Novel source/drain contact structure for a-IGZO devices: Oxygen-scavenger-layer metal-interlayer-semiconductor (OSL MIS) approach by Sungjoo Song, Jong-Hyun Kim, Jongyoun Park, Seung-Hwan Kim, Dongjin Ko, Hyejung Choi, Seiyon Kim, Hyun-Yong Yu

“…Recently, amorphous indium gallium zinc oxide (a-IGZO) has gained prominence for its application to stackable 3-dimensional (3D) dynamic random-access memory (DRAM) due to its ultra-low off-current and low-temperature fabrication. However, a high contact resistance of a-IGZO still limits the device performance. …”

STUDY OF GERMINATION REGARDING THE COMBAT OF WEEDS IN MEADOWS WITH REFERENCE TO CIRSIUM VULGARE SPECIES by Lisena Piscoran, Teodor Rusu

“…Seed germination is the most important stage in the life cycle of a plant.During seed germination,various metabolic processes are activated that ensure seedling growth and important physiological and biochemical changes occur.Factors acting during seed development (temperature, moisture, burial and microbial damage) can influence subsequent germination performance.Developmental(eg,inflorescence,age) and positional (within or between inflorescences of the parent plant) effects may also be important.In general,C.vulgare is a Euriecia species(species with a high degree of adaptability) common on wet alluvial soils.C vulgare reproduction: pollination takes place by insects (entomogamous pollination) or possibly by wind (anemogamous pollination).They are plants with a biennial reproductive cycle.In the first year they have a single rosette of leaves, while in the second year they bloom completely.They are herbaceous plants that differ from the other biological forms because,being annual,they overcome the adverse season in the form of seeds and are equipped with an erect and often leafless flower axis.…”

Non-targeted Metabolomic Analysis of Differences in the Composition of Different Rice Varieties for Baijiu Production by LIU Maoke, TIAN Xinhui, LIU Yao, TANG Yuming, QIN Jian, FENG Jun, LIU Chengyuan

“…Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analysis of differential metabolites identified 16 significantly differential biological pathways (P < 0.05), of which 14 were assigned to metabolic functions, including those related to Baijiu brewing such as galactose metabolism, the biosynthesis of unsaturated fatty acids, fatty acid biosynthesis, and butanoate metabolism. These results offer a better understanding of the relationship between raw materials and Baijiu brewing, thereby providing a basis for selecting and promoting high-quality raw materials.…”

Unsuccessful Peace-making: the Mission of Francesco da Collo and Antonio de Conti to Moscow (1518-1519) by O. F. Kudriavtsev
