Magnetic correlations in all four phases of pure and doped vanadium sesquioxide (V2O3) have been examined by magnetic thermal-neutron scattering. Specifically, we have studied the antiferromagnetic and paramagnetic phases of metallic V22yO3 , the antiferromagnetic insulating and paramagnetic metallic phases of stoichiometric V2O3 , and the antiferromagnetic and paramagnetic phases of insulating...

macrobentos frequency and biomass was investigated in the gorgan bay in 2011. five sampling sites were chosen to collect benthos and sediment from the bay using a van veen grab sampler. samples were collected seasonally. macrobenthos were indentified and their biomass was recorded. sediment heavy metals concentration were measured using atomic absorption spectroscopy. a total of 11 families bel...

Metal ions play a fundamental role in the chemistry of life. The understanding of the molecular bases of the living process requires the knowledge of the correlations existing between metal ions and the genome and the derived -omes: transcriptome, proteome, and metabolome. An indispensable step on this way is the characterization of the coordination environment of metal ions present and the ide...

In this review, we discuss the basic concepts related to (co-)evaporation and (co)sputtering based fabrication methods and the electrical properties of polymer-metal nanocomposite films. Within the organic-inorganic hybrid nanocomposites research framework, the field related to metal-polymer nanocomposites is attracting much interest. In fact, it is opening pathways for engineering flexible com...

Related commodity markets have two characteristics: (i) they may follow similar volatility processes; and (ii) such markets are frequently represented by a market aggregate or index. Indices are used to represent the performance and time series properties of a group of markets. An important issue regarding the time series properties of an index is how it reflects the time series properties of i...

We present an approach for calculating the electronic structure and transport properties of nanoscopic conductors that takes into account the dynamical correlations of strongly interacting d or f electrons by combining density-functional theory calculations with the dynamical mean-field theory. While the densityfunctional calculation yields a static mean-field description of the weakly interact...

Increasing drug-resistant infections have drawn research interest towards examining environmental bacteria and the discovery that many factors, including elevated metal conditions, contribute to proliferation of antibiotic resistance (AR). This study examined 90 garden soils from Western Australia to evaluate predictions of antibiotic resistance genes from total metal conditions by comparing th...
