The Norgett-Robinson-Torrens displacements per atom function is commonly used to estimate the amount of atomic displacement produced by incident energetic particles. At low energy, this defined as a step presenting single threshold damage energy. But materials have different crystallographic orientation. Molecular dynamic simulations show that continuously varying energy probability best suited...

background: approximately 10-14% of the clinically acknowledged pregnancies end with spontaneous abortion at caucasian population. possible immunologic causes of recurrent miscarriages have been extensively researched. the change in the cytokines balance synthesis in favor of those synthesized by th2 cells with an increase of interleukin 6 (il6) and interleukin10 (il10) secretion is considered ...
