Nonlocal quasiparticles in correlated quantum materials can exhibit the proximity effect. For instance, metal superconductor hybrid systems, leaking of Cooper pairs to metallic region induces superconducting correlations a standard metal. This paper explores effects charge density wave (CDW) on using attractive Hubbard model, which harbors CDW state at half filling. Our fully self-consistent ca...

This paper aims to develop a model that assists the international retailer in selecting the country that maximizes the degree of fit between the retailer’s goals and the country characteristics in his initial internationalization move. A two-stage multi criteria decision model is designed integrating the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Goal Programming. Ethical, cultural, geographic and ec...

IMPORTANCE Nearly 80% of antibiotics in the United States are sold for use in livestock feeds. The manure produced by these animals contains antibiotic-resistant bacteria, resistance genes, and antibiotics and is subsequently applied to crop fields, where it may put community members at risk for antibiotic-resistant infections. OBJECTIVE To assess the association between individual exposure t...

IV-VI materials are some of the most efficient bulk thermoelectric due to their proximity soft-mode phase transitions, which leads low lattice thermal conductivity. It has been shown that conductivity PbTe can be considerably reduced by bringing closer transition e.g. via expansion. However, effect soft phonon modes on electronic properties such system remains unknown. Using first principles ca...

The best approximation problem in a hyperconvex metric space consists of finding conditions for given set-valued mappings F andG and a setX such that there is a point x0 ∈ X satisfying d G x0 , F x0 ≤ d x, F x0 for x ∈ X. When G I, the identity mapping, and when the set X is compact, best approximation theorems for mappings in hyperconvex metric spaces are given for the single-valued case in 1–...

Many algorithms have to deal with multiple representations of the same object. The process of aligning these representations is called registration. In this paper we present a new approach for the registration of free-form surfaces which is not based on finding closest points. Instead, our algorithm takes advantage of the graphics hardware and uses the depth buffer for determining the distance ...

The proximity relations inherent in triangulations of geometric data can be exploited in the implementation of nearest-neighbour search procedures. This is relevant to applications such as terrain analysis, cartography and robotics, in which triangulations may be used to model the spatial data. Here we describe neighbourhood search procedures within constrained Delaunay triangulations of the ve...

in this work, we define fuzzy soft ($fs$) matrices and theiroperations which are more functional to make theoretical studies inthe $fs$-set theory. we then define products of $fs$-matrices andstudy their properties. we finally construct a $fs$-$max$-$min$decision making method which can be successfully applied to theproblems that contain uncertainties.

in this paper, using the best proximity theorems for an extensionof brosowski's theorem. we obtain other results on farthest points. finally, wedene the concept of e- farthest points. we shall prove interesting relationshipbetween the -best approximation and the e-farthest points in normed linearspaces (x; ||.||). if z in w is a e-farthest point from an x in x, then z is also a-best ...
