The predissociation of the N2+ molecular ion in the C 2Σu+ electronic state through the nonadiabatic coupling with the B 2Σu+ electronic state is studied by solving the Schrödinger equation. The predissociation rates are ...

With the aim of better understanding recent experimental results, we performed density functional theory calculations (DFT), including van der Waals interactions, on bilayer graphene over a Ru(0001) surface. Two stacking ...

This article is part of the research project, "Youth musical mediations," that explores the appropriation of alternative means of communication which allow the young to develop identities sharply differentiated from those ...

The largest Kuiseb River floods initiate at the basin's semi-arid headwater. Downstream, along the hyperarid Namib Desert, these floodwaters are feeding shallow alluvial aquifers, the only available water for human activity ...

Intangible assets are currently one of the most prized resources of an organisation because of their ability to create value and their position as a competitive advantage. The production capability of the human capital ...

By performing ab initio calculations we obtained theoretical scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) images and studied the electronic properties of graphene on a hexagonal boron-nitrite (hBN) layer. Three different stack ...

The growing need for residential housing in Latin American countries has led to the construction of reinforced concrete buildings with wall thicknesses as low as 8–10 cm. Such walls have typically only a single layer of ...

As an emerging market, global business is of greatest importance in Colombia and several efforts are implemented to keep up with the international competitive environment. However, these efforts should be accompanied with ...
