We, for the first time, demonstrate that orthorhombic V₂O₅ can exhibit superior electrochemical performance in sodium ion batteries when uniformly coated inside nanoporous carbon. The encapsulated V₂O₅ shows a specific capacity as high as 276 mAh/g, while the whole nanocomposite exhibits a capacity of 170 mAh/g. The V₂O₅/C composite was...

The primary purpose of this study was to identify the competencies
needed to perform effectively as a long-term care administrator.
An original list of competency statements was generated from the literature
and from persons active in the field of long-term care administration.
This list of 53 statements was placed into...
Na-ion batteries are emerging as one of the most promising energy storage technologies, particularly for grid-level applications. Among anode candidate materials, hard carbon is very attractive due to its high capacity and low cost. However, hard carbon anodes often suffer a low first-cycle Coulombic efficiency and fast capacity fading. In...

The concentrations of calcite, opal and quartz have been measured in 113 South Atlantic core tops. The remainder of the total sample has been calculated as clay. A method for the quantitative determination of opal has been developed.
Calcite is the dominant factor in South Atlantic sediments; its pattern can...
The purpose of this study was three-fold: to determine how
the false assumption of an abnormal heart condition affected the
lives of false-positive students; the effects of phonocardioscan screening
and cardiologist follow-up procedures on delabeled school children;
and the effectiveness of the follow-up procedures used in
delabeling the false-positive students....
This study was designed to establish a baseline of data
regarding guidelines for curriculum development in the
preparation of health education specialists in health-care
delivery settings.
The survey method was utilized and an expert panel of
15 jurors was selected to respond to a 51 item questionnaire.
Professions represented on...
B and C horizon samples from twenty four selected profiles along
a north-south transect in the Willamette Valley were examined for
possible correlation between shrinkage properties and kind of clay
minerals present.
Observations of linear shrinkage, weight loss from a condition
of maximum plasticity, and changing character of X-ray diffraction...
The primary purpose of this study was the identification of
specific medicine education learning outcomes which are important
and appropriate for ambulatory, non-institutionalized older adults.
A modification of the Delphi technique was utilized and a panel
of 16 national experts was selected on the basis of four criteria to
respond...
The purpose of this descriptive research was twofold: 1) to
determine the expressed concerns, feelings, and needs of a selected
group of expectant fathers; and 2) to categorize those expressed
concerns, feelings, and needs into broad areas and to develop a
priority listing of those items as a basis for...
