The basic formal and numerical aspects of different degree interpolated moving least-squares (IMLS) methods are applied to a six-dimensional potential energy surface (PES) of the HOOH molecule, for which an analytic ("exact") potential is available in the literature. The results of systematic investigations of the effects of weight function parameters, the degree and partial degree of IMLS, the number of data points allowed, and the optimal automatic point selection of data points up to full third-degree IMLS fits are reported. With partial reduction of cross terms and automatic point selection the full six-dimensional HOOH PES can be fit over a range of 100 kcal/mol to an accuracy of less than 1 kcal/mol with approximately 1350 ab initio points.

We present a technique called photoacoustic vector-flow (PAVF) to quantify the speed and direction of flowing optical absorbers at each pixel from acoustic-resolution PA images. By varying the receiving angle at each pixel in post-processing, we obtain multiple estimates of the phase difference between consecutive frames. These are used to solve the overdetermined photoacoustic Doppler equation with a least-squares approach to estimate a velocity vector at each pixel.

In previous studies, nursing students have reported experiencing moral distress during practice. However, it is unclear whether student nurses who experience ethical decision-making competence in their clinical internships have a protective effect against moral distress, resilience-protective factors, and resilience. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the effects of ethical decision-making competence on moral distress, resilience, and protective factors among nursing students.

Aiming at the magnetic seal in an aero-engine accessory, the range of magnetic force required for the normal operation of the magnetic seal is analyzed. The finite element analysis method based on the Maxwell stress tensor method is used to calculate the magnetic force between the dynamic ring and the magnetic static ring in the magnetic sealing system. The magnetic force under different magnetization modes and gaps is tested by the magnetic measuring test bench, which verifies the correctness of the magnetic calculation method.

Chlorine, commonly found in pools and tap water, presents an intriguing concern in forensic hair analysis due to its sources and composition. Current forensic analysis involves optical microscopy which is subjected to advanced training where even multiple experts can deliver opposing conclusions for the same hair sample. Despite challenges in traditional analysis methods, emerging techniques like surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) offer promising solutions, showcasing success even in harsh environments like prolonged sunlight or stagnant water immersion.
