    : Pregnancy is a critical time or a golden period of the brief human growth and development time, a part of the Window of Opportunity, which affects the maternal and fetal health. Throughout the first phase of pregnancy, pregnant women need more food intake, accurate eating pattern, and also a balanced macronutrient intake. An adequate intake of food is very important to support the physical health and development of fetal mental health also decrease the risk of pregnancy complications. This study was aimed to obtain the description of food consumption pattern in pregnant women in Manado. This was a descriptive study with a cross sectional design using Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ) to obtain data of pregnant women in 5 public health centers in Manado from September to October 2016. Based on the FFQ data given by 181 respondents, the consumption of pregnant women in Manado was as follows: carbohydrate 159.97g/day, protein 79.15g/day, and fat 124.74g/ day. The most common foods consumed by the pregnant women were rice (carbohydrate), saltwater fish (protein), and coconut oil (fat). Meanwhile, chicken was rarely consumed (81.22%) and eel was never consumed (100%). Conclusion: Pregnant women in Manado had a food pattern that was lack in carbohydrate and high in fat according to pregnant women Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDA) in Indonesia

    Effect of high pressure on multiferroic BiFeO3

    We report experimental evidence for pressure instabilities in the model multiferroic BiFeO3 and namely reveal two structural phase transitions around 3 GPa and 10 GPa by using diffraction and far-infrared spectroscopy at a synchrotron source. The intermediate phase from 3 to 9 GPa crystallizes in a monoclinic space group, with octahedra tilts and small cation displacements. When the pressure is further increased the cation displacements (and thus the polar character) of BiFeO3 is suppressed above 10 GPa. The above 10 GPa observed non-polar orthorhombic Pnma structure is in agreement with recent theoretical ab-initio prediction, while the intermediate monoclinic phase was not predicted theoretically.Comment: new version, accepted for publication in Phys.

    Theory of imaging a photonic crystal with transmission near-field optical microscopy

    Full text link
    While near-field scanning optical microscopy (NSOM) can provide optical images with resolution much better than the diffraction limit, analysis and interpretation of these images is often difficult. We present a theory of imaging with transmission NSOM that includes the effects of tip field, tip/sample coupling, light propagation through the sample and light collection. We apply this theory to analyze experimental NSOM images of a nanochannel glass (NCG) array obtained in transmission mode. The NCG is a triangular array of dielectric rods in a dielectric glass matrix with a two-dimensional photonic band structure. We determine the modes for the NCG photonic crystal and simulate the observed data. The calculations show large contrast at low numerical aperture (NA) of the collection optics and detailed structure at high NA consistent with the observed images. We present calculations as a function of NA to identify how the NCG photonic modes contribute to and determine the spatial structure in these images. Calculations are presented as a function of tip/sample position, sample index contrast and geometry, and aperture size to identify the factors that determine image formation with transmission NSOM in this experiment.Comment: 28 pages of ReVTex, 14 ps figures, submitted to Phys.

    Spectra and total energies from self-consistent many-body perturbation theory

    With the aim of identifying universal trends, we compare fully self-consistent electronic spectra and total energies obtained from the GW approximation with those from an extended GW Gamma scheme that includes a nontrivial vertex function and the fundamentally distinct Bethe-Goldstone approach based on the T matrix. The self-consistent Green's function G, as derived from Dyson's equation, is used not only in the self-energy but also to construct the screened interaction W for a model system. For all approximations we observe a similar deterioration of the spectrum, which is not removed by vertex corrections. In particular, satellite peaks are systematically broadened and move closer to the chemical potential. The corresponding total energies are universally raised, independent of the system parameters. Our results, therefore, suggest that any improvement in total energy due to self-consistency, such as for the electron gas in the GW approximation, may be fortuitous. [S0163-1829 (98)05040-1]

    Excitation of Small Quantum Systems by High-Frequency Fields

    Full text link
    The excitation by a high frequency field of multi--level quantum systems with a slowly varying density of states is investigated. A general approach to study such systems is presented. The Floquet eigenstates are characterized on several energy scales. On a small scale, sharp universal quasi--resonances are found, whose shape is independent of the field parameters and the details of the system. On a larger scale an effective tight--binding equation is constructed for the amplitudes of these quasi--resonances. This equation is non--universal; two classes of examples are discussed in detail.Comment: 4 pages, revtex, no figure

    Separable Dual Space Gaussian Pseudo-potentials

    Full text link
    We present pseudo-potential coefficients for the first two rows of the periodic table. The pseudo potential is of a novel analytic form, that gives optimal efficiency in numerical calculations using plane waves as basis set. At most 7 coefficients are necessary to specify its analytic form. It is separable and has optimal decay properties in both real and Fourier space. Because of this property, the application of the nonlocal part of the pseudo-potential to a wave-function can be done in an efficient way on a grid in real space. Real space integration is much faster for large systems than ordinary multiplication in Fourier space since it shows only quadratic scaling with respect to the size of the system. We systematically verify the high accuracy of these pseudo-potentials by extensive atomic and molecular test calculations.Comment: 16 pages, 4 postscript figure
