Many-body perturbation theory in the GW approximation is currently the most accurate and robust firstprinciples approach to determine the electronic band structure of weakly correlated insulating materials without any empirical input. Recent GW results for ZnO with more careful investigation of the convergence with respect to the number of unoccupied states have led to heated debates regarding ...

Effect of feeding on linseed oil (LO)-enriched Artemia was investigated on growth, survival and stress resistance of tiger barb (Puntius tetrazona) larvae. Larvae were fed by LO-enriched (2.5, 5 and 7.5 %) as well as non-enriched Artemia nauplii for 14 d, followed by 14 d feeding on non-enriched Artemia. Fish fed on enriched nauplii showed significant increase in growth performance at both 14th...

During the development of a new regiospecific synthetic methodology for 1,5 dihydroxy- 9,lO-anthraquinone, it was observed that (anthrufin) preparative TLC of 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8-octahydro-9,lO-dihyd roxy- 1,5-anthracenedione on silica gel produced a well-defined 1:l complex of the dione and an aerial oxidation product of it, the quinone dimethide 1,2,3,4,5,6,7- hexahydro-9,lO-dihydroxy-1 ,5-...

Introduction: The formation and evolution of culture in organizations are related to the learning experiences of their members over time. In this regard, the present study was conducted to empirically investigate the correlation relationship between the Learning Organization (LO) and safety culture concepts in Iran’s nuclear and radiological industries. Material and Methods: A theoretical mode...

Linearized augmented plane wave (LAPW) results are presented for FeO at high pressures using the Generalized Gradient Approximation (GGA) to study the high-spin low-spin transition previously predicted by LAPW with the Local Density Approximation (LDA) and Linear Muffin Tin Orbital (LMTO-ASA) methods within the GGA. We find a first-order transition at a pressure of about 105 GPa for the cubic l...

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the impacts of diets supplemented with different lipid sources on growth performance, body composition, fatty acid profile, and hepatic antioxidant enzyme activity of juvenile black sea bream, Acanthopagrus schlegeli (initial mean weight, 1.1±0.02g). Four isonitrogenous and isolipidic diets were formulated with either fish oil (FO), soybean oil (SO),...

The structural properties of Co2YGe, a Heusler alloy have been evaluated by first principles density functional theory through total energy calculations at 0 K by the full potential linearized augmented plane wave (FP-LAPW) method as implemented in WIEN2K code. The calculated results were compared with the previously reported results. Generalized gradient approximation (GGA) was used to study t...

The degree of esophageal heating during left atrial posterior wall (LAPW) ablation is a powerful predictor injury. Esophageal temperature monitoring has not been shown, however, to reduce injury risk related fibrillation (AF) ablation. proximity modeling based on pre-procedure CT scan using ADAS 3D software (ADAS3D Medical, Barcelona, Spain) novel method identifying locations at high for severe...
