Part 2 of a tutorial given in the Brazilian Physical Society meeting, ENFMC. Abstract: Density-functional theory (DFT) was developed 50 years ago, connecting fundamental quantum methods from early days of quantum mechanics to our days of computer-powered science. Today DFT is the most widely used method in electronic structure calculations. It helps moving forward materials sciences from a single atom to nanoclusters and biomolecules, connecting solid-state, quantum chemistry, atomic and molecular physics, biophysics and beyond. In this tutorial, I will try to clarify this pathway under a historical view, presenting the DFT pillars and its building blocks, namely, the Hohenberg-Kohn theorem, the Kohn-Sham scheme, the local density approximation (LDA) and generalized gradient approximation (GGA). I would like to open the black box misconception of the method, and present a more pedagogical and solid perspective on DFT.

We present an ab-initio real-time based computational approach to nonlinear optical properties in Condensed Matter systems. The equation of mot ions, and in particular the coupling of the electrons with the external electric field, are derived from the Berry phase formulation of the dynamical polarization. The zero-field Hamiltonian includes crystal local field effects, the renormalization of the independent particle energy levels by correlation and excitonic effects within the screened Hartree- Fock self-energy operator. The approach is validated by calculating the second-harmonic generation of SiC and AlAs bulk semiconductors : an excellent agreement is obtained with existing ab-initio calculations from response theory in frequency domain . We finally show applications to the second-harmonic generation of CdTe the third-harmonic generation of Si.

A new universal formula for atoms, planets, and galaxiesIOSR Journals
In this paper a new universal formula about the rotation velocity distribution of atoms, planets, and galaxies is presented. It is based on a new general formula based on the relativistic Schwarzschild/Minkowski metric, where it has been possible to obtain expressions for the rotation velocity - and mass distribution versus the distance to the atomic nucleus, planet system centre, and galactic centre. A mathematical proof of this new formula is also given. This formula is divided into a Keplerian(general relativity)-and a relativistic(special relativity) part. For the atomic-and planet systems the Keplerian distribution is followed, which is also in accordance with observations.
According to the rotation velocity distribution of the galaxies the rotation velocity increases very rapidly from the centre and reaches a plateau which is constant out to a great distance from the centre. This is in accordance with observations and is also in accordance with the main structure of rotation velocity versus distance from different galaxy measurements.
Computer simulations were also performed to establish and verify the rotation velocity distributions in the atomic – planetary- and galaxy system, according to this paper. These computer simulations are in accordance with observations in two and three dimensions. It was also possible to study the matching percentage in these calculations showing a much higher matching percentage between theoretical and observational values by this new formula.
The Population of the Galactic Center Filaments: Position Angle Distribution ...Sérgio Sacani
We have examined the distribution of the position angle (PA) of the Galactic center filaments with lengths L > 66″ and
<66″ as well as their length distribution as a function of PA. We find bimodal PA distributions of the filaments, and
long and short populations of radio filaments. Our PA study shows the evidence for a distinct population of short
filaments with PA close to the Galactic plane. Mainly thermal, short-radio filaments (<66″) have PAs concentrated
close to the Galactic plane within 60° < PA < 120°. Remarkably, the short filament PAs are radial with respect to the
Galactic center at l < 0° and extend in the direction toward Sgr A*
. On a smaller scale, the prominent Sgr E H II
complex G358.7-0.0 provides a vivid example of the nearly radial distribution of short filaments. The bimodal PA
distribution suggests a different origin for two distinct filament populations. We argue that the alignment of the shortfilament population results from the ram pressure of a degree-scale outflow from Sgr A* that exceeds the internal
filament pressure, and aligns them along the Galactic plane. The ram pressure is estimated to be 2 × 106 cm−3 K at a
distance of 300 pc, requiring biconical mass outflow rate 10−4 Me yr−1 with an opening angle of ∼40°. This outflow
aligns not only the magnetized filaments along the Galactic plane but also accelerates thermal material associated with
embedded or partially embedded clouds. This places an estimate of ∼6 Myr as the age of the outflow.

An exact solution of the dirac oscillator problem in the context of generaliz...eSAT Journals
Abstract
In this paper, we present an exact solution of the Dirac oscillator problem in one dimension in the context of the generalized
uncertainty principle (GUP). The solution method presented here depends on the knowledge of the energy eigenvalues of the quantum
harmonic oscillator with GUP. The crucial property of harmonic oscillator that the kinetic energy and the potential energy part of the
Hamiltonian are of equal weight is used to obtain exact energy spectrum. Our result coincides with the results found in the literature.
However, the solution procedure is completely different from others, very handy and alternative one. Moreover, we also remark the
super symmetry aspects of the system.

DERIVATION OF MODIFIED BERNOULLI EQUATION WITH VISCOUS EFFECTS AND TERMINAL V...Wasswaderrick3
In this book, we use conservation of energy techniques on a fluid element to derive the Modified Bernoulli equation of flow with viscous or friction effects. We derive the general equation of flow/ velocity and then from this we derive the Pouiselle flow equation, the transition flow equation and the turbulent flow equation. In the situations where there are no viscous effects , the equation reduces to the Bernoulli equation. From experimental results, we are able to include other terms in the Bernoulli equation. We also look at cases where pressure gradients exist. We use the Modified Bernoulli equation to derive equations of flow rate for pipes of different cross sectional areas connected together. We also extend our techniques of energy conservation to a sphere falling in a viscous medium under the effect of gravity. We demonstrate Stokes equation of terminal velocity and turbulent flow equation. We look at a way of calculating the time taken for a body to fall in a viscous medium. We also look at the general equation of terminal velocity.
Phenomics assisted breeding in crop improvementIshaGoswami9
As the population is increasing and will reach about 9 billion upto 2050. Also due to climate change, it is difficult to meet the food requirement of such a large population. Facing the challenges presented by resource shortages, climate
change, and increasing global population, crop yield and quality need to be improved in a sustainable way over the coming decades. Genetic improvement by breeding is the best way to increase crop productivity. With the rapid progression of functional
genomics, an increasing number of crop genomes have been sequenced and dozens of genes influencing key agronomic traits have been identified. However, current genome sequence information has not been adequately exploited for understanding
the complex characteristics of multiple gene, owing to a lack of crop phenotypic data. Efficient, automatic, and accurate technologies and platforms that can capture phenotypic data that can
be linked to genomics information for crop improvement at all growth stages have become as important as genotyping. Thus,
high-throughput phenotyping has become the major bottleneck restricting crop breeding. Plant phenomics has been defined as the high-throughput, accurate acquisition and analysis of multi-dimensional phenotypes
during crop growing stages at the organism level, including the cell, tissue, organ, individual plant, plot, and field levels. With the rapid development of novel sensors, imaging technology,
and analysis methods, numerous infrastructure platforms have been developed for phenotyping.

ESR spectroscopy in liquid food and beverages.pptxPRIYANKA PATEL
With increasing population, people need to rely on packaged food stuffs. Packaging of food materials requires the preservation of food. There are various methods for the treatment of food to preserve them and irradiation treatment of food is one of them. It is the most common and the most harmless method for the food preservation as it does not alter the necessary micronutrients of food materials. Although irradiated food doesn’t cause any harm to the human health but still the quality assessment of food is required to provide consumers with necessary information about the food. ESR spectroscopy is the most sophisticated way to investigate the quality of the food and the free radicals induced during the processing of the food. ESR spin trapping technique is useful for the detection of highly unstable radicals in the food. The antioxidant capability of liquid food and beverages in mainly performed by spin trapping technique.
