The Central Asian Orogenic Belt, or Altaids, is an amalgamation of volcanic arcs and microcontinent blocks that records a complex late Precambrian–Mesozoic accretionary history. Although microcontinents cored by Precambrian basement are proposed to play an integral role in the accretion process, a lack of isotopic data hampers volume estimates of newly produced arc-derived versus old-cratonic c...

The integral of the dynamic component of acceleration over time has been proposed as a measure of energy expenditure in wild animals. We tested that idea by attaching accelerometers to the tails of free-ranging pelagic cormorants (Phalacrocorax pelagicus) and simultaneously estimating energy expenditure using doubly labelled water. Two different formulations of dynamic body acceleration, [vecto...

By means of the spherical functions associated to Gelfand pair \((\mathbb {H}_{n},U(n))\) we define operator \(L+\alpha |T|\), where L denotes Heisenberg sublaplacian and T central element Lie algebra, establish a notion fundamental solution explicitly compute in terms Gauss hypergeometric function. For \(\alpha <n\) use Integral Representation Theorem obtain more detailed expression. Finally, ...

Diamond-Blackfan anemia (DBA) is a rare congenital disease linked to mutations in the ribosomal protein genes rps19, rps24 and rps17. It belongs to the emerging class of ribosomal disorders. To understand the impact of DBA mutations on RPS19 function, we have solved the crystal structure of RPS19 from Pyrococcus abyssi. The protein forms a five alpha-helix bundle organized around a central amph...

The effect of hydrostatic pressure on the secondary structure of recombinant human interferon-gamma (rhIFN-gamma) and its biologically inactive truncated form rhIFN-Delta C15 has been studied using Fourier-transform IR (FTIR) spectroscopy. In situ observation of the pressure-induced changes using the diamond anvil cell shows that the alpha-helical structure is mainly transformed into disordered...

Quantum emitters are an integral component for a broad range of quantum technologies, including quantum communication, quantum repeaters, and linear optical quantum computation. Solid-state color centers are promising candidates for scalable quantum optics due to their long coherence time and small inhomogeneous broadening. However, once excited, color centers often decay through phonon-assiste...

We introduce an exact framework to compute the positive frequency moments $M^{(\alpha)}(\mathbf{q})=\braket{\omega^\alpha}$ of different dynamic properties from imaginary-time quantum Monte Carlo data. As a practical example, we obtain first five structure factor $S(\mathbf{q},\omega)$ uniform electron gas at electronic Fermi temperature based on \emph{ab initio} path integral simulations. find...

Abstract Molybdenum dialkyldithiocarbamate (MoDTC) is widely used as a friction modifier in engine lubricating oil. Under MoDTC lubrication, the and wear behaviors of tungsten-doped diamond-like carbon (W-DLC) films annealed at 100–400 °C were discussed evaluated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force (AFM), Raman spectroscopy. (polymerized alpha olefin) PAO + coefficient all sa...
