The stability of “Ce2O3” nanodots in ambient conditions: a study using block copolymer templated structures

The stability of reduced cerium oxide in ambient conditions is clearly demonstrated in this paper. Well-defined, crystalline, cerium oxide nanodots (predominantly Ce4+ or Ce3+ material could be selectively prepared) were defined at silicon substrate surfaces by a method of block copolymer templating. Here, selective addition of the cerium ion into one block via solvent inclusion and subsequent UV/ozone processing resulted in the formation of well-separated, size mono-dispersed, oxide nanodots having a hexagonal arrangement mimicking that of the polymer nanopattern. The size of the dots could be varied in a facile manner by controlling the metal ion content. Synthesis and processing conditions could be varied to create nanodots which have a Ce2O3 type composition. The stability of the sesquioxide type structure under processing (synthesis) conditions and calcination was explored. Surprisingly, the sesquioxide type structure appears to be reasonably stable in ambient conditions with little evidence for extensive oxidation until heating to temperatures above ambient. Room temperature fluorescence is supposed to originate from a distribution of surface or defect states and depends on preparation conditions

Misdiagnosis, Mistreatment, and Harm - When Medical Care Ignores Social Forces.

The Case Studies in Social Medicine demonstrate that when physicians use only biologic or individual behavioral interventions to treat diseases that stem from or are exacerbated by social factors, we risk harming the patients we seek to serve

Organic functionalization of germanium nanowires using arenediazonium salts

The formation of organic functionalization layers on germanium (Ge) nanowires was investigated using a new synthetic protocol employing arenediazonium salts. Oxide-free, H-terminated Ge nanowires were immersed in diazonium salt/acetonitrile solutions and the molecular interface of the functionalized nanowires was analyzed by reflectance infrared spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The morphology of the modified nanowires was investigated by electron microscopy. Surface functionalization of the nanowires was found to be slow at room temperature, but proceeded efficiently with moderate heating (50 °C). The use of arenediazonium salts can result in the formation of aryl multilayers, however the thickness and uniformity of the organic layer was found to be strongly influenced by the nature of the substituents on the aromatic ring. Substituents attached to the 3-, 4-, and 5-ring positions hindered the formation of multilayers, while the presence of sterically bulky ring substituents affected the homogeneity of the organic layers. We successfully demonstrate that arenediazonium salts are very flexible precursors for nanowire functionalization, with the possibility to covalently attach a wide variety of aromatic ligands, offering the potential to alter the thickness of the resulting outer organic shell

Non--Newtonian viscosity of interacting Brownian particles: comparison of theory and data

A recent first-principles approach to the non-linear rheology of dense colloidal suspensions is evaluated and compared to simulation results of sheared systems close to their glass transitions. The predicted scenario of a universal transition of the structural dynamics between yielding of glasses and non-Newtonian (shear-thinning) fluid flow appears well obeyed, and calculations within simplified models rationalize the data over variations in shear rate and viscosity of up to 3 decades.Comment: 6 pages, 2 figures; J.

DETERMINING RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN KINEMATIC SEQUENCING AND BASEBALL PITCH VELOCITY USING MARKERLESS MOTION CAPTURE

The purpose of this study was to determine how the timings and magnitudes of peak pelvis rotational velocity, peak trunk rotational velocity, peak elbow extension velocity, and peak shoulder internal rotation velocity affect pitch velocity. Eighty pitchers (187.2 ± 8.2cm, 89.3 ± 13.0kg, 20.1 ± 3.3yrs) had a minimum of 3 fastballs recorded and video was processed using pitchAITM. Average pitch velocity was 38.1 ± 2.5 m/s. A multilinear regression generated a significant prediction for pitch velocity (R2 = 0.368 and p \u3c 0.01). Pitcher weight (β = 0.535, p \u3c 0.001), peak pelvis rotational velocity timing (β = -0.157, p = 0.001), peak elbow extension timing (β = 0.122, p = 0.006), and peak shoulder internal rotation timing (β = -0.113, p = 0.018), were significant contributors to the multilinear model. In conclusion, player weight and their kinematic sequence metrics from pitchAITM can be significant predictors of pitch velocity
