Lithium and copper are distributed equally between cells and serum. However, red cells contain more magnesium, zinc, and iron than does serum. To assure analytical accuracy, hemolysis should be avoided. Also, cells and sera must be separated shortly after sample collection. Since aqueous solutions leach magnesium from glass containers, materials and reagents meant for magnesium analysis should ...

The present study discuss controlling mechanisms of air-blast atomization and the prospect of external triggering for enhancing atomization quality of a planar liquid sheet. The investigation builds on previous experimental evidence provided by flow visualization of 2-D liquid sheets formed between two co-flowing air streams at variable velocities, and is particularly aimed to improve our under...

In the assessment of density functional approximations for the exchangecorrelation energy, great weight is usually given to the accuracy of molecular atomization energies, or the enthalpies of formation constructed from calculated atomization energies. Here we show that a recent non-empirical functional, the meta-generalized gradient approximation of Tao, Perdew, Staroverov, and Scuseria, achie...

Dynamic mesh atomizers have been widely used in various fields because of their compact structure, low energy consumption, and production costs. The finite element method is an important technique to analyze the factors affecting atomization performance dynamic atomizers. However, at present, there a lack decisive solutions basic problems boundary setting terms simulation vibration displacement...

A quantum Monte Carlo study of the atomization energies for the G2 set of molecules is presented. Basis size dependence of diffusion Monte Carlo atomization energies is studied with a single determinant Slater-Jastrow trial wavefunction formed from Hartree-Fock orbitals. With the largest basis set, the mean absolute deviation from experimental atomization energies for the G2 set is 3.0 kcal/mol...
