PERSPECTIVES ON PYROCHLORES, DEFECT FLUORITES, AND RELATED COMPOUNDS: BUILDING BLOCKS FOR CHEMICAL DIVERSITY AND FUNCTIONALITY

Perspectives on Pyrochlores, Defect Fluorites, and Related Compounds: Building Blocks for Chemical Diversity and Functionality

In this article we provide some perspectives on a range of pyrochlore and defect fluorite type compounds with nominal A2B2O7, A2BO5, ABC2O7, and other stoichiometries.Typically, the phase transformations and stability fields in these systems are mapped as a function of the ionic radii of the A and B-site cations, e.g., the A/B cation radius ratio (

Reproducibility, reliability and validity of population-based administrative health data for the assessment of cancer non-related comorbidities.

BACKGROUND:Patients with comorbidities do not receive optimal treatment for their cancer, leading to lower cancer survival.Information on individual comorbidities is not straightforward to derive from population-based administrative health datasets.We described the development of a reproducible algorithm to extract the individual Charlson index com

Optimizing song retention through the spacing effect

Abstract The spacing effect refers to the improvement in memory retention for materials learned in a series of sessions, as opposed to massing learning in a single session.It has been extensively studied in the domain of verbal learning using word lists.Less evidence is available for connected discourse or tasks requiring the complex coordination o
