Moreover, the microelectronic structure of Mg(OH)2 with point defects in the bulk and on its surface were investigated using the first principles. The simulation results indicate that Mg(OH)2 was easily modified by other cations because of its strong, favorable interstitial and substitution defects via point defect energy calculation. Mg(OH)2 can provide high-efficiency flame retardancy because of the strong OH(OH Schottky defect) or H bond(H Frenkel defect and Schottky defect). The potential model of Mg(OH)2 was established, and molecular dynamics simulation was used to investigate the relations between the crystal structure and the mechanical properties. Mg(OH)2 with special morphology such as nano-sheets was a prior consideration to maintain the composite mechanical properties. The detailed electronic structures of Mg(OH)2 with defects were determined. This work may provide theoretical guidance for choosing dopant element and reveal the element doping mechanism of Mg(OH)2.展开更多

The central finding of this investigation is that there is a power-law relationship between the local electric field concentration and the rate of defect-tip initiated conducting crack growth. By applying such a power-law conducting crack growth rate expression to the evaluation of the life of solid dielectrics, the empirical classical ageing law of insulation materials can be derived theoretically as a lobical result. All the results are universal and agree with the experimental data of oxide films.展开更多

Based on an analytical bondorder poial scheme, empirical manybody interatomic potential for hcpY has been developed. The model is fitted to some properties of Y, e.g., the lattice parameters, elastic constants, bulk modulus, cohesive energy, vacancy formation energy, and the structural energy differences. The present potential has ability to reproduce defect properties including the selfinterstitial atoms formation energies, vacancy formation energy, divacancy binding energy, as well as the bulk properties and the thermal dynamic properties.展开更多

Methods: A total of 36 cases were recruited in this study. Before treatment, a Chinese medical constitution survey was conducted on these children. Based on the survey findings, the children were divided in different groups for acupuncture intervention. Additionally, the heart rate variability and attention were detected respectively before treatment, in the 12th and 24th week after treatment. Results: ADHD kids commonly manifest as a body constitution of yang predominance and heat exuberance. The kids' Body Mass Indexes (BMI) are moderately correlated with attention deficit disorder (ADD). After the treatment of 24 weeks, the ADHD scores were reduced from (10.94±1.98) to (8.56±2.48), showing a statistical significance (P〈0.05); in addition, the low frequency/high frequency (LF/HF) and normalized low frequency (nLF) between the two groups were also statistically different (P〈0.05). Conclusion: Most ADHD kids present with a body constitution of yang predominance and heat exuberance. A well-controlled BMI is helpful for ADHD treatment. Acupuncture can be a supplementary therapy to improve the ADHD symptoms.展开更多

The calculated results agree well with the experimental value, indicating that the analytic bond-order potential is suitable to describe the structural properties and surface energies of the FePt alloy in the L10 phase. However, the calculated vacancy formation energy of an Fe atom is higher than that of a Pt atom, which disagrees with some other previously calculated results. This result indicates that the analytic bond-order potential is unable to describe the related point defect properties. The analytic bond-order potential needs to be modified in order to study these defect properties of an FePt alloy.展开更多

Meanwhile, recent recommended protocol for fluid resuscitation was increasingly debated on hemodynamic stability vs risk of overloading. In recent publications, it was found that a priority was often given to hemodynamic stability rather than organ function alternation in the early fluid resusci- tation of sepsis. However, no safety limits were used at all in most of these reports. In this article, the rationality and safety of early aggressive fluid loading for septic patients were discussed. It was concluded that early aggressive fluid loading improved hemodynamics transitorily, but was probably traded off with a follow-up organ function impairment, such as worsening oxygenation by reduction of lung aeration, in a part of septic patients at least. Thus, a safeguard is needed against unnecessary excessive fluids in early aggressive fluid loading for set)tic patients.展开更多

The derived results show that the resistant-type will certainly colonize in patients once mutation occurs. Furthermore, a neutral mutation is closely related to the colonized pattern of resistant-type HIV-1 quasispecies and there are some changes in the pattern of transmission dynamics when mutation occurs mainly during reproduction or in the absence of reproduction, which may lead to significant strategies for predicting or checking HIV-1 drug resistance in HAART.展开更多

文摘To study the transition dynamics of resistant-type human immunodeficiency virus 1 (HIV-1) in highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) and the affect of neutral mutation in the evolution of HIV-1, a mathematical model is proposed when mutation occurs mainly during reproduction. The derived results show that the resistant-type will certainly colonize in patients once mutation occurs. Furthermore, a neutral mutation is closely related to the colonized pattern of resistant-type HIV-1 quasispecies and there are some changes in the pattern of transmission dynamics when mutation occurs mainly during reproduction or in the absence of reproduction, which may lead to significant strategies for predicting or checking HIV-1 drug resistance in HAART.
