Stabilizations and atomic level quadrupole coupling constant (CQ) properties have been investigated for graphene–like monolayers (G–monolayers) of boron nitride (BN), boron phosphide (BP), aluminum nitride (AlN), and aluminum phosphide (AlP) structures. To this aim, density functional theory (DFT) calculations have been performed to optimize the model structures and also to evaluate the CQ para...

If F (x, y) ∈ Z[x, y] is an irreducible binary form of degree k ≥ 3 then a theorem of Darmon and Granville implies that the generalized superelliptic equation F (x, y) = z has, given an integer l ≥ max{2, 7 − k}, at most finitely many solutions in coprime integers x, y and z. In this paper, for large classes of forms of degree k = 3, 4, 6 and 12 (including, heuristically, “most” cubic forms), w...

Density functional theory ,(DFT) calculations have been performed to investigate the properties ofcarbon decorated (C-decorated) models of boron nitride (BN) nanocones. To this aim, the apex andtip of nanocone have been substituted by the carbon atoms to represent the C-decorated models. Theresults indicated that dipole moments and energy gaps could reveal the effects of C-decorations onthe pro...

Using density functional theory and generalized gradient approximation for exchange and correlation, we present theoretical analysis of the electronic structure of recently synthesized graphyne and its boron nitride analog (labeled as BN-yne). The former is composed of hexagonal carbon rings joined by C-chains, while the latter is composed of hexagonal BN rings joined by C-chains. We have explo...

The braid group Bn, endowed with Artin’s presentation, admits two distinguished involutions. One is the anti-automorphism rev : Bn → Bn, v 7→ v̄, defined by reading braids in the reverse order (from right to left instead of left to right). Another one is the conjugation τ : x 7→ ∆x∆ by the generalized half-twist (Garside element). More generally, the involution rev is defined for all Artin group...

Research has identified abnormal emotion regulation (ER) as an underlying mechanism in the onset and maintenance of eating disorders. Yet, it still remains unclear whether different forms ER, adaptive maladaptive strategies, are similar across categories A systematic review meta-analysis were carried out to look at ER differences between anorexia nervosa (AN) bulimia (BN), two common disorder p...

Adsorption of transition atoms on a (8,0) zigzag single-walled boron nitride (BN) nanotube has been investigated using density-functional theory methods. Main focuses have been placed on configurations corresponding to the located minima of the adsorbates, the corresponding binding energies, and the modified electronic properties of the BN nanotubes due to the adsorbates. We have systemically s...

Monolayer epitaxial graphene (EG), grown on the Si face of SiC, is an advantageous material for a variety of electronic and optical applications. EG forms as a single crystal over millimeter-scale areas and consequently, the large scale single crystal can be utilized as a template for growth of other materials. In this work, we present the use of EG as a template to form millimeter-scale amorph...

Bayesian Networks (BN) provides a robust probabilistic method of reasoning under uncertainty. They have been successfully applied in a variety of real-world tasks but they have received little attention in the area of load-frequency control (LFC). In practice, LFC systems use proportional-integral controllers. However since these controllers are designed using a linear model, the nonlinearities...
