Electrical and photoelectric properties of photocell on base of Schottky barrier contact Au-n-GaAs by A. I. Blesman, R. B. Burlakov

“…It is shown that air annealing of structures n-n+-GaAs-AuGe under (200–220) ºC within 30 minutes before precipitating a film Au on n-GaAs brings to the reduction on two- three orders direct I dir and inverse I inv currents (under 0,5 V) to reduction on three orders of density of the current of the saturation J0 , to reduction of capacities of photocells before values (204–191) pF under inverse tensions (0,22–0,96) V, reduction of the current of the short circuit of photocells and to increase their photovoltage that connected with formation fine oxide layer on n-GaAs under air annealing of structures n-n+-GaAs-AuGe.…”

The inoculum potential of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in soil amended with swine slurry by A. S. Nakatani, G. S. Machineski, A. S. Scaramal, A. Colozzi-Filho

“…Method: The spore density, the external mycelium, and the most probable number of infective propagules of mycorrhizal fungal abundance were assessed in soil samples from an Oxisol in a long-term field experiment in response to soil management (no-tillage and conventional tillage) and following successive application of swine slurry (0, 30, 60, 90 and 120 m3·ha-1·year-1). Results: A greater amount of external mycelium was observed in soil under no-tillage, while mycorrhizal fungal abundance spore density was greater in soil under conventional tillage. …”

Influence of terms of fabrication on electrical and photoelectric properties of photocell on base of Schottky barrier contact Pd-n-GaAs by A. I. Blesman, R. B. Burlakov

“…There is shown that air annealing of structures n-n+-GaAs-AuGe under (200–210) C within 30 minutes before precipitating a film Pd on n-GaAs brings: to the reduction on two orders direct Idir and inverse Iinv currents (under 0,5 V), to reduction on three orders of density of the current of the saturation J0 , to reduction of capacities of photocells before values (241– 233) pF under inverse tensions (0,22–0,96) V, reduction of the current of the short circuit of photocells and to increase their photovoltage that connected with formation fine insulator film on n-GaAs under air annealing of structures n-n+-GaAs-AuGe.…”

Impact of Combined Acidic and Hyperosmotic Shock Conditions on the Proteome of Listeria monocytogenes ATCC 19115 in a Time-Course Study by Dong Lai Zhang, Ya Long Bai, John P. Bowman

“…Proteomic responses, measured using iTRAQ techniques, were conducted over a time course (5 min, 30 min, and 1 h at 25°C). The enumeration results showed that, at 5 min, cells underwent initial rapid inactivation by 1.2 log units and 2.5 log units after 30 min, and after that, culturability remained stable when sampled at 1 h. …”
