Recently developed fundamental measure density functional theory (FMT) is used to study binary hard sphere (HS) complexes in crystalline phases. By comparing the excess free energy, pressure, and phase diagram, we show that the fundamental measure functional yields good agreements to the available simulation results of AB, AB2, and AB13 crystals. Furthermore, we use this functional to study the...

Lahey (2014) provides a thoughtful and scholarly discussion of our review of the research on the potential utility of callous-unemotional (CU) traits for designating a distinct subgroup of children and adolescents with severe conduct problems. In this reply, we attempt to clarify several issues raised in Lahey's commentary. Specifically, by focusing largely on only 1 part of the research review...

The asymmetric unit of the title complex, [Cu(C(14)H(17)NO(4))(C(12)H(8)N(2))]·H(2)O, contains two independent Cu(II) complex mol-ecules and two uncoordinated water mol-ecules. In each complex mol-ecule, the Cu atom is O,N,O'-chelated by the tridentate Schiff base ligand and N,N'-chelated by the 1,10-phenanthroline ligand in a distorted square-pyramidal geometry. The Cu-N bond distances in the ...

The aim of this paper was to further explore the role of callous–unemotional traits (CU) and empathy in bullying within 529 middle school children. We tried to advance limits of previous studies by accounting for a measure of victimization and considering age-related effects. Our results indicated that in younger students (mean age = 11 years and 8 months) the uncaring dimension of CU traits we...

Articolul prezintă o modelare recurentă pentru cinematica unui robot paralel Hexapod. Controlat de şase forţe, prototipul robotului paralel este un system mecanic spaţial cu şase grade de libertate şi cu şase lanţuri cinematice de lungimi constante care se conectează la platforma mobilă. Cunoscând poziţia şi mişcarea generală a platformei, se dezvoltă problema de cinematică inversă şi se determ...

In this paper, we present a thorough stress analysis of the Cu-Zr metallic-glass composite with embedded B2 particles subject to a martensitic transformation. Within the framework of the Eshelby theory, we are able to explain, in a quantitative manner, (1) the formation of three types of shear bands with distinct morphologies as observed experimentally in the severely deformed Cu-Zr metallic-gl...

BACKGROUND Children with callous-unemotional (CU) traits, a proposed precursor to adult psychopathy, are characterized by impaired emotion recognition, reduced responsiveness to others' distress, and a lack of guilt or empathy. Reduced attention to faces, and more specifically to the eye region, has been proposed to underlie these difficulties, although this has never been tested longitudinally...

The title compound, [Cu(NH3)4-(μ2-NC)-Pd(CN)3], is a binuclear copper(II)palladium(II) complex, in which the Cu(II) coordination is defined by four ammine ligands and one bridging cyanide ligand. The Cu-N bond lengths in the base of the resulting CuN5 pyramid are in the range 2.016 (3)-2.024 (3) Å and the apical Cu-N( C) distance is 2.385 (4) Å. Based on the τ parameter, the shape of the coordi...

Twenty two potato accessions from USA were evaluated for nutrient contents. Two Bangladeshi varieties were also included for comparison. Nutritional analyses were performed in the Department of Agricultural Chemistry, BAU during November, 2014 to April, 2015. Considering macro nutrient content, the highest values of N, P, K and S were found in the accession AC 10062 whereas Ca and Mg contents w...
