We demonstrate that the interface structure has a significant influence on the magnetic state of MnGa/Co films consisting of L1(0)-MnGa on face-centered-cubic Co(001) surface. We reveal an antiferromagnetic to ferromagnetic magnetization reversal as a function of the lateral lattice constant. The magnetization reversal mainly originates from localized states and weak hybridization at interface ...

We report the implementation of a fully relativistic time dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) method for carrying out x-ray absorption spectroscopy calculations for extended systems. This is the first time that a TDDFT simulation of x-ray absorption in extended systems has featured a full potential ground state calculation. We prove that this unusual feature of the TDDFT implementation ...

In important papers on cake-cutting – one of the key areas in fair division and resource allocation – the measuretheoretical fundamentals are not fully correctly given. It is not clear (i) which family of sets should be taken for the pieces of cake, (ii) which set-functions should be used for evaluating the pieces, and (iii) which is the relationship between various continuity properties appear...

Traditionally, strawberry fruit has been used as a medicinal agent to nourish the skin and blood, benefits kidney treat weakness, fatigue, anaemia, inflammation and cancer. Strawberry products (cake and biscuits) prepared from fragaria fruit puree are more beneficial because of antioxidant activity attributed to higher anthocyanin and ascorbic acid content. An attempt has been made to develop v...

AIM This study was carried out to investigate the effect of incorporation of different level of walnut cake in concentrate mixture on in vitro dry matter degradation in order to determine its level of supplementation in ruminant ration. MATERIALS AND METHODS Walnut cake was used @ 0, 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30% level to formulate an iso-nitrogenous concentrate mixtures and designated as T1, T2, T3...

Under optimal freeze-drying conditions, solutions exhibit a cake-like porous structure. However, if the solution temperature is higher than the glass transition temperature of the maximally freeze-concentrated phase (Tg') during drying phase, the glassy matrix undergoes viscous flow, resulting in cake collapse. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effect of cake collapse on t...

We numerically examine colloidal particles driven over a muffin tin substrate. Previous studies of this model identified a variety of commensurate and incommensurate static phases in which topological defects can form domain walls, ordered stripes, superlattices, or disordered patchy regimes as a function of the filling fraction. Here, we show that the addition of an external drive to these sta...

in this research, different concentrations of xanthan and lepidium perfoliatum seed gums (0.1, 0.2 and 0.3%) were used to improve the quality and shelf-life of chiffon cake. for this purpose, specific gravity and apparent viscosity of batter, and the volume, specific volume, moisture, sensory and texture properties, crumb and crust color were examined. to investigate the effect of gums on the s...

OBJECTIVE Fat intake, especially monounsaturated fatty acid (MUFA), has been liberalized in diabetic diets to preserve HDL cholesterol and improve glycemic control, yet the exact sources have not been clearly defined. Therefore, we assessed the effect of mixed nut consumption as a source of vegetable fat on serum lipids and HbA(1c) in type 2 diabetes. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS A total of 11...

In this paper we consider the problem of chore division, which is closely related to a classical question, due to Steinhaus [7], of how to cut a cake fairly. We focus on constructive solutions, i.e., those obtained via a well-defined procedure or algorithm. Among the many notions of fairness is envy-freeness: an envy-free cake division is a set of cuts and an allocation of the pieces that gives...
