Orbital Picture of Yu-Shiba-Rusinov Multiplets
No full textWe investigate the nature of Yu-Shiba-Rusinov (YSR) subgap states induced by
single manganese (Mn) atoms adsorbed on different surface orientations of
superconducting lead (Pb). Depending on the adsorption site, we detect a
distinct number and characteristic patterns of YSR states around the Mn atoms.
We suggest that the YSR states inherit their properties from the Mn d levels,
which are split by the surrounding crystal field. The periodicity of the long-
range YSR oscillations allows us to identify a dominant coupling of the d
states to the outer Fermi sheet of the two-band superconductor Pb
Surface functionalisation of diatoms with dopamine modified iron-oxide nanoparticles: toward magnetically guided drug microcarriers with biologically derived morphologies
No full textDiatom silica microcapsules prepared by purification of diatomaceous earth (DE) were functionalised by dopamine modified iron-oxide nanoparticles, in order to introduce diatoms with magnetic properties. The application of magnetised diatoms as magnetically guided drug delivery microcarriers has been demonstrated.Dusan Losic, Yang Yu, Moom Sinn Aw, Spomenka Simovic, Benjamin Thierry and Jonas Addai-Mensa
Lattice study of ((D)over-bar(1)D*)(+/-) near-threshold scattering
No full textIn this exploratory lattice study, low-energy near threshold scattering of the ((D) over bar D-1*)(+/-) meson system is analyzed using lattice QCD with N-f = 2 twisted mass fermion configurations. Both s-wave (J(P) = 0(-)) and p-wave (J(P) = 1(+)) channels are investigated. It is found that the interaction between the two charmed mesons is attractive near the threshold in both channels. This calculation provides some hints in the searching of resonances or bound states around the threshold of ((D) over bar D-1*)(+/-) system.National Science Foundation of China (NSFC) [11335001, 11275169, 11075167, 11105153, 11505132, 11261130311]; Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG); Scientific Research Program - Shanxi Provincial Education Department [15JK1348]SCI(E)[email protected]
Perspectives on Identity, Migration, and Displacement
No full textPerspectives on Identity, Migration, and Displacement -- edited by Steven Tötösy de Zepetnek, I-Chun Wang, and Hsiao-Yu Sun (Kaohsiung: National Sun Yat-sen University Press, 2010. ISBN 9789860235418 209 pages, bibliography, index) is a collection of articles about sociological and literary aspects of identity formation as a consequence of (im)migration. (Im)migration results in the problematics of assimilation and hybridity and in postcolonial scholarship, in particular, attention is paid to the concept of migration termed Creolization on the ground that cultural contact, cultural transmission, and cultural transformation result in the creation of new cultures.

NEW MODEL USING DSA TECHNIQUES AND COASIAN BARGAINING AGREEMENTS FOR SPECTRUM MANAGEMENT IN KOSOVO
No full textIn each country spectrum is scarce and expensive and as such it should treated carefully in terms of efficiency usage. The spectrum can be reallocated, reassigned and resold through agreements between the participants. In some places, interference exists (internalas well as external, i.e., from bordering countries) resulting in inefficient usage of spectrum, not respecting the law of telecommunication, the poor communication, loss of revenue, damage to telecommunication equipment etc. One of these places is Kosovo in GSM spectrum.
In this thesis what we are addressing is how to avoid this problem and bring to participants an AGREEMENT that benefits all. With these kinds of agreements, the interference can be avoided, saving a lot of money and revenue will increase for both parties: unlicensed and licensed mobile operators (including the Government of Kosovo (GK)). On the other hand the positive externalities should happen, such a social cost, economical efficiency, political view and community integration.
Our solution is based on Coase Theory and Problem of Social Cost and on another hand on the situation in Kosovo based on data from TRA of Kosovo and Serbia also data from Mobile Operators from both sides
Firm R&D, Absorptive Capacity and Learning by Exporting: Firm-level Evidence from China
No full textThe absorptive capacity of firms developed through R&D promotes learning by exporting. In this paper, we estimate the instantaneous and long-run productivity effects of exporting on the universe of Chinese manufacturing firms. We find that exporting has very different productivity effects for firms with different pre-export R&D status. It has large and lasting productivity effects for firms with pre-export R&D, while it has little effects for firms without pre-export R&D. Furthermore, the effect of exporting increases with the number of years of pre-export R&D investment.Business, FinanceEconomicsInternational RelationsSSCI0ARTICLE91131-11453
Z(c)(3900) as a (D)over-barD* molecule from the pole counting rule
No full textA comprehensive study on the nature of the Zc(3900) resonant structure is carried out in this work. By constructing the pertinent effective Lagrangians and considering the important final-state-interaction effects, we first give a unified description to all the relevant experimental data available, including the J/psi pi and pi invariant mass distributions from the e(+)e(-) -> J/psi pi process, the h(c)pi distribution from e(+)e(-) -> h(c)pi pi, and also the D (D) over bar* spectrum in the e(+)e(-) -> D (D) over bar*pi process. After fitting the unknown parameters to the previous data, we search the pole in the complex energy plane and find only one pole in the nearby energy region in different Riemann sheets. Therefore, we conclude that Z(c)(3900) is of D (D) over bar* molecular nature, according to the pole counting rule method [Nucl. Phys. A543, 632 (1992); Phys. Rev. D 35, 1633 (1987)]. We emphasize that the conclusion based upon the pole counting method is not trivial, since both the D (D) over bar* contact interactions and the explicit Z(c) exchanges are introduced in our analyses andNational Nature Science Foundations of China (NSFC) [10925522, 11021092, 11575052, 11105038]; Natural Science Foundation of Hebei Province [A2015205205]; inoGerman Collaborative Research Center "Symmetries and the Emergence of Structure in QCD" [CRC 110]; DFG; NSFCSCI(E)ARTICLE119
Increased redox-active peptide loading on carbon nanotube electrodes
No full textCarbon nanotube (CNT) electrodes for electrochemistry were fabricated from single- and double-walled carbon nanotubes. The electrodes were subsequently covalently loaded with a ferrocene modified α-aminoisobutyric acid peptide, and the electron transfer (ET) capabilities were probed with cyclic voltammetry. The CNT electrodes comprised of double walled CNTs (DWCNTs) demonstrated significantly higher peak current compared to their single walled counterparts (SWCNTs). This is attributed to a higher loading of the ferrocene modified peptide to the outer wall of the nanotube, through the presence of a larger number of defects sites within the sp2 carbon lattice for the DWCNTs. This higher loading was achieved without compromising the ET rate, indicating that DWCNTs may offer a useful alternative to SWCNTs in future electrochemical sensors and biosensors. © 2012 Elsevier Ltd.
