Study of nicotine content in the aerosols of ENDS of various designs by T. A. Zaitseva, T. A. Perezhogina, S. N. Medvedeva, L. V. Kokorina

“…To determine the nicotine content in ENDS aerosol, it is recommended to use the ISO 20768 method, since when using ISO 20768exp, the stable operation of ENDS devices decreases. It has been found that different devices produce different amounts of nicotine according to the ISO 20768: 2018 aerosol collection regime. …”

Optimal Operation Strategy of Ship Power System Under Battle Damage for Enhancing Survivability in Long-Term Missions by Chunhan Bai, Yun Tan, Fanrong Wei, Xiangning Lin

“…After a ship suffers an external strike, the system is often in a poor state of battle damage. Currently, the support capacity of the system in all aspects decreases dramatically, the operation interval narrows, and it is not easy to ensure the completion of the long-term mission chain, especially when it involves impact loads, which is more significant. …”

Boosting C-C Coupling for Electrochemical CO₂ Reduction over Novel Cu-Cubic Catalysts with an Amorphous Shell by Hanlin Wang, Tian Wang, Gaigai Dong, Linbo Zhang, Fan Pan, Yunqing Zhu

“…In this study, we employed sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate (SDBS) as a surfactant in the electrodeposition method to synthesize copper cubes encapsulated with an amorphous shell (100 nm–250 nm) containing numerous defect sites on its surface. The electrocatalytic CO₂ reduction reactions in an H-type reactor showed that, compared to ED-Cu synthesized without additives, AS (amorphous shell)-Cu-5 exhibited a Faradaic efficiency value for ethylene that was 1.7 times greater than that of ED-Cu while significantly decreasing the Faradaic efficiency of hydrogen production. …”
