• "Elevated temperature cycling stability and electrochemical impedance of LiMn2O4 cathodes with nanoporous ZrO2 and TiO2 coatings"

Walz KA, Johnson CS, Genthe J, Stoiber LC, et al., Journal of Power Sources 195(15): 4943-4951 Aug 2010.  It is proposed that the establishment of a complex nanoporous network for lithium-ion transport results in a more uniform current distribution at the particle surface, thereby suppressing capacity fade that may be associated with surface instabilities of the spinel electrode.

Anderson MA, Cudero AL, Palma J, Electrochimica Acta 55(12): 3845-3856 Apr 2010.  This paper reviews current methods for treating water in comparison to the state of art of the CDC process. 

• "Effects of coarse aggregate coatings on concrete performance"

Munoz JF, Gullerud KJ, Cramer SM, et al., Journal of Materials in Civil Engineering 22 (1): 96-103 Jan 2010. The purpose of this research was to investigate the influence of natural coarse aggregate coatings on physical properties of concrete and to establish how each of the three common monitoring tests (ASTM C117, Caltrans Test No. 227, and AASHTO TP57) predict the influence of these coatings on the quality of the resulting concrete.

• "The photoelectrocatalytic oxidative treatment of textile wastewater containing disperse dyes"

Paschoal FMM, Anderson MA, Zanoni MVB, Desalination 249 (3): 1350-1355 Dec 2009. This paper presents a study of a prospective photoeletrocatalytic oxidation treatment system for disperse dyes obtained from a textile industry.
