Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death among international travellers. Practitioner knowledge of the effects of CVD on international travel is imperative in order to promote a healthy travel experience. This review aimed to explore the available literature on this topic. The PubMed database was accessed to source relevant literature using combinations of relevant keywords as...

For the Ti-Al-0-C-system it is shown that it is possible to produce good quality deposits of both single-phase TiAlOC or A1203-layers and heterogeneous layers of TiAlOC and A1203 under normal pressure-CVD-conditions using a reaction gas mixture of TiC14, AlC13, H2 and a CO/C02-mixture.

Two-dimensional (2D) semiconducting heterojunction chemical sensors are in high demand because of their enhanced response, stability, and selectivity. However, fine-tuning heterojunctions using vapor deposition growth still needs further research. Our present study focuses on the ambient pressure (CVD) synthesis hexagonal tungsten sulfide-tungsten selenide (WS2–WSe2) p–p (as a 2D–2D arrangement...

The metal-free synthesis of graphene films on Si substrates, the most common commercial semiconductors, is paramount significance for application semiconductors and in field electronics. However, since current research mainly uses C-H gas as carbon source chemical vapor deposition (CVD), does not have a catalytic effect decomposition adsorption gas, it challenging to prepare high-quality surfac...

Graphene films were produced by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) of pyridine on copper substrates. Pyridine-CVD is expected to lead to doped graphene by the insertion of nitrogen atoms in the growing sp(2) carbon lattice, possibly improving the properties of graphene as a transparent conductive film. We here report on the influence that the CVD parameters (i.e., temperature and gas flow) have on...

We report the growth of graphene at a low temperature using the cold wall chemical vapor deposition technique (CWCVD). Few layered (~6-8 layers) graphene were grown on nickel-coated silicon with acetylene as the precursor gas. The advantage of the combination of the acetylene (as a carbon feedstock) and the nickel catalyst was the lowering of the graphene growth temperature. Nickel coated silic...
