Powering 10-Ah-level Li-S pouch cell via a smart “skin”
No full textDespite the significant advantages of lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries over conventional lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), the practical usefulness of current Ah-level Li-S pouch cells is unsatisfactory, mainly because of the limited electrochemical performance and potential fire risk issues. In a recent study published in Matter, Wei et al. incorporated an ion-selective “skin” into 10-Ah-level Li-S cells and achieved an energy density of 412.7 Wh kg−1 with a low electrolyte/S ratio of 2.6 and an excess Li of 1.43.No Full Tex
Dung-chen(s) tibetanas
No full textLas dung-chen(s) son ejecutadas siempre en pares por monjes lamaístas durante distintos tipos de ceremonias y procesiones. Debido a su gran longitud (puede alcanzar los 4,50 m), en la primera ocasión se apoya el pabellón en el suelo o sobre un soporte de madera; en la segunda es sostenido sobre el hombro de un monje.
Cada una de las trompetas consta de un tubo cónico de cobre dividido en tres secciones que encajan a manera de telescopioEnd-blown natural trumpets. Both trumpets are made of a conical tube of red copper divided into three sections which assemble like a telescope.
Dung chen (s) are always played by two lamaist monks during different kinds of ceremonies and processions. Owing to its extreme length (it can reach 4,50 m.) during the ceremonies the bell is placed on the floor or on a wooden stand, while during processions the monk's shoulder supports it.Museo de Instrumentos Musicales Dr. Emilio Azzarin
Saussurea bhutanensis Y. S. Chen 2014, sp. nov.
No full text5. Saussurea bhutanensis Y. S. Chen, sp. nov. (Fig. 5, 9A & 9B) Type:— CHINA. Xizang: Yadong, Pagri, mountains between border of China and Bhutan, 27°37’ N, 89°07’ E, sandy meadows, 4870 m, 25 August 2013, FLPH Tibet Exped.13-2131 (holotype PE; isotypes PE). Herbs 1–4 cm tall, perennial, stemless, caespitose. Caudex 2–3 cm in diam., usually much branched. Rosette leaves sessile, linear, 10–25 × 1–1.5 mm, abaxially greyish white and densely tomentose-sericeous, adaxially green, shiny, and glabrous, base enlarged, sheathing, and white villous, margin entire and revolute, apex acute. Uppermost leaves merging into phyllaries, supporting capitula. Capitula solitary, in center of leaf rosette or terminal on stem, sessile, concealed by villous hairs. Involucre campanulate, 1–1.6 cm in diam. Phyllaries in ca. 6 rows, apex acuminate to caudate; outer phyllaries narrowly ovate-triangular, 14–16 × 3–4 mm, basal part dark green, apical part greenish, sparsely villous, and reflexed; middle and inner phyllaries narrowly ovate-triangular to narrowly elliptic-linear, 11–13 × ca. 2 mm, basal part pale yellow, apical part blackish purple, villous, and reflexed. Receptacle bristles very few, 1–2 mm long. Corolla purplish, 1.3–1.5 cm long, tube 7–8 mm long, limb 6.5–8 mm long, lobes 3.5–4 mm long. Achene dark brown, conic, ca. 3 mm long, glabrous. Pappus in 2 rows; outer bristles white, 2–3 mm long, scabrid; inner bristles pale brown, 9–10 mm long, plumose. Distribution and habitat: — Saussurea bhutanensis occurs in northern Bhutan and adjacent border of Yadong, Xizang, China. It grows on alpine sandy meadows (including Saussurea, Aster, Primula, Arenaria, Gentiana, Swertia, Cyananthus, Saxifraga and Delphinium species), alpine scree or limestones at altitudes of 4500–4900 m. Phenology:—Flowering and fruiting from August to October. Etymology: —The specific epithet is derived from its main distribution area, Bhutan. Additional specimens examined (paratypes): — BHUTAN. [Bumthang district]: Tolegang, Tsampa, steep open hillside, 4720 m, 2 October 1949, F . Ludlow, G. Sherriff & J. H. Hicks 19784 (BM, E); [Wangdi district]: Wangdue-Phodrang, Thampe La, limestone, 27°43’ N, 90°18’ E, 4500–4600 m, 28 September 2000, G. & S . Miehe 00-421-01 (E). Discussion:— Saussurea bhutanensis belongs to S. subgen. Saussurea sect. Lagurostemon on account of its leaf blade being linear, entire, grasslike, and the capitula solitary, 1–1.6 cm in diameter. Grierson & Springate (2001) reported one specimen from Bhutan (F. Ludlow, G. Sherriff & J. H. Hicks 19784) that is related to Saussurea columnaris Handel-Mazzetti (1937: 652), but they noted this specimen is different from the typical S. columnaris in its receptacle naked, achene glandular-stipitate above and habit usually stemless. This kind of specimen was also found from the Tibetean border with Bhutan (FLPH Tibet Exped.13-2131) by the present author in 2013. But the present author found its receptacle is not entirely naked but with few short bristles 1–2 mm long, achenes glabrous, leaves 1–2.5 cm long, phyllaries usually narrower and apex acuminate, capitula concealed by dense villous hairs. Typical specimens of S. columnaris from Yunnan are different in the receptacle bristles ca. 7 mm long and plants usually stemmed, leaves 2–7 cm long, phyllaries usually broader and apex acute, capitula not concealed by villous hairs. Saussurea bhutanensis is also similar to S. durgae Jeffrey & Srivastava (1997: 235) in its caespitose habit and linear grassy leaves, but S. bhutanensis differs in its leaves adaxially green, shiny, and glabrous, capitula concealed by villous hairs, and corolla purplish, whereas S. durgae differs in its leaves densely clothed with greyish white wooly hairs on both surfaces, capitula not concealed by villous hairs, and corolla pink. A comparison of S. bhutanensis, S. columnaris and S. durgae is given in Table 5.Published as part of Chen, You-Sheng, 2014, Six new species of Saussurea (Asteraceae) from eastern Himalaya, pp. 191-206 in Phytotaxa 177 (4) on page 199, DOI: 10.11646/phytotaxa.177.4.1, http://zenodo.org/record/514474
