ABSTRACT
Small-angle x-ray scattering, nitrogen adsorption, and scanning tunneling microscopy show that a series of activated carbons host an extended fractal network of channels with dimension D(p) = 2.8-3.0 (pore fractal), channel width 15-20 A (lower end of scaling), network diameter 3000-3400 A (upper end of scaling), and porosity of 0.3-0.6. We interpret the network as a stack of quasiplanar invasion percolation clusters, formed by oxidative removal of walls between closed voids of diameter of approximately 10 A and held in registry by fibrils of the biological precursor, and point out unique applications.
ABSTRACT
This paper presents an analysis of legal trends affecting institutions which train allied health professionals, including risks faced and actions necessary to minimize liabilities. It discusses those factors which determine liabilities that may be applicable to health professions educational institutions; trends emerging as legal doctrines from courts rendering malpractice decisions; and actions for preventing, minimizing, counteracting or neutralizing the likelihood of legal liabilities attaching to such institutions.
