Ammonium oxidation by bacteria and archaea have functional implications for nitrification across a forested landscape by Jennifer Wen, Rima Upchurch, Donald R. Zak

“…Using high‐throughput sequencing, we identified the amoA of AOA and AOB from northern forest stands that occur across a natural gradient of nitrification, soil pH, and net N mineralization (i.e., NH4+ availability). Specifically, we investigated changes in relative abundance and community composition of AOA and AOB across a soil pH and net N mineralization gradient, and how turnover in community composition is linked to nitrification. …”

Realization of Colored Multicrystalline Silicon Solar Cells with SiO2/SiNx:H Double Layer Antireflection Coatings by Minghua Li, Libin Zeng, Yifeng Chen, Lin Zhuang, Xuemeng Wang, Hui Shen

“…Firstly, we modeled the perceived colors and short-circuit current density (Jsc) as a function of SiNx:H thickness for single layer SiNx:H, and as a function of SiO2 thickness for the case of SiO2/SiNx:H (DARC) with fixed SiNx:H (refractive index n=2.1 at 633 nm, and thickness = 80 nm). The simulation results show that it is possible to achieve various colors by adjusting the thickness of SiO2 to avoid significant optical losses. …”
