Divalent EuRh2Si2 as a Reference for the Luttinger Theorem and Antiferromagnetism in Trivalent Heavy-Fermion YbRh2Si2
(Nature Publishing Group, 2019-02-15)
Application of the Luttinger theorem to the Kondo lattice YbRh2Si2 suggests that its large 4f derived Fermi surface (FS) in the paramagnetic (PM) regime should be similar in shape and volume to that of the divalent ...
First Measurements of Absolute Branching Fractions of the Xi(0)(c) Baryon at Belle
(American Physical Society, 2019-02-25)
We present the first measurements of absolute branching fractions of Xi(0)(c) decays into Xi(-)pi(+), Lambda K-pi(+), and pK(-)K(-)pi(+) final states. The measurements are made using a dataset comprising (772 +/- 11) x ...
The Application of Nanoscale Zero-Valent Iron Promotes Soil Remediation While Negatively Affecting Soil Microbial Biomass and Activity
(Frontiers Media, 2019-02-19)
The use of nanoscale zero-valent iron (nZVI) particles for soil remediation is gaining increased attention. However, there are concerns about the potential adverse effects of nZVI on soil microbial communities and, hence, ...
Gene Expression Study and Pathway Analysis of Histological Subtypes of Intestinal Metaplasia that Progress to Gastric Cancer
(Public Library Science, 2017-04-25)
Background
Intestinal metaplasia (IM) is a precursor lesion that precedes gastric cancer (GC). There are two IM histological subtypes, complete (CIM) and incomplete (IIM), the latter having higher progression rates to ...
PPF-Dependent Fixed Point Results for New Multi-Valued Generalized F-Contraction in the Razumikhin Class with an Application
(MDPI, 2019-01-07)
In this paper, a new multi-valued generalized F-contraction mapping is given. Using it, the existence of PPF-dependent fixed point for such mappings in the Razumikhin class is obtained. Moreover, an application for nonlinear ...
Present and Future of Surface-Enhanced Raman Scattering
(ACS Publications, 2019-10-08)
The discovery of the enhancement of Raman scattering by molecules adsorbed on nanostructured metal surfaces is a landmark in the history of spectroscopic and analytical techniques. Significant experimental and theoretical ...
Uniaxial and Mixed Orientations of Poly(ethylene oxide) in Nanoporous Alumina Studied by X-ray Pole Figure Analysis
(American Chemical Society, 2018-11-16)
The orientation of polymers under confinement is a basic, yet not fully understood phenomenon. In this work, the texture of poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) infiltrated in nanoporous anodic alumina oxide (AAO) templates was ...
Parkinson disease-associated mutations in LRRK2 cause centrosomal defects via Rab8a phosphorylation
(Biomed Central, 2019-01-23)
Background: Mutations in LRRK2 are a common genetic cause of Parkinson's disease (PD). LRRK2 interacts with and phosphorylates a subset of Rab proteins including Rab8a, a protein which has been implicated in various ...
Prevalence and determinants of diabetes among older adults in Ghana
(Biomed Central, 2016-11-21)
Background: Diabetes is one of the leading non-communicable diseases in Africa, contributing to the increasing disease burden among the old adults. Thus, the aim of this study was to determine the prevalence and determinants ...
Evaluation of Protective Coatings for High-Corrosivity Category Atmospheres in Offshore Applications
(MDPI, 2019-04-23)
The interest in renewable energies obtained from the resources availed in the ocean has increased during the last few years. However, the harsh atmospheric conditions in marine environments is a major drawback in the design ...
