Excess charge stabilization of molecules in metallic environments is of particular importance for fields such as molecular electronics and surface chemistry. We study the energetics of benzene and its anion between two ...

The anisotropic elastic and thermal properties of layered compounds in the series Ln(2)SrAl(2)O(7) (Ln = La, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd or Dy) are calculated from first principles using density functional theory combined with the Debye ...

We use accurate ab initio and quantum scattering calculations to demonstrate that the maximum He3 spin polarization that can be achieved in spin-exchange collisions with potassium (K39) and silver (Ag107) atoms is limited ...

The thermal diffusivity of the La-doped layered perovskite Sr2Nb2O7 parallel and perpendicular to the perovskite layers is reported from room temperature up to 1000°C. The anisotropy persists through an incommensurate-normal ...

ABSTRACT Plant cell morphogenesis depends critically on two processes: the deposition of new wall material at the cell surface and the mechanical deformation of this material by the stresses resulting from the cell's turgor ...

A single pulse of ruby laser radiation is shown to cause significant regrowth in the amorphous region of heavily ion‐implanted GaAs. The implanted Te atoms and the host material both show good channeling dips, suggesting ...

Reading, compiling and commenting on texts long constituted one of the central practices of natural philosophy, from antiquity down to at least the late 17th century. From Pliny to Ulisse Aldrovandi to Johann Jonston, from ...

The recent completion of the Drosophila melanogaster genomic sequence to high quality, and the availability of a greatly expanded set of Drosophila cDNA sequences, afforded FlyBase the opportunity to significantly improve ...

Background Within the past decade, health care service and research priorities have shifted from evidence-based medicine to personalized medicine. In mental health care, a similar shift to personalized intervention may ...

Most lizard communities are characterized by having one or two dominant species and a handful of other species that occur at relatively low densities. However, Soroa, a site in the Sierra del Rosario of western Cuba, is ...
