Transition state and formation process of Stone–Wales defects in graphene

Stone–Wales(SW) defects are possibly formed in graphene and other two-dimensional materials, and have multiple influence on their physical and chemical properties. In this study, the transition state of SW defects in graphene is determined with the fully discrete Peierls theory. Furthermore, the atomic formation process is investigated by means of ab-initio simulations. The atomic structure change and energetics of the SW transformation are revealed. It is found that the transition state is at the SW bond rotation of 34.5°and the activation energy barrier is about 12 eV. This work provides a new method to investigate SW transformations in graphene-like materials and to explore unknown SW-type defects in other 2D materials.

Ordovician Intrusive-related Gold-Copper Mineralization in West-Central New South Wales, Australia

Three major types of Ordovician intrusive-related gold-copper deposits are recognized in central-west New South Wales, Australia: porphyry, skarn and high sulphidation epithermal deposits. These deposits are mainly distributed within two Ordovician volcano-intrusive belts of the Lachlan Fold Belt: the Orange-Wellington Belt and the Parkes-Narromine Belt. Available isotopic age data suggest that mineralization of the three types of deposits is essentially coeval with the Ordovician intrusive rocks (480-430 Ma).Porphyry gold-copper deposits can be further divided into two groups. The first group is associated with monzonite showing shoshonitic features, represented by Cadia and Goonumbla. The second group is associated with diorite and dacite, including the Copper Hill and Cargo gold-copper deposits. Gold skarn is associated with Late Ordovician (430-439 Ma) monzonitic intrusive complexes in the Junction Reefs area (Sheahan-Grants, Frenchmans, and Cor-nishmens), Endeavour 6, 7 and 44, Big and Little Cadia. The epithermal gold deposits with high sulphidation including Gidginbung (Temora) and Peak Hill mainly occur within Ordovician andesite and volcaniclastic rocks, and are associated with advanced argillic alteration. Available isotopic age data indicate that both alteration and mineralization of the porphyry, skarn and epithermal gold-copper deposits are broadly coeval with the Late Ordovician shoshonitic magmatism, which is thought to result from the melting of sub-continental lithosphere caused by Palaeozoic subduction events.The Ordovician intrusive-related gold-copper deposits are restricted to two longitudinal parallel volcano-intrusive belts, rarely extending outside them. Diagonal intra-belt trends of mineralization are common, particularly at the intersections of longitudinal and transverse (oblique) fault/fracture zones based on the authors' review of available geological data. The locations of these gold-copper deposits are obviously influenced by transverse (oblique) fault/fracture zones that are oriented northwest, eastwest and northeast. The conjunctions of these fault/fractures zones are thought to be zones of structural weakness, and appear to be the favourable locus for the Ordovician intrusive-related gold-copper deposits. Differences in structural patterns, intrusive, wall rock types, and depths of ore formation may contribute to the differences among the deposits.

Self-Healing of Stone–Wales Defects in Boron Nitride Monolayer by Irradiation:Ab Initio Molecular Dynamics Simulations

We show an effective method of healing the Stone–Wales(SW)defects through low energy electron irradiation using ab initio molecular dynamics simulation.The SW defects can be healed by irradiation through bond rotation.Although the healing energy shows an anisotropic behavior,it is lower than the displacement threshold energy.The healing of the SW defect through electron irradiation can be effectively used in other sp2-bonded materials.

Evaluating the Potential Economic Benefits of the New South Wales Node of Australia＇s Integrated Marine Observing System： [NSW-IMOS]

The Integrated Marine Observing System [IMOS] is an Australian national program for observing the oceans around Australia. As one of its important nodes, the New South Wales Integrated Marine Observing System （NSW-IMOS] aims to provide more accurate descriptions of the East Australian Current [EAC]. The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the potential economic benefits from NSW-IMOS. Six related sectors which can potentially be among its main beneficiaries are considered： beach recreation, commercial fishing, recreational fishing, recreational boating, natural hazard predictions, and oil spill mitigation. The 1% constant percentage increase evaluation method is used to estimate the potential economic benefits to these six beneficiaries. By using this method, our study shows that the total potential economic benefit for these sectors is estimated to be $ 6.07 million per year. We consider that this is indicative but not conclusive in demonstrating some of the potential economic benefits that can be provided from information gathered by NSW-IMOS facilities. We conclude with further evaluative approaches that could be used to provide more accurate estimates of potential economic benefits.

