It is demonstrated that thermally induced longitudinal spin fluctuations (LSF) play an important role in itinerant Co3Mn2Ge at elevated temperature. The effect of LSF taken into account during ab initio calculations via a simple model for the corresponding entropy contribution. We show magnetic leads to appearance medium size local moment on Co atoms. As consequence, this renormalization exchan...

The objective of the current research was to investigate the pattern of subcutaneous adipose tissue growth during Peking duck (Anas platyrhynchos) early development and to determine the reasons for regional differences. The morphological characteristics in 5 regions of subcutaneous tissue, including the neck area (NSF), chest area (CSF), lower abdomen area (ASF), back area (BSF), and leg area (...

It has been proposed that distinct neural circuits are activated by reading Japanese ideograms (Kanji) and phonograms (Kana). By measuring high-density event-related potentials, we recently reported that spatial frequency (SF) information is responsible for the dissociation between Kanji and Kana reading. In particular, we found close links between Kana and low SF (LSF) information and between ...

The effects of some leguminous seed flour (LSF) on the viscoelastic properties wheat, maize and cassava flours were investigated. aim work was to evaluate effect LSF pasting characteristics flours. There significant differences in proximate composition used this study. Three namely Brachystegia eurycoma, Detarium microcarpum, Mucuna sloanei added differently at 0 2% dry weight bases, 0% additio...

Abstract Joule-heating reactors have the higher energy efficiency and product selectivity compared with based on radiative heating. Current are constructed electrically-conductive metals or carbon materials, therefore suffer from stability issue due to presence of corrosive oxidizing gases during high-temperature reactions. In this study, chemically-stable (La 0.80 Sr 0.20 ) 0.95 FeO 3 (LSF)/Gd...

The aim of our work was to provide a robust method for evaluating imaging performance of positron emission tomography (PET) systems and particularly to estimate the modulation transfer function (MTF) using the line spread function (LSF) method. A novel plane source was prepared using thin layer chromatography (TLC) of a fluorine-18-fluorodeoxyglucose ((18)F-FDG) solution. The source was placed ...

Sleep deprivation induces acute inflammation and increased glucocorticosteroids in vertebrates, but effects from fragmented, or intermittent, sleep are poorly understood. Considering the latter is more representative of sleep apnea in humans, we investigated changes in proinflammatory (IL-1β, TNF-α) and anti-inflammatory (TGF-β1) cytokine gene expression in the periphery (liver, spleen, fat, an...

Nanostructured functional oxides play an important role in enabling clean energy technologies and novel memory processor devices. Using thin-film La0.6Sr0.4FeO3 (LSF) as a model system, the utility of exsolution fabricating self-assembled metal oxide nanocomposites with tunable functionalities is shown. Exsolution triggers formation metallic iron (Fe0) nanoparticles, Ruddlesden–Popper domains, ...
