Unified TeV scale picture of baryogenesis and dark matter

We present a simple extension of the minimal supersymmetric standard model which provides a unified picture of cosmological baryon asymmetry and dark matter. Our model introduces a gauge singlet field N and a color triplet field X which couple to the right-handed quark fields. The out-of-equilibrium decay of the Majorana fermion N mediated by the exchange of the scalar field X generates adequate baryon asymmetry for MN approximately 100 GeV and MX approximately TeV. The scalar partner of N (denoted N1) is naturally the lightest SUSY particle as it has no gauge interactions and plays the role of dark matter. The model is experimentally testable in (i) neutron-antineutron oscillations with a transition time estimated to be around 10(10)sec, (ii) discovery of colored particles X at LHC with mass of order TeV, and (iii) direct dark matter detection with a predicted cross section in the observable range.     

Chemical compounds from Phoenician juniper berries (Juniperus phoenicea)

Natural chemical compounds are a widely researched topic worldwide because of their potential activity against cerebrovascular diseases. Chemicals from Juniperus phoenicea berries are reported in this study. Lipids (11%) from seeds are mainly unsaturated (86%). Minerals are also quantified like Na (63.8?mg per 100?g?DW) or K (373.9?mg per 100?g?DW). Total reduced sugars are ca 192.6?mg?g(-1)?DW. Polyphenols and flavonoids from berries are highly present with an average of 1764?±?174.3?mg gallic acid per 100?g?DW and 890?±?47.6?mg rutin per 100?g?DW, respectively. Mean free radical scavenging activities, determined by DPPH and ABTS, are 1337?±?126.2?mM TEAC per 100?g?DW and 1105.7?±?95.9?mM TEAC per 100?g?DW, respectively. All findings improve the possible presence of biologically active fractions in phytocomplex that could be used as such and/or extracted for the formulation of supplements and/or ingredients for the pharmaceutical industry.     

Electrical conductivity and dielectric relaxation behavior of AgFeP2O7 compound

In the present study, AgFeP₂O₇ was prepared by a solid-state reaction method. Rietveld refinement of the X-ray diffraction pattern suggests the formation of the single phase desired compound with monoclinic structure at room temperature. Not only were the impedance spectroscopy measurements of our compound carried out from 209 Hz to 5 MHz over the temperature range of 553 K–698 K but its AC conductivity as well as the dielectric relaxation were evaluated. Impedance measurements show AgFeP₂O₇ an ionic conductor being the conductivity 1.04?×?10^–?5(Ω^–?1cm^–?1) at 573 K. The conductivity and modulus formalisms provide nearly the same activation energies for electrical relaxation of mobile ions revealing that transport properties in this material appear to be due to an ionic hopping mechanism dominated by the motion of the Ag⁺ ions along tunnels presented in the structure of the investigated material.

Electronic, magnetic, and structural characterization of the five-coordinate, high-spin iron(II) nitrato complex [Fe(TpivPP)(NO3)]-

The preparation and characterization of the five-coordinate iron(II) porphyrinate derivative [Fe(TpivPP)(NO3)]- (TpivPP = picket-fence porphyrin) is described. Structural and magnetic susceptibility data support a high-spin state (S = 2) assignment for this species. The anionic axial nitrate ligand is O-bound, through a single O atom, with an Fe-O bond length of 2.069(4) A. The planar nitrate ligand bisects a N(p)-Fe-N(p) angle. The average Fe-N(p) bond length is 2.070(16) A. The Fe atom is located 0.49 A out of the 24-atom mean porphyrin plane toward the nitrate ligand. From solid-state M?ssbauer data, the isomer shift of 0.98 mm/s at 77 K is entirely consistent with high-spin iron(II). However the quadrupole splitting of 3.59 mm/s at 77 K is unusually high for iron(II), S = 2 systems but within the range of other five-coordinate high-spin ferrous complexes with a single anionic axial ligand. Crystal data for [K(222)][Fe(TpivPP)(NO3)] x C6H5Cl: a = 17.888 (5) A, b = 21.500 (10) A, c = 22.514 (11) A, beta = 100.32 (3) degrees, monoclinic, space group P2(1)/n, V = 8519 A3, Z = 4.
