The effects of substituents on the symmetry and the nature of halogen bonds in [N∙∙∙X∙∙∙N]+-type systems are presented for the YC5H4N∙∙∙X∙∙∙NC5H5 (Y = NO2, CN, H, CH3, OCH3, OH, NH2, X = Cl, Br, I) complexes. Some structural parameters, energy data and electronic properties were explored with...

Let denote by Fk,n the nth k-Fibonacci number where Fk,n = kFk,n−1+Fk,n−2 for n 2 with initial conditions Fk,0 = 0, Fk,1 = 1, we may derive a functionalequation f(k, x) = kf(k, x − 1) + f(k, x − 2). In this paper, we solve thisequation and prove its Hyere-Ulam stability in the class of functions f : N×R ! X,where X is a real Banach space.

Warm dark matter (WDM) might more easily account for small scale clustering measurements than the heavier particles typically invoked in Λ cold dark matter (ΛCDM) cosmologies. In this paper, we consider a ΛWDM cosmology in which sterile neutrinos νs, with a mass ms of roughly 1-100 keV, are the dark matter. We use the diffuse X-ray spectrum (total minus resolved point source emission) of the An...

Recent observations of atmospheric neutrinos and especially their zenithangle dependence , strongly suggest that muon neutrinos maximally mix with the tau neutrinos. Motivated by this observation and recent theoretical work on neutrino mass models , we explored 3 the implications of imposing the constraint that two neutrino flavors (which for definiteness we take to be νμ and ντ ) are similarly...

We consider the possibility of constraining decaying dark matter by looking out through the Milky Way halo. Specifically we use Chandra blank sky observations to constrain the parameter space of sterile neutrinos. We find that a broad band in parameter space is still open, leaving the sterile neutrino as an excellent dark matter candidate. Subject headings: dark matter — elementary particles — ...

Rectified images are needed for proper depth map estimation. In our solution, we used chessboard calibration pattern and corners extraction algorithms. First step was to capture independent sequences for each camera and find chessboard corners coordinates. Coordinates obtained from every sequence was averaged to eliminate noise influence. Then intrinsic matrices (I) and distortion parameters (D...

Orbital-free (OF) density functional theory (DFT) directly solves for the electron density rather than the wave function of many electron systems, greatly simplifying and enabling large scale first principles simulations. However, the required approximate noninteracting kinetic energy density functionals and local electron-ion pseudopotentials severely restrict the general applicability of conv...

OBJECTIVE To compare sterility and microbial (bacteria and fungi) load in the outer part of hyperbaric bupivacaine (Neocaína®) in ampoule and bupivacaine in vial, in conventional and sterile pack formulations. METHODS The sterile packs were divided into two groups: G1 (n=16) with ampoules and G2 (n=16) with vials. Conventional formulations were divided into two groups, being G3 (n=16) with am...
