We report on low-temperature (4–320 K) transport properties of TaxN thin films deposited on an amorphous SiO2 substrate. In this work, TaxN thin films were restricted to a narrow range of x: 0.72 x 0.83 yet show considerable and nonmonotonic variation of their transport properties with Ta concentration. This behaviour is consistent with a local minimum in the density of electronic states at the...

There is a mechanism of the Coulomb screening of charging of a localized electronic state located inside a conductor, which was first discussed by G. Mahan, P. Nozieres and C. De Dominicis, and by K. D. Schotte and U. Schotte [1]. They demonstrated that the rate of a one-electron jump 1/Γ, (h̄ = 1) undergoes exponential renormalization due to both the reconstruction of the Fermi seas and the exc...

der folgende text, der unter der betreuung von herrn dr. touraj rahnema entstanden ist, erw?hnt zuerst kurz die bestimmenden züge der literarischen schule, die im europ?ischen kulturraum allgemein als romantik verstanden wird, will aber darüber hinaus die romantik als eine art lebenshaltung und kunstverst?ndnis begreifen, die unabh?ngig von einer bestimmten kunstperiode genauso auch in ?stliche...

mycorrhizal status of pistachio seedling in kerman province in regard to region and some soil properties and also symbiotic potential of sorghum, clover and onion isolates with pistachio seedling were evaluated in this research. 72 samples of pistachio nurseries and 67 samples of sorghum, clover and onion farms were gathered from kerman province and mycorrhizal colonization percent of their roo...

In the first part of these lecture notes we introduce the phenomenological equations for describing the heat and charge transport in thermoelectric samples. We discuss the solution obtained for various boundary conditions that are appropriate for the homogeneous and inhomogeneous thermoelectrics. In the second part we develop the formalism for a linear-response many-body description of the tran...

The ecotropic murine leukemia virus (E-MuLV) receptor expressed on Mus dunni tail fibroblast (MDTF) cells is a receptor for all E-MuLVs with the notable of Moloney murine leukemia virus (Mo-MuLV). Substitution of isoleucine for valine at position 214 in the third extracellular region (the putative E-MuLV binding site) of the MDTF receptor molecule allows this molecule to function as a Mo-MuLV r...

In humans, the elderly and immunocompromised are at greatest risk for disseminated West Nile virus (WNV) infection, yet the immunologic basis for this remains unclear. We demonstrated previously that B cells and IgG contributed to the defense against disseminated WNV infection (Diamond, M.S., B. Shrestha, A. Marri, D. Mahan, and M. Engle. 2003. J. Virol. 77:2578-2586). In this paper, we address...

James R. Mahan Plant Stress and Water Conservation Laboratory, USDA-ARS, 3810 Fourth Street, Lubbock, TX 79415-3397 Pyrithiobac control of Palmer amaranth on the Texas Southern High Plains was correlated previously with temperature at the time of application. In the present study, the thermal dependence of pyrithiobac efficacy was used to define a thermal application range (TAR) for postemergen...

Network analysis is a methodology that helps understand complex phenomena by visualizing member interactions. In the context of Eastern Jin, Sixteen Kingdoms, Song, Northern Wei period, network can shed light on position Paekche and Koguryŏ analyzing negotiation networks. While existing studies have focused negotiations between these states China, few visualized entire or compared positions wit...
