With the developments in nanotechnology, the elaborate regulation of microstructure shows attractive potential in the design of new composite materials. Herein, composite materials composed of graphene network filled with metal nanoparticles are analyzed to optimize the fabrication process and mechanical properties. In the present work, molecular dynamic simulations are used to analyze the possibility of obtaining a composite structure with Ni-decorated graphene.

Despite the fact that the questionnaires are based on different theoretical models and composition of the scales, they evaluate essentially the same construct. A few published sources provide data on correlations between the results of measuring burnout using these methods.

Material And Methods: We analyzed treatment outcomes in 74 patients with colon cancer stage T1-4aN0-2M0 who underwent right- and left-sided hemicolectomy, resection of sigmoid colon with standard and extended lymph node dissection (D2 and D3).
Results: Surgical approach and level of D3 lymph node dissection did not increase intra- and postoperative morbidity.
A new species of the genus Spatiodamaeus (Oribatida, Damaeidae) is described from Russia, based on adult and juvenile instars collected from bark of Acer platanoides and soil-litter of mixed and broadleaf forests in European part of Russia and Western Siberia. The adult of Spatiodamaeus kalugaensis sp. nov.
