The GRBF has the shape parameter ccc, which plays an important role in the accuracy of the approximation. In this work, we will use it to interpolate functions and solve linear boundary value problems (LBVP). Some numerical experiments are presented to show accuracy and robustness of the GRBF with SVSP strategy. These results have the best accuracy for the one- and two-dimensional interpolations and LBVP. Besides, the numerical results show that the SVSP for GRBF often outperforms constant shape parameter strategy.

Drought stress is a well-known factor that influences the production of some metabolites. We studied the impact of drought stress on gene expression and metabolite content in flower and leaf tissue organs of two ecotypes, Taybad and Ardakan populations. Plants were imposed into three water level conditions, control, moderate, and severe water deficit. Concerning the results, the expression of Limonene synthase in flower organ of the Ardakan genotype increased 2.2 times under 50% of field capacity, whereas, the expression of Flavone synthase in leaf tissue of the Ardakan ecotype, was the highest in this level of stress. Moreover, the majority of detected terpenoids were β-Acoradiene and γ-Terpinene in leaf and flower organs, respectively. Altogether, the monoterpenes content was decreased in both ecotypes, but sesquiterpenes increased only in the Ardakan population. Kn...

The aim of this study was to investigate the anti-oxidative and anti-inflammatory effects of silymarin-loaded chitosan nanoparticles (SM-CS-NPs) on rat model of global cerebral ischemia/reperfusion (I/R). All rats were randomly distributed into four groups: Control, I/R, SM and SM-CS-NPs. Oral administration of SM and SM-CS-NPs was started 14 days prior to bilateral common carotid artery occlusion (BCCAO). Depressive-like behaviors, infarct volume, some oxidative stress markers and inflammatory factors were assessed after induction of I/R. SM-CS-NPs pretreatment significantly ameliorated depressive-like behaviors and infarct volume after I/R. SM-CS-NPs also significantly decreased the levels of malondialdehyde (MDA), and expression of interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), and significantly increased the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), glutathione reductase (GRx), and glutathione (GSH) levels in I/R brain. The current study demonstrated that SM-CS-NPs pretreatment effectively prevents oxidative and inflammatory damage in the brain caused by I/R, and it can be considered as a useful pretreatment to attenuate the negative effects of I/R.

Research paper thumbnail of Operation of graphene magnetic field sensors near the charge neutrality point

Because of its Dirac band structure, graphene sensors differ from semiconductor sensors in that both electrons and holes participate in the carrier transport. This two-channel transport complicates the sensor operation and causes performance tradeoffs that demand careful examination. Here, we examine the operation of graphene sensors operated near the charge neutrality point (CNP) where two-channel transport prevails. We find that, while the largest magnetoresistance occurs exactly at the CNP, the maximum realizable Hall sensitivities occur away from the CNP and depend on linearity constraints and power limitations. In particular, a more stringent linearity constraint reduces the realizable sensitivities for mobilities above a critical value µ c , which scales with magnetic field.

Research paper thumbnail of Ni thickness influence on magnetic properties (Co/Ni/Co/Pt) multilayers with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy

The thickness t of the Ni sub-layer was varied and the resulting magnetic properties were compared with (Co/Ni) and (Co/Pt) multilayers with the same number of repeats. As determined from magnetic force microscopy and magnetometry measurements, all multilayers exhibited a perpendicular magnetic anisotropy with an increase of saturation magnetization with thickness t. From the temperature dependence of the magnetization, well described by a Bloch law, we find that the spin-wave stiffness constant of the [Co/Ni(t)/Co/Pt] ×8 multilayers is larger compared to (Co/Ni) multilayers. These multilayers could be the basis for spintronic devices where the reduction of total Pt content could help to reduce the damping constant while keeping the magnetic anisotropy energy relatively high. These are conflicting requirements needed for high performance magnetic memory devices. Highlights • New material based on (Co/Ni/Co/Pt) multilayer with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy is investigated. • The magnetic properties were investigated in (Co/Ni/Co/Pt) with different Ni thickness. • Micromagnetic simulation was carried out to reproduce magnetic force microscopy images. • From magnetometry measurements, micromagnetic simulation and temperature dependence of intrinsic properties (saturation magnetization and anisotropy energy), Block constant and spin wave stiffness were determined for each sample.

Research paper thumbnail of Magnonic holographic imaging of magnetic microstructures

Journal of Magnetism and Magnetic Materials, 2017

In this approach, the object of interest is placed on top of a magnetic testbed made of material with low spin wave damping. There are micro-antennas incorporated in the testbed. Two of these antennas are used for spin wave excitation while another one is used for the detecting of inductive voltage produced by the interfering spin waves. The measurements are repeated for different phase differences between the spin wave generating antennas which is equivalent to changing the angle of illumination. The collected data appear as a 3D plotthe holographic image of the object. We present experimental data showing magnonic holographic images of a low-coercivity Si/Co sample, a high-coercivity sample made of SrFe 12 O 19 and a diamagnetic copper sample. We also present images of the three samples consisting of a different amount of SrFe 12 O 19 powder. The imaging was accomplished on a Y 3 Fe 2 (FeO 4) 3 testbed at room temperature. The obtained data reveal the unique magnonic signatures of the objects. Experimental data is complemented by the results of numerical modeling, which qualitatively explain the characteristic features of the images. Potentially, magnonic holographic imaging may complement existing techniques and be utilized for non-destructive in-situ magnetic object characterization. The fundamental physical limits of this approach are also discussed.

