In a global world and economy, sharing and communicating new results is a key aspect of any research, development, and innovation activity. This is even more important for the Computer Science and Engineering domain, in which the scientific community has…

The electronic, elastic and thermal properties of RECd (RE =La, Ce and Pr) intermetallic compounds crystallizing in B2-type structure have been studied using first principles density functional theory within generalized gradient approximation (GGA), and the local spin density approximation (LSDA)…

Chlorothalonil (2,4,5,6-tetrachloroisophthalonitrile) is a polychlorinated aromatic mainly used as a broad spectrum, contact fungicide. A rational approach to test these fungicides is to know the three dimensional structure of these compounds and macromolecular receptor sites as well as their molecular complex .The structures of these…
