Pd–Pt alloys: correlation between electronic structure and hydrogenation properties
Abstract Palladium and its alloys have been extensively studied because of their faculty to store reversibly hydrogen isotopes. Here, the substitution of palladium with platinum is investigated. Thermodynamical studies have shown an anomalous behaviour regarding to the classical models. This original behaviour is explained by the study of the electronic structure of the binary solid solutions. The drastic decrease of the hydrogen solubility in the Pd–Pt alloys is accounted for by the filling up of the palladium conduction band by the valence electrons of platinum. The anomalous decrease of the stability of the hydride is explained by the large broadening of the valence band due to the subst…
SARS-CoV-2 vaccination modelling for safe surgery to save lives: data from an international prospective cohort study
Abstract Background Preoperative SARS-CoV-2 vaccination could support safer elective surgery. Vaccine numbers are limited so this study aimed to inform their prioritization by modelling. Methods The primary outcome was the number needed to vaccinate (NNV) to prevent one COVID-19-related death in 1 year. NNVs were based on postoperative SARS-CoV-2 rates and mortality in an international cohort study (surgical patients), and community SARS-CoV-2 incidence and case fatality data (general population). NNV estimates were stratified by age (18–49, 50–69, 70 or more years) and type of surgery. Best- and worst-case scenarios were used to describe uncertainty. Results NNVs were more favourable in su…
