The room temperature electrocaloric effect is researched for (110) oriented KNbO₃ film based on Landau-Devonshire theory. The phase map with different ferroelectric states is built at room temperature with the considerations of thermodynamic equilibrium conditions and minimum of thermodynamic potential. Five ferroelectric structural phases are obtained theoretically. The negative in-plane misfit strains are conducive to form the tetragonal phase and the positive strains are in favor of the stability of tetragonal and ₂ phases. The electrocaloric effect relies on both misfit strain and electric field. Moreover, large electrocaloric effect is achieved in the orthorhombic phases.

Introduction And Objective: Nursing staff constitute 59% of the total number of health care workers worldwide - a total of 27.9 million people. The aim of the study is assessment of the prevalence of stress, including strategies for coping with stress, emotional control, and occupational burnout syndrome, as well as the effect of chronic stress on occupational burnout among surgical nurses.

Background: The objective of this study was to assess the health outcomes for patients who present to the emergency department (ED) with cardiac chest pain after the implementation of an accelerated diagnostic protocol using a high-sensitivity troponin assay (hs-TnI).
Methods: This prospective before-after cohort study used population-based linked health administrative data for adult patients who presented to a Canadian urban ED with chest pain of suspected cardiac origin over a 2-year study period. The primary outcome was ED length of stay (LOS).

The bacterial flagellar motor is both chemo- and mechanosensitive. It is sensitive to the intracellular concentration of the chemotaxis response regulator CheY-P and to external load conditions. The motor's dose-response curve, which represents the probability of the motor rotating clockwise (CW bias) as a function of CheY-P concentration, characterizes its chemical sensitivity.
