Methods: Two classes from the 2012 senior graduating nursing class were randomly selected by a computer to conduct the diversified practical teaching methods based on animal experimentation. A hospital environment was simulated by requiring students to perform different types of injections and practical IV infusion techniques. A comprehensive evaluation of the core professional competencies, as well as other integrated competencies, was conducted to determine the effectiveness of the teaching methods. Results: Two-sampled, pairwise u-tests were performed between the scores of the experimental (nursing class 2) and control (nursing class 1) groups. These findings showed that the overall test scores were significantly higher in the experimental group compared to the control group and that the average P-values for the competencies in various categories were 〈0.01, which indicated statistically significant results. Conclusions: Based on the data from this project, diversified teaching methods for basic nursing training founded on animal experimentation can help nursing students perfect their core professional competencies and improve their overall professional standing. The introduction of animal experimentation requires further verification, and an increased acknowledgement of its benefits through the widespread dissemination of this information.展开更多

The determinantal conditions and the electron-nucleus cusp condition are used to calculate the inequalities of the upper and the lower bounds to p(0) with two or more expectation values. These inequalities, derived by Angulo and Dehesa [Phys. Rev. A 44 1516 (1991)], are verified to be also valid for these ions with higher nuclear charge. The present results show that the wave functions used in this paper are satisfactory in the whole configuration space for these ions with higher nuclear charge.展开更多

The determinantal conditions and the electron-nucleus cusp condition are used to calculate the inequalities of the upper and the lower bounds to p(0) with two or more expectation values. These inequalities, derived by Angulo and Dehesa [Phys. Rev. A 44 1516 (1991)], are verified to be also valid for these ions with higher nuclear charge. The present results show that the wave functions used in this paper are satisfactory in the whole configuration space for these ions with higher nuclear charge.

文摘Aims Long-term determination of root biomass production upon land-use conversion to biofuel crops is rare.To assess land-use legacy influences on belowground biomass accumulation,we converted 22-year-old Conservation Reserve Program(CRP)grasslands and 50+-year-old agricultural(AGR)lands to corn(C),switchgrass(Sw)and restored prairie(Pr)biofuel crops.We maintained one CRP grassland as a reference(Ref).We hypothesized that land-use history and crop type have significant effects on root density,with perennial crops on CRP grasslands having a higher root biomass productivity,while corn grown on former agricultural lands produce the lowest root biomass.Methods The ingrowth core method was used to determine in situ ingrowth root biomass,alongside measurements of aboveground net primary productivity(ANPP).Ancillary measurements,including air temperature,growing season length and precipitation were used to examine their influences on root biomass production.Important Findings Root biomass productivity was the highest in unconverted CRP grassland(1716 g m?2 yr?1)and lowest in corn fields(526 g m?2 yr?1).All perennial sites converted from CRP and AGR lands had lower root biomass and ANPP in the first year of planting but peaked in 2011 for switchgrass and a year later for restored prairies.Ecosystem stability was higher in restored prairies(AGR-Pr:4.3±0.11;CRP-Pr:4.1±0.10),with all monocultures exhibiting a lower stability.Root biomass production was positively related to ANPP(R2=0.40).Overall,attention should be given to root biomass accumulation in large-scale biofuel production as it is a major source of carbon sequestration.
