Achieving reliable and repeatable electrochemical impedance spectroscopy of rechargeable batteries at extra-low frequencies
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2022)There is a need for techniques for efficient and accurate measurement of the impedance of rechargeable batteries at extra-low frequencies (ELFs, of the order of microhertz), as these reflect real usage and cycling patterns, ... -
Pacific parental engagement and intergenerational storytelling in Aotearoa New Zealand
(Springer, 2022)In this article, we focus on how Pacific family support places success of individuals within a wider narrative of intergenerational family stories, contributing to successful futures for the participating Pacific youth and ... -
Left restriction monoids from left E-completions
(Elsevier BV, 2022-05)Given a monoid S with E any non-empty subset of its idempotents, we present a novel one-sided version of idempotent completion we call left E-completion. In general, the construction yields a one-sided variant of a small ... -
Ordered Ehresmann semigroups and categories
(Taylor & Francis Inc, 2022-05-08)Ehresmann semigroups may be viewed as biunary semigroups equipped with domain and range operations satisfying some equational laws. Motivated by some of the main examples, we here define ordered Ehresmann semigroups, and ... -

(F,G)-abundant semigroups
(Springer, 2022)On a semigroup S, define the equivalence relation F={(a,b)∈S×S∣∀x∈S:xa=x⇔xb=x}, and define G dually. We say S is F-abundant if there is an idempotent in every F-class, and similarly for G-abundance, and we say S is ... -
The economic impact of climate change on wheat and maize yields in the North China Plain.
(2022-05-07)Climate change has significantly affected agricultural production. As one of China's most important agricultural production regions, the North China Plain (NCP) is subject to climate change. This paper examines the influence ... -

Rapid holistic assessment and rating of post-earthquake hospital functionality
(2019)Hospitals play a critical role in ensuring community safety. It is imperative that they remain operational during and after an earthquake, to provide immediate and ongoing medical care. However, experience shows frequent ... -
Functional group‐dependent responses of forest bird communities to invasive predator control and habitat fragmentation
(Wiley, 2022)Aim Mounting global pressure on bird populations from invasive predators and habitat loss has driven a rapid growth in restoration and conservation action around the world, yet the efficacy of such actions is still not ... -
Ethical, legal, and social issues in the Earth BioGenome Project.
(2022)The Earth BioGenome Project (EBP) is an audacious endeavor to obtain whole-genome sequences of representatives from all eukaryotic species on Earth. In addition to the project's technical and organizational challenges, it ... -
The right place at the right time: Seasonal variation of bacterial communities in arid Avicennia marina soils in the Red Sea is specific to its position in the intertidal
(2022)Mangrove forests play an important role in facilitating biogeochemical pathways and cycling acting as blue carbon sinks. These services are primarily regulated by the activity of the soil microbiome. However, there is still ... -
