For reducing both extreme ultraviolet attosecond pulses energy loss in the focusing reflection process and measurement error caused by pulse focusing aberration, as well as improving the operability of pulse spectroscopy monitoring, a combined focusing and flat-field spectrometer analysis system for attosecond pulse is proposed and designed through step-by-step performance optimization. The foc...

The dynamics and energy conversion and redistribution pathways in collisions of nanocrystals with bare solid surfaces and with adsorbed liquid films are investigated with molecular dynamics simulations. While impact of an ordered Cu14, icosahedral cluster on a bare C u ( l l 1 ) surface at velocities larger than thermal leads to various outcomes including implantation, indentation, disordering,...

Intracompartmental pressures of 66 patients with 67 tibial fractures treated by intramedullary nailing were monitored. There was no difference in the pressures recorded between the different Tscherne fracture types, between open and closed fractures, between low energy and high energy injuries or between fractures dealt with early and those not treated until more than 24 hours after injury. The...

The dissociative adsorption of N2 on W(110) is studied using classical dynamics on a six-dimensional potential energy surface obtained from density functional theory calculations. Two distinct channels are identified in the dissociation process: a direct one and an indirect one. It is shown that the direct channel is inhibited for low energy molecules (Ei < 400 meV) and low incidence angles. Th...

Fuzzy incidence graphs can be used as models for nondeterministic interconnection networks having extra node-edgerelationships. For example, ramps in a highway system may be modeled as a fuzzy incidence graph so that unexpectedflow between cities and highways can be effectively studied and controlled. Like node and edge connectivity in graphs,node connectivity and arc connectivity in fuzzy inci...

rotavirus is a common infection causing 450,000 deaths annually primarily in children 5 years and below. despite the high burden of disease, little is known about the epidemiology of rotavirus in libya. the aim of this study was to estimate the rotavirus disease burden among libyan children.a cross-sectional study was carried out prospectively among children 5 years old and below between august...

background: acute upper gi bleeding (ugib) is a common medical emergency situation. in the past years, important changes have taken place that might have influenced the incidence, etiology, and outcome for patients with acute ugib. the aim of this study was to determine current time trends in the incidence, management, and prognosis of patients with ugib in 14 years period in a region in center...
