Spectral and dose dependence of light-induced ion flux responses from maize leaves and their involvement in leaf expansion growth
(Oxford Univ Press, Oxford, 2007)
Two types of segments (intact leaf tissue and isolated mesophyll tissue respectively) were isolated from basal (still growing) and tip (non-growing) maize leaf regions. The leaf segments were exposed to different light ...
Infrared reflection spectroscopy of Zn2SnO4 thin films deposited on silica substrate by radio frequency magnetron sputtering
(Elsevier Science Sa, Lausanne, 2008)
Single-phase zinc-stannate thin films of different thickness values were prepared by radio frequency magnetron sputtering on a silica substrate. Rietveld analysis of X-ray diffraction data confirmed that the films had an ...
Electronic and transport properties of contacts between molybdenum sulfide nanowires and gold electrodes
(Amer Inst Physics, Melville, 2008)
We report unique electronic and transport properties of contacts between a molybdenum sulfide nanowire and a gold electrode. The pointlike contacts exhibit a remarkable transparency for the charge carrier injection, which ...
Activity and stability of soluble and immobilized alpha-glucosidase from baker's yeast in cosolvent systems
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, Abingdon, 2006)
The activity of alpha-glucosidase from baker's yeast was determined in various concentrations of dioxan, tetrahydrofuran, tert-butanol, dimethylformamide, methanol and dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO). Higher activities were ...
Photoacoustic and optical properties of zinc-stannate thin films
(Trans Tech Publications Ltd, Durnten-Zurich, 2006)
Thin films of single-phase zinc-stannate (Zn2SnO4) were grown by rf magnetron sputtering onto glass substrates. Transmission in the visible range was measured allowing determination of the energy gap and thickness of ...
Microstructural and compositional aspects of ZnO-based varistor ceramics prepared by direct mixing of the constituent phases and high-energy milling
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2008)
ZnO-based varistor samples were prepared by the direct mixing of the constituent phases (DMCP) and sintering at 1100 degrees C for 2 h. The influence of the starting powder mixture's composition - the amounts of the ...
Synthesis and Biological Activities of Thio-avarol Derivatives
(Amer Chemical Soc, Washington, 2008)
Eleven new thio-avarol derivatives (3-13) were synthesized. Their antimicrobial, brine shrimp lethality, and free-radical scavenging activities and acetylcholinesterase inhibition, together with 12 already reported ...
Pairing in planar organic superconductors
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2005)
The nature of superconductivity in planar organics is still a controversial problem. We investigate two types of d-wave and extended s-wave pairing proposed theoretically in a model of kappa-(BEDT-TTF)(2)X organic ...
Superfluid density and pairing in planar organic superconductors
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2005)
We calculate self-consistently in-plane superfluid density rho(parallel to)(s) in planar organic superconductors to]for three types of pairing symmetry: d(x2-y2), d(xy)-like and extended s-wave pairing. Assuming strong ...
Characterization of polyphenol oxidase changes induced by desiccation of Ramonda serbica leaves
(Wiley, Hoboken, 2008)
Resurrection plants are able to dehydrate/rehydrate rapidly without cell damage by a mechanism, the understanding of which may be of ecological importance in the adaptation of crop plants to dry conditions. The o-diphenol ...
