Chloride-induced steel corrosion is known to be a very common kind of deterioration of reinforced concrete. It is beneficial to bind free chloride ions to reduce the corrosion probability of the reinforcement embedded in the concrete. The binding capacity of the concrete varies according to its cementitious system.

Introduction: Nursing care plays a pivotal role in promoting patient well-being and optimizing health outcomes. The nursing profession is characterized by its commitment to delivering high-quality care to patients.
Objective: The purpose of the study was to explore the role of nursing professional commitment as a mediator between the work environment and missed nursing care.
Zinc oxide (ZnO) and Silicon carbide (SiC) thin films demonstrate unique properties such as high electron mobility, thermal stability, good chemical resistance, and low cost made them good candidates for optical applications. Moreover, semiconductors absorb short wavelengths of light due to the presence of a band gap. This work's purpose is to study the effect of deposited ZnO and SiC thin films by physical vapor deposition (PVD) above two different oxides and substrates.
