Background: Occupational injuries and diseases are life events that significantly impact an
individuals’ identity. In this study, we examined the trajectories of self-esteem among victims …

The storage of large quantities of hydrogen at safe pressures 1 is a key factor in establishing
a hydrogen-based economy. Previous strategies—where hydrogen has been bound …

The gas diffusion layer (GDL) plays a key role on reactant gas diffusion and water
management in proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells. This paper reviews recent …

Large amounts of CH 4 in the form of solid hydrates are stored on continental margins and
in permafrost regions. If these CH 4 hydrates could be converted into CO 2 hydrates, they …

The potential use of carbon nanotubes and nanofibers as smart composite materials is
discussed in this paper. An overview of the properties of carbon nanotube materials is presented, …

Highly active and stable carbon composite catalysts for oxygen reduction in PEM fuel cells
were developed through the high-temperature pyrolysis of Co–Fe–N chelate complex, …

Nitrogen-modified carbon-based catalysts for oxygen reduction were synthesized by modifying
carbon black with nitrogen-containing organic precursors. The electrocatalytic properties …

Structural health monitoring has become an important research topic in conjunction with
damage assessment and safety evaluation of structures. The use of system identification …

PURPOSE To provide precise age-specific risk estimates of cancers other than female breast
and ovarian cancers associated with pathogenic variants (PVs) in BRCA1 and BRCA2 for …

Natural gas hydrates are a potential source of energy 1 and may play a role in climate
change 2 and geological hazards 3 . Most natural gas hydrate appears to be in the form of ‘…
