Mechanical Properties of Silicon Carbide Nanowires.

Cheng G, Chang TH, Qin Q, Huang H, Zhu Y.AbstractThis paper reports quantitative mechanical characterization of silicon carbide (SiC) nanowires (NWs) via in-situ tensile tests inside scanning electron microscopy using a microelectromechanical system. The NWs are synthesized using the vapor-liquid-solid process with growth direction of <111>. They consist of three types of structures, pure face-centered cubic (3C) structure, 3C structure with an inclined stacking fault (SF), and highly defective structure, in a periodic fashion along the NW length. The SiC NWs are found to deform linear elastically until brittle fracture. Their fracture origin is identified in the 3C structures with inclined SFs, rather than the highly defective structures. The fracture strength increases as the NW diameter decreases from 45 to 17 nm, approaching the theoretical strength of 3C SiC. The size effect on fracture strength of SiC NWs is attributed to the size-dependent defect density rather than the surface effect that is dominant for single crystalline NWs.

Working in the asylum: attendants to the insane.

Monk LA.Author information La Trobe University/University of Melbourne.AbstractContemporary representations of nineteenth-century attendants were often negative, finding fault with both their character and conduct. Historians were inclined initially to agree, concluding that attendants were 'recruited from the dregs of society' and that asylum work was 'an occupation of last resort.' Other scholars argue that such conclusions rely too much on contemporary depictions. Taking Victoria as a case study, this article explores who attendants were and why they chose to do asylum work. Many of the attendants employed in Victoria's asylums were ordinary working people, recruited for their skills and experience, and for whom attending held considerable attractions. For some, indeed, attending became their life's work and an occupation whose reputation they felt was worth defending.

[Claims for damages due to bile-duct injury following laparoscopic cholecystectomy: some legal remarks].

Gevers JK.Author information Academisch Medisch Centrum/Universiteit van Amsterdam, afd. Sociale Geneeskunde, sectie Gezondheidsrecht, Amsterdam. j.k.gevers@amc.uva.nlAbstractOf 278 patients who were referred to a tertiary centre because of a bile-duct injury incurred during a laparoscopic cholecystectomy, 19% had sued the doctor or hospital involved. This percentage is relatively low compared with data from the US, and also if compared with the much larger group of patients who believe that their injury was due to medical negligence. When patients perceive their injury in this way, malpractice litigation is not the only option available to them; they can also lodge a complaint with the hospital's complaint committee or with the medical disciplinary board. If such complaints are found justified, this increases the chance of a settlement without court proceedings. Patients should be informed about the possibility of bile-duct injury during laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Apart from the legal obligation to do so, an informed patient will be less inclined to attribute the injury automatically to a medical error. Finally, the high number of complications and claims justifies further debate on whether a no-fault compensation system is to be preferred over the present system of compensation based on medical negligence.

　地震や累積的な断層運動は，地表に変位を生じさせる．この地表変位から地下の断層形状を推定することは，地震被害想定の観点からは重要な課題の一つである．断層形状を推定する従来手法として，バランス断面法とOkadaの食い違い理論に基づく手法がある．これらの手法は，褶曲が地表で確認できない場合や，共役断層を含む複数の断層が想定される場合には正確に断層形状を推定することは困難である場合が多い．本研究では以上 …

… We use the Mansinha and Smylie's(1971) analytical solution for the displacements of inclined faults to estimate the slip distribution so that the crustal deformation at each observation site coincides with the displacements calculated from 40 and/or 60 subfaults of 20×20 km2. … Tsunami waveformes are calculated with the fault model assuming a constant rise time of 20s on each subfault and a rapture velocity of 2 km/s. …

… The images also indicate that several smaller-scale high-velocity zones are located at depths of 0-35 km, striking approximately north-south and inclined to the east-northeastward at 40°-60°. … Moreover, the boundary between the clearest high-velocity and the broad low-velocity zones corresponds to the fault plane of the 1970 Mj (magnitude determined by the Japan Meteorological Agency) 6.7 Hidaka earthquake. …
