by employing the theoretical method based on tight-binding, we study electronic band structure of single-wall carbon nanotube (cnt) superlattices, which the system is the made of the junction between the zigzag and armchair carbon nanotubes. exactly at the place of connection, it is appeared the pentagon–heptagon pairs as topological defect in carbon hexagonal network. the calculations are base...

background: there is some evidence indicating improvement in myocardial performance after atrial septal defect closure, either device closure or surgical, but ventricular dyssynchrony has not been evaluated before and after surgical closure. the aim of this study was to evaluate ventricular mechanical dyssynchrony in patients with atrial septal defect before and after surgical closure. methods:...

In the fabrication and processing of silicene monolayers, structural defects are almost inevitable. Using ab initio calculations, we systemically investigated the structures, formation energies, migration behaviors and electronic/magnetic properties of typical point defects in silicene, including the Stone-Wales (SW) defect, single and double vacancies (SVs and DVs), and adatoms. We found that ...

a one-month-old male terrier dog was referred in shock status with a history of anorexia, tachypnea, abdominal distention and progressive weight loss. auscultation of right side of the lungs found enhanced respiratory noises. the thorough auscultation of the opposite side of the chest revealed the presence of typical intestinal sounds. cardiac auscultation revealed muffled heart sounds and a di...

venturi flumes are measurement structures commonly used in water systems to measure the flow discharge. some of them are not well installed or present some geometrical defects. the objective of this study is to investigate the hydraulic influence of a number of typical wrong installations and geometrical defects of long-throated venturi flumes: significant positive or adverse slopes, humps and ...
