Itis found thation damage is a key factor affecting the quality of Ga NAs and Ga In NAs QWs. Obvious appearance of pendello¨ sung fringes in X- ray diffraction pattern and remarkable im provement in the optical properties of the samples grown with ion removal magnets are observed.By removing nitrogen ions,the PL intensity of the Ga In NAs QW is improved so as to be comparable with that of Ga In As QW. The stronger is the magnetic field,the m ore obvious the PL intensity im provement would be.展开更多

A constant strain rate of 3×10-3s-1 and symmetrical triangular waveform were employed for all tests. It is found that the cyclic stress response of the alloy varied with the precipitate sizes and strain amplitudes. The materials in all conditions cyclically handen at first and the higher the strain amplitude, the greater the amount of hardening. The low cyclic flow stress is the highest in the peakaged condition. TEM and SEM observations demonstrated that cyclic stress-strain behavior and fracture mode of Al-Li alloy are closely related to an increase in the dislocation density and interaction between the precipitates and dislocations, sizes of δ particles and pricipitate free zone (PFZ) at grain boundaries.展开更多

Apatites are selected from fracture clay and fracture\|cliff rock in the fracture belts and examined with the fission track dating method. Our study shows that the Xiannushan and Jiuwanxi fracture belts were tectonically active at 0.60±0.04Ma and 0.29±0.04Ma ago, respectively. Their ages are close to those obtained by the U\|series method.展开更多

Design and Methods: The study was conducted in Gazio?lu Nursing Home, located in the city center of Kayseri, on 136 subjects ≥65 in the year 2008-2009. Data were collected using the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS), Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and the World Health Organization Quality of Life-OLD (WHOQOL- OLD) Module. In the statistical analysis mean ± standard deviation, student’s t-test, ANOVA and Spearman correlation analysis were used. Re- sults: The mean total score of quality of life was 43.45 ± 10.30. Of the residents 47.0% had a poor quality of life. Autonomy had the lowest (35.70 ± 19.96) and intimacy had the highest (48.75 ± 17.96) subdomain scores. Fatigue significantly decreased the total and autonomy, social par- ticipation and death and dying subdomain scores. Anemia had a significant adverse effect on intimacy, depression on autonomy and intimacy and sleep disorder on death and dying. There were negative correlations between fatigue with past-present-future activities and social participation, depression with social participation, intimacy, death and dying and glucose levels with social participation and intimacy. Implications: About half of the subjects had a poor quality of life. Fatigue was the sole factor to negatively affect the total score in WHOQOL-OLD. Depression, anemia and sleep disorder adversely affected the autonomy, social participation, intimacy, death and dying subdomain scores but not in all.展开更多
