Orbital Ordering in ferromagnetic Lu2V2O7
We have observed the orbital ordering in the ferromagnetic Mott-insulator
Lu2V2O7 by the polarized neutron diffraction technique. The orbital ordering
pattern determined from the observed magnetic form factors can be explained in
terms of a linear combination of wave functions |yz>, |zx> and |xy>; |0> =
(1/3)^(1/2) |xy> + (1/3)^(1/2)|yz> + (1/3)^(1/2) |zx> which is proportional to
|(x + y + z)^2 - r^2>; where each orbital is extended toward the center-of-mass
of the V tetrahedron. We discuss the stability of the ferromagnetic Lu2V2O7,
using a Hubbard Hamiltonian with these three orbitals.Comment: 17pages. to be published in J. Phys. Soc. Jpn. 74 (2005
Mercury Exposure from Domestic and Imported Estuarine and Marine Fish in the U.S. Seafood Market
BACKGROUND: Methylmercury exposure causes a variety of adverse effects on human health. Per capita estimates of mercury exposure are critical for risk assessments and for developing effective risk management strategies. OBJECTIVE: This study investigated the impact of natural stochasticity in mercury concentrations among fish and shellfish harvested from the Atlantic Ocean, Pacific Ocean, and foreign shores on estimated mercury exposures. METHODS: Mercury concentrations and seafood consumption are grouped by supply region (Atlantic Ocean, Pacific Ocean, and foreign shores). Distributions of intakes from this study are compared with values obtained using national FDA (Food and Drug Administration) mercury survey data to assess the significance of geographic variability in mercury concentrations on exposure estimates. RESULTS: Per capita mercury intake rates calculated using FDA mercury data differ significantly from those based on mercury concentration data for each supply area and intakes calculated for the 90th percentile of mercury concentrations. CONCLUSIONS: Differences in reported mercury concentrations can significantly affect per capita mercury intake estimates, pointing to the importance of spatially refined mercury concentration data. This analysis shows that national exposure estimates are most influenced by reported concentrations in imported tuna, swordfish, and shrimp; Pacific pollock; and Atlantic crabs. Collecting additional mercury concentration data for these seafood categories would improve the accuracy of national exposure estimates
Genotype imputation of Hereford and Bradford bovine breeds from Brazil.
The bovine breeding programs in Brazil are trying to adopt the use of genetic markers, a procedure called genomic selection (GS). GS consists in genotyping a given reference population with known phenotype and in the discovery of the associated genetic markers. The effect of the markers are estimated and validated so it is possible to predict the genetic values of the candidates of selection based on their genotypes.X-meeting 2016
Intrinsic double-peak structure of the specific heat in low-dimensional quantum ferrimagnets
Motivated by recent magnetic measurements on A3Cu3(PO4)4 (A=Ca,Sr) and
Cu(3-Clpy)2(N3)2 (3-Clpy=3-Chloropyridine), both of which behave like
one-dimensional ferrimagnets, we extensively investigate the ferrimagnetic
specific heat with particular emphasis on its double-peak structure. Developing
a modified spin-wave theory, we reveal that ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic
dual features of ferrimagnets may potentially induce an extra low-temperature
peak as well as a Schottky-type peak at mid temperatures in the specific heat.Comment: 5 pages, 6 figures embedded, Phys. Rev. B 65, 214418 (2002
