Possibility of S=1 spin liquids with fermionic spinons on triangular lattices

In this paper we generalize the fermionic representation for $S=1/2$ spins to arbitrary spins. Within a mean field theory we obtain several spin liquid states for spin $S=1$ antiferromagnets on triangular lattices, including gapless f-wave spin liquid and topologically nontrivial $p_x+ip_y$ spin liquid. After considering different competing orders, we construct a phase diagram for the $J_1$-$J_3$-$K$ model. The application to recently discovered material $\mathrm{NiGa_2S_4}$ is discussed.Comment: 5 pages, 3 figure

Prediction of Financial Capacity using Diffusion Compartment Imaging

Financial Capacity (FC) is the ability to manage one’s financial affairs, which is essential for autonomy and independence particularly for aging adults. Since dementia develops gradually, it is often difficult to detect the early signs that this cognitive dysfunction is developing This project aims to use Neurite orientation dispersion and density imaging (NODDI) to identify the white matter tracts that are associated with FC. Diffusion Tensor Images (DTI) and T1 Magnetic Resonance Images (MRI) of 18 Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) subjects, 47 Mild Cognitive Impaired (MCI) subjects, and 193 healthy control (CN) are compared to neuropsychological tests. Orientation Dispersion Index (ODI) values are derived using NODDI analysis of the DTI and MRI. This study found that the ODI values in the cingulum have the highest association with FC. In conclusion, our study suggested that the degradation of white matter and episodic memory dysfunction were most strongly associated with reduced FC

Talent management among small and medium enterprise (SMEs) in Melaka for its sustainability

Talent management is critical for SMEs who face competition from bigger firm. In this research, review of academic work and attempt to organize the literature by creating a theoretical framework for understanding in talent management among SMEs in Melaka, Malaysia. To guide this research, theoretical framework highlights several level of knowledge in talent management among SMEs in Melaka, Malaysia for its sustainability. This research will also highlight the potential role of human resource activities in addressing those talent management challenges. This research will be conducted by providing true information by random sample without bias. One hundred respondents in random manufacturing SMEs companies participated in this study. An ANOV A test was used to investigate differences in the extent of companies' practices and talent management strategies types. Hierarchical regression analysis was carried out to examine the relationship between market orientation and organizational performance and the moderating effects of market environment variables
