A cost-effective artificial humic substances (humic acid-modified biochar, HA-BCs) is fabricated by using conventional hydrothermal-assisted pyrolysis technique, and then is considered as a promising adsorbent material for removing mercury ions from aqueous solution. Artificial humic acid (A-HA), humic acid-modified biochar (HA-BCs) are analyzed…[Read more]

Electronic correlation energies from the random-phase approximation converge slowly with respect to the plane wave basis set size. We study the conditions under which a short-range local density functional can be used to account for the basis set incompleteness error. Furthermore, we propose a one-shot extrapolation scheme based on the Lindhard…[Read more]

Breast cancer is the most common malignant tumor in women. Its incidence is associated with obesity and metabolic syndrome (MetS), which are highly prevalent world widely and have been identified as poorer prognosis factors in breast cancer including triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), which has poorer response to chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and…[Read more]

BACKGROUND Mapped with the guiding principles of academic-practice partnerships (APPs) outlined by the American Association of Colleges of Nursing and the American Organization for Nursing Leadership, a joint nurse scientist role between a nursing school and acute care facility at a large academic health center was developed and characterized by a…[Read more]

sions. Published by BMJ.OBJECTIVES The quality of ambulatory care in Switzerland is widely unknown. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the recently proposed quality indicators (QIs) based on a nationwide healthcare claims database and determine their association with the risk of subsequent hospitalisation at patient-level.
