The giant monopole resonance (GMR) has been investigated in the even-A Cd and Pb isotopes 112−124Cd, and 204−208Pb, with the aim of obtaining a confirmatory “experimental” value for the asymmetry term in nuclear incompressibility, Kτ , and to test the Mutual Enhancement Magicity (MEM) effect in nuclear incompressibilities. The latter was advanced as a possible explanation of the puzzling “softn...

The giant magnetoresistance (GMR) of ferromagnetic bilayers with a superconducting contact (F1/F2/S) is calculated in ballistic and diffusive regimes. As in spin-valve, it is assumed that the magnetization in the two ferromagnetic layers F1 and F2 can be changed from parallel to antiparallel. It is shown that the GMR defined as the change of conductance between the two magnetic configurations i...

The breathing-mode giant monopole resonance (GMR) is studied within the framework of the relativistic mean-field theory using the Generator Coordinate Method (GCM). The constrained incompressibility and the excitation energy of isoscalar giant monopole states are obtained for finite nuclei with various sets of Lagrangian parameters. A comparison is made with the results of nonrelativistic const...

Coalition analysis is extended to incorporate uncertain preference into three stability concepts, general metarationality (GMR), symmetric metarationality (SMR), and sequential stability (SEQ) under the paradigm of the graph model for conflict resolution. As a follow-up analysis in the graph model, coalition analysis aims to assess whether equilibriums under individual calculations are vulnerab...

The influence of Al and Si impurity layers on the giant magnetoresistance (GMR) and the magnetic properties of Fe/V/Fe(110) trilayers is investigated. The calculations are performed by employing the spinpolarized Kubo-Greenwood approach and the screened Korringa-Rostoker method for layered systems. All calculations are carried out with a fully-relativistic version. Therefore, we are able to con...

Based on a tight-binding model and a recursive Green's function technique, spin-depentent ballistic transport through tinny graphene sheets (flakes) is studied. The main interest is focussed on: electrical conductivity, giant magnetoresistance (GMR) and shot noise. It is shown that when graphene flakes are sandwiched between two ferromagnetic electrodes, the resulting GMR coefficient may be qui...

The purpose of this investigation was to 1) evaluate the relative accuracy of the Sokoloff and Patlak tracer kinetic models in estimating glucose metabolic rate (GMR) in the presence and absence of insulin; 2) evaluate the effect of nutritional state on the lumped constant (LC); and 3) compare the kinetics of 2-fluoro-2-deoxy-d-[14C]glucose (FDG) and 2-deoxy-d-[3H]glucose (DG) membrane transpor...

The pharmacokinetics (PK) and safety of single-dose buparlisib (30 mg) were assessed in subjects with mild to severe hepatic impairment (n = 6 each) relative to healthy controls (n = 13). Blood samples were collected until 336 hours postdose and evaluated by liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry. PK parameters (including area under the curve [AUC∞ ] and Cmax ) were derived using noncom...

Switching fabrics with distributed control for scalable routers have been proposed recently [7]. Such a fabric consists of small routing units (RU’s) interconnected by multistage-based connecting components (CC’s) according to grid structures, thereby referred to as a grid-oriented, multistage-connected RU’s, dubbed GMR, and is a direct interconnect with distributed routing. Performance of GMR ...

The JAK/STAT pathway exerts pleiotropic effects on a wide range of developmental processes in Drosophila. Four key components have been identified: Unpaired, a secreted ligand; Domeless, a cytokine-like receptor; Hopscotch, a JAK kinase; and Stat92E, a STAT transcription factor. The identification of additional components and regulators of this pathway remains an important issue. To this end, w...
