Abstract

Selenium is a crucial earth-abundant and non-toxic semiconductor with a wide range of applications across the semiconductor industries. Selenium has drawn attention from scientific communities for its wide range of applicability: from photovoltaics to imaging devices. Its usage as a photosensitive material largely involves the synthesis of the amorphous phase (a-Se) via various experimental techniques. However, the ground state crystalline phase of this material, known as the trigonal selenium (\textit{t}-Se), is not extensively studied for its optimum electronic and optical properties. In this work, we present density functional theory (DFT) based systematic studies on the ultra-thin $(10\overline{1}0)$ surface slabs of \textit{t}-Se. We report the surface energies, work function, electronic and optical properties as a function of number of layers for $(10\overline{1}0)$ surface slabs to access its suitability for applications as a photosensitive material.

Abstract

The clustering and drift properties of barium ions in xenon gas are explored theoretically, using density functional theory and computational ion mobility theory, with the goal of better understanding barium ion transport for neutrinoless double beta decay. We derive the equilibrium conformations, energies and entropies of molecular ions in the Ba$^{+}$-Xe and Ba$^{++}$-Xe systems, which yield a predictive model of cluster formation in high pressure gas. We calculate ion-neutral interaction potential curves for these species and use them to predict effective molecular ion mobilities. Our calculation consistently reproduces experimental data on effective mobility and molecular ion formation for the Ba$^+$ system, and predicts strong cluster formation in the Ba$^{++}$ system, dominated by stable [BaXe$_6$]$^{++}$,[BaXe$_7$]$^{++}$, [BaXe$_8$]$^{++}$ and [BaXe$_9$]$^{++}$ complexes in the range of interest. Some implications for barium tagging in gas-phase neutrinoless double beta decay experiments are discussed, and the first predictions of pressure-dependent mobility of the doubly charged Ba$^{++}$ species are presented., Comment: v2: Update to published version

Abstract

Oxygen molecule adsorptions on a Pu (100) surface have been studied in detail, using the generalized gradient approximation to density functional theory. Dissociative adsorption with a layer by layer alternate spin arrangement of the plutonium layer is found to be energetically more favorable compared to molecular adsorption. Hor2 approach on a bridge site without spin polarization was found to the highest chemisorbed site with energy of 8.787 eV among all the cases studied. The second highest chemisorption energy of 8.236 eV, is the spin-polarized Hor2 or Ver approach at center site. Inclusion of spin polarization affects the chemisorption processes significantly, non-spin-polarized chemisorption energies being typically higher than the spin-polarized energies. We also find that the 5f electrons to be more localized in spin-polarized cases compared to the non-spin-polarized counterparts. The ionic part of O-Pu bonding plays a significant role, while the Pu 5f-O 2p hybridization was found to be rather week. Also, adsorptions of oxygen push the top of 5f band deeper away from the Fermi level, indicating further bonding by the 5f orbitals might be less probable. Except for the interstitial sites, the work functions increase due to adsorptions of oxygen.

7. A Density Functional Study of O2 Adsorption on (100) Surface of gamma-Uranium

Abstract

We have studied the chemisorption processes of O2 on the (100) surface of uranium using generalized gradient approximation to density functional theory. Dissociative adsorptions of O2 are significantly favored compared to molecular adsorptions. We found interstitial adsorption of molecular oxygen to be less probable, as no bound states were found in this case. Upon oxygen adsorption, O 2p orbitals is found to hybridize with U 5f bands, and part of the U 5f electrons become more localized. Also there is a significant charge transfer from the first layer of the uranium surface to the oxygen atoms, which made the bonding partly ionic. For the most favored site the dissociative chemisorption energy is approximately 9.5 eV, which indicates a strong reaction of uranium surface with oxygen. Spin polarization does not have a considerable effect on the chemisorption process. For most of the sites and approaches, chemisorption configurations are almost same at both spin-polarized and non-spin-polarized cases. For the most favored chemisorption sites of oxygen on uranium, paramagnetic adsorption is slightly stronger, by 0.304 eV, than the magnetic adsorption.

