Ecosystem services of biodiversity in organic grasslands

The use of multi-species mixtures in herbage production can add value in terms of improved conditions for pollinating insects, better resource utilization, carbon sequestration, yield stability, animal health and product quality. This is the hypothesis of a new project - EcoServe - where the goal is to design grasslands, which increase both the nature value and provide an economically sustainable food production

Search for associated Higgs boson production at DØ

Using 1 fb-1 of data the DO collaboration has searched for the production of a Higgs boson in association with a W or a Z boson. The W or Z boson is required to decay leptonically and whereas the Higgs boson decays into a bb pair. Searches in these final states are the most sensitive for a Higgs boson with a mass less than about 130 GeV/c2. No evidence for Higgs boson production has been observed and 95% C.L. upper limits on the Higgs boson production cross section are derived.http://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/64209/1/jpconf8_110_042029.pd

Biodiversitet i græsmarken - en fordel for både natur og fødevareproduktion

Anvendelse af mange-arts-blandinger i græsmarker til produktion kan øge nytteværdien, f.eks. i form af forbedrede vilkår for bestøvende insekter, øget ressourceudnyttelse, kulstoflagring, udbyttestabilitet, husdyrsundhed og produktkvalitet. Det er hypotesen i et nyt projekt, hvor målet er at designe græsmarker, som både øger naturværdien og giver en økonomisk bæredygtig fødevareproduktion

Magnetic Anisotropy of Isolated Cobalt Nanoplatelets

Motivated in part by experiments performed by M.H. Pan et al. (nanoletters, v.5, p 83, 2005), we have undertaken a theoretical study of the the magnetic properties of two-monolayer thick Co nanoplatelets with an equilateral triangular shape. The analysis is carried out using a microscopic Slater-Koster tight-binding model with atomic exchange and spin-orbit interactions designed to realistically capture the salient magnetic features of large nanoclusters containing up to 350 atoms. Two different truncations of the FCC lattice are studied, in which the nanoplatelet surface is aligned parallel to the FCC (111) and (001)crystal planes respectively. We find that the higher coordination number in the (111) truncated crystal is more likely to reproduce the perpendicular easy direction found in experiment. Qualitatively, the most important parameter governing the anisotropy of the model is found to be the value of the intra-atomic exchange integral J. If we set the value of J near the bulk value in order to reproduce the experimentally observed magnitude of the magnetic moments, we find both quasi-easy-planes and perpendicular easy directions. At larger values of J we find that the easy-axis of magnetization is perpendicular to the surface, and the value of the magnetic anisotropy energy per atom is larger. The possible role of hybridization with substrate surface states in the experimental systems is discussed.Comment: 15 pages, 13 figure
