Theoretical Investigation Of A Mn-doped Si Ge Heterostructure
We investigate, through ab initio density-functional theory calculations, the electronic and structural properties of neutral Mn impurities at tetrahedral interstitial and substitutional sites in both Si and Ge layers of a Si Ge heterostructure. We conclude that substitutional Mn at the Ge layers is more stable than interstitial Mn at the Si layers by approximately 0.45 eV, and we estimate an energy barrier of at least 1.12 eV to diffuse away from these most stable substitutional sites. Mn has a magnetic moment in the heterostructure that is similar to that in the bulk, and for the compressed Ge layer the Mn-Mn exchange interaction is always weakly antiferromagnetic. Varying the lattice constant of the substrate, the Mn-Mn ground state becomes ferromagnetic. This result opens up the possibility of manipulating the interaction between Mn impurities at Ge layers grown over a Si1-x Gex substrate by changing x. © 2007 The American Physical Society.757Žutić, I., Fabian, J., Das Sarma, S., (2004) Rev.

Архієпископ Кримський Лука про способи духовного оздоровлення Кримської єпархії
In the past decade, mass-spectrometry-based methods have emerged for the quantitative profiling of dynamic changes in protein phosphorylation, allowing the behavior of thousands of phosphorylation sites to be monitored in a single experiment. However, when one is interested in specific signaling pathways, such shotgun methodologies are not ideal because they lack selectivity and are not cost and time efficient with respect to instrument and data analysis time. Here we evaluate and explore a peptide-centric antibody generated to selectively enrich peptides containing the cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) consensus motif. This targeted phosphoproteomic strategy is used to profile temporal quantitative changes of potential PKA substrates in Jurkat T lymphocytes upon prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) stimulation, which increases intracellular cAMP, activating PKA. Our method combines ultra-high-specificity motif-based immunoaffinity purification with cost-efficient stable isotope dimethyl labeling. We identified 655 phosphopeptides, of which 642 (i.e. 98%) contained the consensus motif [R/K][R/K/X]X[pS/pT]. When our data were compared with a large-scale Jurkat T-lymphocyte phosphoproteomics dataset containing more than 10,500 phosphosites, a minimal overlap of 0.2% was observed. This stresses the need for such targeted analyses when the interest is in a particular kinase. Our data provide a resource of likely substrates of PKA, and potentially some substrates of closely related kinases. Network analysis revealed that about half of the observed substrates have been implicated in cAMP-induced signaling. Still, the other half of the here-identified substrates have been less well characterized, representing a valuable resource for future research
Structure And Energetics Of Molecular Point Defects In Ice Ih
We present a first-principles study of the molecular vacancy and three distinct molecular interstitial structures in ice Ih. The results indicate that, due to its bonding to the surrounding hydrogen-bond network, the bond-center (Bc) configuration is the favored molecular interstitial in ice Ih. A comparison between the vacancy and the Bc interstitial suggests that the former is the predominant molecular point defect for T 200K although a crossover scenario in which the latter becomes favored below the melting point is conceivable. © 2006 The American Physical Society.9715Petrenko, V.F., Whitworth, R.W., (1999) The Physics of Ice, , Oxford University Press, OxfordHaas, C., (1962) Phys.

Energetics and stability of vacancies in carbon nanotubes
In this work we present ab initio calculations of the formation energies and
stability of different types of multi-vacancies in carbon nanotubes. We
demonstrate that, as in the case of graphene, the reconstruction of the defects
has drastic effects on the energetics of the tubes. In particular, the
formation of pentagons eliminates the dangling bonds thus lowering the
formation energy. This competition leads to vacancies having an even number of
carbon atoms removed to be more stable. Finally the appearance of magic numbers
indicating more stable defects can be represented by a model for the formation
energies that is based on the number of dangling bonds of the unreconstructed
system, the pentagons and the relaxation of the final form of the defect formed
after the relaxation

Hospitais: espaços de cura e lugares de memória da saúde
O presente artigo pretende analisar o Hospital Gaffrée e Guinle, construído na década de 1920, na cidade do Rio de Janeiro, em um processo de tomada de controle, pela administração pública, da gestão da assistência hospitalar na capital federal. Esse hospital representa o encontro da filantropia com um projeto de saúde pública posto em prática no Distrito Federal à mesma época. A instituição sintetiza também o desenvolvimento da medicina e sua tradução na arquitetura hospitalar, bem como a efervescência intelectual do período, mais especificamente das idéias nacionalistas, interpretadas tanto na escolha do estilo arquitetônico - o neocolonial - quanto na questão da salvação da raça através do combate e controle da sífilis.This paper analyzes the Gaffrée & Guinle Hospital, built in Rio de Janeiro during the 1920s as the result of a process whereby the government took over the management of hospital care in the federal capital. The hospital is the point of convergence between philanthropy and a public healthcare project implemented in the Federal District at that time. It also synthesizes the development of medicine and how the latter translates into hospital architecture, as well as the intellectual effervescence at the time, more specifically the nationalist ideas which can be identified both in the choice of architectural style - namely the neocolonial - and in the theme of salvation of a race through the combat and control of syphilis
