Adsorption of hydrogen atoms to a carbon atom vacancy in graphene is investigated by means of periodic \emph{first principles} calculations, up to the fully hydrogenated state where six H atoms chemically bind to the vacancy. Addition of a single H atom is highly exothermic and barrierless, and binding energies remain substantial for further hydrogenation, w

Several characterizations of the Generalized Inverse Gaussian (GIG) distribution have been proposed in the literature, especially over the past two decades. These characterization theorems are surveyed, and two new characterizations are established, one based on maximum likelihood estimation and the other is a Stein characterization.

We propose the use of silicon graphene waveguides to implement a tunable broadband microwave photonics phase shifte based on integrated ring cavities. Numerical computation results show the feasibility for broadband operation over 40 GHz bandwidth and full 360 degree radiofrequency phase-shift with a modest voltage excursion of 0.12 volt.

It is shown that for any positive integer k and positive parameter lambda less than 2/k(k+1), the Poisson distribution of order k with parameter lambda has a unique mode, 0. In addition, the Poisson distribution of order 2 has a unique mode, 0, if lambda is less than -1 plus the square root of 3. It has two modes, 0 and 2, if lambda is equal to -1 plus the s

We demonstrate a novel artificial optical material, a photonic hyper-crystal, which combines the most interesting features of hyperbolic metamaterials and photonic crystals. Similar to hyperbolic metamaterials, photonic hyper-crystals exhibit broadband divergence in their photonic density of states due to the lack of usual diffraction limit on the photon wav

In cloud radio access networks (C-RANs), the baseband processing of the radio units (RUs) is migrated to remote control units (CUs). This is made possible by a network of backhaul links that connects RUs and CUs and that carries compressed baseband signals. While prior work has focused mostly on single-hop backhaul networks, this paper investigates efficient

The desired result of magnetic anisotropy investigations is the determination of value(s) of various anisotropy constant(s). This is sometimes difficult, especially when the precise knowledge of saturation magnetization is required, as it happens in ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) studies. In such cases we usually resort to `trick' and fit our experimental

Time travel has captured the public imagination for much of the past century, but little has been done to actually search for time travelers. Here, three implementations of Internet searches for time travelers are described, all seeking a prescient mention of information not previously available. The first search covered prescient content placed on the Inter

In Ad Hoc networks, route failure may occur due to less received power, mobility, congestion and node failures. Many approaches have been proposed in literature to solve this problem, where a node predicts pre-emptively the route failure that occurs with the less received power. However, this approach encounters some difficulties, especially in scenario with

Non-equilibrium Green's functions calculations based on density functional theory show a direct link between the initial stages of H$_2$ dissociation on a gold atomic wire and the electronic current supported by the gold wire. The simulations reveal that for biases below the stability threshold of the wire, the minimum-energy path for H$_2$ dissociation

We calculate the bridge distance for $m$-bridge knots/links in the $3$-sphere with sufficiently complicated $2m$-plat projections. In particular we show that if the underlying braid of the plat has $n - 1$ rows of twists and all its exponents have absolute value greater than or equal to three then the distance of the bridge sphere is exactly $\lceil n/(2(m -

Detection and manipulation of electrons' spins are key prerequisites for spin-based electronics or spintronics. This is usually achieved by contacting ferromagnets with metals or semiconductors, in which the relaxation of spins due to spin-orbit coupling limits both the efficiency and the length scale. In topological insulator materials, on the contrary,

The paper suggests a resolution for recent controversy over convergence of heat conductivity in one-dimensional chains with asymmetric nearest-neighbor potential. We conjecture that the convergence is promoted not by the mere asymmetry of the potential, but due to ability of the chain to dissociate. In other terms, the attractive part of the potential functi

The structural properties of the uranium-encapsulated nano-cage U@Au14 are predicted using density functional theory. The presence of the uranium atom makes the Au14 structure more stable than the empty Au14-cage, with a triplet ground electronic state for U@Au14. Analysis of the electronic structure shows that the two frontier single-occupied molecular orbi

When a two-body system is bound by a zero-range interaction, the corresponding three-body system -- considered in a non-relativistic framework -- collapses, that is its binding energy is unbounded from below. In a paper by J.V. Lindesay and H.P. Noyes it was shown that the relativistic effects result in an effective repulsion in such a way that three-body bi

It is shown that the Gibbs paradox is actually paralogism, viz. an erroneous statement sounding credible due to the statistic-mechanical interpretation of entropy as a measure of "any and all" irreversibility. As an alternative, the thermodynamic theory of irreversible mixing processes are offered.

