The ability of a protein to carry out a given function results from fundamental physicochemical properties that include the protein's structure, mechanism of action, and thermodynamic stability. Traditional approaches to study these properties have typically required the direct measurement of the property of interest,…

The magnetic energy levels of a given magnetic solid are closely packed in energy because the interactions between magnetic ions are weak. Thus, in describing its magnetic properties, one needs to generate its magnetic energy spectrum by employing an appropriate spin Hamiltonian. In this review article we discuss how…

We report a catalyst made of Pd nanoparticles (NPs) supported on mesoporous N-doped carbon, Pd@CN(0132), which was shown to be highly active in promoting biomass refining. The use of a task-specific ionic liquid (3-methyl-1-butylpyridine dicyanamide) as a precursor and silica NPs as a hard template afforded a high-nit…

We proposed a novel anisotropic soft-core potential for spherocylinders that takes into account the degree of overlap between two spherocylinders, thus superior to other soft-core spherocylinder models depending only on the minimum distance between two line segments representing spherocylinders, for example, that used…

Electromagnetic wave propagation in one-dimensional disordered structures composed of hyperbolic metamaterials is theoretically investigated. We find that the disordered system can suppress Anderson localization of light at long-wavelength limit under a finite range of incident angle. For isolated frequencies and for…

The interaction between graphene layers is analyzed combining local orbital DFT and second order perturbation theory. For this purpose we use the linear combination of atomic orbitals-orbital occupancy (LCAO-OO) formalism, that allows us to separate the interaction energy as the sum of a weak chemical interaction betw…

We study the infinite-energy solutions of the Cahn-Hilliard equation in the whole 3D spacein uniformly local phase spaces. In particular, we establish the global existence of solutions for the case of regular potentials ofarbitrary polynomial growth and for the case of sufficiently strong singular potentials. For thes…

We study the scattering properties of very small spheres made of a negative refractive index (NRI) using circuit network principles. The Lorenz-Mie theory is used to represent the transverse magnetic and transverse electric scattering coefficients based on resistor, inductor, and capacitor (RLC) ladder circuit models…

A series of oxygen deficient LuFe(2)O(4-δ) materials have been prepared under a controlled oxygen partial-pressure atmosphere. Measurements of magnetization reveal that the increase of oxygen deficiencies could evidently depress the ferrimagnetic phase transition temperature (T(N)). In additional to the well-known cha…

In this letter, we study the low-frequency noise behavior of RESET-state Phase-Change Memory (PCM) devices belonging to a 45-nm technology node. Furthermore, by dealing with a typical case study, we calculate the fluctuation of the cell readout current induced by$\hbox{1}/f$noise and provide predictions for estimating…

A new scaling formalism is used to analyze nonlinear I-V data in the vicinity of metal-insulator transitions (MIT) in five manganite systems. An exponent, called the nonlinearity exponent, and an onset field for nonlinearity, both characteristic of the system under study, are obtained from the analysis. The onset fiel…
