Two Dimensional Spin-Polarized Electron Gas at the Oxide Interfaces
The formation of a novel spin-polarized 2D electron gas at the LaMnO
monolayer embedded in SrMnO is predicted from the first-principles
density-functional calculations. The La (d) electrons become confined in the
direction normal to the interface in the potential well of the La layer,
serving as a positively-charged layer of electron donors. These electrons
mediate a ferromagnetic alignment of the Mn t spins near the interface
via the Anderson-Hasegawa double exchange and become, in turn, spin-polarized
due to the internal magnetic fields of the Mn moments.Comment: 5 pages, 6 figure
Strain and Electric Field Modulation of the Electronic Structure of Bilayer Graphene
We study how the electronic structure of the bilayer graphene (BLG) is
changed by electric field and strain from {\it ab initio} density-functional
calculations using the LMTO and the LAPW methods. Both hexagonal and Bernal
stacked structures are considered. The BLG is a zero-gap semiconductor like the
isolated layer of graphene. We find that while strain alone does not produce a
gap in the BLG, an electric field does so in the Bernal structure but not in
the hexagonal structure. The topology of the bands leads to Dirac circles with
linear dispersion in the case of the hexagonally stacked BLG due to the
interpenetration of the Dirac cones, while for the Bernal stacking, the
dispersion is quadratic. The size of the Dirac circle increases with the
applied electric field, leading to an interesting way of controlling the Fermi
surface. The external electric field is screened due to polarization charges
between the layers, leading to a reduced size of the band gap and the Dirac
circle. The screening is substantial in both cases and diverges for the Bernal
structure for small fields as has been noted by earlier authors. As a biproduct
of this work, we present the tight-binding parameters for the free-standing
single layer graphene as obtained by fitting to the density-functional bands,
both with and without the slope constraint for the Dirac cone.Comment: 7 pages, 7 figure
Designing Verbal Message And Visual Media Of Quick Chicken
Quick Chicken currently exists on more than 8 islands, more than 17 provinces, more than 220 outlets. Compared to similar fried chicken outlets, Quick Chicken outlet designs are more attractive because they use the concept of selling in containers. The advantages of Quick Chicken are offering a menu that is a combination of traditional and western, in addition, Quick Chicken also offers larger pieces of chicken than its competitors, namely Hisana and Sabana. Currently Quick Chicken is experiencing a decline in sales. This happens because the promotion done has not been able to make the target audience aware and loyal. The question research is how to design verbal message and visual media as the solustion for the problem above. Semantics is used to define the verbal message, while advertising theory is used as the the grand theory of visual media. The methode used is qualitative descriptif. The result is as the recommendation design of the verbal message and visual media as the solution for the problem using AISAS. The conclusion is with the design of Quick Chicken promotion, it is hoped that being able to be a solution to identified problems, and it can also be a reference for similar problems as well.

Parameter Estimates of General Failure Rate Model: A Bayesian Approach
The failure rate function plays an important role in studying the lifetime
distributions in reliability theory and life testing models. A study of the
general failure rate model , under squared error loss
function taking and independent exponential random variables has been
analyzed in the literature. In this article, we consider and not
necessarily independent. The estimates of the parameters and under
squared error loss, linex loss and entropy loss functions are obtained here
