Abstract: Provided is a Li+battery comprising an anode comprising an anode active material comprising a plurality of transition metal (TM1)-substituted binary transition metal (TM2) oxide nanocrystals, a cathode in electrical communication with the anode, a separator between the anode and the cathode, and an electrolyte in contact with the anode and the cathode. The anode active material, in a lithiated state, is characterized by a three-dimensional network of the TM1 and nanoparticles of Li2O and nanoparticles of the TM2, both types of nanoparticles distributed throughout the network. In a delithiated state, the anode active material is characterized by the network of the TM1 and nanoparticles of an oxide of the TM1 and nanoparticles of an oxide of the TM2, both types of nanoparticles distributed throughout the network. The TM1-substituted binary TM2 oxide may be characterized by a ratio of TM2/TM1 of at least about 5.

Abstract: A soluble tumor necrosis factor receptor 2 (TNFRII) mutant has an amino acid substitution at position 92Glu compared with the wild TNFRII. The mutant improves the cytotoxicity capacity of neutralizing TNFalpha and lymphotoxin. The mutant and fusion protein comprising it are useful for the treatment of TNFalpha and lymphotoxin related diseases.

Abstract: Systems and methods for performing space time coding are provided. Two vector?matrix encoding operations are performed in sequence to produce a three dimensional result containing a respective symbol for each of a plurality of frequencies, for each of a plurality of transmit durations, and for each of a plurality of transmitter outputs. The two vector?matrix encoding operations may be for encoding in a) time-space dimensions and b) time-frequency dimensions sequentially or vice versa.
