Pnictogen-halide semiconductors for photovoltaics by Liu, P

“…The emission spectra of indoor light sources are narrower and blue-shifted compared to the standard terrestrial outdoor AM 1.5G solar spectrum, which is the reference spectrum for standard testing of solar energy conversion systems, with a specified standard irradiance of 1000 W/m2[1]; AM stands for air mass coefficient. The intensity of indoor light sources is approximately three orders of magnitude lower than 1-sun illumination [2, 3]. …”

Ammonia-dependent reducing power redistribution for purple phototrophic bacteria culture-based biohydrogen production by Huang, Peitian, Chen, Yun, Li, Zong, Zhang, Baorui, Yu, Siwei, Zhou, Yan

“…However, existing studies report much lower H2 yields than theoretical value when using acetate as carbon source and ammonia as nitrogen source, primarily attributed to the widely employed pulse-feeding mode which suffers from ammonia inhibition effect on nitrogenase. …”

Growth of gallium nitride nanowires by low pressure chemical vapor deposition (LPCVD) by Wang, Jianbo

“…Ni-catalyzed GaN nanowires with high GaN nanowire density were found to occur at an optimal growth temperature around 750 °C, which is significantly lower than the typical GaN nanowire growth temperatures using thermal CVD in the literatures. …”

Climate change: crop performance and potential by Ramlan, Mohd Fauzi

“…A report from ACOP indicated that the top ten countries such as China, USA, EU, Russia and Japan have contributed to more than half of the CO2 emission in the world. Efforts to bring the CO2 under control will only be seen over a long period of time. …”

Electrode modification by diazonium chemistry : studies on the effect of steric bulk on film thickness, and modified activated carbon cloths for energy storage by Subrata, Arnold

“…Although ACCs have inherently lower porosity and specific surface area than other more commonly preferred carbonaceous materials for EDLCs, they were chosen for the study due to their mechanical stability and flexibility (and hence great potential for use in wearable electronics) while being electrically conductive. …”

Relationship of sperm protamine content with bull breeding soundness evaluation and sperm DNA damage by Mohamed Abbad Alfadel, Fatima

“…A post hoc comparison disclosed that the mean values of bull B514 for protamine deficiency were significantly higher than the other bulls (P < 0.05). Negative significant relationship (P < 0.05) was observed between protamine deficiency and the percentages of normal sperm morphology (NS) and progressive motility (PM). …”

Study on localized ion transportation phenomena in YSZ at high temperature by Ng, Chee Seng

“…Yttria stabilized zirconia (YSZ) is a popular solid oxide electrolyte material for solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) due to its high ionic conductivity and high stability properties at high operating temperature. Much of the research effort has been focused on lowering the operating temperature of SOFC for wider material selection and reduction on the thermal related damage when operating at high temperature. …”
