Semiconductor nanocrystals (NCs), commonly known as quantum dots (QDs), have received great attention over the last two decades due to their, unique size and shapedependent optoelectronic properties, as well as their flexible surface chemistry. While efforts to produce colloidal NCs date back to the pioneering work of Rossetti et al at Bell Labs1 and Ekimov et al at the Vavilov State Optical In...

BACKGROUND In determining whether clinical decision support (CDS) should be interruptive or non-interruptive, CDS designers need more guidance to balance the potential for interruptive CDS to overburden clinicians and the potential for non-interruptive CDS to be overlooked by clinicians. OBJECTIVE (1)To compare performance achieved by clinicians using interruptive CDS versus using similar, no...

The high-level contribution of this paper is a simulation-based comparison of two contrasting categories (minimum node size vs. stability) of connected dominating sets for mobile ad hoc networks. We pick the maximum density-based CDS (MaxD-CDS) and Node ID-based CDS (ID-CDS) to be representatives of the minimum node size-based CDS algorithms; the minimum velocity-based CDS (MinV-CDS) and the no...

Abstract: CdS is one of the best semiconductor photocatalysts. However, photocorrosion will occur when takes part in photocatalytic system. The general solution to add sacrificial reagents inhibit this phenomenon. Even so, it can not maintain stability CdS. In order improve and efficiency pure water, Ga-P electron exchange membrane was designed modify its surface. Under radiation visible light,...

There are tremendous efforts to realize the idea of employing photoelectrochemical (PEC) technology for generating chemical energy from solar energy. The most important feature this is coordinate energetics an electrochemical reaction with spectrum. So, photoelectrochemistry a semiconducting material plays vital role in arena. Exploring efficient and stable semiconductor such purpose essential ...

X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) is an essential component of research into use of organometallic precursors as a route to low temperature (<500 “C) synthesis of bulk compound semiconductors. This paper illustrates the use of XRD to study solid solution behavior in the systems SnS-SnSe and PbS-CdS. XRD characterization demonstrated that phase pure intermediate members of the Sn(S,Se) solid soluti...
