A highly ordered Ge-incorporated akaganeite with the atomic ratio of Ge/Fe ¼ 0.14 and Cl/Fe ¼ 0.11 was firstly synthesized through hydrolysis and acidification of a mixed solution of FeCl 3 $6H 2 O and TEOGe (Ge(OC 2 H 5 ) 4 ) under the a-Fe 2 O 3 synthesis conditions. The newly synthesized Ge-akaganeite shows a monodisperse nanorod with 15-17 nm in width and $200 nm in length, the distinctly enhanced structural ordering and stability, and substantial differences in crystallographic and magnetic features.Here we propose a hypothetical akaganeite model with Ge occupying the tunnel sites as Ge(OH) 4 0 based on crystallographic and chemical analyses.
This exploratory, qualitative research explored the ethical problems faced by hospital social workers in South Korea and Australia, and what and who influenced their decision making using a focus group design. Although dilemmas of boundaries, confidentiality, self-determination, and other complex scenarios found in practice were identified, moral distress, a consequence of the unresolvable conflicts, dominated participants' narratives. This was particularly the case for the Korean social workers in this sample. A thematic analysis of the data yielded three main themes: 'Under pressure-"It's very uncomfortable"'; 'Failing our patients'; and 'Coping and codes'.
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.
