Mindblown: a blog about philosophy.

Within the experimental constraint, there are two possible experimental geometries based on the incident beam directions, as shown by the blue and red arrows in Fig. 1a,b. The CD-ARPES values for the two geometries are nearly opposite to each other near the Brillouin zone corner, whereas they are almost identical near the Ŵ point. These observations are well…

Its range extends as far north as the Cascade mountains and south into Baja California, though it is most dominant in southern California shrublands . They frequently occur on exposed ridges and rocky outcroppings. In the chaparral shrublands of Santa Barbara County, it occurs from elevations of about 500- 1200m. A. glauca are obligate seeders,…

Previous studies investigated the effects of leaf removal on grape berry skin anthocyanin and flavonol concentration, and some studies focused on scrutinizing the various outcomes from the different timings of leaf removal. However, in our case, PFLR was not effective in increasing berry skin anthocyanin concentration in either season. Previous work indicated that berry exposure…

In Bolgheri, regardless the developmental stage there were many clusters with a very high abundance level in Cabernet Sauvignon . In Montalcino and even more in Riccione we also observed differences between the expressions of clusters in the two cultivars, with ripened and green berries showing an almost opposite profile in terms of number of clusters more…

Census Bureau and the State Demographer’s office. Because TABOR generally limits revenue collections to the prior year’s amount plus population growth and inflation, the state’s population is an important figure in determining available revenue to appropriate. Differences in the federal and state estimates of Colorado’s population meant that the Joint Budget Committee would need to address…

Chern magnets are not metals and thus don’t have the same limitations as metallic magnetic memories. For example, the resistance of a Chern magnet is independent of its size, depending only on fundamental physical constants. This makes the resistance of a Chern magnet completely insensitive to miniaturization. Dissipation does occur in Chern magnets, but it…

To start with, if we attempt to proceed as we normally would- by assigning atomicorbitals to all of the atoms in the unit cell, computing overlap integrals, and then diagonalizing the resulting matrix to extract the hybridized eigenstates of the system- we would immediately run into problems, because the unit cell has far too many…

Here, we report the unique magnetotransport signatures of high quality quasi-2D Cr2Te3 MBE-grown thin films governed by non-trivial band topologies. Via synergetic structural, magnetic, and transport measurements, together with first-principles simulations, we have uncovered novel Berry-curvature-induced magnetism featuring an extraordinary sign reversal of the AHE as we modulate the temperature and the strain for the thin…

The Department of Education proposed to allocate much of this increase to “categorical programs,” which are educational initiatives tailored to specific groups of students including those with disabilities, ESL students, at-risk students, and gifted and talented students, as well as specialized programs such as technical training, health education, and school transportation. The final budget included…

In addition to the $13.6 billion in General Fund spending, the governor also proposed a one-time economic stimulus of $1.3 billion. Upon taking office in 2019, Governor Polis highlighted four key areas of investment: 1) tax reform and economic development, 2) energy and renewables, 3) health, and 4) education and workforce. He described his budget…
