Lattice Centering and Coordination Number02:33

Lattice Centering and Coordination Number

11.4K
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.

Center of Gravity

6.6K
The center of gravity (COG) of an object is the point where the object's total weight is considered to be concentrated. Knowing the location of the center of gravity is useful when predicting the behavior of a moving object or designing static structures. In a uniform gravitational field, the center of gravity is similar to the center of mass (COM); yet, these two points can be positioned differently. For example, the Moon's center of mass lies very close to its geometric center, but...

Center of Gravity

2.1K
The center of gravity is the point at which an object's weight appears to be concentrated and can be used to balance the object perfectly. This point is essential in mechanics as it provides information regarding a body's stability and moments of inertia. The center of gravity does not always have to fall within the shape or boundaries of the body; it may also lie outside the body in certain cases.
To determine its location, the principle of moments can be utilized by dividing the object into...

Center of Mass

2.0K
The center of mass is the point at which the total mass of an object can be said to be concentrated. It is a fundamental principle in mechanics and physics that applies to all objects regardless of their shape or size. The center of gravity is the point at which an object’s weight appears to be concentrated and can be used to balance the object perfectly.
The knowledge of the center of mass can also help us to describe and predict the motion of objects. For example, when a ball is thrown...

Instantaneous Center of Zero Velocity

General plane motion, often observed in a rolling wheel, refers to a type of movement where the wheel is simultaneously rotating and translating. This complex motion can be understood by breaking it down into individual components.
To analyze this, consider two points on the wheel: point A and point B. The absolute velocity of point B can be expressed as the vector sum of the absolute velocity of point A and the relative velocity of point B with respect to point A. To simplify this analysis,...

Patient-centered Care01:13

Patient-centered Care

2.9K
Patient-centered care involves delivering care beyond inpatient hospitalization. Reflective practice can enhance a patient-centered approach. Reflective practice is a process of reasoning that considers all aspects of the present situation, including practicalities, learning from personal practice, and consideration of patient needs. Patients appreciate care decisions made while considering their input. Involving the patient in their care provides the patient with a sense of contribution rather...

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Microbiology
  • Infectious Diseases

Background:

  • Clostridium difficile is a common cause of antibiotic-associated diarrhea and colitis.
  • This bacterium is gram-positive, anaerobic, and spore-forming.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the effectiveness of fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) for treating Clostridium difficile infections.
  • To assess FMT efficacy in a patient population in Connecticut.

Main Methods:

  • A clinical study involving 92 consecutive patients treated with FMT via colonoscopy.
  • Data collected from 2012 to 2017, with follow-up up to 3 months post-procedure.
  • Analysis based on clinical outcomes and medical chart reviews.

Main Results:

  • An overall complete recovery rate of 86% was observed.
  • Community-acquired C. difficile infections were more prevalent than hospital-acquired ones.
  • Female patients were more frequently represented in community-acquired cases.

Conclusions:

  • FMT is an effective treatment for Clostridium difficile infections.
  • The source of the fecal donor (relative vs. non-relative) did not influence recovery rates.
  • The presence of multiple comorbidities did not negatively affect patient outcomes following FMT.