Predicting the Stitch Density of Finished Fabrics Using Weft Blended Grey Knit Fabrics

Stitch density is one of the critical quality parameters of knit fabrics. This parameter is closely related to other physical quality parameters like fabric weight, fabric tightness factor, fiber types, blend ratio, yarn diameter and linear density, and fabric structure. Selecting stitch density (wales per inch, course per inch) is essential to getting the appropriate fabric weight and desired quality. Usually, no rules or assumptions exist to get the desired stitch density in the finished fabric stage. Fifteen types of blended knit fabrics were prepared to conduct the study. The varying percentages of cotton, polyester, and elastane are incorporated in the blends. Regression analysis and regression ANOVA tests were done to predict the stitch density of finished fabrics. A suitable regression equation is established to get the desired results. The study also found that the stitch density value in the finished stage fabric decreases by approximately 15% compared to the stitch density in the grey fabric stage. This study will help the fabric manufacturers get the finished fabric stitch density in advance by utilizing the grey fabric stitch density data set. The author expects this research to benefit the knitting and dyeing industry, new researchers, and advanced researchers.

1 Geology THE Currawang deposit is situated in the Canberra-Goulburn district, near the Woodlawn deposit, and isone of a large number of the massive sulfide deposits of base metal located in the late Silurian volcanics,New South Wales. The Currawang deposit is a vein type deposit in basic volcanics, different from otherdeposits in the Canberra-Goulburn district which are the felsic-volcanics-hosted deposits and belong toVMS. The Currawang deposit as two lenses (the south lens and the north lens) that occurred in the basicvolcanics consisted of pillow basalt, massive basalt, with agglomerate, tuff and dolerite. The constituentsof the basalt are amphibole, chlorite, feldspar, pyroxene, epidote, leucoxene, ilmenite, magnetite,

Stone–Wales defects in hexagonal boron nitride as ultraviolet emitters

Many quantum emitters have been measured close or near the grain boundaries of the two-dimensional hexagonal boron nitride where various Stone–Wales defects appear.We show by means of first principles density functional theory calculations that the pentagon–heptagon Stone–Wales defect is an ultraviolet emitter and its optical properties closely follow the characteristics of a 4.08-eV quantum emitter,often observed in polycrystalline hexagonal boron nitride.We also show that the square–octagon Stone–Wales line defects are optically active in the ultraviolet region with varying gaps depending on their density in hexagonal boron nitride.Our results may introduce a paradigm shift in the identification of fluorescent centres in this material.

Clergy as a frontline mental health service:a UK survey of medical practitioners and clergy

Background Christian clergy have often been identified as'frontline mental health workers'and gatekeepers to mental health services.However,despite this,collaboration between clergy and mental health services remains poor,with some US clergy referring on as little as 10%of cases.Aims In this study,we aimed to evaluate the collaborative relationship between UK clergy and medical practitioners,with the purpose of identifying key issues that should be addressed to improve such collaboration between the two services.Methods We surveyed 124 clergy,48 general practitioners and 13 psychiatrists in Wales.Part 1 of the survey covered four main themes:demographics;types of mental health cases seen by clergy and practitioners;referral rates between clergy and mental health services;attitude and relationship between clergy and mental health services.Part 2 was directed at clergy only and assessed how sensitive clergy were in identifying and referring on mental health disorders by using seven virtual case vignettes.Results Clergy frequently encountered mental health cases and around 60%-80%regularly referred on to a healthcare professional.Clergy appeared very effective at identifying and referring on high risk scenarios,such as psychosis,suicidal ideation and substance misuse,however were less effective at identifying and referring on clinical depression and anxiety.Clergy rarely received referrals from medical professionals.Both medical professionals and clergy felt they needed to engage in a more collaborative relationship,and around of onethird of practitioners were prepared to offer training to clergy.Conclusion Most clergy in Wales regularly encounter mental health cases and appear effective at recognising and referring on mental health disorders;however,a large minority do not(20%-40%).Clergy generally do not receive referrals from mental health professionals,despite the proven benefits.Therefore,improving collaboration,developing spiritual training for mental health professionals,and mental health training for clergy is likely useful,a notion that many clergy and medical professionals deem important and are prepared to support.

Effect of Knitted Structures and Yarn Count on the Properties of Weft Knitted Fabrics

This paper is focused on change in shrinkage, GSM, Wales per Inch and Course per Inch due to structure and count variation and state variation. This work was carried out with 12 samples of single jersey, single lacoste and weft lock knit fabrics of different counts which were scoured with NaOH. After pretreatment process the samples were tested for widthwise shrinkage, width, GSM, Wales per Inch and Course per Inch and compared between different states like grey state and finished state. The result obtained in this research indicated that physical properties like structures with tuck stitch possess higher value of widthwise shrinkage, width, GSM and Wales per Inch and Course per Inch value lowers prominently in those structures having float or miss stitches. In both cases i.e. grey state and RFD state values of those properties are high in coarser yarn and low in finer yarn. During project knitted fabrics specification along with machine specification and major factors which are necessary to calculate different types of variation and variables on which the whole fabric construction depends were managed to watch carefully. Main efforts were to develop a dependable way so that the resulting fabric specifications with required configuration can be easily visualized and be forecasted. A great emphasization was provided to the adjustable points on which fabric GSM, stitch length, fabric width and shrinkage percentage directly or indirectly depends.
