    Electronic signal for mechanical failure in two-dimensional <i>g</i>-SiC

    No full text
    It is non-trivial to identify mechanical failure using first-principles calculations as only long-wave phonons are used in these models due to size limitations. Here, we propose a new criterion to predict the mechanical failure by electronic bandgap closure in graphene-like two-dimensional silicon carbide (g-SiC) monolayer. The electronic bandgap decreases with strain and closes beyond the ultimate strain. This mechano-electronic coupling suggests that the onset of the zero bandgap and the correlation between electronic bandgap and ultimate strain could be used to predict the ideal mechanical failure of g-SiC monolayers

As the result it was established that medicinal herbal tea "Dig-da-shi-tan" had marked hepatoprotective effect at alcoholic liver injury providing the stabilization of membrane structures of hepatocytes and preventing the development of cytolysis and cholestasis syndromes

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    Full text link
    The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

    Variations on the Author

    Full text link
    “Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship

    Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis

    Full text link
    We provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis

    Element-dependent evolution of chemical short-range ordering tendency of NiCoFeCrMn under irradiation

    No full text
    The evolution of short-range order (SRO) structures under irradiation has a great impact on the mechanical properties of high-entropy alloys. In this study, the atomistic mechanism of the evolution of SRO during and after cascade collisions was investigated in NiCoFeCrMn by multiscale modeling using molecular dynamics and lattice kinetic Monte Carlo simulations. SRO structures could be destructed by cascade collisions in short time and recovered by atomic diffusion in a much longer time. The destruction rate depends on the primary knock-on atom energies in cascade collisions and shows a universal law with respect to the number of replacement-per-atom. The vacancy diffusion simulations reveal that the SRO recovery rates of different element pairs vary significantly due to the distinct diffusion rates. Consequently, the SRO state under irradiation differs from that in thermodynamic equilibrium due to the difference of destruction and recovery rate for each element pair. The evolution of SRO is a result of the competition between the destruction and recovery mechanisms and depends heavily on the irradiation conditions

    Influence of magnetic properties on elemental vacancy migration energy in Fe49.5Mn29.4Co10.1Cr10.1C0.9 high-entropy alloy

    Randomly mixing ferromagnetic (FM) and antiferromagnetic (AFM) elements in high-entropy alloys (HEAs) can create fluctuating local magnetic moments that influence the energetics of point defects. In this study, we employed first-principles calculations to investigate the influence of magnetic properties on vacancy migration energy in Fe49.5Mn29.4Co10.1Cr10.1C0.9, alongside equiatomic NiCoFeCrMn alloy. By examining structures with paramagnetism, ferromagnetism, and no spin polarization, our study reveals significant impacts of magnetic interactions on vacancy migration barriers, potentially altering the sequence of elemental migration energies if overlooked. In Fe49.5Mn29.4Co10.1Cr10.1C0.9, the order of vacancy migration barriers is Co > Fe > Mn > Cr across all magnetic states, suggesting the dominant roles of atomic properties and inherent chemical bonding. Conversely, the NiCoFeCrMn HEA exhibits a pronounced magnetic state-dependent elemental migration energy order, indicating that magnetic interactions significantly influence vacancy migration behavior in this alloy. In addition, while FM elements generally exhibit higher migration barriers, AFM elements display lower barriers in the investigated Cantor alloys, with notable variations between the studied compositions. These findings underscore the critical role of magnetism in accurate migration energy calculations, which is important for studying chemically biased diffusion and radiation-induced segregation in HEAs
