A linear-scaling algorithm based on a divide-and-conquer (DC) scheme is designed to perform large-scale molecular-dynamics simulations, in which interatomic forces are computed quantum mechanically in the framework of the density functional theory (DFT).This scheme is applied to the thermite reaction at an Al/Fe2O3 interface.It is found that mass d
Attitudes of youth towards cyber vandalism
The topic of this research was the investigation of attitudes towards cyber vandalism through the establishment of gender and age differences in assessing the seriousness of cyber vandalism and the opinion differences regarding the appropriate kinds of punishment and the motives for this behavior.The sample included 200 primary and secondary studen
Two-Time-Scale Braking Controller Design With Sliding Mode for Electric Vehicles Over CAN
This paper proposed a braking torque controller via two-time-scale design with a sliding mode for electric vehicles with four in-wheel motors.According to the different changing rates between the vehicle and wheel motion during the braking process, the design of the braking controller is carried out in two steps.In the first step, a nominal braking
The general movements assessment and effects of an early intervention in an infant with Cri du chat syndrome: a case report
Background.Cri du chat syndrome (CdCS) is a rare orphan genetic disorder.Infants with CdCS have a neurodevelopmental dysfunction, but there are limited studies on their spontaneous movements or effect of the early CARD interventions in children with CdCS.This study aimed to describe early spontaneous movements and investigate the effects of an earl
