Just-in-Time Simulation Training to Augment Overnight ICU Resident Education.

Patients who decompensate overnight experience worse outcomes than those who do so during the day. Just-in-time (JIT) simulation could improve on-call resident preparedness but has been minimally evaluated in critical care medicine (CCM) to date. To determine whether JIT training can improve residents' performance in simulation and if those skills would transfer to better clinical management in adult CCM.

Decoupling 1D and 2D features of 2D sp-nanoribbons-the megatom model.

The dependence of the electron energy band gap on the width of an-nanoribbon is investigated using a generalization of the 1D tight binding model for a chain of atoms. Within the proposed generalization, small linear atomic formations along lines perpendicular to the 2D ribbon axis are modeled as single large atoms calledwhose properties depend on the type, the size and the atomic conformation. Replacement of a 1D chain of atoms by that of the megatoms is accompanied by the incorporation of zeroth order 2D features into the 1D model approximation of the nanoribbon.

Magnetism versus band-gap relationship in diluted magnetic semiconductors: megatom impurity behavior of the magnetic dopant complexes.

An analysis ofnumerical results obtained for the total energy of diluted magnetic semiconductors (DMSs) doped with dopant formations of various structural and spin conformations consisting of 2-4 3D transition metal (TM atoms) has revealed that a dopant formation acts as large impurity atom i.e., as a, in a reverse analogy to the process of the adsorption of-atoms onto metallic surfaces.

Codoping induced enhanced ferromagnetism in diluted magnetic semiconductors.

The experimentally observed-magnetism and its subsequent attribution to the presence of structural and topological defects has opened the way for engineering the magnetic properties of diluted magnetic semiconductors (DMSs) and transition metal oxides (TMOs). Doping and codoping constitute the most commonly used processes (either experimentally or theoretically) for developing and studying this type of defect-induced magnetism. The focus of the present review is to highlight the basic features of the defect magnetism which have been observed over diverse systems, while emphasizing the local, holistic and synergistic response of the host materials to their doping and investigating their role in the development of the magnetic coupling (MC) that is developed among the magnetic dopants.

High temperature stability, metallic character and bonding of the SiBN planar structure.

The family of monolayered SiBN structures constitute a new class of 2D materials exhibiting metallic character with remarkable stability. Topologically, these structures are very similar to graphene, forming a slightly distorted honeycomb lattice generated by a union of two basic motifs with AA and AB stacking. In the present work we study in detail the structural and electronic properties of these structures in order to understand the factors which are responsible for their structural differences as well as those which are responsible for their metallic behavior and bonding.
