Revisiting the effective connectivity within the distributed cortical network for face perception by Roman Kessler, Kristin M. Rusch, Kim C. Wende, Verena Schuster, Andreas Jansen

“…The classical core system of face perception consists of the occipital face area (OFA), fusiform face area (FFA), and posterior superior temporal sulcus (STS). The functional interaction within this network, more specifically the effective connectivity, was first described by Fairhall and Ishai (2007) using functional magnetic resonance imaging and dynamic causal modeling. …”

Boosting High-Rate Lithium Metal Batteries by Using Ether-Based Gel Polymer Electrolyte by Chenchen Zhang, Zuohang Li, Su Wang, Chen Li, Yuchang Si, Yue Ma, Dawei Song, Hongzhou Zhang, Xixi Shi, Lianqi Zhang

“…The LiFePO4/ME-GPE/Li battery presents a high-rate (10 C) capacity retention of 85.6% after 200 cycles, while sluggish Li-ion transfer is exhibited in the liquid counterpart and a low capacity retention of 47.2% is presented after cycling. Density functional theory calculations show that the binding energies of Li+/DFOB− with a polymer matrix are much higher than those of the liquid electrolyte, which is conducive to the release and the rapid transfer of more Li ions. 7Li solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance exhibits a similar result; the higher frequency observed after cycling indicates a larger electron density variation and greater mobility of Li ions. …”
