The effect of written emotional disclosure on health behaviors and loneliness among family caregivers of cancer patients

Background & Aim: Emotional disclosure has been associated with improvements in psychological well-being, immune function, and physical health. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of written emotional disclosure on health behaviors and ...

Habilidades de la enfermera de enlace para gestionar el alta del paciente

Objetivo: determinar las habilidades de la enfermera de enlace para la continuidad de los cuidados en el alta hospitalaria. Materiales y métodos: estudio cualitativo, descriptivo, método de estudio de casos múltiples, fundamentado por la te...

Injectable mesoporous bioactive glass/sodium alginate hydrogel loaded with melatonin for intervertebral disc regeneration

Intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) is a major contributing factor to both lower back and neck pain. As IDD progresses, the intervertebral disc (IVD) loses its ability to maintain its disc height when subjected to axial loading. This fai...

Masterbatch-enabled acceleration of polyolefin biodegradation under open air terrestrial environmental conditions

Abstract Polyolefins, commonly used in packaging and single-use products, are notoriously persistent in the environment, contributing significantly to environmental pollution. In scientific literature to date, polyolefins have not been repo...

The structural diversity of ibuprofen sustained-release pellets on the same goal of bioequivalence consistency

The consistency evaluation, which is largely unexplored is crucial in regulating the quality and efficacy of generic drugs. In this report, after generic ibuprofen (IBU) sustained-release pellets were developed and validated as bioequivalen...

Corrosion Behavior for Sealing Polymer Materials under Simulated Condition for High-Pressure Proton Exchange Membrane Water Electrolysis

Sealing is a core factor for the safe operation of high-pressure proton exchange membrane electrolysis cells(PEMECs).To investigate the corrosion behavior of sealing polymer materials，two experimental methods were established: an accelerate...

Sustainable re-use of waste glass, cement and lime treated dredged material as pavement material

The amount of waste materials such as dredged materials (DM) and waste glass (WG) have been growing exponentially since the middle of the 20th century. The most important problem created by them is the lack of space to be used for storage b...

Preparation and adsorption application of PLA/GO/PDA nanofiber membrane

In this study, polylactic acid/graphene oxide/Dopamine (PLA/GO/DA) porous nanofiber membrane was prepared by electrospinning. L _16 (4 ^3 ) orthogonal experiment was designed to investigate the effects of reaction temperature, reaction time...

The mining of materials with similar electronic properties from the Crystallographic Open Database (COD)

The finding of a material with the precise properties needed to solve a specific issue is the first topic that needs unraveling when an application is projected. One approach to find a material with a specific property value is to study a d...

The application of supercritical CO2 in nuclear engineering: A review

Due to its advantages of low critical pressure and temperature, stability, non-toxic, abundant reserves and low cost, supercritical CO2 becomes one of the most common supercritical fluids in modern researches and industries. This paper pres...

Nuclear engineering workforce in the United States

Nuclear engineers commonly work in the disciplines of NE, nuclear security, and nuclear criticality safety, as defined later.NE has significant overlap with health physics and medical physics (described in Chapters 2 and 3, respectively) an...

Neutrons and Nuclear Engineering

Oak Ridge National Laboratory hosted two workshops in April 2007 relevant to nuclear engineering education. In the Neutron Stress, Texture, and Phase Transformation for Industry workshop [http://neutrons.ornl.gov/workshops/nst2/], several i...

Three-dimensional structure and formation mechanisms of Y2O3 hollow-precipitates in a Cu-based metallic glass

Recently, the high ductility of Cu-based bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) has been directly linked to the presence of Y2O3 precipitates, and surrounding crystallized areas. Nevertheless, the formation of the precipitates remains to be defined. ...

A Rechargeable Zinc–Copper Voltaic Battery Built from Cost-Effective Electrodes and Electrolytes

The zinc–copper (Zn-Cu) voltaic battery is the first battery made in human history, but the Cu2+ dissolution issue leads to the reaction’s irreversibility. To tackle this challenge, solid-state electrolytes, ion exchange membranes, and func...

A new insight on the diffusion growth mechanism of intermetallic compounds in Al-Er system

The diffusion growth of intermetallic compounds in Al-Er alloys are closely related to the properties of the alloys. The current work aims at explaining the dominance of Al3Er in the Al-Er alloys precipitation phases and the interface thin ...

Critical thickness of GaN film in controllable stress-induced self-separation for preparing native GaN substrates

Stress-induced self-separation is one of the most efficient process for preparing native GaN substrate. The control of GaN film thickness is the key point for GaN film separating from substrate completely. Considering the bowing of bilayer,...

Investigation of particle exhaust from EAST divertor

Particle control is one of the key issues for steady-state tokamak operation. The density decay time is used to evaluate the capability of the divertor to exhaust particle with all fueling turn off. Experiments of the EAST divertor's abilit...

Improving die tooling properties by spraying TiC-Ti-Al and TiB2-Ti-Al electro-explosive coatings

This article describes increasing wear resistance of 5CrNiMo die steel by more than 5 times. This effect is achieved by creating TiC-Ti-Al and TiB _2 -Ti-Al coatings on the surface of 5CrNiMo die steel. The microhardness of the formed coati...

High-temperature dielectric characterisation in the S-band using a solar simulator heated re-entrant microwave cavity and multiphysics modelling

This study presents a comprehensive system for the high-temperature microwave characterisation of dielectric materials. This system addresses the current scarcity of reliable dielectric data above 1000 °C, particularly under concentrated so...
