Memory function formalism approach to electrical conductivity and optical response of dilute magnetic semiconductors
(arXiv, 2007)
A combination of the memory function formalism and time-dependent density-functional theory is applied to transport in dilute magnetic semiconductors. The approach considers spin and charge disorder and electron-electron ...
Time-dependent density functional theory: Derivation of gradient-corrected dynamical exchange-correlational potentials
(American Physical Society, 2007)
We have recently proposed an approximation for the dynamical exchange-correlation (XC) potentials of time-dependent current-density functional theory beyond the local density approximation [Phys. Rev. Lett. 97, 036403 ...
Gravimagnetic effect of the barycentric motion of the Sun and determination of the post-Newtonian parameter gamma in the Cassini experiment
(arXiv, 2007)
The most precise test of the post-Newtonian gamma parameter in the solar system has been achieved in measurement of the frequency shift of radio waves to and from the Cassini spacecraft as they passed near the Sun. The ...
Gravitational bending of light by planetary multipoles and its measurement with microarcsecond astronomical interferometers
(arXiv, 2007)
General relativistic deflection of light by mass, dipole, and quadrupole moments of gravitational field of a moving massive planet in the Solar system is derived in the approximation of the linearized Einstein equations. ...
Gravimagnetism, Causality, and Aberration of Gravity in the Gravitational Light-Ray Deflection Experiments
(arXiv, 2007)
Experimental verification of the existence of gravimagnetic fields generated by currents of matter is important for a complete understanding and formulation of gravitational physics. Although the rotational (intrinsic) ...
Ultrastructural Islet Study of Early Fibrosis in the Ren2 Rat Model of Hypertension Emerging Role of the Islet Pancreatic Pericyte-Stellate Cell
(Journal of the Pancreas, 2007)
Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a multifactorial disease with polygenic and environmental stressors resulting in multiple metabolic toxicities and islet oxidative stress. We have integrated the role of the islet renin-angiotensin ...
Comparative study of normal and branched alkane monolayer films adsorbed on a solid surface. II. Dynamics
(American Institute of Physics, 2007)
The dynamics of monolayer films of the n-alkane tetracosane (n-C24H52) and the branched alkane squalane (C30H62) adsorbed on graphite have been studied by quasielastic and inelastic neutron scattering and molecular dynamics ...
Comparative study of normal and branched alkane monolayer films adsorbed on a solid surface. I. Structure
(American Institute of Physics, 2007)
The structure of a monolayer film of the branched alkane squalane (C30H62) adsorbed on graphite has been studied by neutron diffraction and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and compared with a similar study of the ...
Mineralocorticoid Receptor Blockade Attenuates Chronic Overexpression of the Renin-Angiotensin- Aldosterone System Stimulation of Reduced Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide Phosphate Oxidase and Cardiac Remodeling
(Endocrinology, 2007-08)
The renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system contributes to cardiac remodeling, hypertrophy, and left ventricular dysfunction.
Angiotensin II and aldosterone (corticosterone in rodents) together generate reactive oxygen species ...
The Necessary and Sufficient Conditions for Friendship
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2007)
“I Cannot Rule Myself” The Pitfalls of Sensibility in Mary Shelley's The Last Man
(Interdisciplinary Doctoral Student Council at the University of Missouri- Kansas City, 2007)
Left-Libertarianism and Private Discrimination
(University of San Diego School of Law, 2007)
Left-libertarianism, like the more familiar right-libertarianism, holds that agents initially fully own themselves. Unlike right-libertarianism, however, it views natural resources as belonging to everyone in some egalitarian ...
Estradiol and Bisphenol A Stimulate Androgen Receptor and Estrogen Receptor Gene Expression in Fetal Mouse Prostate Mesenchyme Cells
(Environmental Health Perspectives, 2007)
Hormonal alterations during development have lifelong effects on the prostate gland. Endogenous estrogens, including 17β-estradiol (E2), and synthetic estrogenic endocrine disruptors, such as bisphenol A (BPA), have similar ...
Security in User- Assisted Communications
(Interdisciplinary Doctoral Student Council at the University of Missouri- Kansas City, 2007)
Today, companies called service providers enable communications and control the
related infrastructures. However, with increased computing power, advanced wireless
technologies and more standardized terminals, users in ...
