    A modified embedded atom method interatomic potential for silicon

    No full text
    A semi-empirical interatomic potential for silicon has been developed, based on the modified embedded atom method formalism. This potential describes elastic, structural, point defect, surface, thermal (except melting point), and cluster properties as satisfactorily as any other empirical potential ever developed. When compared to the previously developed MEAM Si potential [M.I. Baskes, J.S. Nelson, A.F. Wright, Phys. Rev. B 40 (1989) 6085], for example, improvements were made in the description of surface relaxations, thermal expansion, and amorphous structure. This potential has the same formalism as already developed MEAM potentials for bcc, fcc, and hcp elements, and can be easily extended to describe various metal-silicon multi-component systems.

    Mathematics Subject Classification: 26A33, 33C20.The paper is devoted to the study of the fractional calculus of the generalized Wright function pΨq(z) defined for z ∈ C, complex ai, bj ∈ C and real αi, βj ∈ R (i = 1, 2, · · · p; j = 1, 2, · · · , q) by the series pΨq (z) It is proved that the Riemann-Liouville fractional integrals and derivative of the Wright function are also the Wright functions but of greater order. Special cases are considered.* The present investigation was partially supported by Belarusian Fundamental Research Fund

    A modified embedded-atom method interatomic potential for germanium

    No full text
    A semi-empirical interatomic potential for germanium has been developed based on the modified embedded-atom method (MEAM) formalism. The new potential describes various fundamental physical properties of germanium: elastic, structural, point defect, surface, thermal properties (except melting point), etc., in better agreement with experimental data or first principles calculations than any other empirical potential ever developed. When compared to the previously developed MEAM Ge potential [M.I. Baskes, J.S. Nelson, A.F. Wright, Phys. Rev. B 40 (1989) 6085], certain improvements are made in descriptions of surface relaxations, point defects, thermal expansion and amorphous structure. The potential has the same formalism as already developed MEAM potentials for bcc, fcc and hcp elements, and can be easily extended to describe various metal-silicon multi-component systems.

    BJ-TSA-9, a Novel Human Tumor-Specific Gene, Has Potential as a Biomarker of Lung Cancer

    No full text
    AbstractUsing bioinformatics, we have identified a novel tumorspecific gene BJ-TSA-9, which has been validated by Northern blot analysis and reverse transcriptionpolymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). BJ-TSA-9 mRNA was expressed in 52.5% (21 of 40) of human lung cancer tissues and was especially higher in lung adenocarcinoma (68.8%). To explore the potential application of BJ-TSA-9 for the detection of circulating cancer cells in lung cancer patients, nested RT-PCR was performed. The overall positive detection rate was 34.3% (24 of 70) in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of patients with various types of lung cancers and was 53.6% (15 of 28) in PBMCs of lung adenocarcinoma patients. In combination with the detection of two known marker genes SCC and LUNX, the detection rate was increased to 81.4%. A follow-up study was performed in 37 patients after surgical removal of tumor mass. Among nine patients with persistent detection of two to three tumor marker transcripts in PBMCs, six patients had recurrence/metastasis. In contrast, 28 patients with transient detection of one tumor marker or without detection of any tumor marker were all in remission. Thus, BJ-TSA-9 may serve as a marker for lung cancer diagnosis and as a marker, in combination with two other tumor markers, for the prediction of the recurrence and prognosis of lung cancer patients

    Estimation of the number of periodic orbits

    No full text
    The main theme of this paper is to estimate, for self-maps f : X --> X of compact polyhedra, the asymptotic Nielsen number N-infinity(f) which is defined to be the growth rate of the sequence {N(f(n))} of the Nielsen numbers of the iterates of f. The asymptotic Nielsen number provides a homotopy invariant lower bound to the topological entropy h(f). To introduce our main tool, the Lefschetz zeta function, we develop the Nielsen theory of periodic orbits. Compared to the existing Nielsen theory of periodic points, it features the mapping torus approach, thus brings deeper geometric insight and simpler algebraic formulation. The important cases of homeomorphisms of surfaces and punctured surfaces are analysed. Examples show that the computation involved is straightforward and feasible. Applications to dynamics, including improvements of several results in the recent literature, demonstrate the usefulness of the asymptotic Nielsen number.MathematicsSCI(E)19ARTICLE1151-18517

    Desain Interior Hotel BJ. Perdana Berkonsep Modern dengan Sentuhan Budaya Pasuruan

    No full text
    Hotel merupakan salah satu bentuk akomodasi yang dikelola secara komersial, yang disediakan bagi setiap orang untuk memperoleh pelayanan, penginapan berikut makanan dan minuman. Provinsi Jawa Timur, sebagai salah satu wilayah tujuan wisata di Indonesia, menawarkan berbagai macam obyek wisata baik obyek wisata alam, budaya, maupun buatan. Salah satu daerah tujuan wisata di Jawa Timur yang menawarkan keindahan alam yaitu pemandangan alam pegunungan yang salah satunya ada di Kota Pasuruan. Oleh karena itu, diperlukannya sarana akomodasi yang baik secara kualitas dan kuantitas. BJ. Perdana merupakan salah satu hotel terbaik di Kota Pasuruan, letak dari hotel tersebut cukup strategis dan banyak diminati oleh pengunjung. Namun sayang interior hotel tersebut belum tertatat cukup baik, dan tidak menyimbolkan bahwa hotel tersebut berada di kota Pasuruan. Pada tugas akhir ini penulis meredsain hotel BJ. Perdana berkonsep modern dengan sentuhan budaya Pasuruan. Penulis juga memberikan informasi mengenai budaya yang ada di kota Pasuruan dengan cara di tuangkan dalam desain interiornya. Dengan menerapkan beberapa bentukan hasil budaya serta warna yang menjadi ciri khas kota Pasuruan. Ini bertujuan agar pengunjung tau akan budaya dan ciri khas dari Kota Pasuruan itu sendiri. Dan juga dapat menjadikan media promosi serta ikut andil dalam program pemerintahan Kota Pasuruan. Dalam mendesain interior restoran diperlukan metode desain. Metode yang digunakan yaitu pengumpulan data, analisa data, konsep dan pengembangan desain, serta desain akhir. Hasil yang diharapkan adalah sebuah desain interior hotel yang menunjang kebudayaan setempat agar dapat melestarikan budaya setempat serta menjadi media promosi kepada para wisatawan yang berkunjung. ========================================================= The hotel is a form of commercially managed accommodation, provided for everyone to get service, with food and drinks. East Java Province, as one of the tourist destinations in Indonesia, offers a variety of attractions both natural attractions, culture, and artificial. One of the tourist destinations in East Java that offers natural beauty that is the natural scenery of the mountains one of which is in Pasuruan. Therefore, the need for good accommodation facilities in quality and quantity. BJ. Perdana is one of the best hotels in Pasuruan City, the location of the hotel is quite strategic and much in demand by visitors. But unfortunately the interior of the hotel has not been recorded well enough, and does not symbolize that the hotel is located in the city of Pasuruan. In this final project the author redesigned the hotel BJ. Perdana modern concept with a touch of Pasuruan culture. The author also provides information about the existing culture in the city of Pasuruan by way of pour in interior design. By applying some formation of cultural and color results that characterize the city of Pasuruan. It aims to let visitors know the culture and characteristics of Pasuruan City itself. And also can make the media campaign and take part in government program of Pasuruan City. In designing the interior design method is required. The method used is data collection, data analysis, concept and design development, and final design. The expected result is a hotel interior design that supports the local culture in order to preserve the local culture and become a media campaign to the tourists who visit
