LaCoO3 displays two broad anomalies in the DC magnetic susceptibility chi(DC), occurring, respectively, around 50 K and 500 K. We have investigated the first of them within the 10 K < T < RT temperature range using Co K alpha(1) x-ray absorption spectrosco ...
The role of long range dispersion forces plays a significant role in the adsorption of weakly chemisorbed molecules, as demonstrated by our first-principles calculations with the van der Waals density functional (vdW-DF) applied to the model system salicyl ...
The 174-kb virulence plasmid pMUM001 in Mycobacterium ulcerans epidemic strain Agy99 harbors three very large and homologous genes that encode giant polyketide synthases (PKS) responsible for the synthesis of the lipid toxin mycolactone. Deeper investigati ...
NOVELTY - The micro-array device has several micro-locations (3) associated with a preset DNA sequence. Several micro-sensors are positioned corresponding to the micro-locations. The micro-sensors output electrical signals indicating the absorption of ultr ...

Motivated by the recent report of broken time-reversal symmetry and zero momentum magnetic scattering in underdoped cuprates, we investigate under which circumstances orbital currents circulating inside a unit cell might be stabilized in extended Hubbard m ...
Regulatory networks involving different cell types control inflammation, morphogenesis and tissue homeostasis. Cell-type-specific transcriptional profiling offers a powerful tool for analyzing such cross-talk but is often hampered by mingling of cells with ...
This paper is motivated by a method used for DNA sequencing by hybridization presented in [Jacek Blazewicz, Marta Kasprzak, Computational complexity of isothernnic DNA sequencing by hybridization, Discrete Appl. Math. 154 (5) (2006) 718-7291. This paper pr ...
We have performed first-principle calculations of the electronic structure and exchange couplings for the nanotube compound Na2V3O7 using the local-density approximation Hubbard parameter U approach. Our results show that while the intraring exchange inter ...
When searching for loci possibly under selection in the genome, an alternative to population genetics theoretical models is to establish allele distribution models for each locus to directly correlate allelic frequencies and environmental variables like pr ...
We performed bulk-sensitive x-ray absorption (XAS) in the partial fluorescence yield (PFY) mode, and resonant x-ray emission (RXES) measurements of the solid solution Sc (7 at.%):Ce at the Ce L-3 (2p-->5d) and M-4,M-5 (3d-->4f) absorption edges. We deduce ...
