A single-phase crystalline Na3V2O2(PO4)2F material has been prepared by the solvothermal method. Partial ion exchange between Na and Li was then used to form Na3−xLixV2O2(PO4)2F. The two materials were studied as positive cathodes by physical characterization, electrochemical measurements, and simulation. With density functional theory calculations, four stable phases of NaxV2O2(PO4)2F were ide...

High frequencies of the fast allele of alcohol dehydrogenase-2 (Adh-2F) are found in populations of Drosophila mojavensis that inhabit the Baja California peninsula (race BII) whereas the slow allele (Adh-2S) predominates at most other localities within the species' geographic range. Race BII flies utilize necrotic tissue of pitaya agria cactus (Stenocereus gummosus) which contains high levels ...

انتقال ویروس کرونا به داخل سلول از طریق اسپایک‌های انجام می‌شود پس یکی بهترین راه‌های مقابله با سلول‌های بدن، ایجاد اختلال در روند عملکرد است. بنابراین این تحقیق، چگونگی جذب و انرژی پرتوهای رادیواکتیو سارس کووید2، مرس کووید، یوکی کووید توسط ابزار جینت4- دی اِن اِی شبیه‌سازی شده نتایج حاصل پرتودهی اسپایک‌ها یکدیگر مقایسه آن‌جایی که عوامل کاهش ماندگاری می‌باشد، پژوهش سعی است اسپایک ویروس­‌ها به‌وسی...

AIM Comparative study of the growth inhibition by different types of fluoride compounds used in dentistry has been limited. We investigated the effects of sodium fluoride (NaF), diammine silver fluoride [Ag(NH3)2F] and 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) on the growth of eleven human normal and tumor cells in total. MATERIALS AND METHODS Viable cell number was determined by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5...

Second harmonic generation (SHG) microscopy is a powerful tool for studying submicron architecture of muscles tissues. Using this technique, we show that the canonical single frequency sarcomeric SHG intensity pattern (SHG-IP) of premetamorphic xenopus tadpole tail muscles is converted to double frequency (2f) sarcomeric SHG-IP in metamorphic climax stages due to massive physiological muscle pr...

The first two vocal tract resonances (R1 and R2) of 22 classically trained sopranos, altos, tenors, and baritones were measured while they sang four different vowels over their normal pitch range. The resonances of the tract and the harmonics of the voice were measured simultaneously by injecting a broadband acoustic current into the tract at their mouth. Sopranos were found to tune R1 close to...

Direct near-IR excitation of Yb(3+) 2F(7/2)-->(2)F(5/2) levels at 10126, 10138, and 10596 cm(-1) in CsMnBr3:0.5%Yb(3+) leads to three types of luminescence at cryogenic temperatures: near-IR Yb(3+) emission and green and red upconverted luminescence. The green luminescence around 20 000 cm(-1) is identified as cooperative Yb(3+) pair upconversion. The broad red upconversion luminescence band ce...
