Ultraslow growth rates of giant gypsum crystals.
Mineralogical processes taking place close to equilibrium, or with very slow kinetics, are difficult to quantify precisely. The determination of ultraslow dissolution/precipitation rates would reveal characteristic timing associated with these processes that are important at geological scale. We have designed an advanced high-resolution white-beam phase-shift interferometry microscope to measur...
متن کاملGrowth rates of protein crystals.
Protein crystallization is important for structural biology. The rate at which a protein crystallizes is often the bottleneck in determining the protein's structure. Here, we give a physical model for the growth rates of protein crystals. Most materials crystallize faster under stronger growth conditions; however, protein crystallization slows down under the strongest conditions. Proteins requi...
متن کاملGiant lamb shift in photonic crystals.
We obtain a general result for the Lamb shift of excited states of multilevel atoms in inhomogeneous electromagnetic structures and apply it to study atomic hydrogen in inverse-opal photonic crystals. We find that the photonic-crystal environment can lead to very large values of the Lamb shift, as compared to the case of vacuum. We also suggest that the position-dependent Lamb shift should exte...
متن کاملResponses of growth rates and growth hormone levels of African catfish (Clarias gariepinus) to stocking density
In order to estimate responses of growth rate and growth hormone of Clarias gariepinus to stocking density, fish (initial weight 30.71 ± 0.89 g) were stocked in 120-L tanks at densities of 35, 65, 95, and 125 kg/m3 for 60 days. On day 30 and 60, the fish growth rates were measured, pituitary growth hormone (GH) mRNA levels and serum GH concentrations were examined by real-time qPCR and ELISA te...
متن کاملmicromorphology of gypsum crystals in southern iranian soils under different moisture regimes
gypsiferous soils occur in xeric, ustic, and aridic moisture regimes. environmental conditions affect the mode of gypsum formation. gypsiferous soils in fars province, southern iran, are found in piedmont plains, flood plains, and alluvial plains. the objective of this work was to investigate the micromorphology of gypsum crystals formed under different soil moisture regimes. the results indica...
