The electronic properties of the Mg 2 NiH 4 monoclinic phase are calculated using a density functional approach calculation. The crystalline parameters and interatomic distances calculated are close to the experimental values within a 3% error. We also evaluate the density of states (DOS) and character of the chemical bonding for the hydrogen's located in their equilibrium positions. While the Ni-Mg interaction is dominant in the pure alloy, in the hydride the hydrogen atoms present a bonding much more developed with Ni than with Mg. The principal bonding interaction is Ni sp-H s. Moreover, a small bonding between Ni d eg and H 1s is observed. Up the Fermi level, the Ni-H interaction is slightly antibonding. The Mg-Ni bonding interactions are weaker in the hydride phase when compared with the pure Mg 2 Ni alloy. The present study is potentially useful because the alloys Mg-Ni are good materials for hydrogen storage.
The use of the Open edX platform to offer xMOOC courses by different Universities in the world, has led to a growth in the participation of students in the courses, thus generating a set of navigation patterns when interacting with the xMOOC which are recorded in the tracking.log file. So far there is no study that identifies EF-ISF navigation patterns of the set of patterns, for this reason in this document propose the use of the LexRank with Threshold algorithm for the identification of the EF-ISF navigation patterns.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