Abstract

Hydrogen adsorption on delta-Pu (100) and (111) surfaces using the generalized gradient approximation of the density functional theory with Perdew and Wang functionals have been studied at both the spin-polarized level and the non-spin-polarized level. For the (100) surface at the non-spin-polarized level, we find that the center position of the (100) surface is the most favorable site with a chemisorption energy of 2.762 eV and an optimum distance of the hydrogen adatom to the Pu surface of 1.07 A. For the spin-polarized (100) surface, the center site is again the preferred site with a chemisorption energy of 3.467 eV and an optimum hydrogen distance of 1.13 A. For the non-spin-polarized (111) surface, the center position is also the preferred site, but with slightly lower chemisorption energy, namely 2.756 eV and a higher hydrogen distance, 1.40 A, compared to the (100) center site. The center site is also the preferred site for the spin-polarized (111) surface, with a chemisorption energy of 3.450 eV and a hydrogen distance of 1.42 A. Also, for the spin-polarized calculations, the over all net magnetic moments of the (111) surface changed significantly due to the hydrogen adsorption. The 5f orbitals are delocalized, especially as one approaches the Fermi level. However, the degree of localization decreases for spin-polarized calculations. The coordination numbers have a significant role in the chemical bonding process. Mulliken charge distribution analysis indicates that the interaction of Pu with H mainly takes place in the first layer and that the other two layers are only slightly affected. Work functions, in general, tend to increase due to the presence of a hydrogen adatom., Comment: The introduction is extended to include a short review of delta-Pu

Abstract

Oxygen adsorption on delta-Pu (100) and (111) surfaces have been studied at both non-spin-polarized and spin-polarized levels using the generalized gradient approximation of density functional theory (GGA-DFT)with Perdew and Wang functionals. The center position of the (100) surface is found to be the most favorable site with chemisorption energies of 7.386 eV and 7.080 eV at the two levels of theory. The distances of the oxygen adatom from the Pu surface are found to be 0.92A and 1.02A, respectively. For the (111) surface non-spin-polarized calculations, the center position is also the preferred site with a chemisorption energy of 7.070 eV and the distance of the adatom being 1.31A, but for spin-polarized calculations the bridge and the center sites are found to be basically degenerate, the difference in chemisorption energies being only 0.021 eV. In general, due to the adsorption of oxygen, plutonium 5f orbitals are pushed further below the Fermi energy, compared to the bare plutonium layers. The work function, in general, increases due to oxygen adsorption on plutonium surfaces., Comment: Spin-polarization is considered, and the paper is revised accordingly

Abstract

A class of highly symmetric silicon carbide fullerene-like cage nanoclusters with carbon atoms inside the Si_20 cage and with high stability are presented. The Generalized Gradient Approximation of Density Functional Theory (GGA-DFT) is used to study the electronic and geometric structure properties of these structures and full geometry optimizations are performed with an all electron 6-311G** basis set. The stability of the clusters is found to depend on the geometrical arrangements of the carbon atoms inside the clusters and the partly ionic nature of the bonding. Possibilities of extending these structures into a larger class of nanostructures are discussed.

Abstract

A class of silicon carbide cage clusters with two carbon atoms inside the silicon cage and with high stabilities are presented. The theoretical formalism used is Hartree-Fock theory followed by second order many body perturbation theory to account for correlation effects and geometry optimizations at the second order perturbation theory level are performed without any symmetry constraints. The smallest "cage" is found to be a silicon cube with the carbon dimer inside the cube. Based on the simultaneous criteria of high binding energy, high vertical ionization potential, high homo-lumo gap, and low electron affinity, Si_14C_2 with a close fullerene like structure, is predicted to be a particularly stable cluster both al all-electron and at pseudopotential level of calculations. The C-C bond lengths and the HOMO-LUMO gaps of the clusters are both found to oscillate with the cluster size.