Research paper thumbnail of Prime factorization using magnonic holographic devices

A polynomial-time algorithm was invented by P. Shor for quantum computers. However, the realization of quantum computers is associated with significant technological challenges in achieving and preserving quantum entanglement. Prime factorization can be also solved by using classical wave interference without quantum entanglement. In this work, we present experimental data showing prime factorization by utilizing spin wave interference. The prime factorization includes three major steps. First, general type computer calculates the sequence of numbers m k mod(N), where N is the number to be factorized, m is a randomly chosen positive integer, and k=0,1,2,3,4,5,6 ... Next, the period of calculated sequence r is determined by exploiting spin wave interference. Finally, the general type

Research paper thumbnail of Modulation of the spectral characteristics of a nano-contact spin-torque oscillator via spin waves in an adjacent YIG film

IEEE Magnetics Letters, 2016

In passive mode, i.e., without auto-oscillations, the NC-STOs both excite and detect spin waves (SW) in the YIG film. In active mode, i.e., in the presence of auto-oscillations, significant changes appear in the NC-STO spectrum when its frequency approaches that of the SWs excited in the YIG. These results demonstrate strong coupling between NC-STOs and SWs in YIG and open new possibilities of (1) pure spin-current generation in YIG by NC-STOs, (2) mutual locking of a number of NC-STOs through SWs in YIG, and (3) improvement of NC-STO spectra through SW feedback in YIG.

In this paper, we propose the modified version of Black-Scholes model with two assets based on the Liouville-Caputo fractional derivative. The analytical solution of the proposed model is investigated by the Laplace transform homotopy perturbation method.

In this approach, the object of interest is placed on top of a magnetic testbed made of material with low spin wave damping. There are micro-antennas incorporated in the testbed. Two of these antennas are used for spin wave excitation while another one is used for the detecting of inductive voltage produced by the interfering spin waves. The measurements are repeated for different phase differences between the spin wave generating antennas which is equivalent to changing the angle of illumination. The collected data appear as a 3D plotthe holographic image of the object. We present experimental data showing magnonic holographic images of a low-coercivity Si/Co sample, a high-coercivity sample made of SrFe 12 O 19 and a diamagnetic copper sample. We also present images of the three samples consisting of a different amount of SrFe 12 O 19 powder. The imaging was accomplished on a Y 3 Fe 2 (FeO 4) 3 testbed at room temperature. The obtained data reveal the unique magnonic signatures of the objects. Experimental data is complemented by the results of numerical modeling, which qualitatively explain the characteristic features of the images. Potentially, magnonic holographic imaging may complement existing techniques and be utilized for non-destructive in-situ magnetic object characterization. The fundamental physical limits of this approach are also discussed.

A polynomial-time algorithm was invented by P. Shor for quantum computers. However, the realization of quantum computers is associated with significant technological challenges in achieving and preserving quantum entanglement. Prime factorization can be also solved by using classical wave interference without quantum entanglement. In this work, we present experimental data showing prime factorization by utilizing spin wave interference. The prime factorization includes three major steps. First, general type computer calculates the sequence of numbers m k mod(N), where N is the number to be factorized, m is a randomly chosen positive integer, and k=0,1,2,3,4,5,6 ... Next, the period of calculated sequence r is determined by exploiting spin wave interference. Finally, the general type

Research paper thumbnail of Modulation of the spectral characteristics of a nano-contact spin-torque oscillator via spin waves in an adjacent YIG film

IEEE Magnetics Letters, 2016

NiFe-Cu-Co trilayer nano-contact spin-torque oscillators (NC-STOs) fabricated on an yttrium-iron ... more NiFe-Cu-Co trilayer nano-contact spin-torque oscillators (NC-STOs) fabricated on an yttrium-iron garnet (YIG) film were studied in two different modes. In passive mode, i.e., without auto-oscillations, the NC-STOs both excite and detect spin waves (SW) in the YIG film. In active mode, i.e., in the presence of auto-oscillations, significant changes appear in the NC-STO spectrum when its frequency approaches that of the SWs excited in the YIG. These results demonstrate strong coupling between NC-STOs and SWs in YIG and open new possibilities of (1) pure spin-current generation in YIG by NC-STOs, (2) mutual locking of a number of NC-STOs through SWs in YIG, and (3) improvement of NC-STO spectra through SW feedback in YIG.
