the main objective of an ecosystem sustainable management is to preserve itscapacity to respond and adapt to current disturbances and/or future changes, and maintain theprovision of environmental goods and services. two very important properties linked to thisobjective are the ecosystem resilience and resistance to disturbance factors. the objective ofthis paper is to recommend conceptual modif...

We theoretically study the optical conductivity of tightbinding model which has two types hopping integrals arranged in Fibonacci sequence. Due to lack translational symmetry, many peak structures appear as well density states. When ratio is large, self-similar structure appears conductivity. This implies that response between high-energy bands related within low-energy bands, should originate ...

We show that topology of the low-energy band structure in bilayer graphene critically depends on mechanical deformations of the crystal which may easily develop in suspended graphene flakes. We describe the Lifshitz transition that takes place in strained bilayers upon splitting the parabolic bands at intermediate energies into several Dirac cones at the energy scale of a few meV. Then, we show...

We report first-principles total-energy electronic-structure calculations in the density-functional theory performed for hexagonally bonded honeycomb sheets consisting of B, N, and C atoms. We find that the ground state of BNC sheets with particular stoichiometry is ferromagnetic. Detailed analyses of energy bands and spin densities unequivocally reveal the nature of the ferromagnetic ordering,...

In the present paper, we have studied immunglobulin (IgG) of epileptic children, migraineous and paralytic patients.  We have compared our results with normal healthy controls. We found that the bands ranges from 1151.94 to 1168.28 cm-1 due to phospholipids (P-O-C ) group appear in some of the migraineous and paralytic patients only. These bands are absent in normal and epileptic patients. The ...

the intermolecular forces between water molecules are of great importance in many areas of chemistry including solvation, solution chemistry, and biochemistry. as a result of this (h2o)n systems have received a great significant of attention, both experimental and theoretical. all calculation of this study are carried out by gaussian 98 soft ware. geometry optimization for each cluster were be ...

Well-defined crystalline PbSe nanocubes and nanospheres have been synthesized through a simple hydrothermal method by using Pb2+- EDTA and Pb2+- oleylamine complexes at 180°C for different reaction times. Composition and morphology of the samples have been characterized by means of XRD and SEM. Gradual release process of Pb2+ from Pb2+-EDTA and Pb2+-oleylamine complexes can adjust the growth ra...

Structural and electronic properties of small magnesium clusters (N ≤ 13) are studied using a first-principles simulation method in conjunction with the density functional theory and generalized gradient correction approximation for the exchange-correlation energy functional. It is observed that the onset of metallization of magnesium clusters is hard to assign since both the s-p hybridization ...

We have successfully synthesized niobium monophosphide and tantalum monophosphide crystals by a chemical vapor transport technique. We report resistivity vs. temperature of both materials in the temperature range from 2 K to 300 K. We have also performed electronic structure calculations and present the band structure and density of states of these two compounds. The calculations show that both...
