Analysis of swale factors implicated in pollutant removal efficiency using a swale database
Published in Environmental Science and Pollution Research
Swales are traditional basic open-drainage systems which are able to remove stormwater-borne pollutants. In spite of numerous case studies devoted to their performances, parameters influencing the reduction of pollutant concentrations by swales remain elusive. In order to better characterize them, a database was set up by collecting performance res...
Generating Lithium-Ion Cell Thermodynamic Efficiency Maps
In lithium-ion cells, heat is generated via joules losses and exothermic electro-chemical reactions, causing cells to self-heat and risk premature aging or catastrophic failure. However, heat generation is not constant throughout the cells discharge, due to the complex chemical reactions and changes in the micro structure of the active materials of...
Workplace Respiratory Protection Factors during Asbestos Removal Operations
Numerous changes have been made to the French labour regulations in recent years relating to the prevention of risks of exposure to asbestos fibres for operators removing asbestos-containing materials. These changes refer to the method used to count fibres, the collective and personal protective devices to be used on these worksites, and the occupa...
Use of the kurtosis statistic in an evaluation of the effects of noise and solvent exposures on the hearing thresholds o...
Published in The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America
The aim of this exploratory study was to examine whether the kurtosis metric can contribute to investigations of the effects of combined exposure to noise and solvents on human hearing thresholds. Twenty factory workers exposed to noise and solvents along with 20 workers of similar age exposed only to noise in eastern China were investigated using ...
Tenofovir versus placebo to prevent perinatal transmission of hepatitis B

BACKGROUND: Pregnant women with an elevated viral load of hepatitis B virus (HBV) have a risk of transmitting infection to their infants, despite the infants’ receiving hepatitis B immune globulin. METHODS: In this multicenter, double-blind clinical trial performed in Thailand, we randomly assigned hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg)–positive pregnant wo...

Efficiency Degradation Model of Lithium-ion Batteries for Electric Vehicles
The purpose of this paper is to analyse efficiency degradation of lithium-ion batteries. Two lithium-ion cell technologies are considered under calendar ageing. It is well known that ageing mechanisms have an impact in cells' performances. Most of studies focus on capacity fade and impedance rise but efficiency is less frequently studied. However, ...
