All GaN NWs were grown under N-rich growth conditions with a III/V ratio of 0.2. Before growth, the silicon wafer was firstly degassed in the growth chamber at 900 °C for 30 min. Then, 60 s surface nitridation was performed at 800 °C to form a few monolayers of SixNy, ...
Peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) is an important oilseed crop worldwide. However, soil salinization becomes one of the main limiting factors of peanut production. Therefore, developing salt-tolerant varieties and understanding the molecular mechanisms of sal
Spirulina inclusion in broiler diets, administered in extruded form or combined with a super-dosing enzymatic blend comprising pancreatin and lysozyme, on growth performance, gut viscosity, carcass characteristics, and the quality and nutritional profile of meat during the growth phase from day 14 to ...
In this process, sulfate is incorporated into adenosine-5′-phosphosulfate (APS), which is then activated by ATP to form PAPS that can be reduced to sulfite by PAPS reductase (COG0175), and further participated in the formation of many essential biomolecules like iron-sulfur (Fe–S) clusters...
4). These changes were directly related to the nocturnal storage of CO2 in the form of organic acids and the subsequent remobilization and decarboxylation of the organic acids during the light period [25]. As malate is the predominant form of organic acid stored in most CAM plants [26], ...
2011). Their small grain size and their formation on the crystal faces of the sandstone phases, also including the newly formed barite suggest that they form late, possibly during cooling of the sample. Their occurrence implies elevated Si concentrations of the solution after reaction and may be...
Similarly, cancer cells treated with same concentration of Ag-np showed increased chromosomal aberrations compared to control. Untreated cancer cells (Figure 5C) showed aberrations in the form of centric fragments (2%) and dicentric chromosomes (16%, Figure 5D), whereas Ag-np treated cancer cells ...
of Zn in their polished form. Breeding rice varieties with high grain Zn has been suggested to be a sustainable, targeted, food-based and cost effective approach in alleviating Zn deficiency. The physiological, genetic and molecular mechanisms of Zn homeostasis have been well studied, but these ...
Before conductance measurement, a layer of granules was gently flattened to form an homogeneous and confluent layer [21] on top of the electrode slide, covering the whole surface area including the non-conductive gap. Two independent measurements (duplicates) were performed for each granular sludge....
Originally, tin was used for the dyeing of blue silk in the form of “tin crystals” (Hurst, 1892), that is, stannous chloride, SnCl2. While it could not be used as a weighting agent alone, it was observed to increase the effect of tannin weighting. For this, the silk was treated ...
