The isostatic jamming limit of frictionless spherical particles from Edwards' statistical mechanics [Song et al., Nature (London) 453, 629 (2008)] is generalized to arbitrary dimension d using a liquid-state description. ...

The conductance of two Anderson impurity models, one with twofold and another with fourfold degeneracy, representing two types of quantum dots, is calculated using a world-line quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) method. Extrapolation ...

Background: Image contrast in clinical MRI is often determined by differences in tissue water proton relaxation behavior. However, many aspects of water proton relaxation in complex biological media, such as protein solutions ...

The equilibrium phase behavior of microphase-forming systems is notoriously difficult to obtain because of the extended metastability of the modulated phases. We develop a simulation method based on free-energy integration ...

Measurements of neutron-deuteron (n-d) analyzing power A(y)(theta) at E-n = 19.0 MeV are reported at 16 angles from theta(c.m.) = 46.7 to 152.0 degrees. The objective of the experiment is to better characterize the ...

A 1 : 1 mixture of (dppf)PtCl2 and AgOTf (5 mol%) catalyzed the intermolecular hydroamination of monosubstituted allenes with secondary alkylamines at 80 degrees C to form allylic amines in good yield with selective formation ...

It is known that the exact density functional must give ground-state energies that are piecewise linear as a function of electron number. In this work we prove that this is also true for the lowest-energy excited states ...

Uveal melanosomes from the iridal stroma contain both eumelanin and pheomelanin, the ratio of which varies with iris color. Herein, we report the absorption coefficient at lambda = 244 nm for individual human iridal stroma ...
