Senior thesis, Kansas State Agricultural College, 1908.Introduction: A cereal is any true grass that is grown for its edible seeds. There are six leading cereals in the United States which are given in the order of the area grown of each, as follows: Maize, Wheat, Oats, Barley, Rye and Rice. Buckwheat and kafir corn are sometimes called cereals

Transport properties of single atoms

We present a systematic study of the ballistic electron conductance through sp and 3d transition metal atoms attached to copper and palladium crystalline electrodes. We employ the 'ab initio' screened Korringa-Kohn-Rostoker Green's function method to calculate the electronic structure of nanocontacts while the ballistic transmission and conductance eigenchannels were obtained by means of the Kubo approach as formulated by Baranger and Stone. We demonstrate that the conductance of the systems is mainly determined by the electronic properties of the atom bridging the macroscopic leads. We classify the conducting eigenchannels according to the atomic orbitals of the contact atom and the irreducible representations of the symmetry point group of the system that leads to the microscopic understanding of the conductance. We show that if impurity resonances in the density of states of the contact atom appear at the Fermi energy, additional channels of appropriate symmetry could open. On the other hand the transmission of the existing channels could be blocked by impurity scattering.Comment: RevTEX4, 9 pages, 9 figure

Dynamical Coulomb blockade of multiple Andreev reflections

We analyze the dynamical Coulomb blockade of multiple Andreev reflections (MAR) in a superconducting quantum point contact coupled to a macroscopic impedance. We find that at very low transmission the blockade scales as $n^2$ with $n = {Int}(2\Delta/eV)$, where $V$ is the bias voltage and $\Delta$ is the superconducting gap, as it would correspond to the occurrence of "shots" of charge $ne$. For higher transmission the blockade is reduced both due to Pauli principle and to elastic renormalization of the MAR probability, and for certain voltage regions it may even become an "antiblockade", i.e. the current is enhanced due to the coupling with the electromagnetic environment.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figures, submitted to Phys.

Experimental Test of the Dynamical Coulomb Blockade Theory for Short Coherent Conductors

We observed the recently predicted quantum suppression of dynamical Coulomb blockade on short coherent conductors by measuring the conductance of a quantum point contact embedded in a tunable on-chip circuit. Taking advantage of the circuit modularity we measured most parameters used by the theory. This allowed us to perform a reliable and quantitative experimental test of the theory. Dynamical Coulomb blockade corrections, probed up to the second conductance plateau of the quantum point contact, are found to be accurately normalized by the same Fano factor as quantum shot noise, in excellent agreement with the theoretical predictions.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figures, accepted for publication in Physical Review Letter

Pozorišta u Vojvodini i u Srbiji od 1733. do 1874.

"Gajeći u prvom redu naš nacionalan repertoar, pozorišta su bila večita straža ideje našeg oslobođenja. I pored dužnosti da naš narod upoznaju s našom istorijom, naša su pozorišta, dajući predstave i iz hrvatskih narodnih komada, budila svest zbliženja i bratstva s Hrvatima. Takvim radom, pozorišta u Vojvodini i Srbiji, učinila su dakle mnogo, i ona su potpuno opravdala svoj zadatak u starije doba.