Abstract

Background: Diabetes is one of the leading causes of death and disability worldwide, and affects people regardless of country, age group, or sex. Using the most recent evidentiary and analytical framework from the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GBD), we produced location-specific, age-specific, and sex-specific estimates of diabetes prevalence and burden from 1990 to 2021, the proportion of type 1 and type 2 diabetes in 2021, the proportion of the type 2 diabetes burden attributable to selected risk factors, and projections of diabetes prevalence through 2050. Methods: Estimates of diabetes prevalence and burden were computed in 204 countries and territories, across 25 age groups, for males and females separately and combined; these estimates comprised lost years of healthy life, measured in disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs; defined as the sum of years of life lost [YLLs] and years lived with disability [YLDs]). We used the Cause of Death Ensemble model (CODEm) approach to estimate deaths due to diabetes, incorporating 25 666 location-years of data from vital registration and verbal autopsy reports in separate total (including both type 1 and type 2 diabetes) and type-specific models. Other forms of diabetes, including gestational and monogenic diabetes, were not explicitly modelled. Total and type 1 diabetes prevalence was estimated by use of a Bayesian meta-regression modelling tool, DisMod-MR 2.1, to analyse 1527 location-years of data from the scientific literature, survey microdata, and insurance claims; type 2 diabetes estimates were computed by subtracting type 1 diabetes from total estimates. Mortality and prevalence estimates, along with standard life expectancy and disability weights, were used to calculate YLLs, YLDs, and DALYs. When appropriate, we extrapolated estimates to a hypothetical population with a standardised age structure to allow comparison in populations with different age structures. We used the comparativ

Abstract

The demand for chemical fertilizers in Bangladesh is increasing by the day. Seaweed extracts are high in a variety of bioactive substances that can be used as a biostimulant as an alternative to agricultural plants. To assess the impact of foliar spraying of red seaweed (Gracilaria tenuistipitata var. liui) extracts at 5, 10, 15, 20 and 25% concentrationsin comparison to the control condition (water spray only) and soil application of recommended doses of fertilizer (RDF) as basal on growth, chlorophyll and yield of mungbean variety BU mug5, a pot experiment was conducted at the Department of Agronomy, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman Agricultural University (BSMRAU), Gazipur, Bangladesh during Kharif-1 season (March to May 2021). Seven (7) treatments: T1 - Control (foliar spray using water), T2 - Recommended doses of fertilizers (RDF) as basal, T3 - Foliar spray of 5% seaweed extracts, T4 - Foliar spray of 10% seaweed extracts, T5 - Foliar spray of 15% seaweed extracts, T6 - Foliar spray of 20% seaweed extracts and T7 - Foliar spray of 25% seaweed extracts were imposed following completely randomized design (CRD) with three replications. The results revealed that seaweed liquid fertilizer at 20% concentration increased leaf area, total dry matter and chlorophyll (SPAD value) by 25.00, 40.21 and 9.11% over the control and 15.42, 8.27 and 2.08% compared to RDF, respectively. Seed yield increased by 93.14% when compared to a control with 20% seaweed foliar spray, and by 9.04%, when compared to RDF. Foliar application of 20% seaweed liquid fertilizer performed best among the treatments in terms of mungbean growth and yield, according to findings of the experiment. The results of this study suggest that red seaweed extracts from Gracilaria tenuistipitata var. liui may be used as a fertilizer to reduce the chemical fertilizer to boost mungbean yield.

Abstract

Empyema thoracis is a well-known condition that is characterised by a collection of pus in the pleural space and has historically been related to high mortality rate. The cause of high mortality rate is unknown, but it may have higer risk in pneumonia cases or immunocompromised patients. This case study presented a 50-year-old man with no chronic co-morbidities, admitted with the diagnosis of sepsis secondary to community-acquired pneumonia, which was covered with ceftriaxone. Subsequently, he developed massive spontaneous right lung empyema, necessitating an urgent thoracotomy and comprehensive right decortication. Broad-spectrum antibiotics, meropenem, was then given to him. Streptococcus constellatus was discovered in the pleural fluid's culture and sensitivity test. On his tenth day of stay, the patient had a right thoracotomy and decortication. The patient was extubated on day two post-operative and recovered on subsequent days. He was then discharged at 30 days post-operatively. We reported a case of adult spontaneous empyema thoracis from a patient with few risk factors: he was not immunocompromised, had no chronic illnesses and had no interaction with tuberculosis patients.

