APPROACHES TO MODELLING THE SHAPE OF NANOCRYSTALS

Approaches to modelling the shape of nanocrystals

Abstract Unlike in the bulk, at the nanoscale shape dictates properties.The imperative to understand and predict nanocrystal shape led to the development, over several decades, of a large number of mathematical models and, later, their software implementations.In this review, the various mathematical approaches used to model crystal shapes are firs

Assessment of listing and categorisation of animal diseases within the framework of the Animal Health Law (Regulation (EU) No 2016/429): Japanese encephalitis (JE)

Abstract Japanese encephalitis (JE) has been assessed according to the criteria of the Animal Health Law (AHL), in particular criteria of Article 7 on disease profile and impacts, Article 5 on the eligibility of Japanese encephalitis to be listed, Article 9 for the categorisation of Japanese encephalitis according to disease prevention and control

Differential Patterns of Microbiota Recovery in Symbiotic and Aposymbiotic Corals following Antibiotic Disturbance

ABSTRACT Microbial relationships are critical to coral health, and changes in microbiomes are often exhibited following environmental disturbance.However, the dynamics of coral-microbial composition and external factors that govern coral microbiome assembly and response to disturbance remain largely uncharacterized.Here, we investigated how antibio

Hyper-active gap filling

Much work has demonstrated that speakers of verb-final languages are able to construct rich syntactic representations in advance of verb information.This may reflect general architectural properties of the language processor, or it may only reflect a language-specific adaptation to the demands of verb-finality.The present study addresses this issue

Influence of co-blending fly ash and ceramic waste powder on the performance and microstructure of cementitious substrates under sulfate dry-wet cycle attack.

This study examines the properties of cement-based materials incorporating composite additions of fly ash and ceramic waste powder (CWP) as supplementary cementitious materials (SCM).The resistance of the materials to sulfate erosion under dry-wet cycling conditions was investigated through experimental testing.A Box-Behnken Design was employed to
