Cr3Al shows semiconductor-like behavior, attributed to a combination of antiferromagnetism and chemical ordering. We present a detailed study of chemical ordering in Cr3Al. Using density functional theory within the Korringa Kohn Rostoker (KKR) formalism, we consider five possible Cr3Al structures. The chemically ordered, rhombohedrally distorted X-phase has the lowest energy and should therefo...

Analyzing central bank communication during financial crises, we draw on a surprisingly informative parallel between management of natural disasters such as earthquakes on one hand, and the corresponding communication infrastructure and social interaction during financial turmoil, on the other. The role of social and emotional behavior thereof points to the importance of interpersonal comm...

This work presents an ab initio study of the effect a small addition third element III and IV groups on elastic magnetoelastic properties Fe75Ga25 alloy. The dependencies tetragonal modulus C', constant –b1, magnetostrictive λ001 concentration Z-element in cubic crystal structures A2 D03 were obtained with help density functional theory magnetic torque method Fe75Ga25-xZx (Z = Al, Ge, Si) alloy...

Cr3Al shows semiconductor-like behavior which has been attributed to a combination of antiferromagnetism and chemical ordering of the Cr and Al atoms on the bcc sublattice. This article presents a detailed theoretical and experimental study of the chemical ordering in Cr3Al. Using density functional theory within the KorringaKohn-Rostoker (KKR) formalism, we consider five possible structures wi...

Here, we report on GEO-D03, a DNA vaccine that co-expresses non-infectious HIV-1 virus-like particles (VLPs) and the human cytokine, granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF). The virus-like particles display the native gp160 form of the HIV-1 Envelope glycoprotein (Env) and are designed to elicit antibody against the natural form of Env on virus and virus-infected cells. The DN...

The non-oriented Fe-6.5wt.%Si alloy cast strip with a width of 100 mm and thickness 1.7 was prepared by the top side-pouring twin-roll-casting (TSTRC) process. surface quality air-cooled water-cooled good. Compared ingot, has fine solidification structure exhibits certain plasticity at room temperature. Microhardness, XRD, TEM investigated ordered degree alloys three different cooling methods. ...

We conduct a laboratory experiment that tests two fundamental predictions unique to salience theory. If an agent purchases one of two vertically differentiated products, salience theory makes the following two distinct predictions. First, it hypothesizes that a higher expected price level for both products shifts demand toward the more expensive, high-quality product. Second, it predicts that d...

Behavioral economics struggles to explain why people sometimes evaluate outcomes separately (narrow bracketing of mental accounts) and sometimes jointly (broad bracketing). We develop a theory of endogenous bracketing, where people set goals to tackle self-control problems. Goals induce reference points that make substandard performance painful. Evaluating goals in a broadly bracketed mental ac...
