The structural, electrical and optical properties of spark plasma sintered BaSn1-xSbxO3 ceramics
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2020)
Antimony doped barium-stannate dense ceramic materials were synthesized using spark plasma sintering technique out of mechanically activated precursor powders. The influence of various Sb concentrations (x = 0.00 - 0.10) ...
Immobilization of cesium with alkali-activated blast furnace slag
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2020)
Alkali-activated binders (AABs), as a promising alternative to Portland cement, are now being used on a commercial scale in various applications around the world, including hazardous and radioactive waste immobilization. ...
New inversion boundary structure in Sb-doped ZnO predicted by DFT calculations and confirmed by experimental HRTEM
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, Oxford, 2020)
Today, ab-initio calculations are becoming a powerful tool to perform virtual experiments that have the capacity to predict and to reproduce experimentally observed non-periodic features, such as interfaces, that are ...
When a Palearctic bacterium meets a Nearctic insect vector: Genetic and ecological insights into the emergence of the grapevine Flavescence doree epidemics in Europe
(Public Library Science, San Francisco, 2020)
Author summary Since the first outbreaks, Flavescence doree epidemics had been associated to the introduction of the North American leafhopper vector Scaphoideus titanus. We hereby show that the associated phytoplasma ...
Interactions of Silicon With Essential and Beneficial Elements in Plants
(Frontiers Media Sa, Lausanne, 2021)
Silicon (Si) is not classified as an essential element for plants, but numerous studies have demonstrated its beneficial effects in a variety of species and environmental conditions, including low nutrient availability. ...
Evaluation of stability and functionality of BaCe1-xInxO3-delta electrolyte in a wider range of indium concentration
(Springer, New York, 2022)
The properties of BaCe1-xInxO3-delta (x = 0.05, 0.10, 0.15, 0.20, 0.25, 0.30, 0.35, and 0.40) as proton conducting electrolyte are examined. The dense electrolyte is formed after sintering at 1300 degrees C for 5 h in air. ...
Metal oxide nanoparticles for safe active and intelligent food packaging
(Elsevier Science London, London, 2021)
Background: Food safety and food security remain the major concern of consumers and the food industry. Bacterial contamination continues to be a crucial food safety issue. Smart packaging incorporates both active and ...
Silicon modifies leaf nutriome and improves growth of oak seedlings exposed to phosphorus deficiency and Phytophthora plurivora infection
(Frontiers, 2023)
Beneficial effects of silicon (Si) on plants have primarily been studied in crop species under single stress. Moreover, nutrient acquisition-based responses to combination of biotic and abiotic stresses (a common situation ...
Single yeast cell nanomotions correlate with cellular activity
(Amer Assoc Advancement Science, Washington, 2020)
Living single yeast cells show a specific cellular motion at the nanometer scale with a magnitude that is proportional to the cellular activity of the cell. We characterized this cellular nanomotion pattern of nonattached ...
