New Releases by Andrew Williamson

The Realm of Antiquities. A realm of exquisite energetic existence, where ascended Masters have been residing for millennia. These Masters have chosen a human medium, to deliver an all encompassing message to Earth`s physical realm. The author, at the time of writing, was decisively youthful on his journey. Now, at the time of publishing, he is substantially wiser, of his own Truth Absolute. It is only within this place of wisdom, that he is able to convey the writing, from his own experience, with confidence, absolute. We have guided him through his darkest hours, into a place of emotional beauty, once more. We encourage one and all to read these pages, gaining only what you feel necessary for your journey on Earth. It is your truth, as an individual, which is the intent of the writing, the intent of the sharing of the knowledge, contained within. You already know all that is written in these pages, yet you are unable to recall this knowledge, nor your experience of it. We pray that the reading of the pages within, brings you into the place of being at one within your own soul, your own Truth Absolute. Blessings, The Realm of Antiquities.

Read Zoo 3y first. This book explains Zoo 3Y.

Nanostructured antimony is a highly promising alloying electrode material for both Li-ion and Na-ion battery systems, possessing a large gravimetric charge storage capacity (660 mAh g−1) combined with extraordinary rate capability (cycling at a 20C rate results in only a ~15% decrease in capacity, relative to 1C). Herein, we elucidate the fundamental drivers for the performance of antimony nanomaterial-based Na-ion battery negative electrodes with a particular focus on the effects of morphology, temperature and oxidation. In support of these studies, we report the supercritical-fluid-based synthesis of highly anisotropic, hexagonal antimony nanoplatelets with 1000:1 aspect ratios and average thicknesses of 50±10 nm and use the nanoplatelets as a model system to investigate how morphology and strain impact the phases that are encountered during the electrochemical alloying of nanostructured antimony in Na-ion battery electrodes, the thermodynamics and kinetics of battery cycling and the electrode morphology and conductivity. For these investigations we study the electrodes via capacity and differential capacity analysis, a high-fidelity galvanostatic intermittent titration technique, conductive atomic force microscopy and in situ X-ray diffraction. We find that active material anisotropy results in increased ordering and crystallinity during cycling for the antimony nanomaterial-based electrodes and increased composite heterogeneity. We also identify c-NaSb a previously unobserved phase for antimony-based Na-ion battery electrodes that occurs primarily during degraded cycling. We then utilize electrochemical impedance spectroscopy to investigate the source of temperature-based performance changes in antimony nanocrystal-based Na-ion battery electrode materials. We find that increased charge transfer resistance is predominantly responsible for the observed 100 mAh g−1 capacity reduction (~20%) that occurs upon changing the cycling temperature from 50 to 5°C. Furthermore, we determine that the observed decrease in capacity at low temperature is almost entirely caused by increased charge transfer resistance due to less facile Na-ion transport across the solid-electrolyte interphase layer-electrode interface. Additionally, we systematically study the effects of oxidation on antimony-based electrode performance. Most antimony-based and antimony oxide-based electrodes are typically fabricated into electrodes in a water-based slurry under atmospheric conditions. While this fabrication approach is lower cost and much safer than the methods used for other battery electrode materials that must be processed using toxic organic solvents under inert gas, the level of oxide formation that occurs during water-based slurry processing of nanostructured antimony has largely been undiscussed and left as an uncontrolled variable during electrode fabrication. Here, we systematically investigate the impact of oxide formation on changes in the electrochemical performance of antimony nanocrystal-based Na-ion battery negative electrodes, providing insight as to why small amounts of oxide result in enhanced gravimetric capacity and capacity retention, while more extensive oxidation results in reduced rate capability. We find that barriers to the sodiation of highly oxidized antimony are reduced by amorphization of the crystalline antimony oxide (c-Sb2O3) during extended cycling, while sodium sequestration leads to low reversible sodium storage utilization upon extended cycling.

There is so much more to Amsterdam than coffee houses.

Situated within the emerging fields of e-Democracy and Community Informatics (CI), this mixed methods research explores the factors affecting the uptake of electronic democratic (e-Democracy) processes in a regional community setting from a citizen-driven (bottom-up) perspective. Critical social theory and a social-critical approach were used to guide sequential phases of data collection.

Based on material in the 150-year-old archive of Thomas Cook, this work is a voyage through the romantic era of travel, from the mid-Victorian period to the 1950s. There are 40 full-page poster reproductions, and travel memorabilia, from tickets to early tourists' photographs.

Once mocked and wrongly accused, he was nothing more than a disposable “simp” in everyone’s eyes. But everything changes when he unlocks a terrifying ability—his cultivation multiplies at an insane rate. As his strength skyrockets beyond imagination, those who once scorned him begin to fear him… and regret their choices. Even the senior sister who abandoned him now begs for forgiveness. A satisfying tale of revenge, power, and a rise no one can stop.
