Abstract: In a method for recovering lithium hydroxide from a lithium secondary battery, cathode powder is prepared from a cathode of the lithium secondary battery. A cathode active material mixture is prepared by mixing the cathode powder with a calcium compound. The cathode active material mixture is reduced to form a preliminary precursor mixture. A lithium precursor is recovered from the preliminary precursor mixture. Therefore, a lithium precursor can be obtained with high purity without a complicated leaching process or an additional process, which result from a wet-based acid solution process.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a fusion protein comprising a SARS-CoV-2-derived receptor-binding domain and a nucleocapsid protein, and the use thereof. The fusion protein comprising a coronavirus-derived receptor-binding domain and a nucleocapsid protein is highly applicable to a multivalent vaccine composition having greatly improved in-vivo half-life and remarkably superior efficacy compared to an immunogenic composition comprising only a receptor-binding domain. In particular, the fusion protein can greatly improve the titer of the coronavirus-specific antibody formation and T-cell immune response, and is thus useful for the prevention and treatment of coronaviruses comprising SARS-CoV-2.

Abstract: A method of vapor sampling and its delivery to the porous sensory element(s) employed in chemical detectors/sensors for vapor(s) identification and quantification. The sampling and delivery system comprises a flow cell in which a sensory membrane is placed parallel to the flow, while an additional flow normal to the membrane is introduced using the Bernoulli effect. The bi-directional flow of vapors increases the interactions between the sensory material and vapor molecules, and enhances sensitivity.
