INFLUENCE OF CARBON ON HYDROGEN RETENTION IN MOLYBDENUM FOR NUCLEAR MATERIAL APPLICATION: A FIRST-PRINCIPLES INVESTIGATION

Influence of carbon on hydrogen retention in molybdenum for nuclear material application: A first-principles investigation

Mo has been applied to nuclear material, in which H and carbon impurities are unavoidable.In view of this, we have studied the effect of carbon on the H retention in Mo using first-principles simulations.In perfect Mo, there is always repulsion between H and carbon, and impurity carbon cannot capture H atoms.With the appearance of vacancy in Mo, va

A proposal to account for the stimulus, the mechanism, and the mediators released in exercise-induced bronchoconstriction

Figure Skating - Accessories - Fashion Exercise induced bronchoconstriction (EIB) describes the transient narrowing of the airways that follows vigorous exercise.It commonly occurs in children and adults who have asthma and in elite athletes.The primary stimulus is proposed to be loss of water, by evaporation, from the airway surface due to conditi

An enigma: A meta-analysis reveals the effect of ubiquitous microplastics on different taxa in aquatic systems

Microplastics are ubiquitous in aquatic ecosystems globally, with tropical freshwater systems underrepresented in the literature.The ubiquity of microplastics may affect the feeding, growth, reproduction, and survival of organisms in aquatic systems; however, the data on the potential effects of microplastics on aquatic organisms is tentative.In th