Besides showing the strong exchange coupling that is consistent with the high magnetic ordering temperature, the previously observed spin reorientation transition is explained by the theoretically calculate

In the present paper, we deal mainly with arithmetic properties of Legendre polynomials by using their orthogonality property. We show that Legendre polynomials are proportional with Bernoulli, Euler, Hermite and Bernstein polynomials.

We study the kinetic, weak coupling limit of the dynamics governed by a discrete random Schrödinger operator on $\mathbb{Z}^3$. For sequences of $\ell^2\left(\mathbb{Z}^3\right)$-bounded initial states and convergent initial Wigner transform, we prove that the scaled Wigner transform converges to the solution of a linear Boltzmann equation in $L^r\left(\math

For a generalized super KdV equation, three Darboux transformations and the corresponding Bäcklund transformations are constructed. The compatibility of these Darboux transformations leads to three discrete systems and their Lax representations. The reduction of one of the Bäcklund-Darboux transformations and the corresponding discrete system are considered

This paper introduces a novel mixture model-based approach for simultaneous clustering and optimal segmentation of functional data which are curves presenting regime changes. The proposed model consists in a finite mixture of piecewise polynomial regression models. Each piecewise polynomial regression model is associated with a cluster, and within each clust

We consider the multidimensional generalised stochastic Burgers equation in the space-periodic setting: $ \partial \mathbf{u}/\partial t+$ $(\nabla f(\mathbf{u}) \cdot \nabla)$ $\mathbf{u} -νΔ\mathbf{u}=$ $\nabla η,\quad t \geq 0,\ \mathbf{x} \in \mathbb{T}^d=(\mathbb{R}/\mathbb{Z})^d,$ under the assumption that $\mathbf{u}$ is a gradient. Here $f$ is strong

This paper studies the heavy-traffic asymptotics for the multiclass FIFO M${}^X$/G/1 queue. We first derive the probability generating function of the joint queue length distribution. Using the probability generating function, we then present heavy-traffic asymptotic formulas for the joint queue length distribution and its joint moments (i.e., the joint queu

An ideal I of a local Cohen-Macaulay ring R is called a cohomologically complete intersection if H^i_I(R) = 0 for all i \neq c = height(I). Here H^i_I(R), i \in Z denotes the local cohomology of R with respect to I. For instance, a set-theoretic complete intersection is a cohomologically complete intersection. Here we study cohomologically complete intersect

Predicting protein 3D structure from amino acid sequence remains as a challenge in the field of computational biology. If protein structure homologues are not found, one has to construct 3D structural conformations from the very beginning by the so-called ab initio approach, using some empirical energy functions. A successful algorithm in this category, Rose

Let $Alg \mathcal{N}$ be a nest algebra associated with the nest $ \mathcal{N}$ on a (real or complex) Banach space $\X$. Suppose that there exists a non-trivial idempotent $P\in Alg\mathcal{N}$ with range $P(\X) \in \mathcal{N}$ and $δ:Alg\mathcal{N} \rightarrow Alg\mathcal{N}$ is a continuous linear mapping (generalized) left derivable at $P$, i.e. $δ(ab)=

Let $\T$ be a $2$-torsion free triangular ring and let $φ:\T\rightarrow \T$ be an additive map. We prove that if $\A φ(\B)+φ(\B)\A=0$ whenever $\A,\B\in \T$ are such that $\A\B=\B\A=0$, then $φ$ is a centralizer. It is also shown that if $τ:\T\rightarrow \T$ is an additive map satisfying $\label{t2} X,Y\in \T, \quad XY=YX=0\Rightarrow X τ(Y)+δ(X)Y+Yδ(X)+τ(Y)
