The ability of dead cells of endophytic Drechslera hawaiiensis of Morus alba L. grown in heavy metals habitats for bioremoval of cadmium (Cd2+), copper (Cu2+), and lead (Pb2+) in aqueous solution was evaluated under different conditions. Whereas the highest extent of Cd2+ and Cu2+ removal and uptake occurred at pH 8 as well as Pb2+ occurred at neutral pH (6-7) after equilibrium time 10 min. Ini...

We present a microscopic theory of the anomalous Hall effect (AHE) in metallic multiband ferromagnets, which accounts for all scattering-independent contributions, i.e., both the intrinsic and the so-called side jump. For a model of Gaussian disorder, the AHE is expressed solely in terms of the material's electronic band structure. Our theory handles systematically the interband-scattering cohe...

The spectral structure of the earth tides which have been observed during one year by an Askania gravimeter at Kyoto, and that of the corresponding theoretical tides on a rigid earth, were compared to determine the tidal factor of gravity and the phase lag with a high precision. A band-pass filter that has dominant responses only for semidiurnal or diurnal frequencies was applied to both of the...
