Both the shape and the parameters characterizing magnetization hysteresis loops depend strongly on the amount of iron oxide and changes in the preparation method.By end of October 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic has taken a tragic toll of 1150 000 lives and this number is expected to increase. Despite the pandemic is raging in most parts of the world, in a few countries COVID-19 epidemics subsided due to successful implementations of intervention measures. A unifying perspective of the beginnings, middle stages, and endings of such completed COVID-19 epidemics is developed based on the order parameter and eigenvalue concepts of nonlinear physics, in general, and synergetics, in particular. To this end, a standard susceptible-exposed-infected-recovered (SEIR) epidemiological model is used. click here It is shown that COVID-19 epidemic outbreaks follow a suitably defined SEIR order parameter. Intervention measures switch the eigenvalue of the order parameter from a positive to a negative value, and in doing so, stabilize the COVID-19 disease-free state. The subsiding of COVID-19 epidemics eventually follows the remnant of the order parameter of the infection dynamical system. These considerations are illustrated for the COVID-19 epidemic in Thailand from January to May 2020. The decay of effective contact rates throughout the three epidemic stages is demonstrated. Evidence for the sign-switching of the dominant eigenvalue is given and the order parameter and its stage-3 remnant are identified. The presumed impacts of interventions measures implemented in Thailand are discussed in this context.The ability to control, manipulate, and read out nanomechanical resonators is of great significance for many applications. In this work, we start by constructing a nonlinear dynamic model that is deduced from the fundamental beam-photon-electron interaction and energy band theories, with the aim of describing a complicated cavity-free optomechanical coupling process. Based on the model established, we first reveal the manipulation of a resonator's response, including softening and hardening effects due to laser injection. By driving the laser parametrically, we comprehensively investigate the control of the resonator's dynamics, in particular, in the nonlinear regime. It is found that both the laser power and frequency can be used to directly manipulate the NEMS resonator's dynamics, e.g., by amplitude amplification, periodicity changes, and periodic-chaotic state conversion. We then provide bifurcation diagrams, which evidence a deterministic evolution of dynamics. Finally, we perform a special study of the control of chaotic states of the nanomechanical resonator using laser parametric driving. The maximal Lyapunov exponents together with time series calculation show that the chaotic states can be controlled at a few specific frequency points of the injecting laser. This work not only provides guidance for using lasers to control nanoscale resonators, but also sheds light on the exploration of novel applications based on nonlinear NEMS resonators.The role of silver localized surface plasmons (LSPs) on the luminescence of a Si(111)-(7 × 7) surface has been investigated by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) with a silver tip at 77 K. On a bare Si(111)-(7 × 7) surface, a characteristic peak at 1.85 eV dominates the STM-induced luminescence spectrum, although the luminescence intensity is extremely weak. Once Ag atoms are deposited onto the Si surface to form islands with a few atomic layers, it is found that the intensity of the characteristic peak from the Si surface underneath the Ag islands is significantly enhanced by about one order. In addition to the luminescence from the Si surface, light emission originating from the irradiation decay of the Ag plasmons is also detected. Such great enhancement of the luminescence from the Si surface is attributed to the strong coupling between the surface states of the Si and the LSPs of the Ag islands.Controlled graphene growth on a substrate without the use of catalysts is of great importance for industrial applications. Here, we report thickness-controlled graphene growth directly on a silicon substrate placed in a low-density microwave plasma environment using a laser. Graphene is relatively easy to grow in high-density plasma; however, low-density plasma lacks the sufficient energy and environment required for graphene synthesis. This study reports that laser irradiation on silicon samples in a low-density plasma region nucleates graphene, and growth is controlled with laser exposure time and power. A graphene-silicon junction is thus formed and shows an enhanced (1.7 mA) short-circuit current as compared to one grown in high-density plasma (50μA) without the laser effects. Synthesized graphene is characterized by Raman spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy to investigate surface morphology and Hall effect measurements for electronic properties. The key aspect of this report is the use of a laser to grow graphene directly on the silicon substrate by ensuring that the bulk resistance of the silicon is unaffected by ion bombardment. Additionally, it is observed that graphene grain size varies in proportion to laser power. This report can help in the growth of large-area graphene directly on silicon or other substrates at reduced substrate temperatures with advanced electronic properties for industrial applications.
Multiple Sclerosis (MS), occupies the first row among the diseases which leads to loss of neurological ability without depending on a trauma in the adults. Reflexology is one of complementary therapies based on activating a body's power to recover itself by special hand techniques applied to feet and hands. Positive changes in spasticity, pain, fatigue, depression, cortisol levels, anxiety, and blood pressure levels have been observed in MS patients after reflexology.
This study was conducted to determine the effect of reflexology on pain, fatigue and quality of life in MS patients.
The study was conducted experimentally by taking pretest and repeated measurements on reflexology and control groups determined by simple randomization.
The study took place in the neurology clinics at two university hospitals in Turkey.
Potential participants were 685 patients at the clinics who had been diagnosed with MS 6 months at least prior to the study. Of that group, 66 patients were included in the study, 33 in the intervention group and 33 in the control group.
