Thanks to its unprecedented spatial resolution, the Hubble Space Telescope has ended a 20-year long stalemate by detecting the dynamical signature of nuclear supermassive black holes (SBHs) in a sizeable number of nearby galaxies. These detections have revealed the existence of a symbiotic relationship between SBHs and their hosts, changing the way we view SBH and galaxy formation. In this cont...

We fabricated multi-layered graphene/MoS2 heterostructured devices by positioning mechanically exfoliated bulk graphite and single-crystalline 2H-MoS2 onto Au metal pads on a SiO2/Si substrate via a contamination-free dry transfer technique. We also studied the electrical transport properties of Au/MoS2 junction devices for systematic comparison. A previous work has demonstrated the existence o...

The mechanism of generation of the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy SBH of a black hole in the Sakharov’s induced gravity is proposed. It is suggested that the ”physical” degrees of freedom, which explain the entropy SBH , form only a finite subset of the standard Rindler-like modes defined outside the black hole horizon. The entropy SR of the Rindler modes, or entanglement entropy, is always ultravi...

An important combinatorial problem, motivated by DNA sequencing in molecular biology, is the reconstruction of a sequence over a small finite alphabet from the collection of its probes (the sequence spectrum), obtained by sliding a fixed sampling pattern over the sequence. Such construction is required for Sequencing-by-Hybridization (SBH), a novel DNA sequencing technique based on an array (SB...

The expected number of n-long DNA sequences, which are consistent with a given SBH spectrum, grows exponentially with n. In this work we show that by incorporating data from a small number of restriction enzyme digestion assays (REs), the number of consistent sequences decreases signiicantly. We describe computational techniques that enable the reconstruction of sequences consistent with hybrid...

Carryover effects of feeding soybean hulls (SBH) on toxic tall fescue [Schedonorus arundinaceus (Schreb.)] pasture and effects of postgraze steroid implantation on performance and physiology of steers were evaluated in a 2-yr experiment. Following grazing, 36 steers were assigned to 9 pens, and pens were randomly assigned 3 to the following pasture-pen combinations: 1) feeding SBH on pasture an...

Hawking radiation is viewed as a tunnelling process. In this way the effect of selfgravitation gives rise to semiclassical corrections to the entropy of the (2 + 1) BTZ black hole. The modified entropy, due to specific modelling of the self-gravitation effect, of the (2 + 1) BTZ black hole is evaluated. To first order in ω which is a shell of energy radiated outwards the event horizon of the BT...

The statistical-mechanical origin of the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy SBH in the induced gravity is discussed. In the framework of the induced gravity models the Einstein action arises as the low energy limit of the effective action of quantum fields. The induced gravitational constant is determined by the masses of the heavy constituents. We established the explicit relation between statistical ...

The Schottky barrier heights (SBH) for -Al2O3(0001)/Ni(111) interfaces have been examined using the first-principles pseudopotential method, and compared with our previous results of Al2O3(0001)/Cu(111) interfaces. Configurations with different rigid-body translations parallel to the interface for both the O-terminated and Al-terminated interfaces are examined to clarify the influence of the mi...

We previously detected by linkage analysis in segregating populations derived from crosses between the Sabra hypertension-prone rat (SBH/y) and the hypertension-resistant strain (SBN/y) two QTLs for salt susceptibility on chromosome 1, with sex specificity: in males SS1a and SS1b, and in females SS1b only. To provide support for a functional role of these QTLs in relation to hypertension, we co...
