The Magnetoelectric (ME) effect in solids is a prominent cross correlation phenomenon, in which the electric field (E) controls the magnetization (M) and the magnetic field (H) controls the electric polarization (P). A rich variety of ME effects and their potential in practical applications have been investigated so far within the transition-metal compounds. Here, we report a possible way to re...

New continuous group transforms, together with their discretization over a lattice of any density and admissible symmetry, are defined for a general compact simple Lie groups of rank 2 ≤ n < ∞. Rank 1 transforms are known. Rank 2 exposition of Cand S-transforms is in the literature. The E-transforms appear here for the first time.

ii To my mom and dad for giving me love and support, no matter the distance and no matter the circumstance. I have been able to succeed in life only because of your continued guidance and encouragement along the way. To Ryan and Sabin for leaving home to be with me on this adventure in Iowa. I would not have been able to achieve what I have achieved here without you both. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I...

Plumbylenes are reactive intermediates whose discovery and characterizations are of great significance. Here, ten novel plumbylenes are introduced and characterised. A comparison is made between novel 1,4-di(R)tetrazol-5-plumbylenes (IR) with their corresponding 1,3-di(R) isomers (IIR), at DFT (R = H, Me, Et, i-Pro, and t-Bu). Every one of our plumbylenes (IR or IIR) appears less stable, with a...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of the addition of antioxidants (vitamin E, β- mercaptoethanol and their combination) to semen extender.  Progressive motility, viability and pH of fresh ram semen were examined. Ejaculate samples were collected with artificial vagina from three Ghezel-Merinose rams (3 years old) during non- breeding reproduction season. Semen was diluted with a...
