The mycelial growth rates in lineal growth assay, yield, and production rate of five Pleurotus ostreatus strains were evaluated in response to different levels of Mn(II) and/or NH4+ in a substrate containing sunflower seed hulls as a main energy and nutritional component. Each strain showed different basal values for mycelial growth rate and biological efficiency on sunflower seed-hull substrat...

A novel method for preparing α-norbornene methylene polystyrene macromonomer (NBMPSt) is reported. NBMPSt macromonomer ( Mn = 1.60 × 10 and PDI = 1.26) had glass transition temperature (Tg) of 107 C for polystyrene segment. Since the homopolymerization of NBMPSt macromonomer with number average molecular weight ( Mn ) 1.60 ×10 could not be carried out by ring-opening metathesis polymerization (...

The Mn cluster complex [Mn 12 O 12 (CH 3 COO) 16 (H 2 O) 4 ] ) 2CH 3 COOH ) 4H 2 O exhibits macroscopic quantum tunneling of magnetic moment, as evidenced by pronounced steps in the magnetization curve at low temperatures. The magnetization of Mn 12 acetate single crystals, and the slow relaxation of the magnetic moment, was measured in the temperature range from 3 K down to 60 mK with a very s...

in order to evaluate the seed yield and qualitative traits and oil in some winter rapeseed (brassica napus l.) varieties as affected by micronutrient elements, this experiment was performed during 2011 - 2012 cropping seasons as split plot arrangement in randomized complete block design with three replications, in arak, iran. micronutrient fertilizers including of zero as check, fe, zn, mn, fe ...

An icosahedral Al−Pd−Mn quasicrystal sample is laser vaporized to form metal clusters by gas aggregation. The clusters are subsequently laser ionized and mass analyzed in a time-of-flight mass spectrometer. The mass spectra show cluster compositions which are qualitatively similar to that of the sample. This is consistent with a kinetically controlled cluster growth process. Cluster thermodynam...
