rime in the United Kingdom were studied. Half were randomly assigned to play GraphoGame Rime (GG Rime) and the other half were assigned to Business As Usual (BAU). A series of pretests were given prior to the intervention to all participants, designed to measure phonological awareness skills, executive function (EF) skills and the ability to synchronise finger tapping to a rhythmic beat. Finger t…

Strukturen hos narrativer skrivna av L1- och L2-inlärare av svenska : en textanalys baserad på Labovs narrativa modell

2012

Tässä pro gradu -tutkielmassa tarkastelen suomalaisten lukiolaisten (n=20) ja yliopisto-opiskelijoiden (n=20) sekä ruotsalaisten lukiolaisten (n=20) ruotsinkielisten kertomusten rakennetta. Vertaan, miten suomalaiset toisen kielen oppijat ja ruotsalaiset ensikielen oppijat rakentavat kertomuksensa. Tutkimusmateriaali, joka koostuu 60 lyhyestä kirjoittajien omiin kokemuksiin perustuvasta kertomuksesta, on osa aineistoa, jota on kerätty Jyväskylän yliopiston toisen kielen oppimista käsittelevässä Topling-hankkeessa vuodesta 2010 alkaen. Tutkimukseni on pääasiassa laadullinen tekstinanalyysi, jossa käytän myös määrällisiä menetelmiä. Pohjaan analyysini labovilaiseen kertomusmalliin (Labov & Wa…

Time interaction with two spatial dimensions: from left/right to near/far

2022

In this study, we explored the time and space relationship according to two different spatial codings, namely, the left/right extension and the reachability of stimulus along a near/far dimension. Four experiments were carried out in which healthy participants performed the time and spatial bisection tasks in near/far space, before and after short or long tool-use training. Stimuli were prebisected horizontal lines of different temporal durations in which the midpoint was manipulated according to the Muller-Lyer illusion. The perceptual illusory effects emerged in spatial but not temporal judgments. We revealed that temporal and spatial representations dynamically change according to the ac…