Abstract

There has been enormous recent interest in heterostructures of two-dimensional van der Waals materials. Integrating materials with different quantum ground states in vertical heterostructures is predicted to lead to novel electronic properties that are not found in the constituent layers. Here, we present direct synthesis of a superconductor-magnet hybrid heterostructure by combining superconducting niobium diselenide (NbSe₂) with the monolayer vanadium diselenide (VSe₂). Molecular-beam epitaxy growth in ultra-high vacuum yields clean and atomically sharp interfaces. Combining different characterization techniques and density-functional theory calculations, we investigate the electronic and magnetic properties of VSe₂ on NbSe₂. Low temperature scanning tunneling microscopy measurements show an absence of the typical charge density wave on VSe₂ and demonstrate a reduction of the superconducting gap of NbSe₂ on the VSe₂ layer. This suggests magnetization of the VSe₂ sheet, at least on the local scale. Our work demonstrates superconducting-magnetic hybrid materials with potential applications in future electronics devices.

Abstract

Livestock is a vital component of the complex farming system in Bangladesh. The current study focuses on the contribution of livestock farming in the livelihood of the farmers as well as the realization of the challenges in livestock farming as perceived by the farmers. A mixedmethod research design was used to collect data from 100 livestock farmers of Kamarkhanda Upazila (sub-district) under Sirajganj district. According to the findings of the study, livestock farming has significant contributions in improving the status of livelihood tatus of farming households. It is evident from the findings that majority of the respondents (69%), faced medium level of challenges in livestock farming compared to high level of challenges faced by 28% respondents of the study area. The socio-demographic characteristics of the respondents namely farm size, annual income, training received, subsidy received, and extension media contact seem to have significant contributions with the challenges faced by the farmers in livestock farming. As the livestock sector of Bangladesh has great potential to flourish provided the challenges faced by the farmers are given due attention. Implementation of farmers' friendly livestock policy and the collaborative efforts of public and private sectors are required to boost up livestock productivity in Bangladesh. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Objective: The study was conducted to evaluate the relation between insulin-like growth factor-1 and osteocalcin and markers of bone modulation (osteoprotegerin; OPG, receptor activator nuclear kappa B; RANK and RANK ligand; RANKL) in postmenopausal Type 2 diabetic women with and without osteoporosis. Methods: The study was conducted on 90 female divided into three groups (30 each). Group I included healthy postmenopausal women as a control, Group II included diabetic postmenopausal women without osteoporosis Group III included diabetic postmenopausal women with osteoporosis. Fasting blood samples were obtained for the determination of blood glucose, HbA1c, total and ionized calcium, OPG, RANK and RANKL. Also the levels of IGF-1 and osteocalcin were assessed. Results: In postmenopausal Type 2 diabetic women, the osteoporosis resulted in derangement in OPG/sRANKL system. The serum level of OPG was elevated while sRANKL declines in osteoporotic postmenopausal Type 2 diabetic women. IGF-1 level decreased in diabetic postmenopausal women but those women with osteoporosis showed a great decline by about 60%. IGF-1 level in osteoporotic diabetic postmenopausal women was correlated with BMD and most bone turnover markers (OPG, sRANKL, OPG/sRANKL). Osteocalcin declined significantly only in those women with osteoporosis not without osteoporosis. Conclusions: The circulating levels of OPG and sRANKL were not useful markers for bone status in postmenopausal women while the circulating levels of IGF-1 and osteocalcin might give useful information about bone status in postmenopausal diabetic women.

Abstract

This study reports on the solution combustion synthesis of two different ternary niobium oxides, namely, p-CuNb2O6and n-ZnNb2O6. Such ternary oxides are attractive candidates in the “Holy Grail” search for efficient and stable semiconductors for solar energy conversion and environmental remediation. We demonstrate how this time- and energy-efficient method is capable of synthesizing high surface area and crystalline nanoparticles of the above compounds with enhanced optoelectronic properties. The synthesized crystalline samples were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (with Rietveld refinement for phase purity), diffuse reflectance UV–visible and Raman spectroscopy, electron microscopy, and photoelectrochemical (PEC) techniques. The band structure of these oxides was probed by linear sweep voltammetry and by measuring their photoaction spectra (internal photon to electron conversion efficiency vs wavelength). The obtained bandgap energy values (1.9 and 3.2 eV for the Cu- and Zn-containing compounds, respectively) were in reasonable agreement with those obtained via electronic structure calculations (2.07 and 3.53 eV). Finally, p-CuNb2O6showed promising activity for the PEC reduction of CO2, while n-ZnNb2O6was active for sulfite and water photooxidation.
