and is called the valence band. The empty band is called the conduction band. The energy of the highest filled state is called Fermi energy. There is a certain energy gap, called band gap, between valence and conduction bands. Primarily four types of band structure exist in solids. Band Theory In metals the valence band is either partially filled (Cu) or the valence and conduction bands overlap (Mg). Insulators and semiconductors have completely filled valence band and empty conduction

New evidence suggests that sudden heart intensive panic attacks are most likely due to abnormalities in the brain. People with panic disorder, according to scientists at the National Institute of Health, have drastic reduction of 5-HT1A, a type of serotonin receptor. The findings lead scientists to believe that the serotonin reduction plays a role in panic disorder. Traditionally the biological basis of the disease has been poorly understood. Though serotonin enhancers have acted as some

is indeed harmful--it is associated with higher managerial entrenchment, lower pay for performance sensitivity (PPS), and weaker firm performance--its impact on firm performance is benign when CEO power is restrained by strong external governance mechanisms. Concentration of ability based power in CEO appears to enhance firm performance, but only when external governance is strong. CEO share ownership (as independent variable) shows a U-shaped relation with entrenchment, and -shaped relations with

can to make their equations simpler. For example, we believe there are four fundamental forces of the universe: gravity, electromagnetism, and the strong and weak nuclear forces. Each one of these forces alone is represented by ugly, chaotic equations. In an attempt to “splice” all four equations together, each equation was revised to include a component that allowed the forces to operate in 10 dimensions instead of the four we are familiar with. Low and behold, after the adjustment, the equations
