Lattice Centering and Coordination Number

Lattice Centering and Coordination Number

The structure of a crystalline solid, whether a metal or not, is best described by considering its simplest repeating unit, which is referred to as its unit cell. The unit cell consists of lattice points that represent the locations of atoms or ions. The entire structure then consists of this unit cell repeating in three dimensions. The three different types of unit cells present in the cubic lattice are illustrated in Figure 1.

Trends in Lattice Energy: Ion Size and Charge

Trends in Lattice Energy: Ion Size and Charge

An ionic compound is stable because of the electrostatic attraction between its positive and negative ions. The lattice energy of a compound is a measure of the strength of this attraction. The lattice energy (ΔHlattice) of an ionic compound is defined as the energy required to separate one mole of the solid into its component gaseous ions. For the ionic solid sodium chloride, the lattice energy is the enthalpy change of the process:

Bewley Lattice Diagram

Bewley Lattice Diagram

The Bewley lattice diagram, developed by L. V. Bewley, effectively organizes the reflections occurring during transmission-line transients. It visually represents how voltage waves propagate and reflect within a transmission line, making it easier to understand the complex interactions that occur.

Dynamic Equilibrium

Dynamic Equilibrium

A reversible chemical reaction represents a chemical process that proceeds in both forward (left to right) and reverse (right to left) directions. When the rates of the forward and reverse reactions are equal, the concentrations of the reactant and product species remain constant over time and the system is at equilibrium. A special double arrow is used to emphasize the reversible nature of the reaction. The relative concentrations of reactants and products in equilibrium systems vary greatly;...

Dynamics of Circular Motion

Dynamics of Circular Motion

An object undergoing circular motion, like a race car, is accelerating because it is changing the direction of its velocity. This centrally directed acceleration is called centripetal acceleration. This acceleration acts along the radius of the curved path (thus is also referred to as radial acceleration).
Any acceleration must be produced by some force. Therefore, any force or combination of forces can cause centripetal acceleration. A few examples include the tension in the rope on a...

Fermi Level Dynamics

Fermi Level Dynamics

The vacuum level denotes the energy threshold required for an electron to escape from a material surface. It is usually positioned above the conduction band of a semiconductor and acts as a benchmark for comparing electron energies within various materials.
Electron affinity in semiconductors refers to the energy gap between the minimum of its conduction band and the vacuum level and it is a critical parameter in determining how easily a semiconductor can accept additional electrons.
The work...

Background:

Malaria transmission is influenced by complex climatic and human factors.
Anopheles mosquito dispersal significantly impacts malaria persistence and dynamics.
Existing models struggle to predict malaria's response to environmental changes.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop a novel stochastic lattice-based model for malaria dynamics.
To predict malaria transmission in heterogeneous environments.
To integrate mosquito dispersal and epidemic models.

Main Methods:

Developed a stochastic lattice-based model coupling mosquito dispersal and SEIR (Susceptible-Exposed-Infected-Recovered) models.
Utilized Itô approximation for stochastic differential equations.
Simulated malaria dynamics in Kilifi county, Kenya.

Main Results:

The stochastic model captures uncertainties in mosquito life cycles and vector-parasite-host interactions.
Model simulations demonstrate a mechanism for malaria disruption.
The model effectively predicts malaria dynamics in heterogeneous environments.

Conclusions:

A stochastic lattice-based integrated malaria model has been successfully developed.
The model demonstrates applicability in capturing climate-driven and demographic factors influencing malaria transmission.
