Mechanical control of electronic and magnetic properties 2D Van-der-Waals heterostructures gives new possibilities for further development spintronics information-related technologies. Using the density functional theory, we investigate structural, silicene monolayer with substituted Chromium atoms under a small biaxial strain (−6%<ε<8%). Our results indicate that Cr-doped nanosheets without ha...

The researchers reviewed 1,523 consecutive breast MRI exams performed from Jan. 1, 2003, to June 30, 2005, to identify all lesions initially detected on MRI and assessed as BI-RADS 4 or 5 for which the patient underwent subsequent imaging-guided needle or excisional biopsy. They recorded BI-RADS lesion features for each case and the risk of malignancy was assessed using generalized estimating e...

Introduction: Theranostic nanoparticles, which integrate both diagnostic and therapeutic capabilities into one nanoagent, has great promise to ablate more effective tumoral tissue by optimizing and real-time monitoring treatment interventions, as well as monitoring therapeutic response to corresponding effect. Multifunctional theranostic nanoagent based on graphene quantum dots...

Heterostructural Nanolattice Capacitors In article number 2208409, Julia R. Greer, Bong-Joong Kim, and co-workers demonstrate density-variant nanolattices that exhibit bi-phase deformation by which the lower-density region protects higher-density region. This improves electrical breakdown strength ?3.3 fold of uniform-density nanolattice, while maintaining ultralow-k ?1.2 with complete electric...

The goal of this paper is to evaluate the strain-based partitioning method (SBM), an analytical based on beam analysis, for mixed-mode fracture characterization asymmetric cracks. energy calculated at crack tip bending (MMB) test with geometry and material parameters. obtained using SBM benchmarked against widely applied Williams’ (WM) numerical results from finite element models virtual closur...

background: heat stress is a common and usual problem in industries. several indices, including wet bulb globe temperature (wbgt), are used to evaluate heat stress. however, wbgt index has limitations such as high cost and response time. it is not thus suitable as a screening tool. heat strain scoring index (hssi) is also an observational-judgmental technique that has been developed for primary...

Current-Voltage (I-V), Capacitance-Voltage (C-V), Deep Level Transient Spectroscopy (DLTS), Laplace DLTS, Photoluminescence (PL) and Micro-Raman techniques have been employed to investigate the effect of orientation substrates on structural, electrically optically active defects in dilute GaAs1?xBix epilayers structures having a Bi composition x = ~5.4%, grown by Molecular Beam Epitaxy (MBE) (1...
