First Principles Calculation of the Entropy of Liquid Aluminum.

Entropy (Basel)

National Energy Technology Laboratory, Albany, OR 97321, USA.

Published: January 2019

The information required to specify a liquid structure equals, in suitable units, its thermodynamic entropy. Hence, an expansion of the entropy in terms of multi-particle correlation functions can be interpreted as a hierarchy of information measures. Utilizing first principles molecular dynamics simulations, we simulate the structure of liquid aluminum to obtain its density, pair and triplet correlation functions, allowing us to approximate the experimentally measured entropy and relate the excess entropy to the information content of the correlation functions. We discuss the accuracy and convergence of the method.

Objective: We aimed to examine the cognitive profile in adolescents with anorexia nervosa (AN) and its association with traits of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and ADHD. In addition, resemblance in the cognitive profile between youths with AN and their parents was explored.

Methods: Adolescent females with acute AN (n = 20) and a healthy comparison group (n = 28) completed neuropsychological tasks of set-shifting (Trail making test, Wisconsin Card Sorting Test) and central coherence (Rey Complex Figures Task, Group Embedded Figures Test, object assembly subtest).

Realization of a sustainable hydrogen economy in the future requires the development of efficient and cost-effective catalysts for its production at scale. MXenes (MX) are a class of 2D materials with 'n' layers of carbon or nitrogen (X) interleaved by 'n+1' layers of transition metal (M) and have emerged as promising materials for various applications including catalysts for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Their properties are intimately related to both their composition and their atomic structure.

Purpose: To linguistically and cross-culturally translate Hip Disability and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score into Urdu language (HOOS-U), and test its psychometric properties among patients with hip pain.

Materials And Methods: Translation and cross-cultural adaptation of English version of HOOS were carried out following international guidelines. Psychometric testing included reliability (internal consistency and test-retest reliability), validity (content and construct validity) and responsiveness.

Psychosocial correlates of alcohol and substance use in college youth with type 1 diabetes.

J Pediatr Psychol

December 2024

Division of General Internal Medicine and Health Services Research, David Geffen School of Medicine at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), Los Angeles, CA, United States.

Objective: Adolescents and young adults with chronic diseases face unique challenges during the college years and may consume alcohol and other substances to cope with stressors. This study aimed to assess the patterns of substance use and to determine psychosocial correlates of these behaviors among college youth with type 1 diabetes (T1D).

Methods: College youth with T1D were recruited via social media and direct outreach into a web-based study.
