We have measured the 1/f noise through the metal–nonmetal transition in carbon black/polymer composites as a function of temperature and doping. At the electronic transition, the resistivity power spectrum Sr varies as Sr;r , with Q52.77, in agreement with classical three-dimensional percolation. At lower temperatures, a crossover to tunneling-dominated transport occurs with Sr ;ln Sr /r . Our ...

A first-principles self-consistent (non-muffin-tin) band-structure calculations on 1T-VSe, is used to analyze some of the transport and optical properties. The material appears to be metallic with characteristic overlaps between the metal d-based and nonmetal p-based bands. These overlaps are found to be sensitively modulated both by the change of the (anomalously high) c/a ratio and by the san...

the zonouz kaolin deposit is located ~15 km northeast of marand, east-azarbaidjan province. based on physical features in field investigations, such as color, five distinct kaolin types including (1) white, (2) lemon, (3) gray, (4) brown, and (5) yellow are distinguished in the deposit. field evidence and petrographic studies indicate that the deposit is genetically close to trachy-andesite roc...

BACKGROUND In an attempt to reduce harm related to gambling problems, an Internet sports betting service provider, bwin Interactive Entertainment, AG (bwin), imposes limits on the amount of money that users can deposit into their online gambling accounts. We examined the effects of these limits on gambling behavior. METHODS We compared (1) gambling behavior of those who exceeded deposit limit...

Dense deposit disease (DDD) is an orphan disease that primarily affects children and young adults without sexual predilection. Studies of its pathophysiology have shown conclusively that it is caused by fluid-phase dysregulation of the alternative pathway of complement, however the role played by genetics and autoantibodies like C3 nephritic factors must be more thoroughly defined if we are to ...

barika gold (and silver) rich massive sulfide deposit is located 18 km east of sardasht, north western part of sanandaj-sirjan metamorphic zone. rock units outcropped in this area are cretaceous metamorphosed volcano-sedimentary rocks in green schist facies, and include association of meta-andesite, meta-tuffite, phyllite and slate rocks, where the meta-andesitic unit (kmv1) is host rock to the...
