Electronegative low density lipoprotein (LDL(-)) is a minor modified fraction of LDL found in blood. It comprises a heterogeneous population of LDL particles modified by various mechanisms sharing as a common feature increased electronegativity. Modification by oxidation is one of these mechanisms. LDL(-) has inflammatory properties similar to those of oxidized LDL (oxLDL), such as inflammatory...

The magnetic circular dichroism of benzene and indole derivatives was measured down to 190 nM. The following pairs of molecules have magnetic circular dichroisms of the opposite sign in the B(2u) absorption region: aniline and benzonitrile, indene and indoline, indole and 4-aminoindole, and 4-aminoindole and 5-aminoindole. The sign and magnitude of the magnetic circular dichroisms observed are ...

In this communication we propose and also verify through ab initio calculations a new electronic structure principle, viz. the minimum magnetizability principle (MMP), to extend the domain of applicability of the conceptual density functional theory (DFT) 1 in explaining the magnetic interactions and magnetochemistry. This principle may be stated as, “A stable configuration/conformation of a mo...

We report a study of the Schottky barrier for Pb films grown on Si surfaces terminated by various metals (Ag, In, Au, and Pb) to explore the atomic-scale physics of the interface barrier and a means to control the barrier height. Electronic confinement by the Schottky barrier results in quantum well states in the Pb films, which are measured by angle-resolved photoemission. The barrier height i...

The article investigates the effect of rapid thermal annealing ternary GaAs 1-x N x /GaAs solid solutions on distribution nitrogen atoms in crystal lattice. samples are studied by photoluminescence spectroscopy and high-resolution X-ray diffractometry. Due to size electronegativity mismatch arsenic atoms, is incorporated unevenly into Options arrangement lattice before after shown. Keywords: di...
