ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area. These pocket-sized books are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly. Our expert authors combine facts, analysis, perspective, new ideas, and...
non-magnetic atoms. As discussed in Section III C, each vacancy can be associated with a quasispin. Because the quasispin contribution to the susceptibility χ(T) is more singular at low temperatures than the bulk susceptibility [cf.eqn (3.3)], it dominates the effect of changing the impurit...
plausible one. Even if it were the case that children tended to be more skeptical of claims, your story would REMAIN obviously false; whereas Constant's story would remain an important factor, and would raise the question of why we don't see what would be expected given the relevant facts...
Key Facts About Short-Chain Fatty Acids • Short-chain fatty acidsare released bygut bacteriaupon fermentation of dietary fiber. • Dietary fibers are complex carbohydrates undigested by the host and are the main source of energy for thegut microbiota. ...
This inflates the size of data atoms by some polynomial, with in turn increases the running time of cryptographic operations by another polynomial, combining multiplicatively. 1.2 Identity-Based Encryption with Tight Security Digital signatures and identity-based encryption (IBE) are closely connected,...
mixed crystalshydrogen bondsOne of the most intriguing facts about hydrogen bonds is that bonds formed between the same couple of donor and acceptor atoms can have large variation in the geometry as well as energies; this is mainly because hydrogen bonds are highly sensitive to their environment....
which smell like rotten eggs.And molecules with very different structures can smell similar.Most strikingly, some molecules can smell different — to animals, if not necessarily to humans — simply because they contain different isotopes (atoms that are chemically identical but have a different mass...
A novel fine carbon fiber is produced by vapor growth, in which a graphite-net plane consisting of carbon atoms alone forms a temple-bell-shaped structural unit comprising closed he
"Cyclized" also refers to forming a ring by a covalent bond between the side chains of two suitable amino acids in the peptide, preferably the terminal amino acids. For example, a disulfide can be formed between the sulfur atoms in the side chains of two cysteines. Alternatively, an ester...
For example, a disulfide can be formed between the sulfur atoms in the side chains of two cysteines. Alternatively, an ester can be formed between the carbonyl carbon in the side chain of, for example, a glutamic acid or an aspartic acid, and the oxygen atom in the side chain of, for...
